Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
My husband and I deposited a {$4200.00} treasury check into our checking account via mobile deposit. ( This is a valid check- its a tax refund from XXXX. We used the treasurys check verification system website at XXXX XXXX XXXX to verify it before depositing it. ) Ally placed a 5 business day hold on the check, even though their terms and conditions state treasury checks are available on the next business day. The hold reason states the following : There is inconsistent information on the check you submitted. I called in and asked what information is inconsistent on the check. They told me they couldnt tell me. Later, a different associate told me the check image isnt clear. ( That is not true. I can see all the check identifying information in the image in my checking account. ) I asked if I could send a clearer image. They said no. Two other associates told me that Ally places a 5 business day hold on ALL treasury checks as a general fraud prevention measure. One of those associates told me that even if I mailed the check in ( to an address in Pennsylvania ), the 5 business day hold would be placed. I asked if someone could go to the treasurys website and verify the check so the hold could be released. They said no. I escalated to the highest level I could- in all cases, I was told there is nothing we can do except wait the 5 business days for the hold to removed. ( My husband and I have banked with Ally since XXXX. We regularly receive direct deposits, our account is not and has not been overdrawn, this check has not been returned unpaid, the check was not over the large check threshold, and weve had no issues with our account until now. ) Ally is an online bank. It has no branches and does not accept deposits via ATM so there is no way for me to deposit the check in person. Ally is placing 5-day holds on treasury checks in bad faith whether they doubt the collectability of the checks or not. ( There are many complaints just like mine on the CFPBs website and on XXXX. ) This practice is unethical and goes completely against the XXXX  of XXXX. CC funds availability requirements for government checks. In my case, Ally has no reason to doubt the collectability of the check when there is no indication the check wont be paid and when they can easily go to the treasurys website to confirm this is a real check. Ally is actively harming its customers by preventing them from accessing their funds in a timely manner and is deceiving its customers by stating treasury checks are available on the next business day when their practice is to hold them for five business days.

Complaint narrative:
LVNV Funding LLC Mailing Address City, State, ZIP Code Dear Sir/Madam, Subject : Dispute of Alleged Debt I am writing to formally dispute the debt being reported by LVNV Funding LLC as of XX/XX/year>, in the amounts of {$1100.00} and {$810.00}. I have no business relationship with your company, and I believe that these debts were purchased from another company that has since terminated the original debt. Despite my numerous requests for proof of ownership and validation of the alleged debt, I have not received any documentation from LVNV Funding LLC to support your claims. As per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I am requesting that you cease all collection activities and remove the inaccurate information from my credit report. This unwarranted reporting has negatively impacted my credit rating for the past four years, causing considerable distress and harm. Please provide the following information within 30 days of receipt of this letter : 1. A copy of the agreement that authorizes you to collect on this alleged debt. 2. A detailed statement showing the full accounting of the alleged debt. If you are unable to provide the requested documentation, I insist that you immediately cease collection activities and correct the inaccurate information reported to the credit bureaus. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this matter.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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 ( 2 ) 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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information on my credit report pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and to request that this information be blocked. I have attached a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) to support my fraud claim. 

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft or fraud report, credit reporting agencies are required to block and remove any information identified by the consumer as resulting from identity theft or fraud within four business days. 

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and should be blocked : XXXX XXXX - XXXX As required by 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I request that this fraudulent information be blocked from my credit report immediately. This information should be blocked for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension of the block. During this period, this information must not be reported to any lender or agency as accurate or verified. 

I have contacted TransUnion several times regarding these fraudulent accounts on my report, and no solution has been provided. This situation is significantly affecting my ability to obtain financial opportunities, including housing for my family. These negative marks have been removed by other credit reporting agencies but continue to be inaccurately reported and unverified by your agency. 

Additionally, I have requested signed contracts or verification documents from the original creditor associated with these accounts, but I have not received a response within the legally required 60-day period. 

I respectfully request your immediate assistance in blocking and deleting these fraudulent accounts and inquiries from my credit report. I have included the FTC Identity Theft Report to support this request, and I hope you will make a fair and informed decision regarding this matter.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I spoke with Equifax Supervisor XXXX regarding Case # XXXX. I explained that I had submitted an FTC Identity Theft Report along with supporting documentation ( ID, Social Security card, proof of address, and a sworn crime report ) requesting the deletion of disputed accounts under FCRA Section 605B within 4 business days of receipt. Despite this, no action had been taken on my consumer report, and XXXX claimed the FTC Report was invalid due to missing page numbers, without providing proof that the FTC was contacted to verify this claim. This assertion contradicts FCRA Section 605B, which does not stipulate such requirements. Additionally, I have been informed by other Equifax supervisors that their internal policies prevent processing FCRA Section 605B deletion requests within the required 4 business days, instead requiring extended investigation periods. These practices also contravene FCRA Section 605B. 

For reference, I have previously filed CFPB Complaints # XXXX and # XXXX related to similar issues. I request that the CFPB investigates Equifaxs noncompliance with FCRA Section 605B, including their methods of verification and failure to act in accordance with the law, and ensure that my valid deletion request is processed promptly.
