Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: Albert Corporation
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Albert Genius/ Albert App for unauthorized access and withdrawal of funds from my XXXX account ending in XXXX. 

I had previously used an older bank account with Albert. When I opened a new XXXX account, I attempted to add it to their app, but Albert would not allow me to link or verify the new XXXX account. Despite this, Albert still accessed the XXXX account without my consent or authorization and withdrew {$150.00} for a loan repayment and {$21.00} for a subscription fee. 

These were completely unauthorized transactions. I never granted Albert permission to access this new XXXX account in fact, they made it impossible to add it to their platform. That means they either : Retained account-linking permissions without consent Used outdated or illegally stored credentials Bypassed XXXX verification and security processes I contacted Albert requesting a refund, and they have not resolved the issue. They are currently delaying my refund, while continuing to debit a bank account that I was never able to authorize in the first place.

This violates Regulation E of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and raises serious concerns about data misuse, account access abuse, and financial fraud.

I am requesting that Albert be required to : Immediately refund the full {$170.00} Explain how they accessed my new bank account without permission Cease all access to my XXXX account going forward Be investigated for improper account-linking practices These actions have caused financial disruption and concern for my account

b'I am writing to formally demand that you cease and desist from reporting inaccurate, unverified, and outdated information on my credit report. This includes both personal identifying information and derogatory account data that is not in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.\nDespite previous attempts to correct my credit file, your agency continues to publish erroneous data which is harming my creditworthiness and violating my rights under FCRA 1681e(b), which mandates consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy.\nNegative Accounts to Cease Reporting ImmediatelyXXXX XXXX  Listed as Potentially Negative\n\t\tXXXX XXXX CREDIT LINE  Charged-off status\n\tXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Multiple charge-off entries\n\t\XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   Collection activity without proper creditor linkage\n\t\tXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   Negative status reporting\n\t\tXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Medical collection for XXXX  (same as XXXX\nPersonal Information to Remove Immediately:\n\t\tIncorrect Names: Any other than XXXX XXXX XXXX\n\t\tIncorrect Addresses:XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Only Valid Information:\n\t\tFull Legal Name: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXAdditional Concern: Improper Reporting of Charge-Off Accounts\n\nSeveral charge-off accounts are being reported on my credit file. These accounts are marked as charged-off, meaning the original creditors have written off the debt as a loss and most likely claimed it as a tax deduction. This makes the continued reporting and collection of these debts misleading, unethical, and damaging to my credit profile, especially when no validation has been provided.\n\nIf the debt has been written off and sold to a third-party collector, the original creditor has already been compensated through tax benefits, and therefore should not continue to report the charge-off status as if the balance remains collectible. Continued reporting in this manner is potentially deceptive and does not reflect the actual financial relationship or status of the obligation.'

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 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.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment to be updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Each time they asked me about a vehicle I did not own and have never owned, and said it was regarding an accident I was not involved in. The accident was in a state and city I have never been to.

I contacted the debt collector but they have not gotten me any information back to say it's off the books.
