Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the presence of unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and inquiries on my credit report, which I received on [ Date of Credit Report ]. After a careful review, I have identified multiple accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate, authorize, or recognize. These entries appear to have been added to my credit report in error or as a result of fraudulent activity.The inclusion of these erroneous items has unfairly impacted my credit score and overall financial standing. This matter is causing significant concern, as my credit history is being unjustly damaged by information that is neither accurate nor reflective of my true financial activities.

Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I opened both a checking account ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and a savings account. The checking account opening was associated with a promotion where I would earn a {$400.00} bonus for a new XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and completing the following requirement : Receive XXXX or more qualifying direct deposits with a cumulative total of {$7500.00} or more within 90 days of account opening. 

I switched my employer direct deposit and was going to soon meeting the {$7500.00} in cumulative direct deposits when I received an email on XX/XX/XXXX ( 41 days later after opening ) that my accounts would be closed based on XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX if I did not close the accounts earlier on my own. To date, I had made {$4400.00} in direct deposits and would have had another {$2200.00} hit on XX/XX/XXXX. I would have met the bonus promotion terms within 60 days of opening if they allowed me to. 

This seems like a bait and switch. If they truly wanted to avoid account openings, they could have surely reviewed my account via XXXX within a week of opening. It appears they wait until once it is clear a new account is on track to earn their {$400.00} promotion and then look to close the account to avoid paying the promotion ( using XXXX as a cover ). 

It is also possible that this bank just has a horrible customer service business model where it is part of their policy to avoid fully reviewing account until XXXX months after the account is open ( and account owner starts to depend on that account ). 

Either way, this speaks poorly into the way XXXX XXXX conducts their business and I wish to warn future customers of their behavior. Thank you for your assistance in this matter and helping to educate the public about this bank 's practices.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
CapitalOne hasnt sent me a statement or unlocked my online access so I can not view my card activity to make sure I dont have any fraudulent purchases. This has been going on since XXXX. They said theyd send me a new card so I could login again the card was never received. If they arent willing to unlock online banking they should be sending me a paper statement but they also have not. This is a clear violation of Regulation E and I also can not edit a recurring payment which has resulted in overdraft fees at my bank. I should not be restricted from paying or viewing my information this is consumer abuse.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I bank with Western Bank. I was told that if I wanted to get a credit card I would have to apply on their website NOT in person. 

When I logged on to their website and clicked on apply for credit card I was redirected to Elan Financial Services ( third party which issues cred cards for this bank ). 

On XX/XX/year> I chose the card ( out of all options available which best suited the purpose which was to transfer balance. I filled out and submitted application for a new credit card on XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX In the application it clearly asked me for a balance amount I intended to transfer on to the new card. I stated {$10000.00}. 
After I had submitted my application, the card was approved with the potential balance transfer amount of {$600.00} NOT {$10000.00} as I requested. I immediately called Elan Financial Services. It took them 2 hours to transfer me to appropriate department. After I was transferred to the team member who process applications, i explained the situation and said that the whole purpose of me applying for this card was to transfer balance ( otherwise I dont need that card ). Elan financial ended up running a hard inquiry on my credit and assigning to me a product that I have not applied for. 

To remediate the problem, I requested for the balance amount to be increased as per my application which I had submitted. Request was denied and the agent said that they would have to run a hard inquiry again and further damage my credit score and basically treat it as a brand new application. 
To remediate further, I asked for my application to be reviewed by a human and take appropriate steps to resolve the problem which was created by an automated system that processes credit card applications. My request was denied again and I was told basically, that this is my problem and Eilan Financial cant help me. Automated decision has been made, even though the company processed my application and had made an error they were not going to redress it. I was told there is no way to appeal that decision and now I am stuck with a credit card I dont need ( since I cant transfer a balance ) and my credit score is damaged.
