I recently submitted a claim with the CFPB, asking that they look into the information that Transunion is reporting. This was probably the laziest " investigation '' I have come across! Transunion responded to my complaint with the word " updated '' next to each item of the disputed information. Yet, the disputed items still remain inaccurate and unverified! I demand a reinvestigation and I do not consent to E-Oscar! Transunion obviously has no respect for my privacy! Transunion never addressed not responding to my disputes upon confirmation that they were received via USPS tracking. Transunion did not address my right to privacy being violated by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Transunion never addressed how these companies obtained my nonpublic personal information such as my social security number and other personal details which I did not provide them with or consent to them having! Transunion did not address how XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX No acct number ) ; XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX never gave me the opportunity to opt out of consumer reporting. If I established a relationship with these financial institutions, where is the adequate clear and conspicuous disclosure notice that was allegedly signed upon establishing the relationship!? Transunion did not address how the information is inconsistent with other major credit reporting agencies. Who is right, who is wrong? If Transunion can not provide me with physical proof establishing 100 % accuracy of their reportings, they ned to delete the information! Lastly, Transunion did not address the incorrect payment data for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, Do not delete these two accounts, just update the payment information to on-time, being that I did not miss any payments! Overall, updating information is not proof of an investigation! There were serious claims that they did not address or provide me proof of.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX  emailed me saying that I reported a card as lost or stolen. I did not. 
On the same day someone changed my address with the USPS in order to get the replacement credit cards. 
I received a letter from USPS saying that my address was changed. I immediately went to the Post Office to report that this was fraudulent and was told to call the USPIS regarding change of address fraud. My first Case # was XXXX. I did not receive a response within 2 weeks. I called again and received a new case # XXXX. More than two weeks later I still have not received a response from USPIS. 
I also immediately contacted XXXX to report the fraudulent address. 
However, in the meantime USPS forwarded some of my mail and Citibank subsequently changed my address to the fraudulent one. I called them to report the fraud. 
Still, the fraudulent address made it into my credit report for XXXX and XXXX. I have disputed the incorrect address with them twice. 
Luckily I prevented unauthorized charges by immediately notifying my credit card companies. However, what is disturbing is that I have been unable to get a response from USPIS. I want to be able to prevent criminals from changing my address online again. I was told this is not possible. That certainly plays in the hands of criminals who can report a credit card as lost and then simply change your address only with USPS. How can I protect myself from a recurrence of this? I have spent so much time on the phone trying to get this corrected.

Company: Sentry Credit, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have been receiving several calls and letters from Sentry Credit , INC regarding past due debt. I contacted them and gave them the account number listed on the documents that Ive received from them. I told them that this debt was entered into bankruptcy in 2021. She had my name and information pulled up but she wanted me to say my full name. I was not comfortable doing that. I stated to her that I had given her the account number for the account and she said that I could be someone else. I attempted to give her the bankruptcy number that proves that this was settled, she did not want to hear that and told me to hold on so that she could get a manager. I hung up out of frustration and contacted XXXX. The person I spoke with told me that they should not be harassing me and it is written off of my credit report due to bankruptcy. I want them to stop harassing me. Thank you

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Unable to open an account
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I put a check into an ATM to fund a new account at 5/3 Bank. I already have multiple checking, savings and business accounts and have for about 20-years. This check was to fund the new personal account. I checked the next day to find the issuing bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) which is local, had paid the {$5000.00} check to 5/3 but it was showing up in the 5/3 account as " Pending ''. I waited 2 days and checked again. Still pending. I did a chat with 5/3 complaining that was not right. Said they would not release the money to my account until XX/XX/XXXX ( 10 days ). Their response to my complaint was " The availability of funds does not guarantee that the check has cleared the bank that it is drawn on, or that the check is authentic. Each deposit goes through the same verification process. Whether a hold is placed on a deposit or not is determined by the life and activity history of the account the deposit is going into. Also, it would depend on the issuing bank verifying the deposit during processing ''. But the check had already cleared the issuing bank. I could see it on the activity statement ( I have access to that account as well ). 5/3 has done this several times before when I deposit a check of over {$2000.00}. It's almost automatic. 

Now, here is what they are doing I think : The put a hold on the big checks that come through ( even if they are cleared the next day by the issuing bank ) and then make money off the float. Interest from my {$5000.00} won't amount to much but if they do this some 10,000 times per month, it would be sizable. In the meantime, they are telling the customer the check hasn't cleared or isn't " authentic ''. 

Now, one solution on my end is just to change banks but I have about 10 accounts, credit cards, debit cards, etc. and to change all those would be a huge burden I don't have time to do. Plus, I have no assurance another bank will be any better. 

For the most part, 5/3 has done OK over the past 20-years. Local managers have gone out of their way to accommodate but this is out of their hands. 

If, for some reason, the bank has reason to believe a check is fraudulent or the money isn't transferred in a timely manner, a hold seems appropriate but when the money is transferred in 24 hours and they still hold it for 10 days, that just plain unethical.
