Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against XXXX for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my repeated submissions, XXXX consistently responds within 24 hours, stating that the account in question is accurate. However, they fail to provide any evidence that a thorough investigation has been conducted. 

This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates that credit reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable investigation of any disputed information. By not performing an adequate investigation or providing sufficient documentation to support their conclusions, XXXX has failed to comply with the requirements set forth in the FCRA. 

Furthermore, XXXX actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ). The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently addressed such violations in their administrative proceedings, emphasizing the need for companies to ensure they are not engaging in deceptive practices that harm consumers. 

As a result of these failures, I am requesting that XXXX take immediate action to review and correct the inaccuracies in my credit report, provide a comprehensive response outlining the steps taken during the investigation, and ensure full compliance with the FCRA and CFPA going forward. 

Please treat this matter with the urgency it deserves and provide a prompt response detailing your intended course of action.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding the failure of Wells Fargo and XXXX to process the reversal of an ACH transaction despite prior approval and compliance with all necessary procedures.

Transaction Details : Transaction Identifier : Trace # XXXX Date of Reversal Request : XX/XX/XXXX Amount : {$5600.00} Issue Summary : Delayed Reversal Approval : My bank submitted a Letter of Good Faith on XX/XX/XXXX, containing all required transaction details to facilitate the reversal. 
Despite this, Wells Fargo and XXXX have failed to process the reversal within the legally required 10-business-day timeframe, with no valid explanation provided. 
Unwarranted Requests for Personal Information : XXXX requested sensitive personal documents ( photo ID, transaction screenshots ), despite being a third party in this transaction. 
Due to security concerns, I directed my bank to handle the matter directly, yet XXXX continues to delay the reversal. 
Suspicious Third-Party Involvement ( Stripe ) : XXXX is now requiring me to upload my bank account details to XXXX, a payment processor that was not involved in the original transaction. 
Given that the funds were sent to a Wells Fargo account, this demand is highly suspicious and raises concerns of potential fraud. 
Request for Immediate Action : Immediate Processing of the ACH Reversal to ensure the funds are returned to the originating account.

Cessation of Unjustified Requests for personal information and third-party account setup.

Investigation into the Handling of This Reversal Request, including XXXX role in the delay and the introduction of XXXX. 
This situation suggests possible noncompliance with federal banking regulations, including the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( Regulation E ) and Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ) Article 4A & 3. Given the ongoing delay and improper handling of funds, I request an immediate investigation and resolution.
