Complaint narrative:
Re : Dispute of Charge-Off Account under the CARES Act, FCRA, and TILA Account Number:XXXX Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally file a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX for inaccurately reporting a charge-off account on my credit report. This action is inconsistent with the protections established under the CARES Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ).

CARES Act During the national emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, I applied for and was approved for a financial relief program provided by XXXX XXXX . Under the CARES Act, creditors were required to provide payment deferrals or modifications and report the accounts in a favorable status while participating in these programs. Despite complying with the terms of the program, my account was marked as charge-off, which is a violation of this law.

Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) According to the FCRA, creditors and credit reporting agencies are required to report accurate information. Reporting my account as charge-off is incorrect and unfairly damaging my credit history. I am requesting the CFPBs intervention to ensure that this error is properly investigated and that the charge-off status is removed from my credit report.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Additionally, under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to provide clear and accurate information regarding credit terms and any modifications to them. I was not properly informed by XXXX XXXX XXXX about how the relief program would impact my account or how the status of the account would be reported to the credit bureaus. This lack of transparency is a violation of my rights under TILA.

Request Therefore, I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and require XXXX XXXX XXXX to remove the charge-off status from my credit report, as the information is inaccurate. I am attaching supporting documents that show I was part of a financial relief program and that this charge-off classification is incorrect.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and trust that you will take the necessary actions to rectify this situation, protecting my rights as a consumer. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: EVERBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
Account number XXXX is a checking account for XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

The bank refuses to release my money and/or give me a reason as to why there is a " fraud '' investigation ongoing. In fact, they will not let me communicate with their fraud department, only stating the fraud department will call me back, which they never do.

All I did was open a new account a few weeks ago. Due to the fact I did not know there would be a hold, a check bounced. I got information today my account was now available but when I tried to make a XXXX food purchase it was declined. 

Everbank refuses to let me speak with anybody other than a customer service representative that will only tell me they are sorry and somebody will call me back. The funds have long cleared and I was not even trying to make anything other than a {$10.00} purchase.

When I called the customer service number, which I recorded, it states I have " AN AVAILABLE BALANCE '' in excess of {$3400.00} This bank is not only refusing to provide me with my lawful funds, they refuse to even communicate with me about the matter, other than through a customer service representative that can't even give me a contact name.

NO funds have been made available to me.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, a Wells Fargo rep called me to schedule a mediation session for the XXXX outstanding claims related to XXXX  Identity Theft products they erroneously added to my checking account between the years of XXXX. 

I asked the rep if I would be receiving a pre-mediation offer, like all the other consumers and she said I was not eligible for the offer because I previously went through mediation. 

This is unlawful. I am entitled to the pre-mediation offer as it is a vital part of the Customer Remediation program. Wells Fargo is attempting to lowball me and violate my rights by denying me a pre-mediation offer as they did with the previous claims.

Consumer complaint received 2024-10-10 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Over a year ago I opened up a savings account with Citizens Bank which was set to hold a security deposit for my home that I rent out. As such, there was not going to be any funds going in or out of the account once the account was opened and contained the {$1500.00} deposit. The agents knew that when I set up the account.

There were no issues with my account until XX/XX/XXXX, at which point Citizens began charging me what they considered to be a dormant '' account fee. This is not something that was outlined in any of the documents I signed when I set up the account, nor was it something that was ever discussed with me or agreed to up front. The first fee was {$10.00}. Then, Citizens proceeded to charge me {$5.00} every month thereafter from XXXX. This amounted to a total charge for fees of {$45.00}.

I did not realize the company was charging me these fees until XX/XX/XXXX, since this account does not have activity as it holds a security deposit only. At which point I called, spoke with a representative of Citizens and advised them that this was a security deposit account, and that I could not comingle funds or add funds or remove funds to the account due to the legalities of doing the same. At that point they reimbursed me the {$45.00} I had been charged to date, looked into the account as to how it was set up, and assured me my problem would be resolved.

Thereafter, Citizens continued charging me monthly fees from XXXX. for a total amount of {$15.00} I called back again on XX/XX/XXXX, spoke with a supervisor at Citizens, and was again apologized to, and advised I would be reimbursed the fees. I advised then that I would be withdrawing my money and closing the account ; which I did.

In looking over the reimbursement, I now see that Citizens failed to reimburse me in full and only reimbursed {$10.00} of the {$15.00} they owed me. I called them to rectify the situation and was advised that they would " note my dissatisfaction, but there was nothing they could do ''. I want my {$5.00} back, as they previously agreed to do, prior to the closing of my account.
