Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because my credit applications keep getting denied, even though I have a long and positive credit history with no debt or late payments. After multiple calls with different institutions, I discovered that the issue is caused by incorrect and inconsistent personal information across my credit reports, particularly with how my name appears.

I am an immigrant who legally changed my name after becoming a U.S. citizen. My current legal name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, as reflected on my government-issued Ohio drivers license. However, some financial institutions and credit bureaus still show my previous or incomplete name variations such as XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX, which has created confusion and mismatched records across the system. 

When I contacted FICO, I was informed that XXXX XXXX XXXX was reporting information under my name. I then called XXXX XXXX XXXX, and they confirmed that I do not have any accounts with them and that no records exist under my Social Security number. The same response was given by XXXX, who also said there is no account associated with my Social Security number .

I have contacted XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX directly to correct this, but the issue remains unresolved and is preventing me from opening new credit lines or being properly verified by lenders. I am currently in a state of limbo due to these reporting inconsistencies.

I am requesting the CFPBs help to coordinate with the credit reporting agencies and the financial institutions involved to verify my identity under my legal name, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and remove or correct any records that can not be verified under my current legal name and Social Security number.

XXXX  failed to comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act after I submitted a written debt validation request. 

Details : I mailed XXXX a certified debt validation letter on XX/XX/year>. Instead of validating the debt, XXXX sent me an email response stating the loan ownership has changed and that the account was sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>. 

Selling or transferring an account after a validation request is a violation of FDCPA 809 ( b ). Additionally, XXXX did not report the account as disputed by consumer as required under FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ). 

The account still appears on my XXXX  report as closed/ sold/ charged off despite my written dispute

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: HANCOCK WHITNEY BANK
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I chose to go with Hancock Whitney because they had advertised fewer overdraft fees. At first this is true then it changed. There was no discernible rhyme or reason to the fees I was getting and they were charging me {$36.00} fees for subscriptions etc that were as little as a few dollars. They were unable to explain their policy to me and brushed off my questions. I opted out of overdraft protection because they had made several unnerving errors and refused to answer my questions and it felt too risky. Now it appears they refused to honor my request. They are trying to use a technicality, saying I could only have opted out had o gone and filled out a XXXX form and sent it to them. I know this to be false because I was working with a banker and they had changed my account. 

There are numerous other practices that are reminiscent of the practices I experienced in the earlier XXXX with XXXX XXXX and I dont want to be a fraud victim again. They have patently refused to work with me and at times have been rude. I know that I have legal rights, but that doesnt seem to help when they dont care. The amount of money may seem small, but my business is going through a transition so the money they stole has caused more overdraft fees which will probably end up being a couple XXXX dollars. Even though I re-opted out they are claiming this process wont be in effect until the middle of the week which is also suspicious. The fact is, I should NEVER have to be worried about my bank committing fraud to steal money from me. This goes against their stated policy, as well as consumer protection laws and their flagrant disregard for both is nothing short of shocking. I am going to move to another bank but I want this to be taken seriously. If not for me, for all the lower income people who use them and are no doubt being robbed blind.
