Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>2022, my checking account with Regions Bank was compromised through identity theft. Two fraudulent checks were issued using my account information and cashed in Georgia, while I was living out of state. I promptly reported the fraud, but Regions informed me that I would need to appear in person at a branch to resolve the issue. Despite multiple attempts, they provided no remote or alternative verification options. 

As a result, my account was frozen from XXXX through XX/XX/scrub> 2022, and I was unable to access not only the existing balance, but also incoming direct deposits from both my full-time job and small business. Regions prevented me from using the account or opening a replacement account to receive funds. 

This situation severely damaged my credit, as I missed credit card payments I otherwise would have made. I came close to being evicted from my apartment, as my rent payments were blocked along with access to my funds. I ultimately had to pay out-of-pocket to fly to a Regions branch in another state to verify my identity and resolve the matter in person something that could and should have been handled remotely. 

This incident has had lasting consequences to my financial well-being. I am requesting a formal review of Regions handling of this matter, and why no reasonable alternative was offered for resolving a verified case of fraud in a situation where I was unable to appear in person.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed several unauthorized hard inquiries and collection accounts appear on my credit reports from Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian.

Here are some specific examples : Hard Inquiries I Did Not Authorize : Equifax : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TransUnion XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Collections I Did Not Authorize or Open : XXXX XXXX Reported on TransUnion & Experian, showing a balance of approx. {$780.00} XXXX Reported on TransUnion, approx. {$650.00} I never opened accounts with these companies or authorized them to access my credit.

I contacted the credit bureaus to dispute these items and began filing an identity theft report with the FTC. Despite this, the items remain on my credit.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
