Company: OneMain Finance Corporation
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
OneMain wrote off on their taxes as a profit loss/charge-off, at the same time they were supposed to send me a 1099C so I can write it off, because it is considered income according to the IRS. OneMain are still reporting on my credit report that I still owe the balance even though they took a tax break. I requested a copy of that 1099C that was filled with the IRS. The credit union told me they have not filed it yet. But on my credit report it said you did file a 1099C, with the IRS. I am going to sue you in Federal Court for FRAUD under the FCRA - Fair Credit Reporting Act, I can seek statutory damages if creditor furnishes Inaccurate Information about a debt, such as incorrectly reporting a charge-off while still claiming I owe the debt. This is FRAUD I am talking about ; I am going to report you to the IRS.

Complaint narrative:
I experienced a XXXX point drop in credit score with experian with no changes to credit report at all. Utilization, payment and accounts were basically identical for past 6 month then suddenly a XXXX point decrease. No new credit or inquiries. Even when I click on see whats changed option, the only thing it states is 3 accounts aged a month which could have good impact on score. I spoke with 2 people at experian for hours that combed report and couldnt explain drop bc they didnt see anything that could cause the drop. I was told to contact FICO. They said it was unexplainable too and also noticed Experian was counting my XXXX balances against utilization and informed me this wasnt correct reporting practice either. Including XXXX I still kept Utilization between 3 to 5 %. FICO stated a supervisor would contact me after looking into the situation. That was a week ago. Still waiting.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB Team, I am writing to formally file a complaint against Wells Fargo for what I believe to be predatory and excessive overdraft fee practices. These fees have caused significant financial hardship and reflect inflexible policies that take advantage of vulnerable consumers during challenging times. 

Details of the Overdraft Fees The following fees were assessed on my account : XX/XX/XXXX : {$35.00} XX/XX/XXXX : {$35.00} XX/XX/XXXX : {$35.00} Background and Hardship Since my business closed in XX/XX/XXXX, I have been working tirelessly to rebuild my financial stability. Living in XXXX, XXXX I have also endured two major natural disasters, which further compounded my difficulties.

Despite my efforts to maintain my finances, these overdraft fees have only added to the challenges I face. As a long-time Wells Fargo customer, I attempted to resolve this issue directly with their customer service. I contacted them to explain my situation and request a waiver or reversal of the fees, but they declined to make any adjustments or accommodations.

My Concerns I believe Wells Fargos overdraft fee practices are : 1. Predatory : The fees disproportionately impact those experiencing financial hardship, creating a cycle of debt that is difficult to escape.

2. Inflexible : Despite extraordinary circumstances, Wells Fargo has refused to provide relief, showing a lack of empathy or understanding for customer hardships.

3. Excessive : Charging {$35.00} per incident is unreasonable, especially when customers are already struggling financially.

Request for Action I respectfully request that the CFPB : 1. Investigate Wells Fargos overdraft fee policies and practices.

2. Advocate for the reversal of the {$100.00} in overdraft fees charged to my account.

3. Recommend that Wells Fargo adopt more flexible and consumer-friendly policies, particularly for individuals facing documented hardships.

Conclusion These fees have caused me undue financial distress during a time of crisis. I believe Wells Fargos actions violate principles of fairness and consumer protection. I am reaching out to the CFPB because I have exhausted my options for resolution with the bank directly and need assistance in addressing this issue. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. I am happy to provide any additional information or documentation needed to support my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
