Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/2023 Wells Fargo contacted me to inform me there was an attempt to transfer money from my business account. After confirming it was not me trying to initiate the transfer they asked me to fill out the address section on the wire transfer contact card with my own address to initiate an account freeze which it did. My accounts were all frozen at XXXX XXXX I was informed they would make contact in the morning around XXXX which they didnt so I called them at XXXX. This is when I was informed they had unlocked my account without my authorization and released the money to a XXXX. After much being run around and my claim to return the money being denied I was told if I got my phone records showing that I didnt call In to unfreeze the account and release the funds this would show that the transaction was fraudulent. I got the phone records and they indeed showed that I did not call Wells Fargo. I submitted them as they told me to. I was then informed again that my claim was denied and they were still considering the incident a scam. At this point a requested some sort of proof that this was not an employee of the bank committing fraud which they will not provide. Since I have shown that my account was accessed without authorization the bank had broken its security protocols and unfrozen my account allowing unauthorized transfer of funds.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally notifying your company that I did not provide authorization or instructions for the inclusion of these specific transactions in my consumer report. Consequently, I am requesting that these accounts be blocked and deleted. It is important to clarify that this request is not made in error, nor is it based on any material misrepresentation for blocking these transactions. 
I insist on the removal of all utilization data from the mentioned accounts. 

Therefore, I request and demand that you remove these accounts from my file within 30 days, as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), or conduct an investigation into these accounts. 

Additionally, I am demanding the removal of all non-account holding inquiries that are over 30 days old.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I realize that I closed credit cards after the promotional period. Because the credit card companies utilize credit ratings that because I used a few promotional credit cards successfully and closed these accounts with a zero balance that the credit rating reports are trying to stall my ability to open new credit cards. This is seen that I was denied a credit card with a new credit card company only because I previously closed my credit cards with other credit card companies successfully. Because I have quite a few accounts that I was pinged for this and discredited with a denial of my credit card application for which I lost credit points on my credit score.

I feel they do not trust those who utilize promotional periods and close the account after utilizing promotion periods thus deny promotions to myself when opening a new credit card. This is essentially a credit card scam from the credit reviewers and credit card companies other than just american express : " Our evaluation of the inquiries on your credit report based on the number, type and recency.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 section 602a ), it explicitly mandates that consumer reporting agencies, such as XXXX, Transunion and XXXX must conduct their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers privacy rights. As the consumer, I assert my right, supported by 15 USC 6801, which emphasizes Congress 's policy that financial institutions must continuously respect the privacy of their customers and safeguard their nonpublic personal information. The entity supplying information to credit agencies, classified as a financial institution, is bound by these obligations. According to 15 USC 1681 section 604a ( 2 ), any consumer reporting agency can furnish a consumer report only in line with the written instructions of the concerned consumer. Both the financial institution ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) and the consumer reporting agencies, XXXX, Transunion and XXXX lack my consent and, more crucially, my written consent to furnish this information. Any form of consent, be it verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is now revoked by me. Contrary to the provisions of 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), the financial institution failed to inform me of my right to exercise nondisclosure options. Moreover, as per 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( XXXX ), XXXX, Transunion and XXXX are unlawfully reporting adverse items without my permission, a violation of the law. Section 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A of the U.S. Code clearly stipulates that a person must not furnish inaccurate information to a consumer reporting agency. XXXX and XXXX are thus in breach of this requirement. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681e mandates every consumer reporting agency to maintain reasonable procedures to prevent violations of section 1681c and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes outlined in section XXXX. XXXX, Transunion and XXXX are failing to uphold these reasonable procedures. Lastly, according to 12 CFR 1016.7, I retain the right to opt out of your reporting services at any time, and I am hereby exercising that right. I expect these concerns to be promptly addressed to avoid legal repercussions.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: SOFI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing about the experience that Ive had with SoFi XXXX. Originally I refinanced my loan for a lower rate with SoFi in XXXX. In the beginning, I dont recall having many issues with SoFi accepting my payments online or over the phone. As a younger adult, I had issues such as overdraft fees, etc. however, this never heavily impacted the ease that I had successfully submitting student loan payments. Most requests would post in reflect in my bank account within the standard 2 to 3 day ACH window however, since XX/XX/XXXX, SoFi has not accepted any of my payment request. I had submitted payments online multiple times, and none of them were ever debited from my bank account. For example, so alleges that I made a payment on XX/XX/XXXX and theres no corresponding transaction reflected on my bank statement. Please see the attachment for a supporting image. Determined to resolve the situation, I reached out to SoFi last week about the status of my loan on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX on that day, I had submitted a payment over the phone and I was told multiple reasons why my previous payments had not been processed. Some said that it was rejected by my bank and they did not know why. Another representative claimed that it hadnt gone through because a routing number was off. One told me that it was returned for insufficient funds. On a couple of occasions, I was asked who my employer was. It was uncomfortable, and when I inquired as to why that is important, and whether they would be notifying my employer, they mentioned it was out of curiosity, and that they were not going to call my employer. on XX/XX/XXXX a representative mentioned that there are people behind the process. That is when I asked for an explanation for why the payment Id submitted on XX/XX/XXXX did not go through. That representative even went so far is to promise me a call back, which has not happened yet. Based on the sequence of events, I am concerned about the possibility that I am experiencing the effects of predatory lending practices. I am a minority woman, a target demographic. I fear that Im being taken advantage of and Im submitting this claim is a cry for help so that I can continue to grow more financially stable and pay off my loan without any unnecessary hindrances moving forward. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
I have three loans with the loan lender. I manually entered how much to allocate within each loan because I was paying more than the total for one loan. The allocation did not work and overpaid into one loan, leaving a negative balance in one loan and outstanding in another. I have been accruing interest in the other loan and the servicer has not moved the negative balance to clear out the other loan. If they just move the negative balance I will have no loans and would never have a reason to talk to these lenders again but it's been almost a month with two interest accumulation periods occurring. Why are these guys allowed to be federal lenders if they are punishing the consumer for the mistakes of the company 's system? Why did the overpayment not automatically distribute to the next outstanding loan. Why am I still accruing interest when my loan should be paid off? Why are they essentially double-dipping and taking a loan from me as well as making money from the interest left in my outstanding balance?
