Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: Relay Financial (US), Corp.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I opened a business account, the end of XXXX with Relay financial for my XXXX XXXX XXXX My mother did a transfer from her bank account for {$50.00} to my Relay account. This apparently flagged my account and they froze my account. I was told that my mother would have to send the verification of her bank account showing that she was the owner of this account or She could have the funds deducted from my account back to her account by canceling the transfer and this would unfreeze my Relay account. I immediately did this and notified relay and they said it would take about 8 to 10 days to rectify the situation. This has been going on for over a month now and I still dont have access to my account as it is frozen. Ive asked that my account be closed and have been told that it is closed and I would receive the funds from my account in 8 to 10 days. However, this has been over a month and apparently my account is still open and frozen. Relay financial has refused to close my account and issue the funds in my account and they keep giving me the same general answer when I inquire. I have sent multiple emails and can send every document I have sent them, we also tried transferring the money out, and they also canceled that. I believe this to be a fraudulent bank. Documentation to support my claim is attached ( 4 attachments )

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against American Express ( Amex ) regarding an issue with unfulfilled promotional points. Below are the details of my complaint : On XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for and was approved for the Amex Platinum card. Before applying, Amexs system confirmed that I qualified for a signup bonus, specifically XXXX points after meeting a minimum spend of {$8000.00}, as well as an additional XXXX points per XXXX  spent at restaurants. 

Upon meeting the required {$8000.00} spend threshold, I did not see the XXXX points reflected in my account, nor was I receiving the XXXX points per XXXX  spent at restaurants. Initially, when I called Amex to inquire about this issue, I was told that points could take up to 8 weeks to reflect on my account. 

After waiting the suggested period with no change, I made a second call on Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX. During this call, the agent informed me, over a recorded line, that although I had initially been approved for the promotion, it was later declined. Crucially, I was never informed about this change in status. 

Amex has a system in place to inform applicants if they qualify for a signup bonus before applying for a card. Based on this system, I was approved and began using the card with the expectation of receiving the promised rewards. Amex did not notify me that these bonus points would not be awarded, causing me to miss out on significant opportunities to earn higher returns by using alternative credit cards. 

I believe this constitutes deceptive practice and a breach of the terms that were presented to me at the time of application. I kindly request that the CFPB investigate this matter and assist in resolving it promptly. 

Thank you for your attention to this issue.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
It has come to my attention that two accounts, one with XXXX XXXX and the other with XXXX, have been fraudulently placed on my credit report without proper validation or investigation. Both accounts are marked as " charged off, '' but I strongly believe these entries are incorrect and should be removed from my credit report. I have been diligent in maintaining my financial records, and after reviewing all documents, I can confirm that I never opened or owed any account with XXXX XXXX. The only account I had with XXXX was paid off and closed successfully, with no outstanding balances. Furthermore, I have no record or knowledge of a second account under my name with XXXX. 

The absence of proper investigation into these fraudulent accounts is concerning. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), any information reported to credit agencies must be accurate and substantiated. In this case, neither company has provided adequate validation of the accounts in question. It is clear that neither XXXX XXXX nor XXXX followed the required procedures for verifying the accuracy of these accounts before they were added to my credit report. As such, I am requesting that these entries be thoroughly investigated and removed immediately due to their fraudulent nature. 

I understand that errors can occasionally occur on credit reports ; however, the failure to properly validate or investigate these accounts violates my rights as a consumer. This error has harmed my credit standing and caused significant emotional and financial distress. I am requesting immediate action to remove the fraudulent accounts from my credit history and to ensure that no further issues arise regarding these erroneous entries. Additionally, I expect both companies to work with the credit bureaus to correct this matter swiftly and provide written confirmation once the accounts have been removed.
