Company: BANCO POPULAR DE PUERTO RICO
State: PR

Complaint narrative:
The clarity of the bank 's e-mail dated on or about XX/XX/year> to the consumer needs to be improved. Key aspects the consumer needed to understand were unclear ; the e-mail from XXXX XXXX XXXX, Commercial Relationship Officer, of Banco Popular did not clearly explain pertinent financial information concerning the consumer. Similarly the e-mail did not clearly explain the reason for the bank 's decision or request for more documents. Also the e-mail had financial and legal terminology that would be difficult for a layperson to understand. Furthermore, the e-mail did not clearly explain the bank 's intentions for the account ending in XXXX. 

Therefore the financial institutions actions are inconsistent with applicable banking statutes, regulations, or policies. Under the Consumer Financial Protection Act, the CFPB has the authority to take action against institutions violating federal consumer financial laws, including by engaging in unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices. The CFPBs investigation will find that Banco Popular violated the Acts prohibition on unfair and deceptive acts and practices.

I had an account with the digital wallet service, Cash App which is part of Block ( formerly Square ), Inc brand. Until relatively recently maybe a month so ago, the account closed by the company and reason stated I as the owner was in violation of terms of service. When attempting to appeal & contact said service to inquire why this issue occurred & how, I didnt receive any further information from them & received the same response as when the account was closed. Also, my numerous appeals were denied & I fear I was blacklisted ( using my personal information ) from attempting to making a new or regaining control of my old one.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> my vehicle was in a collision and was totaled out.

I filed a report to my auto insurance and GAP insurance to pay out the remaining balance on the loan since the vehicle was declared to be totaled.

The principle mount owed at that time was {$15000.00}.

Total coverage our primary insurance check coveredwas {$13000.00} The GAP insurances final payout was {$930.00}.

Originally service contract refund which prorated to {$880.00} Due to negligence from the finance department where I purchased the vehicle their portion of the remaining balance was 90 days past due.

Because of late fees their financial responsibility went from {$880.00} to {$1000.00} as of XX/XX/year>. 

Further proof that they were responsible for the late payment is shown on the check they sent out. The total they sent was for {$1000.00}.

Again, had they paid on time the amount they would have had to pay was {$880.00} While I waited and battled with the finance department at XXXX XXXX I kept receiving phone calls from debt collectors that were sent from XXXX. 

Despite me providing evidence of the police report, the documents from both my auto insurance and the Gap explains the payouts and information of the wreck, and Truist receiving checks from both Insurance companies they continued to ignore the fact that this was a total loss pay out on the loan.

Because of this my credit score went from XXXX to XXXX. 

I need them to fix their error and expunge the negative reports that impacted my credit history.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the handling of my credit report dispute by XXXX Transunion, and XXXX. Despite my efforts to resolve inaccuracies on my credit report, I have encountered several issues that I believe warrant further investigation by the CFPB. 
Background : On XX/XX/2024, I submitted a dispute to XXXX Transunion, and XXXX regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. The items in question were not properly verified, yet the agency concluded that the information was accurate. I am concerned about the thoroughness and accuracy of their reinvestigation process. 
Details of the Complaint : 1. Inadequate Verification Process : Despite my detailed dispute, the credit reporting agency failed to verify the accuracy of the disputed information adequately. The verification process seems to lack transparency and thoroughness, which raises concerns about its compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
2. Lack of Detailed Verification Methods : I requested a detailed description of the verification methods used by the credit reporting agency, including the specific procedures, sources consulted, documentation reviewed, and criteria for validation. However, this information has not been provided, despite multiple requests. 
3. Timeline of Investigation : There is a lack of clarity on the timeline of the investigation, including key dates and actions taken during the process. This lack of transparency hinders my ability to understand how the investigation was conducted and whether it adhered to FCRA requirements.
