Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX both my husband and I requested our annual free copies of our LexisNexis Consumer Disclosure. After receiving a letter in the mail with a URL and PIN to receive my report, I followed the directions to download my report and received a " File Not Found '' error. When we received the letter for my husband 's report, the same issue occurred. 

I attempted to call LexisNexis via their posted phone number however there is no option to speak to a person even though it was during their posted business hours. 

I sent an email to XXXX explaining my issue. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, we received another set of letters with new URLs and PINs to receive our reports and followed the instruction again. This time we are receiving an " Invalid Pin '' message asking us to call the number I called before that does not have a way to talk to a live person. Once again, it applies to both reports. 

There does not seem to be a way to speak to someone to gain access to our free annual report.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I used to have a personal checking account with XXXX. That account has been dormant for several years, with a {$0.00} balance. Last year, Citizens Bank acquired some of XXXX 's business, which resulted in Citizens Bank taking over management of this checking account. 

Unbeknownst to me, once this checking account was transferred to Citizens, they started charging account maintenance fees on the account. Since the account had a XXXX balance, this resulted in a charge to a personal line of credit which was linked to the checking account for overdraft protection. 

I became aware of this situation in the middle of 2022, when I received notices that the account was past due. 

I called Citizens, explained that I had never opted in to doing business with them, never agreed to their fee structure, and wanted to close my account, and have all fees waived or refunded. I had several calls with their customer support organization, but finally convinced them to waive the fees, and close the account. 

At this point, I thought the problem was over. I was wrong. 

My wife is currently trying to start her own business. As part of this process, she has been applying for business credit cards, and having a difficult time doing so. When she finally received a notice explaining that she was denied a credit card, along with the explanation, we noticed that the our credit report has a 30- and 60-day delinquent payment notice. This surprised us, since we have never missed a credit-card or loan payment of any kind, and prior to 2022, had excellent credit ( XXXX  score of XXXX ). 

After inspecting our credit report further, I noticed that the reporting financial institution was Citizens Bank. At first I was confused, since we've never signed up for any credit cards or loan products from Citizens. But then I remembered the quagmire I was thrust into in 2022. 

So, this month, I've spent many hours trying to contact Citizens Bank to resolve this issue. I've talked to at least XXXX different branches of their customer service ( banking support, credit support, asset recovery support ). None of them have been willing and able to help me, and always redirect me to someone else.
