Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: SIMMONS FIRST NATIONAL CORPORATION
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I was in the process of trying to close out a bank account last year, there were a few small recurring charges that I missed, I think all of them were under {$50.00}. Simmons bank charged me three overdraft charges in one month that totaled up to {$100.00}. I paid the overage and had to leave the overdraft fees sit. I am on a fixed income XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. There was no activity on the account since XXXX. I received a refund on my escrow and it was deposited into Simmons bank. They took the deposit, removed their fees and canceled the account. I did not mind them taking the fees but then this happened. I was inside the XXXX branch inquiring about my card being denied at XXXX. They informed me that They closed the account and would send me a cashiers check for the remainder of the deposit. They could have printed me a check and cashed it right there in the branch but they said it would have to be mailed from the main office. 

I feel like I have been XXXX XXXX XXXX. They should not be treating people this way. I was a customer from the sale of XXXX bank since XXXX or so. This deposit was a escrow refund in excess of {$600.00} and was needed for bills that will accrue late charges while I wait for them to get around to mailing my check. 

They should have released my funds as soon as I was in the bank lobby to claim them.

Complaint narrative:
To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting! This has caused me multiple denials and mental anguish that I can't even stand. I will not tolerate this anymore and will seek litigation if this is not handled!

This is one of my multiple attempts to notify credit bureaus that I am a victim of identity theft and that I want to query certain records in my documents that resulted from the crime. The documents I'm looking at have nothing to do with any transactions involving goods, services, or money that I've made or approved. Assuming no one cares, remove any material in my credit report that was obtained through alleged fraud or extortion.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
several fraudulent accounts were opened in my name without my authorization, including accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$870.00} ), XXXX XXXX ( {$2200.00} ), XXXX XXXX XXXX, and others. I promptly disputed these accounts with Equifax, providing supporting documents to prove the fraud. Despite my efforts, Equifax conducted what I believe to be a sham investigation, failing to remove these fraudulent items from my credit report. 

Additionally, Equifax has a history of mishandling credit reports, as evidenced by the XXXX  coding error that affected millions of credit scores. My case appears to have been mishandled in a similar way, as Equifax did not thoroughly investigate or resolve the issues despite clear evidence of fraud. 

I have also learned that the companies involved in these fraudulent accounts have a record of regulatory violations : XXXX XXXX XXXX was fined {$24.00} XXXX by the CFPB for illegal debt collection practices. 
XXXX and XXXX XXXX were fined {$89.00} XXXX for mishandling transaction disputes and misleading consumers about interest-free payments. 
XXXX XXXX was ordered to pay {$3.00} XXXX for widespread mismanagement of auto loans, wrongful repossessions, and misapplied payments. 

I have made multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly, but Equifax continues to report these fraudulent accounts, which has negatively affected my credit score and financial standing. I am requesting that all fraudulent accounts be permanently removed from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I am to formally express my concerns regarding XXXX handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving user vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumers safety.

Complaint narrative:
I am responding to your letter regarding an Home Depot Consumer Credit Card account ending in XXXX. I want to assert my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and other applicable consumer protection laws. 

First, your letter states that the account was placed with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, for collection. However, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX has already sued me in XXXX XXXX XXXX and lost. As a result, any further attempts to collect this debt may be considered a violation of the FDCPA, including but not limited to harassment and misrepresentation of the legal status of the debt. Second, under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), information reported to consumer reporting agencies must be accurate and complete. You claim to have verified the accuracy of the information, yet you also acknowledge repeated disputes. If you continue to report inaccurate or unverifiable information to the credit bureaus, this may constitute a willful violation of the FCRA, subjecting Citibank to liability for damages. I request that you conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of the information being reported, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i. IM REQUESTING THAT NO FALSE INACCURATE STATEMENTS TO BE PLACED ON MY CREDIT REPORT Additionally, under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ), I have the right to request verification of charges and challenge any billing errors. I demand full validation of the alleged balance, including a breakdown of all charges, fees, interest, and payments applied to this account. 

Given that XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX has already litigated this matter and failed to collect, I expect that Citibank will cease all further collection activities. If Citibank or any affiliated collection agency continues to pursue this debt in violation of consumer protection laws, I will not hesitate to take appropriate legal action, including filing complaints with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my states Attorney Generals office. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Complaint narrative:
There is an item that shows up from two of the credit bureaus. It is a large line of credit on a credit card, about half my annual salary. When I inquired, I was told that I was an authorized user on the account. The problem is that I dont even know who the card holder was, and I have no way to contact them. A letter from Citibank, which has the account, tells me to call a number which is automated in order to reach someone. This would require me to be privy to information I never had, including a PIN number and a social security number. So I have no way to reach the cardholder and ask that I be removed as an authorized user, and I do not have the card, so have no way to use the card anyway, and I have no identifying information to get through to customer service to request further action.
