Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 I submitted disputes for unknown inquiries on my report. They responded within 24 hours that the " Inquiries are a factual record of file access and will remain on the equifax credit file two years from the reported date of the inquiry. '' I would like to understand how they would be able to investigate and come to this conclusion in less than 24 hours. 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( A ) states : " Subject to subsection ( f ) and except as provided in subsection ( g ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a consumer reporting agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a reseller, of such dispute, the agency shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ). '' I would not call this a reasonable and fair investigation. Failure to do this means that Equifax has broken the law.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

Complaint narrative:
There are several problems with this bank and they are impossible to communicate with. 1. I am being charged for all incoming/outgoing wires. I was never informed of this before the transfer of my account from XXXX  to Citizens. Prior to Citizens there was no fee for wires 2. Supposedly I can not deposit more than 50,000 a month on my mobile device. This is a problem as I can not walk to the bank every time I want to deposit more after that. 3. When I deposit checks at a branch, since the mobile app does not work, I need to be Able to see the deposits online. 

I spoke with someone on Saturday about these issues and they were unable to help. They told me someone would call today at XXXX and nobody did. 

These problems need to be resolved for me to stay at Citizens bank or else there is no point as the offerings are uncompetitive.

Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On Thursday, XX/XX/2022 I stopped by my JP Morgan Chase Bank and was informed that my account was being closed and that I needed to find another bank. When I asked why this was happening the teller only said that their notes show suspected fraud as being the reason and that a letter had been sent six months earlier. No letter was ever sent. 

I asked for a better explanation and none was given. 

I have had this account for years and the only unusual activity this past year and a half have been the COVID pandemic relief that was enacted by Congress and which I was eligible for. 

I am a sole proprietor that files my self-employment income under Schedule C on my personal IRS Form 1040. I received two PPP ( Paycheck Protection Program ) loans and a EIDL loan through the SBA ( Small Business Administration ). In all these loans the calculation for how much I was qualified for was strictly based on my returns filed with the IRS. In the case of the EIDL loan I had an phone interview with an underwriter. Every pandemic loan I have received have been based on verifiable tax return filings and I have submitted all documents requested in a timely manner.

No one at the federal level is questioning these loans.

My concern is that Chase has a fraud department that is either untrained or are indiscriminately targeting account holder who may fit a profile for fraud based on their ethnic origin. This is yet another example of a racially discriminatory practice by a U.S. based bank. It is interesting that I found out about my account being closed the same week that President Biden announced a new DOJ task force to look into pandemic relief fraud.

I report my self-employment income using my social security number I do not have a separate FEIN number. This is accepted by the IRS as business income and I have been filing this way for years. The various COVID19 relief acts passed by Congress did not discriminate between businesses that have FEIN versus income reported using SSNs.

The bank decided to close my accounts. They did not give notice and a reason for the closure.

After contacting XXXX XXXX they stated ( have emails and receipts of all paid checks to Bank of America ) that all checks were paid and was no stop payment on those checks. In the mean time all my funds where frozen and I had no access to any funds due to the fact that I only had accounts in Bank of America and they were closing all of them. Bank of America refuse to talk to us and treat us like delinquents, more so they did not want to contact XXXX XXXX to validate any information. After 3 weeks they send a check for {$1500.00} which is the amount of money I had before all of this happened. As today XX/XX/2022 they have the rest of my money and stated they don't have a resolution time on this case.

The Bank of America Manager from the branch that we deposited the checks in, told us that Bank of America is doing us wrong she does not see anything wrong in the accounts and even her is disappointed that no body can explain what is happening.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, Please be advised that I have received your computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third-party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

You were advised by me on XX/XX/2022 by certified mail that I questioned the accuracy of a few items on my credit reports. That request was written by me and mailed by me- not a third-party agency. It appears obvious to me that you are abusing your power under the FCRA to escape a complete investigation. 

Here again is the incorrect information being reported : 1. Under 15 USC 1666B this is a billing error always paid as agreed on time this is an error this account in violation. 
XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX THIS ACCOUNT IS INACCURATE, I DID NOT INCUR ANY LATE PAYMENTS. PLEASE UPDATE TO PAID ON TIME Additionally, there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is an irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. 

I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to ensure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. 

I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this letter dated XX/XX/2022 is formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not 30 more. 

I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I had late payments on my past mortgage with Bank of America NA in XXXX two of them. I sold the home on XX/XX/XXXX. I asked XXXX to remove the late payment as it was affecting my credit rating/score and they said they could not. They advised me to have Bank of America remove it from my account. Bank of America advised me that they are only reporting what happened during the course of the loan by law and that they can not remove those late payments from the account which I understand. I went back to XXXX and they said that Bank of America can write me a good fate response in regards to those late payments. Bank of America said they do not write good fate statements for this type of request and that all the credit bureaus know this. I went back to XXXX and they advised me to contact you guys ( CFPB ). I have been at this since the last week of XX/XX/XXXX trying to have XXXX remove this late payment from their record since the loan was paid off in full. They told me that this late payment is set to be removed in XXXX. My argument is since the loan was paid off in full, no foreclosure or bankruptcy why keep the late payments on my report for 6 years.
