Consumer complaint received 2023-01-24 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Fifth Third Bank on XX/XX/XXXX put my bank account into closure for " risk mitigation ''. At this moment in time I was running a campaign across the country in XXXX XXXX California. 
I was able to take money out the ATM through a tedious process until XX/XX/XXXX, they lied and said my bank card was deactivated and I could no longer take money out the ATM. 

Their decision to do this forced me to not be able to continue running my campaign and paying my contractors. 

This also forced me and my team into homelessness because we had no access to money unless we went into a fifth Third Bank which is nowhere close to XXXX XXXX CA. 

On XX/XX/XXXX fifth third bank sent a cashier 's check to my home in north Carolina that was the final amount in my account. 

I borrowed money from my family in order to make it back home. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I took the check to a fifth third bank in XXXX north Carolina and they refused to cash it, even though it was a fifth third cashier 's check. They told me I could sign it over to my aunt and they would allow it to be cashed, then the teller at the branch refused to cash it. 

We then took the check to the local credit union to cash, in my aunt 's account because I had already signed it over to her, which fifth third bank refused to honor because I did not verify who I was before the check could get verified and put my aunt 's account into negative {$2500.00} I then continued my mobile deposit on XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and while on the phone with them verified myself and the check and fifth third bank honored the check. 

Then on XX/XX/XXXX, that following Friday fifth third sent an email to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to not honor the check which put my account in the negative {$1600.00}.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
I opened a bank account at Citibank ( branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ) in XXXX. On or about XX/XX/XXXX I tried to make a wire transfer via Citibank website, something that I used to do normally, but Citibank system did not complete the transaction -- a message popped up on my screen asking me to call the bank. 
Following the message, I called Citibank. The representative who asnwered the call said that she could not allow the transaction and would have to block bank account (! ). I was quite surprised, especially because she did not informed the reason why my bank account had to be blocked- she just said " its for securuty reasons '' and that within XXXX hours they would call me. Needless to say, nobody from Citibank ever called. Since XX/XX/XXXX I have been tryhing to understanding what is going, but all representatives that I spoke with up until today could not explain. I DO NOT KNOW WHATELSE TO DO. I do not manage to gain access to my bank account by the website, my bank account has my money and I am unable to make any transfer or payment. I have tried several times to understand what is going on, but nobody at Citibank is doing anything to resolve my problem. I sent a message to XXXX XXXX, the manager of my bank account on XX/XX/XXXX asking for help, but he did even answered it yet. 
This conduct is abusive and arbitrary. Shame on Citibank and its employees. 
Please help.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I had XXXX returned payments because my bank account was frozen and closed due to fraudulent activity from a different card. {$4000.00} was stolen from the bank account that I usually use to make my Amex payments. I informed Amex about the situation and they told me its okay just make payment from different bank account. Considering I have XXXX bank accounts I did and my payments were up to date. I always pay on time and pay off my cards before the end of billing cycle. I had another returned payment because I chose the wrong bank account and I asked Amex to stop trying to take the money out of the account XXXX times. I told them that bank account is the wrong account and I dont use the account and to cancel the payment since I realized my mistake before and made the payment right away with my different account. Amex then told me they need to verify funds from a different bank account which we did. I had sufficient money in there and they unblocked my card. After multiple times of telling them to stop trying to take money from the wrong bank account they did not and kept trying and trying. My Amex card balance is currently XXXX. They actually owe ME money. On top of that I just paid my {$690.00} membership fee which they informed me I might not even get back which is theft, I just paid them {$690.00} for membership and they then close my account? Seems kind of fraudulent to me. They then took {$1200.00} worth of points from me as well. I have been a member with Amex since 2017 I believe starting with XXXX Amex and then gold Amex and platinum. I have paid on time always and never missed a payment. What they are doing is fraudulent and I either would like my platinum card reinstated as well as my gold card or my membership fees back for both cards since they didnt even allow me to finish my year of membership with my gold card. Thats {$250.00} in membership fee for gold card and {$690.00} for platinum. Plus I would like my balance sent to me in form of check. I really would rather have my card reinstated and my points back but if not this is theft.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, letters were sent to each credit bureau reporting agency requesting they verify the accuracy and authenticity of specific negative accounts I found on my credit report. Correspondences were sent certified mail ( see attached ). 

Upon conclusion of their investigations, the inaccuracies still remained on my credit report, causing irreparable harm with my interactions with creditors in trying to obtain loans and lines of credit to start my small business and also to obtain prequalification for a mortgage to purchase my first home. 

The Credit Bureaus stated the accounts were properly investigated but how is it possible that there are still inaccuracies such as Date Opened, Date Last Active and Date Last Reported, no Payment History, and inaccurate comments. This is grounds for removal and they also violated my rights under the follow statute : 15 U.S.C. 1681 sec 602 A - States that I have a right to privacy.

15 U.S.C. Section 604 A Section 2 - States that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written permission. 

Also the credit bureaus took more than 30 days to complete their investigation see attach for certified mail tracking info.
