Consumer complaint received 2023-08-07
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint:
I write this letter with deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the responses provided by XXXX, Experian, and XXXX to my complaint. It is distressing to note that all three credit bureaus have failed to address the central issue raised in my initial complaint, revealing a lack of accountability and transparency in handling consumer complaints. 

As stated in my original complaint on XX/XX/2023, the core concern lies in XXXX XXXX XXXX  's failure to respond to a Debt Validation request within the mandated 30-day period. The supporting evidence of a certified mail receipt unequivocally proves the mailing and receipt of the validation letter. However, the credit bureaus ' responses exhibit a dismissive attitude towards this crucial matter, evading any meaningful acknowledgment of XXXX XXXX 's untimely response. 

I must express my strong disapproval of such responses, which not only demonstrate a lack of diligence and adherence to an unbiased investigation but also undermine the integrity of the credit reporting process. Consumers deserve proper and transparent handling of complaints, especially when it comes to issues that impact their financial well-being. 

In light of this, I demand that the response to my complaint be submitted on the public portal accessible to all consumers. This measure is crucial to prevent the credit bureaus from concealing their inadequate handling of complaints by mailing the response instead of posting it on the portal and to hold them accountable for their actions. 

Transparency and accountability are essential pillars in fostering trust between consumers and credit bureaus. By publicly acknowledging and rectifying the shortcomings in handling my complaint, you will demonstrate a commitment to improving your services and upholding fair practices. 

I expect this matter to be promptly addressed since the inadequacy of their responses to the XX/XX/2023 complaint should not be counted against me. The delay tactics should not be encouraged by allowing even more time after an inadequate response. Furthermore, all responses should be posted on the portal in addition to the mail. But mailing the response should not be a substitute for posting the results on the portal. 

Please be advised that should there be any further failure to address my concerns transparently and adequately, I will not hesitate to escalate this matter to relevant regulatory authorities and consumer advocacy groups up to and including legal action. 

Your immediate attention to this issue is expected and appreciated.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint:
After having received 3 emails from Capital One to apply for a credit card that was ideal for my Score, i applied on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, i was denied a credit card without explanation. I did a research and found out that Capital One is on of the credit card Companies that Discriminates against Non XXXX  Americans and especially XXXX   like myself, plus is Misleading and Dishonest on the explanation given after they decline the application. Since i didn't received an explanation from Capital One i called Capital One after every time i applied but their representatives were Rude and Misleading of to why my application was denied. It seems like another Crooked and Fraudulent Wall Street Company who does business without any respect of the " Weak Consumer Laws '', not to mention that Capital One Defrauds credit card holders with their Sky high interest rates 25 % -30 % and fees while borrowing money from the Government with 0 %. After all that's why Capital One and other Financial Companies Bribe Politicians so they will Defraud consumers with Immunity. It would have been better to do business with Mafia than with Companies like Capital One, etc.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2019 I pre-authorized check # XXXX in the amount of {$300.00} from my Bluebird account, payable to my landlady. She deposited the check on XX/XX/2019. I received notification via email as follows ; Your Bluebird check was paid on XX/XX/2019. The check details are listed below. 
Pre-authorization Date : XX/XX/2019 Expiration Date : XX/XX/2019 Check Number : XXXX Check Amount : XXXX. 
Followed by another notification via email as follows ; We are writing to let you know that we were unable to honor Bluebird Check XXXX for {$300.00}. 
I called Bluebird customer service to clarify this as my check for {$300.00} was duly pre- authorized and funds taken from my account and was told, in essence, that this was a " system glitch '' they were working to correct and the funds would be returned to my landlady 's account. Her bank had " bounced '' the check by XX/XX/2019 and charged her a {$12.00} fee. The amount of {$300.00} was subsequently returned to my Bluebird account instead of to my landlady 's. I had to retrieve the {$300.00} plus {$12.00} fee cash from my account as she would no longer take a Bluebird check. In addition to the inconvenience and embarrassment of my rent check bounce I had to reimburse {$12.00}. All because of a " system glitch '' by Bluebird. I need them to at least, reimburse me that {$12.00} fee charged by my landlady

Company: U.S. BANCORP

Complaint:
After the COVID-19 pandemic, PA Unemployment issued monetary assistance ( PUA ). This was issued in the form of a debit card ( USBank Reliacard ) managed by US Bank. The card was functioning until XX/XX/XXXX when my account was flagged for fraudulent activity. I was not notified nor did their app/website have any useful information on what to do. My first few attempts to contact costumer service the number on the back of my card would fail every time, after doing research I finally found a number that I could get through to someone. They explained they just needed me to upload documents to verify who I am. After uploading my Social Security Card and State Issued ID to their website and waiting 48hrs ( which is how long they told me it would take to verify my identity ). After waiting the 2days I called back and was informed that my since the billing address on my ID was old I would also need to upload verification of my current address, and so I did and waiting another 48hrs. Upon calling again I was told that they could not view my documents because the file was not in PDF So in order for them to view my documents I needed to re submit my documents as a PDF file instead. Again after 48hrs I called back. This time finding out that I needed to Fax my documents. At this point in time multiple bills I had connected with my Relicard have been declined, I have XXXX XXXX   in which I take care of in need of food, school supplies, and basic essentials. After once again waiting another 48hrs I called back and all I was told is that there was no message for them to unlock my account and that I needed to wait 4-5 business days. When I heard this information I asked to speak to a supervisor who said that he can put in for my account to be viewed faster. Now it is XX/XX/XXXX, costumer Service has been no help, the Supervisor has been no help. There is no email for Reliacard and no other way to contact anyone who could possibly help and/give me information as to why this has happened. USBank has stolen my money, gave false Guarantees and put me and the 2 children I care for in a situation were we can not get access to basic human needs for nearly a month now, during the COVID19 Pandemic.

