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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I asked for VALIDATION of this debt. I DID NOT RECEIVE IT FROM THE CREDITOR. On XXXX I asked for a XXXX because the account is charged off. The company responded that they did not have to provide one. On XXXX I asked from errors on the account to be corrected. The creditor responded that they did not have any errors on my account that was being reported. Today is XX/XX/XXXX and i am requesting that this account be removed from my credit report immediately as proper investigation did not occur. Errors on my credit report : 1.The report states that the account was closed in XX/XX/XXXX, but the charge-off date is listed as XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX. My credit report shows charge-offs ( CO ) every single month from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX, a charge off is a one time event ( so on my credit report it should've only been charged off one time ). In The letter from XXXX states that the account was charged off on XX/XX/XXXX, not multiple times over XXXX and XXXX. This conflicts with my credit report, which indicates charge-offs from XX/XX/XXXX through every month in XXXX and XXXX. XXXX. Delinquency was first reported in XX/XX/XXXX, yet the payment history shows charge-offs beginning in XX/XX/XXXX XXXX the Letter Response from XXXX XXXX XXXX  The letter states that your account was written off on XX/XX/XXXX, with a balance of {$460.00}, but my credit report shows the account was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX, months before the XX/XX/XXXX write-off stated in the letter. The inconsistency between the charge-off date on the report and the written-off date in their correspondence is significant. 5.The account also reflects negative available credit of - {$230.00}, which is incorrect. My credit limit on this account was {$200.00}, and a balance of {$430.00} was reported. However, negative available credit is not appropriate and may indicate a miscalculation. **ENCLOSED : PLEASE SEE ATTATCHED CORRESPONDANCE FROM XXXX XXXX  XXXX PLEASE SEE COMPLAINTS THAT WERE FILED, PLEASE SEE CREDIT REPORT WITH ERRORS HIGHLIGHTED**

On XX/XX/year> I filed a complaint with the CFPB against XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, due to fraudulent accounts listed on my consumer report. I was notified that the accounts in question were verified as accurate by the alleged creditor, however nothing I requested disputing these alleged accounts was returned to me. I requested that validation and proof of claim of the disputed debt was requested in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692 and as amended by adding the following new Title 8 USC 802 et seq., and the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666 et seq. All of which work in conjunction with each other, including the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) 15 USC 1601 et seq. I specifically stated that this is NOT a request for verification or proof of Claimant 's mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION and PROOF OF CLAIM made pursuant to the above-named Titles and Sections. I have yet to receive such request and the information has not been blocked from my report and is still fraudulently reporting, damaging my reputation greatly. Amid submitting this complaint, I also submitted a copy of my FTC report as well. Delete these fraudulent accounts.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my concerns about conflicting information I received regarding my mortgage payment. My monthly mortgage payment, as of XX/XX/year>, is {$5600.00} after the addition of escrow for homeowners insurance, as per a statement sent by Truist. 

However, after making my XX/XX/year> payment of {$5300.00} on XX/XX/year>, I received a notice that indicated my payment was {$5600.00} and that I had underpaid by {$0.00}. This is confusing and seems to conflict with the initial notice that stated the change would take effect starting XX/XX/year>. 

When I contacted Truist 's customer service department to clarify the issue, I was informed that the notice was an error and that I should " ignore it. '' While I appreciate the response, it did not provide sufficient clarity or confidence, especially given the importance of accurate financial records and the anxiety caused by escrow-related changes. Additionally, no explanation or apology was given for the error or assurance that the issue would not affect other customers.

As a responsible consumer, I rely on accurate and clear communication from my mortgage provider. I respectfully request the following : 1. A written explanation of why this notice was sent and what caused the discrepancy.

2. Confirmation that my payment record is accurate and that no further issues will arise from this incident.

3. A description of any steps Truist is taking to prevent this issue from affecting me or other customers in the future.

This experience has been time-consuming and frustrating, and I believe its important that any erroneous notices are accompanied by an apology and a plan to resolve the underlying cause of the mistake.
