Consumer complaint received 2022-02-22 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
Deposited {$50000.00} into checking account with Citibank XX/XX/XXXX via digital transfer online to receive their claim of {$750.00} reward if leaving such amount deposited for 2 months. 
Also deposited another {$45.00} from another account as well as depositing a check for {$850.00}. 
Instead of honoring their advertisement, they froze my account due to " possible fraud '' from depositing a check and have held my money hostage since. 
Not only did they finally admit to the initial {$50000.00} but they would not add the amount of the {$850.00} check deposit without confirmation from the issuer EVEN THOUGH they had already withdrawn the funds from their account. 
They where actually going to just keep that for themselves as well. 
Now that we've gone through these steps, it's XX/XX/XXXX and 30+ calls later, each employee that answers my call either hangs up on me after putting be on hold for 30 minutes ( AT LEAST, ) but never has the information " taken down '' from the last call. 
Ask for a supervisor, and they give you someone that gives you the same lines and hangs up on you after waiting sometimes an hour. 
Every time I provide information again, it's " not in the file, '' but they DO have my " case number. '' Refuses to give a phone number for a legal department and most refuse to give you an employee or supervisor ID number. When they do, it's fake. 
Supposedly going to get a call from a superior in 24-48 hours for the third time. Hasn't happened once.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: CrossCountry Mortgage LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
With a drop in interest rates, I approached Cross Country Mortgage about a refinance after an unrelated solicitation implied rates were lower than I was paying. I asked the broker I was working with to explore this via email on about XX/XX/2021. We discussed over the phone and that was it. 

He pulled my credit and never got back to me. I signed no application, made no formal request to refinance, and never received a response from the broker despite several follow ups via phone call and email. 

I have reached out to remove the hard inquiry as it was not related to an actual application, and the broker never followed through on my request to explore refinance options. To wit, I received not a response or indication that could in any way be reasonably construed as guidance in the refinance process - not an indication of rate, terms, expectations, nor provided an actual application. 

I have yet to receive a meaningful response as to why I have an inquiry given their failure to provide anything for which an inquiry may be justified.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
I made a balance transfer to pay off the US Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX ) credit card around XX/XX/XXXX. The transfer did not go through until XX/XX/XXXX or so. Because of the delay ( they ( US Bank ) admitted there was a delay of at least five days ). They charge me a late fee and additional interest on the old balance. In addition, U.S Bank has been misapplying the payment I've made between the purchase and cash balance accounts. I " been making many payment over the minimum amount, however the balance to the cash account kept going up. They said it was interest on the cash balance. I say it is because they did not apply the amount over the minimum to the cash account. The minimum amount can't be calculated with the previous months interest plus an additional amount or this would defeat the purpose of the law that says amounts over the minimum must be applied to the highest interest account. The cash account went up to over {$4000.00} and over the past couple of years ( ever since the card was transferred from XXXX XXXX to U.S. Bank ). The amount should be around {$2000.00} that I would owe. Now the balance transfer has gone through and there is a balance of about {$99.00}, however, I believe U.S. Bank ( XXXX XXXX ) owes me the difference on the misapplied, over the minimum payments to that account - about {$2000.00}.

Company: KEYCORP

Complaint narrative:
I have received several notifications from KeyBank about changes to my personal accounts that were not authorized. These changes are done using their digital platform- Online Banking. My email address has been changed and bill payees have been added. While these changes don't impact my balance they do make me worry about fraud on my account. 
I have contacted KeyBank several times regarding this issue. I'm asked to change my password and I'm assured I have been removed from their 'test environments ' and it won't happen again but it does. 
Unauthorized activity and bogus notifications should not be sent to clients. 
Most recently, I received an email on XX/XX/22 indicating I added a payee - Test payee2 on XX/XX/22.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, Please be advised that I have received your computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX  days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the XXXX. 
You were advised by me on XXXX XXXX by certified mail ( copy enclosed ) that I questioned the accuracy of a few items on my credit reports. That request was written by me and mailed by me- not a third party agency. It appears obvious to me that you are abusing your power under the XXXX to escape a complete investigation. 
Here again is the incorrect information being reported : XXXX MUTUAL XXXX {$510.00} Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States XXXX has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. 
I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. 
I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this letter dated XXXX XXXX is formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within XXXX days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only XXXX days not XXXX more. 
I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.
