Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against [ Credit Reporting Agency Name ] for multiple violations of the Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically regarding the reporting of charged-off accounts and late payments on my credit report. I am requesting enforcement of the CFPB 's authority under 15 U.S. Code 6805 to rectify these violations.

Details of the Complaint : 1. Reporting of Charged-Off Accounts : Experian, Equifax, TransUnion has continued to report charged-off accounts on my credit report. According to the IRS, charged-off accounts are considered income, and they should not be reported as outstanding debts on a consumer 's credit report. This practice is in direct violation of 12 CFR 1016.1, which requires financial institutions to provide consumers with the option to opt out of certain information sharing practices. 
XXXX. Reporting of Late Payments : I have discovered that XXXX, Equifax, XXXX has reported late payments on my credit report. This is a clear violation of 12 CFR 1016.4, which mandates that financial institutions must provide consumers with a clear and conspicuous notice regarding their right to opt out of certain information sharing practices. The FCRA also requires credit reporting agencies to ensure the accuracy of the information they report. The reporting of late payments when no such late payments occurred is a significant breach of this requirement.

3. Failure to Comply with Opt-Out Requests : Despite my efforts to dispute and request the removal of these inaccuracies with [ Credit Reporting Agency Name ], they have failed to comply with my requests, as mandated by 12 CFR 1016.7.

I kindly request that the CFPB investigates these violations and exercises its enforcement authority under 15 U.S. Code 6805 to compel XXXX, Equifax, XXXX to delete these negative adverse accounts from my credit profile. These violations have had a detrimental impact on my creditworthiness and financial well-being. 
Enclosed with this letter are copies of my credit reports reflecting the inaccurate information, as well as any related documentation that supports my complaint. I have made every effort to resolve these issues with XXXX, Equifax, XXXX directly, but my attempts have been unsuccessful. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request your assistance in ensuring that [ Credit Reporting Agency Name ] rectifies these violations and upholds its obligations under the law.

Company: UBS BANK USA (MD)

My father passed away in XX/XX/XXXX and designated XXXX equal beneficiaries ( his XXXX children ) for his IRA : myself, my sister ( XXXX XXXX  ) and a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) for my brother. The IRA is currently valued at about {$27000.00} and varies daily with the mutual fund in which it has been invested. 

We have been requesting distribution of the IRA from the bank to the XXXX beneficiaries for XXXX months by email, phone and text. First email record was XX/XX/XXXX and the latest was yesterday. Phone calls began in XXXX and latest was XXXX days ago. We have attached a sampling of the many emails that we sent. 

There is not a single point of contact at the bank. So, each time we contact them, we get a different person who has different, confusing instructions. So far we have determined that ( according to the bank ) each of the beneficiaries must open an IRA account at the bank to receive the funds distributed from my father 's IRA. To date, XXXX IRA account has been established for me. But, the bank is not properly providing my sister with account information because she is XXXX XXXX. She has recently attempted to contact them via email multiple times, but never receives a response. They insist that she speak with them by phone, but their relay service is abysmal and has never worked correctly so my sister does not have an IRA account. 

My brother passed away in XXXX, but the IRA designated his special needs trust and the beneficiary. To date the bank has not contacted the Trust to set up the account. We have provided them with a specific contact, name, address, email and phone at the Trust but they have not followed through. So, my brothers Trust does not have an IRA account. 

So, we are stuck with a bank that clearly has no interest in our relatively small IRA account and is not cooperating with us to move forward with distribution of the funds to the beneficiaries despite many emails ( probably XXXX ) and phone calls ( about XXXX ) to attempt to resolve the issue. We would like prompt action on getting the funds distributed.

Citi is a complete mess and not helping me sort out the fraud and there is ongoing fraud with this number calling me.
