Complaint narrative:
A Merchant mistakingly made a XXXX transaction on my cash app account which overdraw my account by that amount. That mistake was immediately corrected by the merchant and a receipt was acquired. Cash app chose to close my account anyway. I appealed with proof that this was not fraudulent activity and they still denied reopening my cash app. This is hurting me monetarily. I can not receive funds or send them. I don't even feel that they even looked at the case they just hit deny. Something has to give here. I need my account.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Charged-Off Credit Card Accounts with Capital One I am filing this complaint concerning XXXX credit card accounts with Capital One that were recently charged off without prior notice or the opportunity for resolution. 

The first account, ending in XXXX, had a final balance of approximately {$300.00}. The second account, ending in XXXX, had a balance of approximately {$400.00}. Both accounts were charged off on XX/XX/year>. 

I made multiple attempts to communicate with Capital One to discuss these accounts, both before and after the charge-offs. I reached out through phone and online channels, seeking to understand my options and potentially make payment arrangements. Unfortunately, I received no response or meaningful assistance. Additionally, there was no clear method to communicate via email or to directly speak with a representative regarding hardship options or repayment plans. 

Had I been notified or offered the chance to explain my financial circumstances, I would have informed Capital One that I receive XXXX ( XXXX XXXX Income ) benefits, which limits my ability to make large or unexpected payments. I was never given the opportunity to explain this or to request hardship assistance. 

It is concerning that both accounts were charged off without any formal warning, outreach, or consideration of potential alternatives. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter to ensure that Capital One adhered to fair and transparent practices, especially for consumers facing financial hardship. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
In the case of my complaint letter addressed to Citibank and Best Buy, a deep-rooted concern arises from the intricate partnership between the XXXX entities. Best Buy and Citibank 's collaboration, particularly in credit card services, showcases a process where Citi conducts soft inquiries on Best Buy customers based on an agreement between the XXXX companies. This results in Citibank having the authority to determine a customer 's fate solely based on their credit score, without the customers themselves initiating any new credit applications or demonstrating poor usage with Best Buy. For me, this became evident as my credit score plummeted significantly, despite maintaining a healthy {$2000.00} credit balance with Best Buy without any signs of risk or payment delinquency. It became apparent that Citibank unilaterally shut down my account, though Best Buy emerged as a significant player due to its representation in managing the account. The ramifications were not limited to just my credit score, as my daughter, who is an esteemed XXXX serving in the XXXX XXXX XXXX, suffered repercussions on her credit profile as well. In an attempt to seek resolution, I extended a mediation and settlement offer totaling {$20000.00} to both Best Buy and Citibank, only to have it rejected. The situation at hand highlights a concerning pattern of intentional exclusion wherein certain individuals or groups are subjected to discriminatory credit practices, barring them from fair credit opportunities based on protected characteristics. This case underscores the urgent need for accountability and transparency in credit assessment processes to uphold the principles of fairness and equality in credit access.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, Recently, American Express unexpectedly closed my credit card account on XX/XX/scrub>, 2025 without any prior notice or explanation. Whats more concerning is that my XXXXXXXX XXXX  Amex card had over {$1200.00} in cashback rewards, which I have never redeemed, and those were wiped out entirely due to the account closure. 

I consider this extremely unfair and unacceptable, as I was given no chance to redeem my rewards or appeal the decision. This sudden closure has impacted my credit score, disrupted my linked accounts ( including XXXX ), and caused financial and emotional XXXX. 

I am filing this formal complaint to request the following : Either reinstate my closed account and restore the full cashback rewards OR Issue a check in the equivalent amount of my cashback balance ( approx. $ XXXX ). 

I am also concerned about whether Amexs practices comply with fair credit reporting, account notification, and consumer reward handling laws. 

I request a prompt and fair resolution. If further verification is needed, I am willing to provide documentation.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint due to the ongoing failure of Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to adequately investigate my disputes concerning inaccurate negative information on my credit report. Despite repeated efforts to have these errors addressed, the credit bureaus have employed delay tactics instead of fulfilling their obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a thorough and timely investigation. 

These inaccuracies have negatively impacted my credit score and hindered my ability to obtain credit, resulting in considerable stress and financial hardship.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
