Complaint narrative:
I am writing to seek your assistance regarding a matter involving a recent violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by a creditor. As a loyal customer of XXXX XXXX, I value the relationship I have with the bank and wish to address this issue amicably with their cooperation. 

In accordance with the provisions outlined in the FCRA, specifically detailed in 15 USC 1681, the creditor in question has unfortunately disregarded certain fundamental rights granted to me as a consumer. The violations are as follows : 1. **15 USC 1681, Section 602 : Right to Privacy** - This section explicitly guarantees my right to privacy regarding personal and financial information. The actions taken by the creditor have, regrettably, infringed upon this fundamental right.

2. **15 USC 1681, Section 604a ( 2 ) : Consent Requirement for Furnishing Account Information** - Under this provision, it is stipulated that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish account information without my explicit written instructions. However, such instructions were not obtained by the creditor, leading to a violation of this requirement.

3. **15 USC 1666b : Prohibition Against Treating Timely Payments as Late** - This section prohibits creditors from treating timely payments on credit card accounts as late for any purpose. Despite my efforts to maintain timely payments, the creditor 's actions have inaccurately reflected otherwise, causing undue distress.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
We have been paying down our line of credit for years. In XXXX of 2023 we noticed that the average daily balance on which our interest was based on our monthly statements fluctuated from month to month often being significantly higher than the beginning and ending account balance on the statement. Upon contacting the bank I was told it was a printing error and they would get back to me. This has gone on for months and they tell me I can be assured that my interest charges are correct and that this is a system wide problem that they are working on. I am just to trust that the interest amounts I am paying are correct. Their statements are not correct and haven't been for quite some time. We are however paying interest often based on significantly higher average daily balances that are owed. So we are left to just trust their word and not our statements. I can't see how this is acceptable for bank reporting.
