Company: SOFI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
What Happened : On Sunday, XX/XX/year>, I deposited a {$500.00} check via mobile deposit into my SoFi Bank account. I am currently facing a XXXX XXXX XXXX  and XXXX needed these funds to pay for a XXXX scheduled before Thursday, the day SoFi says the funds will be made available. 

Despite multiple calls and messages, I was told by three different representatives that they would not release the funds early even after I explained the urgency and offered to provide medical documentation. I asked for an exception under Regulation CC hardship policies, but no one offered to escalate or assist. 

Adding to this hardship, SoFi allowed debits and transactions to post against these held funds, even though the check hadnt been made available to me. This made my available balance drop further, and when I asked them to cancel pending debits, they refused to help. Now, because of their decision to both withhold the check and allow deductions from it, I no longer have the funds needed to pay for XXXX that XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

SoFis lack of compassion and unwillingness to escalate my request in a true emergency has placed my health and life at serious risk.

What I want : I am requesting that SoFi release the funds immediately due to the nature of the emergency and reimburse any amounts that were deducted while the deposit was still on hold. I also request that the CFPB investigate whether SoFis actions violate fair banking standards, particularly in hardship cases under Regulation CC, and whether they should have allowed debits against held funds. Their conduct has left me unable to access critical care that could determine my survival.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I conducted a promotional rate balance transfer that carries a 0 % interest rate for 15 months. A small recurring charge ( for {$66.00} ) went through on the same credit card subsequent to the balance transfer. Per the Wells Fargo website : If you pay more than your required minimum payment, we apply the excess first to the higher APR balances and then to lower ones.

The minimum payment for this cycle was about {$100.00}. I paid over {$1000.00}. Therefore the excess of the minimum SHOULD HAVE been applied to the small charge with a higher APR, however, it did not. Wells Fargo sent a letter saying the balance transfer balance must be paid off in full before any payments are applied to the higher APR charge this statement is ANTITHETICAL to what appears on their website. I was assessed an interest charge for {$1.00} which I should not have been, per their website, and they are refusing to rectify this and saying I will pay interest every month until the balance trader balance is paid in full

Issue: Managing an account — Problem making or receiving payments
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Im submitting this follow-up complaint to document new financial and operational harm caused by PNC Bank during an active dispute. 
On XX/XX/ 2025, PNC failed to process a scheduled domain renewal payment for my business website XXXX. As a result, the domain expired and the entire site went offline. 
My business checking account was at- {$120.00}, which blocked the transaction, yet non-critical charges like XXXX XXXX were still processed indicating inconsistent and negligent account handling. 
I was forced to visit a XXXX XXXX  branch and use a different institution just to resolve the issue and restore my domain and business operations.

Additionally, I received a phone call from an executive named XXXX from PNC at XXXX XXXX without any written confirmation, despite my prior written request that all communications be made via email for legal documentation.

This behavior reflects poor professional protocol, selective payment interference, and direct disruption of my ability to operate as a business owner.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
