I did not receive the goods and or services from the company as promised and filed a dispute with American Express on XX/XX/XXXX. On the next day, my dispute was closed and the reason given was because I did not dispute the charge within 60 days after the purchase. I immediately contacted American Express and they reopened the case and I submitted multiple documents. The very next day on XX/XX/XXXX, the dispute was closed for the exact same reason. I again, reopened the dispute, this time online and then called in on XX/XX/XXXX because American Express needed more information. I provided the needed information and later on in the day, I received a message that the dispute was closed for the same 60 day reason again. I tried speaking to American Express 's online chat and did not get anywhere. They refuse to investigate the dispute.

Complaint narrative:
I opened a business checking account with Citi Bank on XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CA XXXX to receive a promotional bonus of {$700.00} for depositing {$25000.00} and maintaining the balance for agreed timeline. See attached flyer. My wife and I both opened the same type of account and neither one of us received the bonus, a total of {$1400.00}. My wife submitted a complaint with you moments ago. I too called and emailed XXXX XXXX at the branch, but I haven't heard back from her or anyone at the branch. The customer service line could not help me either. I have met all required qualifications and confirmed with the banker XXXX XXXX to keep a balance of minimum {$5000.00} until the bonus is paid. It's been our practice that my wife would contact XXXX for both of our accounts. With that, I left a balance of {$5000.00} to avoid monthly maintenance fee. See attached email that my wife received from XXXX regarding that. The bonus was due by the end of XX/XX/2023. My last contact to Citi was XX/XX/2023. I haven't heard back from anyone. We moved out of state and can not visit the branch as easily as we could before.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Ive made payment arrangements as I had financial issues and made my payments. Later I found out I was reported to the credit bureau without my knowledge as I was making my payments. I tried to talk to them to remove it and their response was, whats done is done. I never gave my consent to the report as I was making my payments. 

The Act ( Title VI of the Consumer Credit Protection Act ) protects information collected by consumer reporting agencies such as credit bureaus, medical information companies and tenant screening services. Information in a consumer report can not be provided to anyone who does not have a purpose specified in the Act. Companies that provide information to consumer reporting agencies also have specific legal obligations, including the duty to investigate disputed information. In addition, users of the information for credit, insurance, or employment purposes must notify the consumer when an adverse action is taken on the basis of such reports. The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act added many provisions to this Act primarily relating to record accuracy and identity theft. The Dodd-Frank Act transferred to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau most of the rulemaking responsibilities added to this Act by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act and the Credit CARD Act, but the Commission retains all its enforcement authority.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion failed to comply with 15 USC 1681s-2 ( b ). TransUnion is civilly liable under 15 USC 1681 ( n ) ( i ) On XX/XX/XXXX a dispute letter was sent due to inaccurate information being reported and a reinvestigation of the claimed verified information from the furnisher. 

TransUnion failed to conduct a reasonable procedure by their own industry standard of Metro 2. TransUnion failed the Metro 2 standard requirement to report the full DOFD a ECOA requirement code -37 which is a violation of code. ECOA requires the date of first delinquency to report the month/date/year, not just the month and year as being reported. 

TransUnion failed to report the account type as credit card code 18. The account type being reported as charge off/collection which is not an account type. TransUnion failed to report consecutive 24 months of payment history. Failing to report XX/XX/XXXX presents willful noncompliance. 
In conclusion, TransUnion has failed to conduct a reasonable investigation as required per 15 USC 1681s-2 ( b ) Due to your inaccurate reporting and failure to comply with 15 USC 1681s-2 ( b ), I received damages and harm due with a recent denial for a home loan. Because I was not able to secure a home loan, my family and I moved to temporary housing until I was able to secure permanent housing. My family and I also suffered a loss of days at work and school, moving expenses and losses of utility transfer fees and deposits.

Therefore under 15 USC 1681n TransUnion is liable for actual damages, {$1000.00} violation and punitive damages.
