Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Subject : XXXX and XXXX of Investigation Transparency I am writing to report my frustration regarding the handling of fraudulent activity on my account. I have been a loyal Citibank customer for over 20 years, but the past XXXX events have caused me significant concern. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, there was a forged withdrawal of {$4600.00} at a branch in XXXX XXXX, Florida, from my joint checking account. On that same day, I was advised to close my account and open a new one. However, I could not access my new account for XXXX weeks while it was under investigation. To this day, I have not received a clear answer as to the outcome of that investigation, nor has any permanent action been taken to secure my account against future fraud. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, another fraudulent activity took place with a forged check deposit of {$6300.00} and a withdrawal of {$4500.00} from my savings account, this time in California. Despite placing a freeze on my credit, these incidents occurred, and I am deeply concerned about how these withdrawals were processed from out-of-state without proper ID verification and/or the use of a debit card. 
Given the magnitude of these events and the continued lack of transparency regarding the investigations, I request immediate clarification on the following : XXXX. How were these withdrawals processed without the proper verification ( e.g., debit card, ID, PIN )? 
XXXX. What is the outcome of both investigations, and what steps have been taken to prevent future fraud? 
XXXX. What additional security measures will Citibank put in place to protect customer accounts moving forward? 
This ongoing lack of communication and action is unacceptable. I want the public to be aware of what is going on with our banking and how Citibank is handling our money when it comes to fraud. 

Best regards, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am in the process of trying to purchase a home for the first time and i ran into some concern on my report. I am writing to formally dispute unauthorized hard inquiries that appear on my Transunion credit report. I did not authorize the following companies to access my credit file, nor did I apply for credit with them. Therefore, these inquiries are inaccurate and a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C 1681. 

The inquiries in question are : XXXX XXXX, LLC Date of Inquiry : XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX, LLC Date of Inquiry : XX/XX/year> Because I never granted permission for these inquiries, I am requesting that they be removed from my credit report immediately. These unauthorized inquiries are negatively impacting my credit score and misrepresent my credit activity. 

Please investigate these matters and remove the unauthorized inquiries from my credit file within 30 days, as required under the FCRA. Once your investigation is complete, please provide me with a written statement confirming the deletion of these inquiries. Upon request I have provided copies of my government issued ID and a recent utility bill for verification. I have filed an Identity theft report with the Federal Trade Commission and XXXX and am including a copy of this report with my dispute. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My account with 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. 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

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

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.

Complaint narrative:
When getting this loan I was not told that I should call in and pay only to the principal not the entrance. So when I was making my payments most of the payment went to the entrance and not the principal. So in XXXX when I was informed I did start calling in and paying to the principal of this loan. Although for some reason in XXXX when I called in to pay to the principal they also paid to the interest in this loan. I made XXXX payments in XXXX for XXXX and XXXX and now this company is saying that I am late on my payments in XXXX. When I made the last payment on XX/XX/XXXX I was told my next payment would not be due until XX/XX/XXXX. Although now I have a late payment on XX/XX/XXXX. I will attach proof that I have been paying on time each month and a month ahead. This company is trying to steal money from me and misinform and misguide me/ the customer.

Complaint narrative:
I have never legally gone by these personal information nor do not currently reside at the listed residence. The inclusion of inaccurate aliases and unrelated or outdated addresses not only violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) which requires credit reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy but also creates a serious risk of identity confusion and impairs my ability to obtain credit under accurate and fair conditions. The presence of such erroneous personal information also raises concerns of data mishandling, especially in light of recent national data breaches. Despite previous attempts to have this information corrected, Bureaus might have failed to remove the incorrect aliases and address entries, even though I have never used these names and do not reside at the listed locations.
