Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Bounced checks or returned payments
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to seek urgent assistance regarding an issue with my account. I received XXXX different direct deposit totaling {$500.00} from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which I promptly reported as an error to Citibank. I called Citibank and reported the first deposit of {$330.00} as fraud. Then the XXXX XXXX XXXX contacted me and advised me they were a real company and it was sent in error. I also informed Citibank that I would be returning the funds to the sender, which I did. 

However, the following week, my account was over drafted by {$330.00} due to Citibank placing a fraud claim on the {$330.00} deposit, resulting in an overdraft of my account. I have provided Citibank with screenshots of my communication with the sender and a call log of my conversations with Citibank representatives. 

Despite following Citibanks guidance and providing all requested documentation, I have not received any assistance or resolution regarding this matter. I kindly request your urgent intervention to address this issue and correct the overdraft. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and a swift resolution.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Unable to open an account
Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I recently tried to open a checking account at XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) twice and at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX ) once, but both banks denied my application. During my first time at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, the banker returned me a printed letter explaining that they couldn't approve my application due to negative records shown in my Early Warning Service consumer report. As a result, I ordered a free copy of my consumer report from Early Warning Services on XX/XX/XXXX. Basically, this negative record was about the " Closed for Cause/Purge '' status of my previous XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX checking account because I didn't follow their bank policies. After sending all my supporting documents ( also attached below ) to dispute with both Early Warning Services and XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Fraud Department and proving that what actually happened to me was a check scam, I'm pretty sure this negative record has now been removed from my consumer report. Then, I tried to open a checking account at XXXXXXXX XXXX for the second time on XX/XX/XXXX, but the banker there denied my application again without clarifying the specific reason. I further tried to open a checking account at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  online on XX/XX/XXXX, but I was rejected again. This time, they sent me an email clearly explaining why my online application was not approved, which is because of a higher-risk Early Warning deposit score ( XXXX ) with major impact factors included. However, given that my previous negative record should have been removed, this explanation still doesn't make any sense to me because all my present checking accounts are on a very good track without violating any bank policy. I hope XXXX XXXX can explain in more detail why they denied my second application. I also wish Early Warning Services could explain in more detail why my deposit score is so high, how to lower my deposit score, and when I can apply for a checking account in any of the seven banks that own Early Warning Services.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of an inaccurate bankruptcy entry on my credit report. Despite multiple requests, the credit bureau has failed to provide satisfactory evidence or documentation validating the accuracy of this disputed item. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), this validation is required, and sufficient time has passed without compliance. 

In my original complaint, I attached XXXX letters from reputable sourcesLexisNexis and the bankruptcy courtboth clearly stating that they did not provide this information to the credit bureau. Furthermore, XXXX confirmed the deletion of this erroneous data from their system. The bankruptcy court explicitly stated they did not furnish the information to the credit bureau. 

Given the lack of validation within the statutory period and the compelling evidence of inaccuracy, I demand the immediate removal of this bankruptcy item from my credit report in accordance with FCRA guidelines. 

The continued presence of this incorrect information has had severe financial and emotional repercussions, including the loss of job opportunities.
