Complaint narrative:
I have made repeated efforts to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries on my consumer report without success. These inquiries are entirely unrelated to me, and I am not responsible for them. Their presence has caused me considerable mental anguish and financial hardship. As an identity theft victim, I may have to pursue legal action if this isn't properly addressed. These false and fraudulent entries have prevented me from buying my dream home and adequately providing for my family. The impact on my financial health has been severe. I've attached a copy of my previous letter to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) detailing this issue and requesting resolution for your reference.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My property got reassessed this year by XXXX XXXX. I got a lawyer. I was prepaying citizens all year in advance to cover the extra taxes I knew that were coming. 

In XX/XX/2023 when we got our final ruling I called citizens to inform them. They also sent me an escrow surplus check for XXXX $ ( of what I prepaid ). 

I let them know my taxes got raised. They said no problem we handle this all the time. They told me to send back the escrow surplus check and they would reach out to get the owed taxes, and pay it. Then I asked them to recalculate my mortgage payment so I knew what it was going to be with the increase. My payment went up XXXX $ at this time. 

Long story short, in XXXX, I got served a certified letter for delinquent taxes. I had to call citizens, the law firm, and the county 4 times to get this situation handled. The due date was XX/XX/XXXX, and I finally got them to pay it XX/XX/XXXX, 6 days late. 

I was charged almost XXXX $ in late fees by XXXXhe county. I asked citizens to refund them since they said they were handling it for me and failed me. Those fees took 50 % of the taxes I prepaid in advance. I can not ever talk to someone who can help me at citizens. They always say they will call me back and never do. 

Finally my new mortgage payment went up almost XXXX XXXX From XXXX a month to XXXX a month. Something doesnt seem right. I am not sure they even used my escrow surplus for the taxes due. 

Can the CFPB please help me and my family? I am struggling to get this information, the issue resolved and it seems that citizens does not care about me. I did all the right things. I prepaid. I notified. I trusted my institution to handle this for me. Since then, the stress of being tax delinquent and now this monthly payment is causing harm and duress to my family.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.