Complaint:
I, XXXX XXXX, consumer and natural person, am aware of all the rights that I have, and which are protected by The Congress under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. XXXX XXXX has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. As a reporting agency that has assumed the role of assembling and reporting information on consumers such as myself, the FCRA requires that it is done so in a manner that is fair and equitable. XXXX XXXX illegally obtained personal and private information and sold it to other reporting agencies, including XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion. I did NOT grant XXXX XXXX permissible purpose to obtain the information and report it, nor did the debtor. I have not been notified that this information is being provided to the highest bidders. 

As the consumer and natural person, I am invoking specified remedy and make the following demands : Cease and desist reporting of the account name filings to all consumer reporting agencies. 
Remove reporting of the account name filings from all consumer reporting agencies. 

Ignoring this Cease and Desist will be evidence that the infringements were willing, deceptive, and in violation of the FCRA. 

I have tried fixing it with credit bureaus several times. PLEASE DELETE

Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Don't agree with fees charged
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

Complaint:
My name is XXXX XXXX. XXXX held XXXX student loans of mine, XXXX part with the Dept of Ed and the other part commercial loans. I consolidated my loans with a new plan offered by Citizens Bank, and managed by XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 

Despite me giving Citizens Bank the proper XXXX addresses to send payoff checks to XXXX, they sent all the funds to the Department of Education, an error they have acknowledged. The time to correct this issue was lengthy, roughly 4 weeks. My first payment was due to XXXX XXXX on XXXX. However, Citizens Bank had not completed the corrective action to receive excess funds from Dept of Ed, and write new check to XXXX commercial side. 

XXXX put my loan in an administrative forbearance to allow more time to finish the payoff process with XXXX. However, I asked them to assist me with the interest accruing on my new loan, and they refused! In spite of their acknowledged error, and the fact that I was still making payment to XXXX. My customer service rep at Citizens Bank, XXXX XXXX, remarked to me on the phone that he believed I should n't have to pay the accrued interest, as did the customer service rep from XXXX XXXX that we had a conference call with. 

The new loan amount is {$45000.00}, when the note was for {$44000.00}, a difference of {$330.00}. This is unfair and I think the DoE should be aware of this given this is a new consolidation product being offered and not only are they making mistakes with large amounts of money, but they are now abusing consumers.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with fees charged
Company: BANK OF THE WEST

Complaint:
I purchased a motorhome from an individual through Bank of the West at the end of XX/XX/2022 first of XX/XX/2022. Bank of the West never processed the transfer of title and registration paperwork thus causing the registration to expire and the title to remain in the previous owners name. Since the registration is currently expired I am unable to move or use the motorhome. I have called numerous times over the past 8 months and each time I call I get a different excuse. I requested to speak with someone higher up at the bank and was told there were no phone numbers and departments usually communicated by email. They advised I write a letter expressing my displeasure. At one point I was told the delay was caused by the bank requesting paperwork from the original owner before my loan was actually funded so when the paperwork was received it had nowhere to go so the bank basically lost it. Instead of someone from the bank contacting me to let me know there was a problem I was notified by the original owner. Ive been told they needed to request a duplicate title, they needed a new power of attorney, they needed approval to pay the late fees with the DMV, and they could not do anything more until the issues they created were rectified. I have been making a payment on this motorhome for almost a year and have been unable to use it. This is costing upwards of {$1200.00} a month for something I am unable to use. This doesnt include the insurance I had to take out before I even took possession of the motorhome because it was a Bank of the West rule for funding the loan. I did receive some duplicate paperwork for myself and the original owner over 2 months ago that I went ahead and completed and was told by the original owner they completed and returned as well. I still cant get an update from the bank on when this situation will be resolved. I have been on a waiting list for a storage spot at the military installation where I work and was finally called about an open spot but was told I could not accept the spot because I didnt have current registration. The spots on base are substantially cheaper than other storage locations so Ive been forced to pay twice as much for a storage spot because Im unable to move the motorhome. The base did agree to hold the spot if I paid for it. In order to not miss out on the available spot, which is also closer to my home, I had to pay for it. Not only am I paying for the motorhome I cant use but Im paying for 2 storage spots and insurance on a vehicle that legally is still not mine and I cant legally operate. To date the motorhome is still registered to the previous owner and I have been given no timeframe for resolution.
