Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (MD)

I had an account with Suntrust for a good three or four years. Overdrafts were a problem, and I admit that I was n't very good at handling them, but overall I think I was a good customer. 

I 'd had a good couple of weeks and put together the money to get my account out of the negative, and went to deposit it. I planned then to close the account and move to a simpler and less expensive service. However, I discovered that they had closed my account for me, making it impossible for me to pay. 

I have since been unable to open a new checking account owing to some hold, and my attempts at making payments to Suntrust to resolve this issue have all failed on various issues on their end, including unwillingness to take checks ( from family, not from me ) or money orders. I 've also been informed that even if I do pay Suntrust their money it may take 6 months or more for me to be able to open a new account. 

90 % of the money they claim I owe them would be their banking fees, and they charged me that money against my will and over my objections. I had made it clear I did not want overdraft protection, and they insisted on continuing to let me be overdrafted and charged me. I suffer from occasional mental health problems and find it very difficult to keep track of what bills at times, especially unwanted fees. 

I do n't know what I want you to do. I 'd be happy to pay them all the money they claim they desire, but I do n't feel comfortable bringing them cash. I do n't trust either my branch or them to handle it in such a manner.

Company: Seterus, Inc. (CA)

My mom has passed away and I am just trying to make payments for the house that is now under my dad 's name while it is waiting for a closing date. I have made payments on the account previously but as soon as I told them we are closing in few months, and is XXXX month behind on payment, they are just hanging up on me making it impossible for me to make any sort of payment. I know that in state of Virginia, mortgage companies can foreclose the house in 90 days. We have significant equity in the house so I do not want to preassume anything but this situation makes it seem like Seterus Inc is trying to prevent us from making payment so they can foreclose our property. They are keep telling me the information is wrong even though I am providing them with same information I have been telling them for months. All of the sudden, the information is incorrect as soon as I told them we are under contract and need to make 1 month of payment so that our house is prevented from going under foreclosure. Also, I now have to pay a late charge because they were not allowing me to make any payments before the pay period I was responsible for late charge.

Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act FCRA, these accounts listed below are violating my federally protected rights to privacy and confidentiality. 

XXXX - Account # XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account # XXXX XXXX  - Account # XXXX The banking system is very dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Any inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system and undermine the public confidence of this very same banking system. 
I sent out letter to the credit bureaus on XX/XX/2022 disputing these accounts, requesting them to be REMOVE from my credit file. Pursuant to 15 U.S CODE 1681 ( b ) PERMISSIBLE PURPOSE OF CONSUMER CREDIT ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and NO OTHER; ( 1 ) In response to a court written order, having jurisdiction to issue such order ; ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I did not give the bureaus any oral or written instructions to furnish any consumer report on my behalf.

The credit bureaus wrote me be stating that the information was verified. But how can it be verified when they did not follow proper procedure according to the law? They did not provide me with what reasonable procedures they used to verify these accounts. 15 U.S CODE 1681e ( a ) Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of 15 U.S CODE 1681 ( b ) PERMISSIBLE PURPOSE OF CONSUMER REPORT. ( b ) Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report, it shall follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum accuracy. It's very clear the credit bureaus are using my private information at my expense by damaging my consumer credit report and credit worthiness for their own financial gains with the data furnishers who they have special business interests with and neglecting I, the consumer who they are lawfully obligated to deal with in a manner that is fair and equitable.

I, hereby demand the removal of the previously mentioned accounts from my consumer report effective IMMEDIATELY. and a { XXXX } fine for every violation of unauthorized information on my report since I first contacted the bureaus on XX/XX/2022 pursuant to U.S.C 1681n- Civil liability for willful noncompliance ).
