Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Congressional findings and statement of purpose : ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

CapitalOne Violated my rights as a protected consumer. They have done this by providing inaccurate information to the credit reporting agencies. In the past I have disputed this with the bureaus and they again have deliberately reported inaccurate information. The High balance, Date of last activity, date reported, date opened last payment all vary between the three Bureaus : XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. They are also reporting that this account is closed. Being that the account is closed, per law, there shouldn't be a past due amount as past due amounts are only applicable to open accounts.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Ive been a Citibank customer for over 2 years and keep a personal checking account and multiple business accounts with Citibank. I visit the XXXX XXXX XXXX branch on a weekly basis and everyone there knows me on a first name basis. Ive had millions in deposits and withdrawals over this time period. On XX/XX/2022. Citibank blocked and closed my Checking Account Number : XXXX and sent me the following letter : Dear XXXX XXXX, We periodically review customer accounts to assess the suitability of their banking relationship with Citibank. Pursuant to a recent review, it has been determined that we can no longer service your account ending XXXX. 

Based on this decision, we have taken steps to terminate your banking relationship ( s ) with Citibank, pursuant to the terms of the Citibank XXXX XXXX XXXX Accounts. Your account ( s ) are not restricted from any debits and certain credits ( including debit card purchases ) and will be closed within XXXX days from the date of this letter. 

There is a balance of XXXX in the account. 

I was originally told 15 days in branch and by the representative when I called the customer service hotline that day. Its now been more then 15 days since XX/XX/2022. I can not wait 60 days for the return of my funds and would like Citibank to immediately close my account down and issue me the cashiers check and formally file a complaint about this. 

Why is Citibank holding my money for 60 days?? The original timeline of 15 Days was annoying but acceptable. 60 Days is absolutely unacceptable and criminal. Im probably not the only person this is happening to and Citibank is probably making tens of millions of dollars holding the funds from blocked accounts set for closure for 60 days. 

I implore the OCC to please reach out to Citibank on my behalf and help resolve this issue to get Citibank to immediately close down my account and allow me to pick up my funds in a cashiers check in branch or have the check mailed to my address without any further delays. 

All the best, XXXX XXXX

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In 2018 My wife bought a XXXX XXXX and had never bought a car before. The sticker price was XXXX and when she walked out of the dealership she owed XXXX. She had no clue until I looked at it 3 years later. She was charged for gap insurance, and an XXXX warranty and the tire insurance and its funny cause it seems like the dealership, " XXXX XXXX and Ally financial made around XXXX each. And she even put down XXXX bucks down payment which didn't drop the price at all. Well when we had a problem with the engine we ended up having to pay XXXX bucks cause XXXX warranty didn't cover the cost. What we had done would have costed XXXX bucks to fix so it was like we paid XXXX bucks for the warranty XXXX for gap ins and I think XXXX for the tire insurance we never used and with the high interest rate and 6 year loan m, I added it up and Ally and the dealership made over XXXX each. So what. To buy a car, I have to pay for it twice if we don't have great credit. That seems XXXX  to me. The rich get everything cheap and the middle class has to pay double. But the kicker is, my wife had no idea she had the gap ins and tire ins snd the extended warranty added. She sd the lady was talking extremely fast and my wife didn't understand that she was going to end up paying XXXX times what the sticker was. We owe like XXXX pr XXXX and if we hadn't had all yhst we'd have paid it off already. I'd like to know if the cfpb recognizes that this was intentional and why couldn't my wife speak with Ally financial, and as her lender shouldn't they he protecting her from the dealership raising the price of the car XXXX tines. You'd think they'd want us to pay the loan back. Or at least say something XXXX hey XXXX XXXX, you realize you're getting a loan for XXXX and the price I'd the car is XXXX. But no. They want as much money as possible just like the dealership.
