Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have been a XXXX XXXX  customer of Citizens Bank NA for over four years. I have been fleeced of exorbitant accessed fee 's, some of which are a direct result of their bad banking practices by adding unneeded " services '' to my business account without my knowledge or consent. For example, for the past three years, I was being charged {$20.00} a month for business invoicing... I do not utilize any other invoicing other than those generated through XXXX XXXX thus Citizens Bank was bilking me for {$20.00} a month for four years - that is {$960.00} for which they never credited me back even after admitting their mistake. I have been victim to their re ordering of transactions and allowing direct debits on the account by XXXX for which I never set up a direct ACH payment on this account. Those multiple attempts to process ( over XXXX ) cost me {$39.00} per attempt and another {$30.00} by citizens in OD 's. That is a total of {$1300.00}. I have attached the statements reflecting my deposits over the past four years, the amount deposited along with annual fee 's charged by citizens on said account for that calendar year. To date that number is over {$13000.00}. It is not only unlawful but so unscrupulous. Please review the attached. I have reached out numerous times to my bank manager ( who is amazing ) to the dept of the chair with zero resolve or results. I continue to bleed money in a bad economy, as a single mother with a child in college so I need every XXXX I earn. I'm not here to be a victim of a fleecing institution who could care less about their customers. Thank you in advance for your attention to this serious matter. Citizens is literally bankrupting me a little bit at a time, look at the overall big picture of four years. Thanks

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, Capital One sent me a notice that told me they were closing my account ending in XXXX. The only reason they gave is " this or another account is not consistent with our expectations for account usage and violates the Capital One Customer Agreement ''. I did not violate the Customer Agreement and this is discrimination. They are not allowed to close my account because it doesn't meet expectations for account usage. The notice said " Please stop using this account immediately and destroy any cards and checks associated with it ''. They advised me in this notice I am responsible for any balance there is. 

This is discrimination against me as a consumer and is in violation of 15 USC 1691 for closing my credit card account and denying me credit when applicant, myself, was in good faith and exercised my right. This is also in violation of 15 USC 1642, USC 1681, and 12 CFR 1002a, a creditor shall not refuse to grant an individual account to a creditworthy applicant. Capital One violated 15 USC 1691d ( 2 ) ( B ) because they took adverse action against applicant and they did not give proper written notification of adverse action which discloses proper information as stated in this law. They also violated 15 USC 1691d ( 3 ) because they did not provide a statement of reasons for the adverse action taken that contains SPECIFIC reasons for the adverse action taken. 

I sent two notices to Capital One requesting detailed information on why they turned off my credit card account and what exact part of the Customer Agreement they claim I violated. I did not receive any notice or information with my requests. Capital One ignored both notices. The first notice I sent them was on XX/XX/XXXX and the second notice was on XX/XX/XXXX. The second notice I also send an affidavit of fact to them along with an invoice for them to reimburse me for damage caused and penalties for violating my rights. As of today they have not responded. I am seeking my credit cards be opened again and usage immediately and my billed invoice be paid to me by check within 10 business days of them receiving this complaint.

Complaint narrative:
I noticed that 1 week ago, my credit score has dropped by a lot. My credit score used to be a very good score and it just decreased. I found a credit account called JPMCB Card. I saw that it was opened in XX/XX/XXXX by using my personal information without my authorization, which affects my credit score. I never created it or used it so I contacted the company, JPMCB at XXXX on Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX, at around XXXX XXXX. The guy I spoke to transferred the line to the fraud department and they promised to investigate it and try and close it. Though, it still appears to be there. Yesterday, XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX department and Ive been told that this credit account, JPMCB, doesnt appear in their system and they couldnt do anything to help. I also wanted to let you know that Ive experienced fraud once before with my debit card. Im worried that my personal information was leaked since then. I appreciate your support.

On XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
