Issue: Opening an account — Account opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP INC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX/Flagstar for the unauthorized opening of an account and the unauthorized transfer of funds from my Discover account. 

Start Date of Incident : XX/XX/year> Accounts Involved : Discover and XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX/Flagstar On XX/XX/year>, I was researching high-yield savings accounts ( HYSA ) to find a bank offering a better interest rate than my current Discover account. During this search, I came across XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXFlagstar , which advertised an attractive interest rate. 

I began the account opening process with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX/Flagstar but did not complete or follow through with the final steps. Aware of the potential risks, I proactively contacted Discover on the same day to place a " Stop Payment '' on any potential withdrawals or transfers requested from XXXX XXXX XXXXFlagstar . 

Despite these precautions, on XX/XX/year>, all funds were removed from my Discover account and transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXXFlagstar without my authorization. 

Upon discovering the unauthorized transfer, I immediately contacted XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXFlagstar . I had to endure a lengthy and frustrating process to gain access to an account for which I did not even have the account number. When I requested the return of my funds, I was informed that the funds were on a nine-day hold. 

As of today, XX/XX/year>, I have made four additional calls to XXXX XXXX XXXX/Flagstar , explaining the situation each time. The account should have never been opened, and I am now left with only {$13.00} until my next paycheck. This situation has left me unable to pay for my rent, food, or other essential needs. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXFlagstar has been unable to provide any evidence or documentation showing that I agreed to or signed for the account opening. This account should not have been opened, the transfer should have never taken place, and as a result, I am also losing out on over {$500.00} worth of interest that should have been generated if my funds had remained in my Discover account.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I have called XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX multiple times and get transferred to multiple departments and no one at XXXX XXXX can seem to locate this erroneous duplicate account # XXXX or send me proof, that they are showing on my credit reports. 

It is very frustrating that no one at XXXX XXXX can even locate this information for me and furthermore delete this error. Again, I only had one loan with XXXX XXXX and it was paid in full and closed. That was account # XXXX in the amount of {$17000.00} and paid in full. I have no idea where this duplicate erroneous account # XXXX originated or who opened this account without my signature or knowledge. It is obviously an error/duplicate and needs to be removed from all three credit reporting agencies.

Complaint narrative:
with DEPT EDXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in months that are reported late to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


DEPT EDXXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
