Company: BBVA FINANCIAL CORPORATION (OR)

I deposited a Federal Money Order for {$290.00} into Simple Bank on XXXX XXXX, 2017. XXXX ( $ ) of the funds were available until 16 days later ( XXXX XXXX, 2017 ). 

1 ) Treat your customers fairly by treating United States Federal Money Orders, which are backed by the federal government and are normally treated the same as cash, differently than a personal check that has no federal guarantee of funds. 

2 ) Follow the federal government 's Expedited Funds Availability Act, which among other stipulations requires up to the first {$200.00} of a non- '' next-day '' checks to be made available the next day, and certainly a federal money backed by the U.S Government would qualify here. 

3 ) For the record, please state what day, exactly, did Simple Bank receive the {$290.00} from the US government, and state clearly for the record how many days between when Simple Bank received the {$290.00} from the federal government and when Simple bank released the funds to me. More than likely, Simple Bank received the funds close to two weeks before it released the funds to me. 

4 ) I have your new tagline though, so not all has been wasted : " Simple Bank! We Make Simple Complicated!

Issue: Opening an account — Unable to open an account
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (TX)

Hi, I recently tried to open a Savings account for my mother with Ally Bank. During the application, I input her SSN and other information. I answered some questions pertaining to her identity. At the end of the application, I was told that her account was under review and we would get a call back in a few days. On XX/XX/XXXX I got a call saying that Ally requested a copy of her drivers license to verify her identity. I then told them that her address is slightly different than the one listed on her DL. They then told me that was fine, but I would have to resubmit another application with the matching DL information. I did then, input her SSN, and answered all the questions again. They also gave me the fax number to submit her DL to just in case they need it for the next application. I submitted the new application and faxed in her DL on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email at XXXXXXXX XXXX stating that 'we have been trying to reach you but have been unsuccessful. ' It goes on to say to please reach out to us regarding reference number XXXX. The email came from 'XXXX at Customer Service '. As soon as I saw the email, I contacted Ally bank. I first spoke to a representative, who told me 'I do n't know because that is n't my department ' so I then asked to be transferred to that department. I was transferred to XXXX XXXX, a supervisor. 
I asked XXXX XXXX what was needed to finish the application. She read 'the notes ' that said we needed to submit a copy of the SSN card. I then informed her that we had already submitted the DL, and asked if she had used that as verification, as it is a 'valid government issued photo ID ', which is what they request in the application. She found it and then told me that regardless, they were requesting a copy of the SSN card in order to proceed with the application. I asked why they were requesting specifically it, and she simply said that she did n't know. I then asked to see if she could check with the department that made that decision so that I could get a better idea as to why specifically it was being requested. She contacted XXXX in the Applications Department. XXXX relayed to XXXX that the SSN was required. I then informed XXXX that due to the age of my mothers SSN card, it carries the words 'not to be used for identification purposes. ' After an extended hold, XXXX came back and told me that 'we are allowed to request anything because of the Patriot Act. ' I informed XXXX that is not how the Patriot Act works, you must cite specific articles in it. She said she did n't need to. I then said that under the FDIC 1020.220 'Customer Identification Programs ' and other FDIC articles, it is not even required to use a SSN to open an account, furthermore use a SSN Card for identification. She simply said 'The Patriot Act trumps all of that. ' I asked her if Ally bank abides by the FDIC regulations, and she told me that they did n't have to since the Patriot Act was enacted.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (KS)

