Complaint narrative:
Company is US BANK and I have recently become a victim of identity and fraud theft as a result of the local postal delivery mistakenly delivering mail to the incorrect apartment number. This unfortunate incident allowed an unknown individual to gain possession of my card and unlawfully utilize my personal information to modify bank account details, granting them access through the automated system and enabling them to withdraw money. It was the bank who alerted me to this unauthorized activity and we started the process for the claim and filed yet they denied it. Despite accurately providing our address, we have encountered numerous instances where our neighbors have returned our mail. Furthermore, there have been occasions when we have received mail intended for residents of other apartments as well. Could you please assist me in resolving this matter? I am currently facing a situation where I am receiving mail intended for multiple individuals who do not reside at my address.

Complaint narrative:
I have been asking the credit bureaus to reinvestigate a bankruptcy that is reporting on my credit report. They replied to me stating that the bankruptcy has been verified. I have contacted the United States Bankruptcy Court XXXX XXXX of Wisconsin and they have advised that they do not report bankruptcy info to the credit bureaus. Furthermore, the credit bureaus advised me that they verified my bankruptcy with XXXX XXXX, but I have documentation and have sent them documentation showing that XXXX XXXX was unable to verify the accuracy of the bankruptcy and that they have deleted it from their database. How are they verifying this bankruptcy and it's accuracy? I demand that the credit bureaus show me the proof that they allege they have for the reinvestigation. This has caused me financial hardship and emotional distress as I have been attempting and trying to get this matter rectified.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I completed a balance transfer with a 12 month 0 % APR XXXX 

I did not have any other balance on the account at the time of the transfer. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a promotion on new purchases - 0 % for 6 months. 

I used the card to pay my taxes. 

Therefore I had a promotional 0 % balance transfer until XXXX  AND a 0 % transaction on the one and only purchase until XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment in mid XXXX, in the exact amount of the expiring 0 % XXXX  balance. This payment was made via a balance transfer from another card, I didn't know the exact date the transaction would post. 

My impression from the CARD act was that the payments post in a way that advantages the consumer, not the financial institution. 

Instead, this payment posted in the most consumer disadvantageous way. It completely paid off my 0 % XX/XX/XXXX balance. Then the excess paid toward some of the XX/XX/XXXX blanace. 

The justification? At the time the payment posted, both balances were 0 %. Since there was no " higher '' interest rate. The payment was applied towards the oldest unpaid transaction, which occurred in XX/XX/XXXX, and the time of my balance transfer. 

Therefore, because a payment posted a few days before the interest rate increased, I now lost the remaining 5 months of 0 % interest AND immediately have a balance accruing interest. 

This seems completely contrary to the spirit of payments posting in a way that advantages the consumer. 

I spoke to a couple of representatives from the financial institution, and while they were somewhat sympathetic, they did not feel they could alter the way the payment posted or revert the 0 % promotion. They simply said the disclosures indicate this is the order payments post when interest rates are equal. I would argue that just because the disclosure states something will be done, it doesn't mean it is lawful to have a policy that can still intentionally disadvantage the consumer.

I withhold my consent for electronic communication and explicitly request that all responses be conveyed in written form through the United States Postal Service ( USPS ).

Complaint narrative:
I am the primary complainant in this matter, and I hereby grant full authority to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to thoroughly investigate and address this claim. It is alarming that despite my genuine concerns and efforts to rectify inaccuracies resulting from identity theft, your bureau has failed to address my disputes effectively. The accounts in question are causing significant distress and have the potential to adversely affect my financial well-being. I have diligently followed the necessary procedures to dispute these accounts, and I have seen positive responses from other credit bureaus. I am now at a loss to understand why your bureau persists in denying my legitimate claims. The repeated denials not only defy the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) but also indicate a disregard for the rights and well-being of consumers.
