Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and XXXX XXXX, Missouri Laws Dear REGIONS BANK, I am writing to address a serious violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and identity theft fraud laws, specifically under Missouri Revised Statutes Chapter 570, Section 570.223. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that REGIONS BANK has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law, specifically Section 570.223, emphasizes the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information, underscoring the importance of protecting consumers from identity theft. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for REGIONS BANK to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that REGIONS BANK immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws under Missouri Revised Statutes Chapter 570, Section 570.223.

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that REGIONS BANK will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Payment of {$12000.00} was made out of my new loan acct. On XX/XX/XXXX. ( A loan that was procured specifically to pay off balances of Capital One cards x2. ) Payment was accepted, then rejected. This occurred on a weekend day. A second attempt was made, thinking some info was put in wrong. First thing Monday morning, I contacted BOTH institutes to fix problem. Capital One closed both credit acct., citing violation of agreement. This seriously affected my credit. I have had both acct. since XXXX, with no missed payments. I asked them to reinstate my acct. in good standing. They requested proof of ownership of acct., it was provided XX/XX/XXXX. Still awaiting response. I want acct. reinstated. Mistake was made on my part causing pymt. return. Honest mistake, was trying to pay off total balance. It is just ridiculous that a long time, in good standing, customer is treated this way, affecting my credit negatively.