Regarding Equifax. They are continuing to report an account as a Charge off. I have disputed this at least 6 times and have asked in writing to be provided with the accuracy of this account according to the laws and guidelines of the FRCA. They will not provide any proof of verification but continue their incorrect reporting. The company is XXXX XXXX. They have no information except a phone number to call and when I tried it says it's been disconnected. This account was originally thru XXXX XXXX. 
In XX/XX/XXXX I reported fraudulent charges made in this account, many in other countries or locations I had not been too. I worked with XXXX XXXX and continued to pay my charges off until the balance was XXXX. The last payment made was XX/XX/XXXX.  The account was closed. Both XXXX and XXXX   removed XXXX XXXX from my account as they were not the original creditor. XXXX XXXX is reporting the payments I made to XXXX XXXX, but begin reporting late from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX they reported my account current. I thought this meant that due to my dispute it would erase all late charges as the remaining amount left was due to fraudulent charges. This was not the case, they then reported it as a Charge off. They also reported that I had made a payment on XX/XX/XXXX. Again inaccurate. They have continued to report to Equifax since then that this is a charge off. Even though Equifax is aware of the situation they continue to report these inaccuracies and will not provide any proof, except to say they electronically verified, even though I asked for written proof that this is my debt, which they were unable to provide me with.

Company: DISCOVER BANK (VA)

I applied for a credit card and I was told it was under review. I called the company and was informed by a staff that all I needed was to retake the application and send in a copy of my bank statement and social security card. This was to verify my address and my social. He told me that was all I needed and then I will be approved for XXXX. I submitted the items as he told me. Yet I received a letter saying I was turned down because they could not verify my information. I asked what they could not verify as I had submitted the documents they asked for. I was told they were not COMFORTABLE with my application. I feel this is very discriminatory because I have a XXXX origin. However, I am a US citizen and should be treated fairly.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Credit Karma (TX)

I would like this to be taken very seriously as I 've been working extremely hard to clear up and clean up my credit ; Prior to my credit updated via Credit Karma, I had a XXXX via Equifax + XXXX on my XXXX, My new SECURED CC had yet to report ( The balance is less than {$33.00} ( It 's now showing {$190.00} ) ) - However I also still had a collection on my account prior to it updating. 

The final collection account was finally removed ( So I had nothing remaining in collections when it updated ) and my secured card finally showed up, somehow my XXXX dropped 25 Points to a XXXX ; and My XXXX dropped 62 Points to a XXXX. 

Keep in mind, there 's no more collections after I had a TON of collections removed etc and cleared up, Additionally I got a new CC ( Secured ) and have less than a 25 % current balance on that card. 

I was expecting my scores to skyrocket, instead they 've tumbled. WHY is this exactly, I really do n't understand, I 've done everything to clear this up and get this fixed. It does n't make any sense.

I have attached copies of the letter received from cfpb stating the misleading fraudulent delinquent account will be removed. I demand you update this information and reflect it correctly on my credit report as it should not show at all since this account was fraud and does not belong to me I demand you delete it immediately.

My mortgage company ( LoanCare , LLC ) has not paid my county taxes through my escrow account for the year XXXX.

As of today XX/XX/XXXX they still have not paid the county taxes. I reached out to the mortgage company on XX/XX/XXXX as soon as I received the tax notice. I was able to get someone on the phone and I was informed to send them a message with a picture of the tax notice. She assured me that it would be handled if I did this. I immediately followed through and sent " LoanCare , LLC '' the message with the tax notice. Since then I have tried, on many occasions, to contact customer service, but no matter what I do I am not able to get anyone on the phone. I also sent them another message on XX/XX/XXXX and informed them that I would seek further action if nothing was done. The principal balance due is {$1000.00}. The late penalty is {$100.00} and the accrued interest is {$38.00}. I am not sure what else to do at this point other than hire an attorney. Thanks

I was a victim of continuous identity theft. A vehicle was purchased in my name without my knowledge. This account is reporting TWICE on Equifax for the same amount. I have sent in all of the necessary documentation including police report, FTC affidavit, drivers license, social security card and proof of current residence. Equifax continues to report the item in duplicate as well as tell me that they will contact the creditor who always verifies that the account is mine when it is in fact not! Equifax continues to report these accounts as well as others that are not mine. The other bureaus have already rectified the issue and I have been fighting with Equifax diligently for almost 1.5 years.
