Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Problem accessing account
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
My son and I have a joint account with Citizen 's Bank. It is a student checking account. On XX/XX/year> I attempted to deposit a check {$6000.00} using the mobile app on my phone. Since that time, neither my son nor I have been able to access or use the account at all. I have called multiple times. The people I spoke to would not give a reason for the account being inaccessible. In the most recent call, I was told a letter was sent to me but the 'manager ' I spoke to would not tell me the contents of the letter. 
The next day I did receive a letter in the mail stating they are delaying the available of the {$6000.00} deposit until XX/XX/year> because " Some of the information on the check is not consistent with other information on the check ''. No one that I spoke to would explain to me why the entire account was locked rather than just holding back the {$6000.00}. It is now XX/XX/year> and the account is still inaccessible with no further explanation from Citizens. I have no idea of the status of the deposit and I am unable to get funds to my son away at college.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
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. ''

I am writing to formally file a complaint against USAA Bank regarding their practice of charging overdraft fees.

Company: Selene Holdings LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was informed by the Servicer numerous times that I was in Active Loan Review for a Loan Resolution thus I would be protected from foreclosure until a decision was made. As stated in the first paragraph of the Servicers letter.

The letter clearly states : 'Therefore, we are prohibited from filing a new foreclosure action until your application is evaluated. If foreclosure proceedings have already begun on your property, we can not conduct a foreclosure sale before your application is evaluated. You also may be entitled to additional protections under State or Federal law. ' However, that was not the case. The auction continued to take place. 

I relied on their statements and what was written in their document to be truthful and honest. 

I feel like this was a modern day Land grab.
