Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX has closed out an account that was last reported on XX/XX/XXXX, with a close out date for XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, I reviewed my latest consumer report and its reporting as a repossession. 
I am aware that any transactions between a consumer and a creditor should not be furnished on a consumer report. I also did not give XXXX XXXX nor XXXX, XXXX, or Experian consent to furnish this negative account on my report. I also was not given a chance to opt of reporting for this account. As of today XX/XX/XXXX, this is my written consent to opt of credit reporting for this account. Because I am aware that I have all rights to privacy, I will hold whoever knowingly and deceptively falsified negative, non-personal information liable to the extent of what federal law allows. A cease-and-desist letter is attached to this report as well as an FTC complaint. This account should be deleted Immediately.

Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account was closed sometime in XXXX. The bank took almost two weeks to get my funds even after I told them this is resulting in financial hardship. I had to use by son 's credit card to pay my living expenses. because they closed my account for a bad check, they would not allow me to go withdraw cash. 

Ultimately, the bank did not lose any money ( not even a XXXX ). I have called every two weeks since XXXX for the remaining funds. 

I received a bank statement showing XXXX balance but they are holding the remaining funds of {$450.00}. they keep telling me they are researching it. I asked what is there to research. this was a savings account where I have maybe deposited only several checks and all were cleared way before they closed my account. 

I called every two weeks since end of XXXX.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I opened an account online during covid as a XXXX person. I attempted many many times to close my account online and with the assistance of many folks at the consumer line to no avail. I explained I can not go to a branch and that is why I opted for an online account and should be able to close the account in the same manner in which I opened the account- it is not reasonable to not be offered that option. Today I received another harassing phone call from the local branch threatening to report me to the credit reporting agency as the account has been dormant and they are charging me a XXXX fee each month. I was only able to reduce my balance to under XXXX online and not to close it. I asked it be escalated as a consumer complaint to management. A XXXX, XXXX XXXX, came on the phone and told me he was not permitted and did not have the ability to escalate this to headquarters. I told him this is a regulatory violation, including UDAAP and FCRA. I had him repeat on 6 occasions that he had no ability to escalate. I asked him who his prudential regulator was and he did not know. I asked twice. I asked if he was aware of what UDAAP or FCRA was and he did not know. I asked if he had any regulatory training and he had not. Additionally, I received no notice of the fees in writing ; perhaps online but as far as I was concerned, I cancelled my account as best I could by removing all my funds I was allowed as they did not have the means to appropriately close my account without contact. If they are suggesting the online is not good enough to close my account, why are they billing me for unfair fees through that process without notice? I just want my account closed and the ridiculous fees waived and the harassments to cease. Closing an account opened online, online is a reasonable assumption a reasonable consumer should receive.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Citi submitted a triple diverse accounting statement in the same month for my credit card. They failed to respond or to solve their derelict accounting, which destroyed my confidence in their actuarial system. Subsequently, I received threatening form letters, similar to a collection agency 's, which in the course of events were substituted by form letters insinuating that I was impoverished and could go on a payment plan of their devising. They continued by assessing ( exorbitant ) late fees. In the course of time I discovered that they had badly damaged my credit rating -- without an explanation to myself or the credit card charge recipient. 

I have since written to XXXX and XXXX XXXX  agencies, complaining of Citibank 's high-handed tactics and irresponsible errors. In the interim, Citibank has failed to phone me to discuss the matter of their negligence. Given their behavior, I am ready to file suit to finally get their attention. 

Their example is egregious.

Complaint narrative:
I opened a dispute for a XXXX transaction that was made on XX/XX/2021 for the amount of {$200.00} for service that was not provided from the original merchant. USAA response was that I had provided insufficient evidence to dispute the transaction in my favor. Upon a XXXX Complaint and CFPB Complaint their Office of the CEO relayed to me that due to XXXX Laws they were not able to request a refund for the amount a second time without approval from the Merchant ( XXXX ). I then requested the approval from the original Merchant ( XXXX ) and upon submission of the approval for a refund of the amount in question ( {$200.00} ) USAA has repeatedly denied the re-opening of the Credit Card Dispute or any resolution to the transaction being refunded. I have provided countless documentation of evidence that supports my right to a refund but they have disregarded it all and have told me MULTIPLE different things. " I need to contact the collection agency to resolve the matter '', " I need to have the Credit Card Dept. handle my request. '' ( The Credit Card Dept. transfers me to the Dispute Dept. ), " I have passed the window to reopen and reassess the dispute. ", and " I am responsible for payment of the amount regardless of my documentation ''. I have received countless harassing cards from XXXX XXXX for Collection from this Transaction, I have been severely harmed by the impact it has had with my Credit Report as they have continuously reported false information ( Late Payments and Charge Offs and reporting my account as Open when it was actually Closed ) and I have had to deal with countless people misinforming me. I want this resolved and the amount on my account set to XXXX like it should of been months ago! I want my Credit Score/Report fixed and I do not want to have a single dealing with USAA ever again! If I have to get a Lawyer for this issue I will as I have already tried everything through the proper channels only to be harassed.

Complaint narrative:
I am applying for public student loan forgiveness ( PSLF ) for my law school loans serviced by FedLoans. XXXX months ago I resubmitted my employment certifications, even though I have submitted these certifications throughout the life of the loan and my years of employment, many of my certifications were no longer on file. I received a letter from FedLoans and noticed that many qualified payments were not applied. I am now resubmitting the same paperwork, that I have resubmitted many times in the past XXXX XXXX, in an effort to have my qualified payments applied. This nonstop, paper-chasing XXXX by FedLoans is extremely frustrating. I have no reason to believe that when I send in the documents, again, that FedLoan servicing will accurately apply my qualifying payments to my PSLF.
