Complaint narrative:
I just received a letter from your company stating that the item I disputed has been up-dated with new information. Well, after carefully looking at my credit report, I dont see what has been updated, and I dont think that was the reason for my dispute. Im a bit confused here. Please tell me what has been updated? For example, has the balance on my account changed? Was the late payment indication on my account removed? What has been updated? If your company cant fully disclose what has been updated, then I need you to re-investigate the item that I disputed. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX  Each day your company refuses to investigate the incorrect item is causing me stress. Im asking you for a second time to please investigate the negative accounts listed above.

I think 30 days should be long enough for your company to complete this investigation.

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Regarding Lack of Clarity and Unfair Charges on Best Buy Credit Card Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a lack of transparency and unfair practices related to my Best Buy Visa credit card. 

When I applied for the card, I was only presented with two options : the My Best Buy Credit Card ( no annual fee ) and the My Best Buy Visa Credit Card ( also advertised as no annual fee ). Based on this, I believed I was applying for a no-annual-fee card. However, I was later informed that I have a Best Buy Visa Gold Card with an annual fee, which I was not aware of during the application process. 

I have reviewed both my physical card and my statements, and nowhere is it indicated that this is a Gold card with an annual fee. Despite this, I was charged an annual fee, followed by a late fee for not paying that annual fee, which I had not expected or been clearly informed about.

I believe Best Buy and Citi should be more transparent about the card options they offer, as this lack of clarity is both deceptive and unfair to consumers. I am requesting the following : 1. A return of the annual fee and late fee, as I was not properly informed about them. 
2. A downgrade of my card to the My Best Buy Visa Credit Card with no annual fee, as initially expected.

I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter, as I believe Best Buys credit card application process needs to be clearer to prevent further confusion and financial penalties for consumers. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

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 XXXX 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: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Pursuant to California Vehicle Code 4456, Santander Financial, as the lienholder, had the responsibility to ensure proper processing of these documents. This failure constitutes negligence and a breach of duty, as outlined under California Civil Code 2982, which governs motor vehicle sales and financing contracts. The negligent delay has directly caused financial harm and significant emotional distress, and I am seeking immediate compensation for these damages.

Statement of Evidence 1. Storage Fees : Due to the inability to legally operate my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, thus it not being allowed to be parked on street property, I have incurred storage fees at a rate of {$120.00} per week from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, totaling {$15000.00}. receipts are handy. 


2. Supplemental Vehicle Costs : As a result of the sever negligence delaying registration 3+ years, thus legally not allowed to drive the vehicle, in direct conjunction with loss of use on original vehicle, I was forced to lease a supplemental vehicle to meet my transportation needs. I incurred monthly lease payments of {$700.00} from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, totaling {$12000.00}. receipts are handy. 

3. Insurance Coverage for Supplemental Vehicle : I incurred insurance costs for the supplemental vehicle of {$2400.00} per year over two years, totaling {$4800.00}. receipts are handy.

4. Insurance Coverage for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : I have also continued to maintain insurance coverage on the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, although I was not legally allowed to drive the car due to Santanders in ability to register the vehicle, incurring costs of {$2000.00} per year from XXXX to XXXX, totaling {$4000.00}. receipts are handy. 

5. Out-of-Pocket Registration/Title Fees : I paid {$2800.00} in out-of-pocket registration and title and late fees fees, which I would not have had to pay if the registration had been processed in a timely manner. THESE FEES WERE PAID BY ME TO THE DMV WHEN I HAD ALREADY OPTED TO HAVE YOU PAY THE AMOUNT. The late fees for the additional years, never would have occurred if Santander properly staffed their offices to receive mail.

6. Loss of Time : The ongoing delay and inconvenience have caused me to lose valuable time from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, which I value at {$40.00} per hour. This loss of time totals {$1400.00}.

7. Emotional and Punitive Damages : This matter has caused considerable stress, inconvenience, and emotional distress. I am seeking additional damages of {$30000.00} for the emotional hardship endured during this prolonged issue.

Legal Basis for Claim Santander Financials failure to meet its obligations under California Vehicle Code 4456 and California Civil Code 2982*has resulted in substantial financial losses. As a result of this breach, I demand immediate reimbursement for the above costs.
