Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Complaint narrative:
It has been drawn out into the open that you are not hindering records when I sent a copy of the FTC report. Since it is a necessity by regulation 605b of the FCRA I'm sending this Complaint to assist with laying out a lawful response. In the event that you decide to not obstruct the accompanying things recorded beneath which are answering erroneously because of fraud, I will hand my archives over to my lawyer to begin a legitimate activity. It's my goal to not seek after any legitimate activity so if it's not too much trouble, comply with the law.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My bank was called Suntrust at that time. While at the XXXX FL branch to open a safety deposit box account, a representative suggested that I apply for their credit card which offered a high credit limit, zero interest and zero minimum payments for a period of time ( 15 months ). I did. I activated my card around XXXX and started to avail of the offer to save on interest. A few months later Suntrust became Truist Bank. 

After about a year I started to look at my statement to check when the promo would end. All my statements from Truist Bank said - Intro period purchase APR : 0.00 % Intro period Balance Transfer APR : 0.00 % Intro Period Ends : XX/XX/23 I expected to start being charged interest effective XX/XX/23. To my surprise, on XX/XX/23, Truist charged me a full month worth of interest ( {$150.00} ). Ive called them, at least, 4 times, each call lasting anywhere from 1-1/2 to 2 hours at the end of each I would be told ( 1 ) When I called on XX/XX/23, after a long winded discussion, the representative told me that she got sent a message and got a response from their credit card department and she was told that there was an error and it would be fixed by the next statement on XX/XX/23. 
( 2 ) When nothing happened I called again on XX/XX/23 and after being transferred from one rep to another was told that the charge would be credited. Give it 7-10 business days ( 3 ) When nothing happened I called again on XX/XX/23 just to make sure it was still being processed. The fraud rep sent me to the credit card department and was told that the charge would be waived. Give it 3-5 business days.

( 4 ) When nothing happened I called again today, XX/XX/23. This time I was told that the escalation of my issue was denied and the rep on the phone said they could no longer escalate the issue ; like that's it. 

I have tried to resolve this over the last 1-1/2 months talking to various individuals at their customer service department, their fraud department and their credit card department. After hours of explaining the situation and each representative reviewing notes from prior calls, I eventually get assurances that this situation would be fixed until my call today, XX/XX/23, where I was basically told that their higher ups have denied the request- as if I was asking for a special favor. I'm just trying to make this right. Now interest is being charged against the fraudulent interest charge of {$150.00} as it continues to sit in my account balance. 

This isnt a big amount to them but it is to me. Any assistance you can extend would be much appreciated. Thank you.
