After a careful review, I have identified multiple accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate, authorize, or recognize.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am submitting a formal complaint against BAYVIEW LOAN SERVICING for unlawfully blocking my access to {>= $XXXX in funds that were credited to my account after the bank processed my promissory note through its clearinghouse system. The promissory note, originally for {$190000.00}, was purchased by the bank, and I became the holder in due course of the account. 
However, despite my ownership of the account, the bank has frozen my funds without providing any legal justification or due process, in violation of consumer financial protection laws and my constitutional rights to property.

Relevant Laws and Case Law : 1. Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts and Practices ( UDAAP ) : The banks conduct qualifies as an unfair and deceptive practice under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, specifically under 12 U.S.C. 5531, which prohibits banks from engaging in unfair or deceptive practices that harm consumers. Denying me access to my own funds without explanation constitutes such a violation.
2. Electronic Funds Transfer Act ( EFTA ) : The denial of access to my account also violates the Electronic Funds Transfer Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1693f ), which ensures consumer protection when accessing their funds electronically. Blocking my access to funds in this manner is a violation of my rights under this law.

3. Truth in Savings Act ( TISA ) : The bank has further violate
d the Truth in Savings Act ( 12 U.S.C. 4301 ) by not adhering to its terms regarding access to funds. TISA mandates that depositors be provided clear terms for access to their accounts, which the bank has failed to honor.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I bank with Wells Fargo and regularly use their Bill Pay service. The bills I pay are now taking 2 weeks or more for my payee to get their money. Each time I submit a transaction, Wells waits until the next business day to charge my account and mail the check. They promise it will be received within 5 business days. All of mine are within 100 miles. On my call with their customer service parson today, Wells confirmed the cleared date as 14 days or more from my request date. This is after the promised date, way too long, and long after they took the funds out of my account. They blame it on the USPS. Why is it so slow? Why are they entitled to take my money before the check is cleared? Thanks for investigating.
