Consumer complaint received 2023-10-10 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Experian by phone on XXXX to report an inaccuracy being presented on my consumer report. I requested to have this account ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) removed because the account does not belong to me. Further, XXXX XXXX XXXX violated the FDCPA rule 809 since I was not notified in writing prior to this alleged debt being reported on my consumer report. 
Experian is now requiring me to provide personal information and explain ( prove ) why this alleged debt/account does not belong to me. However, the entity ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) was not required to provide any information whatsoever to prove the validity/accuracy of this alleged debt. Why do I ( the consumer ) have to prove why an account that was never validated DOES NOT belong to me when the entity is not required to do the same prior to reporting the account on my consumer report.

The verifying documents that are being requested of Experian ( from me ) have already been provided on numerous occasions via certified mail. I have attached these documents for review. Where are these documents being stored and why am I continually having to provide them when I identify an inaccuracy on my account.

It seems that the credit bureaus are more supportive of reporting inaccurate information without any validation as opposed to recognizing an inaccuracy identified by the consumer and removing that inaccuracy in accordance with Fair Credit Reporting Act and FDCPA rule 809, Validation of Debt requirements.

Complaint narrative:
Experian is causing me pain and suffering. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX  are in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974. I did not give XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX  consent to report my nonpublic personal information. As well as, I do not ever remember doing business with any of these companies. Because my privacy rights are being violated, my family and I are suffering emotional damages, mental stress and health issues. I am suffering emotional damage while I am trying to purchase a safe and suitable home for my children. Me and my children will be homeless, because I cant get a home. All because Experian has falsely obtained and disclosed my nonpublic personal information without my written consent required by public law. I am exercising my right to opt out of Experian disclosing and collecting my information on these accounts, 15 U.S.C. 6802 6804 Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information. Experian is a non-affiliate third party to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. Because these companies sent my personal information to Experian more fraud has been committed against me. I would like for Experian to give me the document I signed to give consent to share my nonpublic personal information. And if Experian somehow finds forged consent, I still have an inalienable right to exercise my right to opt out. 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' Delete and block these accounts that are disclosing my nonpublic personal information : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX- XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX While looking over these accounts I have found a plethora of inaccuracies that are violations of the FCRA public law. My legal counsel is prepared to file civil suit ; however, I am giving Experian the chance to resolve this issue outside of the courts.

Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Citibank claimed that a check, from another bank, ( XXXX XXXX ), that I deposited was fraudulent. It was a distribution from a XXXX account and printed with the deposit details. Citibank is lying and saying they did not cash the check, when I have proof from my 401K company that they verified the check was good and that Citibank cashed it. Citibank closed my accounts and will not return my funds although it's proven that they cashed it I have spent hours over the course of 2 weeks listening to their customer reps fumble through this nightmare, transferring me from rep to rep. The BANK MANAGER from the Citibank branch where I deposited the check joined me on a conference call to try to resolve this and could not do so with their own inept representatives. CITIBANK HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE, COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS AND TRULY HAS NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING. Citibank has no right whatsoever to sit on my funds, close my accounts and offer no explanation when I caught them in their lie. Meanwhile I still do not have access to my funds or any indication when I can expect them. I want my funds, plus interest, plus penalties and significant punitive damages as a lesson that they can not do whatever they wish, whenever they want, and have no accountability. I'm sure if I had a couple XXXX in there they would swing a different tune, but everyday hardworking clients do not have a prayer with them and they could not possibly care less.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hello -- In XX/XX/2023, I closed a saving account with Chase bank. When I went to access those records in order to complete my taxes, they had disappeared. Chase claims that I am not entitled to those records once the account is closed. That is ridiculous. Chase tried to pull the same thing 5+ years ago when I closed another account. That time I went to a branch office where staff said they could print out records at a cost. I complained to the manager and threatened to file a complaint, and suddenly Chase made those records available to me. These are my records and I am entitled to them for a reasonable amount of time, even if the account is closed. I continue to have a Chase checking account and two credit cards owned/managed by Chase. The cost to Chase to give me online access to those records is negligible. The IRS can demand records for 7 years. I must have access to those records for tax purposes. I should not have to pay Chase per page for my records. That reeks of extortion. How many customers are being forced to pay per page for their records?
