Complaint narrative:
I applied for a loan with XXXX. They requested the following documents from me to process my loan : Bank deposit screenshot : Please provide a screenshot of your online bank portal showing : bank name, web address ( URL ), your name, and transactions for the period of XX/XX/2021 that verifies the paystub you provided. 

I provided a screenshot of the transaction however my bank does not provide all of the information XXXX was requesting in XXXX screenshot. 

XXXX 's response to the screenshot I provided was : We've reviewed your document, but it was not sufficient. 
The bank deposit screenshot you provided doesn't contain your name or the bank name. Please provide a screenshot of your online bank portal showing : bank name, web address ( URL ), your name, and transactions for the period of XX/XX/2021 that verifies the paystub you provided. 

I then reached out to my bank & they verified that what XXXX was asking for is not how their online portal system is set up. They did however offer to draft an official document verifying all the info XXXX was requesting. 

I relayed this info to XXXX they responded with : Bank deposit screenshot : We've reviewed your document, but it was not sufficient. 
The bank deposit screenshot you provided doesn't contain your name or the bank name. Please provide a screenshot of your online bank portal showing : bank name, web address ( URL ), your name, and transactions for the period of XX/XX/2021 that verifies the paystub you provided.

You can also provide a bank-generated check image from XX/XX/2021 that verifies the paystub you provided. 

I again reached out to my bank to see if they could provide XXXX of the following additional items mentioned above. My bank responded by saying ; A statement has not been generated for the specific transaction on XX/XX/2021 because the statement period is not over. The XX/XX/2021 statement will have the XX/XX/2021 transaction on it. Additionally, a check image of the deposit can not be provided because the deposit was an XXXX deposit, not a check deposit. 

My bank did draft a document with all the requested info along with contact info for the bank representative if they had further questions. I submitted that document to XXXX & they responded with : To complete the application, we will need the following documents. Please log into your account through XXXX XXXX XXXX and upload the following : Thank you for submitting an application to XXXX XXXX XXXX.
