Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I have a joint checking account with my spouse at Santander bank. On XX/XX/XXXX I deposited a check made out to me for {$1500.00}. This deposit cleared and finalized on XX/XX/XXXX, and I have both a confirmation number and an image of the check ( Which had been processed on the mobile app. ) On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Santander Bank to make sure that deposit had cleared and I was assured that it had. Several hours later however, on XX/XX/XXXX, my account balance showed a large overdraft in the amount of that check. When I contacted Santander bank, they told me that my deposit had been flagged for an extra hold time and would not be released for another week. They were not able to give me a reason why this had happened. The check was not for an amount larger than I would usually deposit, The check had already cleared with the originating bank XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) and the money was already being held by Santander. Again, I regularly deposit checks of this amount into this account, which I have held for 12 years with this bank, and I have received numerous checks in similar amounts from the same account that this one originated from. ( the money was a gift from my parents. ) None of the customer service people from Santander bank were able to tell me why this hold had been placed. Because of this unexpected delay of a week in processing my deposit, I am incurring a number of fees, including overdraft fees, and late rent payment fees. Most importantly, I only discovered this hold by chance when I saw the large overdraft on my account, and it took a long time on the phone with several people in order to find out what had actually happened. It is my understanding that a bank can put an extra hold on funds if it determines that it might be necessary. However, it is also my understanding that a bank needs to notify the account holder that this is happening, and this was not done in my case. Nobody notified me of anything, this hold is still not listed in my account activity, and I would not have found out about it if I had not called. I am making a complaint seeking to recover the amount of money lost in various fees, due to the fact that I was not informed that there would be a hold on this deposit, and was, in fact, told the opposite, that the deposit had already cleared.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed several errors on my credit report with each of the three major credit bureaus, including Experian. I have sent several certified letters over the past year and Experian continues to ignore, disregard, and violate my rights. My latest dispute was sent on XX/XX/2022 and it was received by Experian on XX/XX/2022. I attached the certified tracking receipt for reference ( XXXX ). Unfortunately, it has been several months and I have yet to receive a response.Their failure to respond has grossly exceeded the allotted thirty-day time limit, which is in direct violation of my rights. 

I am understandably very frustrated that this has happened and can not believe that the credit bureaus would let something like this go unresolved for so long. I have spent hours diligently reviewing my credit and outlining inaccuracies. I have also spent a lot of money getting my disputes notarized and certified. I have impeccable record keeping and I have been very gracious in giving the bureaus ample time to remedy the errors in question. This delay has put me at a disadvantage and has cost me valuable opportunities that require good credit in order to qualify. 

I am now asking the CFPB to intervene and help me rectify this situation. It is unacceptable that Experian has not responded to my dispute within the required window of time. It is well within my right to request that the items in question be deleted and removed from my credit profile. With your help, I hope to see the items in question deleted in a timely manner. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
