In May of 2024, I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX a company based out of XXXX, XXXX XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I returned the device and sought a refund. The device was returned within the return period and I have proof of receipt. The vendor did not return the purchase money, so I filed a dispute with Ally Bank. Ally Bank opened a dispute and determined I was not entitled to the money. 

I continued to follow up with XXXX. I started to believe they were not a legitimate company, and were fraudulently taking peoples money. I filed a second dispute with Ally Bank. Ally Bank closed my card and claims they never received the funds from XXXX. 

XXXX began to assist me in XXXX of 2024 with the issue. They indicated on XX/XX/XXXX of 2024, the money was returned to Ally Bank via a charge back.

Ally Bank has refused to investigate any further, to contact the intermediary payment processor, XXXX, nor to do any further investigation to facilitate the return of my funds.

The vendor has provided me evidence they returned the funds on XXXX of 2024. Ally Bank refuses to provide records or discuss the matter further. They will not contact the vendor or the intermediary vendor.

In the past a bank manager would simply be able to contact someone in the back office and help. The employees and managers at Ally Bank appear to be only willing to read from a script.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WA

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I had funds wired in my Navy Federal CU account on XX/XX/XXXX and it sat there for several days before I decided to wire it out. I went to the branch and was asked about the company that did the wire, and I did not remember it off the top of my head. I finally found the email and then had to get a manager 's approval. This was on XX/XX/XXXX. The bank employee said he had to go in back and check on some things and later returned and said a fraud hold was being put on the money. I asked why, and they just said it was because they had some issues with the bank that sent the money, and it would be 3-5 days to release it. If there was a problem with the incoming transfer, I'm sure there would have been a flag raised prior to my transaction request.

Now it's been about 10 days since they received the wire and in this age of electronic banking and the Swift clearing house being almost instantaneous, this is not adding up. We are talking {$140000.00} they are holding hostage, and they act like it's their money to do what they want with. I want answers, but most of all I want MY MONEY!!!

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.
