Company: CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION, THE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Having no other option, due to my complaint about my credit union to this organization leading to their retaliating against me using the XXXXXXXX XXXX thus preventing me from obtaining a new checking account anywhere but Chime which has a XXXX limit on mobile deposit ( the check the employer provided was for XXXX ), I had to cash a check from my new employer with Charles Schwab with whom I have some checking accounts I have not accessed in years. I cash the check with XXXX 's mobile deposit, it goes through and I open a new account with an attached VISA card as the funds were intended to purchase equipment necessary to do the job itself. Now I can not access the account at all, the login says that access has been suspended and upon calling XXXX I was told they couldn't tell why access had been suspended. 

I have also filed a FINRA complaint, assuming you'll simply tell me to do that regardless and being on the cusp of homelessness and needing to start employment promptly, I would prefer the matter to be solved as promptly as possible.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I opened a dispute with Experian about my student loan from the Department of Education. This Loan was Opened on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of XXXX. 

I made a dispute with Experian in XXXX about having the account removed but was unsuccessful. In XXXX of XXXX, the account was refinanced - along with other student loans- into a new account. However, the US DOE Reported that the Account was in Collections in XXXX of XXXX, which was completely false. In addition to the false report, it has been well over 7 Years from the Opening date, and should no longer appear on my credit report. This is having a negative impact on my score which is unfair being that the account has a false report, and is very old. I tried to submit a XXXX dispute with Experian on XX/XX/XXXX, but Experian denied to request because I made a prior dispute. This is unfair and damaging to my credit report. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act prohibits Credit reporting agencies are obliged to delete inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information.The Fair Credit Reporting Act prohibits background screening firms from reporting any arrest record or adverse non-conviction information older than seven years.

Complaint narrative:
The unverified account indicated below continue to report on my credit report despite several written requests, in violation of federal law. I dated the previous letter I sent to the Transunion credit bureaus, but I never received a response. Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) require this account to be authenticated ( A ). I will take legal action against you if you do not validate this account. Please follow the law so that this situation can be settled quickly. 
I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to update the account. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not update the account because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the dispute letter they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the dispute letter ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ), as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients. TransUnion shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first 5 digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information. If the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a my file at TransUnon is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a creditor, the Bureaus shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from my file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or creditor. So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy...
