Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( XXXX ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Wells Fargo Card Service for their failure to issue Form 1099-C ( Cancellation of Debt ) for a charged-off debt and for their inaccurate reporting of this debt to the credit bureaus. 

I have an account with Wells Fargo Card Service, with the account numbers XXXX. According to the provisions of 26 U.S. Code 61 ( a ) ( 12 ) of the Internal Revenue Code, any canceled debt of {$600.00} or more is considered taxable income and must be reported by the creditor on Form 1099-C. To date, Wells Fargo Card Service has not provided me with the required Form 1099-C for the charged-off debt on my account.

This form is critical for my tax reporting, as I am required by the IRS to report canceled debt as income. Failure to provide the 1099-C form not only complicates my tax filing but may also constitute non-compliance with federal regulations.

Additionally, I am concerned about the accuracy of Wells Fargo Card Service 's reporting of this debt to the credit bureaus. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), creditors are prohibited from reporting false or misleading information to the credit bureaus, including improperly reporting a canceled debt as income. Specifically, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) requires that any information reported to the credit bureaus be accurate, including ensuring that canceled debts are reported properly to the IRS, not to the credit bureaus as income.

I request that the CFPB investigate Wells Fargo Card Services failure to issue the required Form 1099-C and its inaccurate credit reporting practices. I would appreciate the CFPBs assistance in ensuring that Wells Fargo Card Service complies with its obligations under the tax code and credit reporting laws.

I would greatly appreciate it if the CFPB could look into this matter and assist me in resolving the issues with Wells Fargo Card Service.

Complaint narrative:
My sister and I went to the bank to close my deceased mothers checking account at the Wells Fargo branch. They would not release all the funds because they stated an annuity disbursement was posted 2 days after her death. I told them it was signed by my mother before her death and the systematic withdrawal occurred before her death. They requested I send them proof, which I provided to them. I received a notice from them today now I need a short certificate which means it has to go to probate. The account was a paid on death to the beneficiaries and the banker had the power of attorney documents and trust documents in front of him. They are still refusing to release the money without it going to probate.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX XXXX @ XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2024 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, DC XXXX Subject : Violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act by Equifax Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Equifax 's apparent violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under 15 USC 1681B , which outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports.

The law clearly states that any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances. According to 15 USC 1681B ( 2 ), a consumer report may be provided in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

Moreover, the FCRA under 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( I ) specifies exclusions from a consumer credit report. This section indicates that a " consumer report '' does not include any report containing information solely related to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report, I am the consumer provided that it complies with section 1681s-3.I am the consumer making the payments, and the person making the report is the data furnisher. This means there can not be any late payments, because late payments are Transaction 's being reported on my credit report by the data furnisher about me. That is an exclusion to what can be contained in a credit report Given these regulations Equifax has not adhered to the legal requirements set forth in the FCRA. I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter to ensure compliance and protect consumer rights and have XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX removed from my report. 

Thank you for your attention to this important issue. I look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely,

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
