Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I received a wire transfer from my father of {$68000.00} to my Citibank checking account on XX/XX/year> that i have been using for over 12 years since my college years. 

I wired {$26000.00} to my company account at XXXX which i have another account and my wife {$18000.00} to her XXXX account to pay her credit cards. 

I saw the wires are on Temp Hold at citibank so i called and told them i made these wires. I also make wires to these accounts at XXXX from this Citibank account once a month. So there was no reason citibank hold these wires i made. I called citibank and told them i made these wires. 

They told me there was no problem and they were going to call me if additional information was needed. Around XXXXXXXX XXXX  citibank gave me a call which i missed because i was driving. 

Around XXXX i received an email from citibank my wires were cancelled and when i called them they said my accounts was closed. 

The next day XX/XX/year> Wednesday i received an email from citibank my accounts will be closed in 60 days and i will receive a check of the balance. 

I believe at closing i have over {$55000.00} in the account which the citi representative did not tell me how much i had which was frustrating. 

I have accounts in other major banks such as XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and XXXX XXXX. 

Citibank put my in big financial stress i need that {$55000.00} in the account which i dont know when and if they will send the check for the balance i had at the time of closing. 

I need help from consumer finance to fasten the process so they send my check faster. I need to make my kids school payments credit cards etc.

Complaint narrative:
Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I have identified multiple errors that have adversely affected my credit score. These errors are not a true reflection of my credit history, and I believe they may have resulted from clerical mistakes, identity theft, or outdated information. I am requesting that these inaccuracies be promptly investigated and removed to ensure my credit report accurately reflects my financial responsibility. The incorrect information has caused undue harm to my credit score, which can affect my ability to secure credit and other financial opportunities. I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency it requires and make the necessary corrections.

Complaint narrative:
Talked to an Equifax agent on the phone about the availability of Two Factor Authentication ( XXXX / XXXX ) for personal accounts. The agent didn't seem know what XXXX was and had to put me on hold ask. In the end, the answer came back that it was NOT offered to consumers. 

It's appalling that any business - ESPECIALLY one of the only three credit bureaus- don't offer this capability!

Company: CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION, THE
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I was charged for a monthly renewal of XXXX on an account that I had cancelled. I disputed the charge because I had cancelled the account and have a confirmation from XXXX that the account is cancelled ; however, the amount was still debited from my account. I provided the confirmation to Charles Schwab in the dispute. Today, XX/XX/year>, I received notification that my dispute ( Dispute Case # XXXX ) was denied and based on the information provided the reason was : " Cardholder authorization transactions for XXXX subscription services. Subscription was activated and billed multiple times with no prior disputes. '' That has no basis into why I chose to pursue the dispute. I disputed the charge because I cancelled the subscription and I sent that confirmation to Charles Schwab. The information that XXXX provided does not dispute that my account was cancelled, in fact it supports that I my account was STILL CHARGED even though I have a cancel confirmation. Though the amount is relatively small, approximately {$38.00}, the fact that the Schwab 's concludes that a subscription service can continue to charge even after both parties confirm the account was cancelled is unacceptable. If this is not rectified, I will be begin the process of moving my finances to another institute as this shows a severe level of care and thorough investigation.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my credit report, I discovered accounts that I did not recognize or apply for. Upon further investigation, I realized that my personal information was exposed in several data breaches as well. I have no recollection of applying for any of the accounts in question, and they are negativity impacting my credit. Per section 15 USC 1681 c-2, any fraudulent accounts that I did not authorize must be removed off my credit report in 4 days! 

These fraudulent accounts are not only damaging my credit report but also causing me significant stress and anxiety. I have no connection to these accounts and urgently request their immediate removal to prevent any further harm to my financial well-being.

A valid legal contract requires the signatures of both parties, and I was not involved in such an agreement. Furthermore, they failed to adhere to the proper 5-step validation process as mandated by the FDCPA. These actions clearly infringe upon my rights under the law, and I am entitled to compensation for these violations. I demand the immediate removal of this accountfrommyrecord.
