Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address some concerns pertaining to my private information and its sharing by consumer reporting agencies, specifically XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. As a consumer, it is essential that my rights are upheld as stated under the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a. This act emphasizes the need for fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy.

Furthermore, according to 15 USC 6801, it is the policy of Congress that financial institutions have an obligation to respect customer privacy and safeguard their nonpublic personal information. As a financial institution defined under this provision, ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) must adhere to these principles.

Under 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2, consumer reporting agencies are only permitted to furnish consumer reports based on the written instructions of the respective consumer. I have neither provided consent to ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) nor XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX to share my information. Any previous consent, whether explicit or implicit, is hereby revoked. 

Moreover, according to 15 USC 6802b c, a financial institution is prohibited from disclosing nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties without informing the consumer of their nondisclosure options. I was never given the opportunity to exercise this right. 

I would also like to draw attention to the fact that 15 USC 1681C a 5 prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including certain adverse items of information in consumer reports, specifically those that antedate the report by more than seven years. It is evident that an adverse item is being reported without my permission, which constitutes a violation of the law.

Additionally, 15 USC 1681s 2 a 1 a states that it is unlawful to furnish inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies. XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX must ensure the accuracy of the information they provide. 

According to 15 USC 1681e, consumer reporting agencies are required to establish reasonable procedures to avoid violations of section 1681c and limit the furnishing of consumer reports to specific purposes outlined in section 1681b. It is clear that XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX are not meeting these expectations. 

Lastly, in accordance with 12 CFR 1016.7, I hereby exercise my right to opt out of the reporting services of all three companies ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ). 

I hope that these issues are addressed promptly and that my rights as a consumer are fully recognized and protected. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Chase closed my account on XX/XX/2023 without a notice ahead, which caused lots of inconvenience and loss of money to me. I called the company for more information but they didn't give any information and help to me. They just said my account was closed and can not be reopened anymore. I still have over {$3600.00} in my account when closing, so I called chase for the money back. After several calls, they said they have mailed over {$2800.00} to me, but there are still {$820.00} in my account. The {$820.00} was from five checks. One of them was a bonus check from my employer with my nickname on it. Four of them are checks from my friends, with their name on it. ( My friends are new here and haven't got their US bank account at that time. They can not deposit the checks so they asked me for help. The checks were cash backs from their brokers company. ) I called chase again and again to get my money back. The customer service attitude was very bad. They told me that they could call the check issuer to get them verified, and I did give my employer 's and my friends ' numbers to them. But they said the numbers were not verified in their system. How old their system is? The system is totally out of date! I got my employer 's number from XXXX and the company 's website. The company has been several years! It's ridiculous that it's not verified. They can not verify my friends ' numbers as well. Does it mean that they could always keep my money as long as they always say the numbers are not verified? Is that one of the ways Chase make money? All they need to do is say We can't verify your numbers ' and they'll keep holding my money. How unfair is it!

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I saw the Wells Fargo advertisement about opening an Everyday Checking account and receive {$300.00} bonus if I follow the terms and conditions. There was a specific sign up bonus button to use, I was taken on the site and signed up. The requirement is I have to have {$1000.00} direct deposit with in 90 days upon opening the account, the deposits were from my work and not transferred money. After 90 days, I haven't received the bonus and when I googled, it says I have to wait another 30 days because the bank has to check if I qualify which I know I did. After the 30 days, still nothing and so I called WF and I was told there was no promotional code linked into my account. Because I know I followed the procedures and I qualify, I insisted and was transferred to a lady who gave me a request code, she talked to me making sure I understand the terms and conditions which she told me that clearly I did understand, she submitted a request for me to get that bonus. She said it'll take 10 days until I hear back from WF. After the 10th day still nothing, I called the bank and was told it was still denied because I don't have the promotional code. There was nothing on the site that says I should receive a promotional code, I clicked on the button they said I should use to sign up.
