Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> I was applying for a refinance of my mortgage. I completed the application on the phone with XXXX mortgage XXXX I agreed to have my credit reviewed. Loan officer stated I had excellent credit ( XXXX score ). Within a couple hours I was solicited by another mortgage company via text, they seemed to have all my credit information. I did not authorize the second company to have my phone number, ssn or credit information, it was totally unsolicited. Their website site claims that the information came from XXXX. I feel at least its a bad business practice for XXXX to share all my information with the second company, how do I know what they are going to do with it or are they going to keep it secure. At worst I think its a violation of the Fair Credit Act.

State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Despite having a good-standing Home insurance on file with the Bank, I received an email saying that they don't have it and I was threatened that they will use their " All-assuming '' authority to get an insurance which feels convenient for them and it might result in me paying more and worst of all- it won't give me the benefits of a regular policy, despite costing more.

1. How was this email sent to me despite having paying EVERY-SINGLE-PAYMENT on time and paying for the insurance, before time and following the process already?

2. Has Wells Fargo still not learnt how to handle sensitive customer data? Is this a new mix-up where you were attempting to open/modify new accounts in my name as you did in the past?

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.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Complaint narrative:
I opened a account with Ally Bank in XX/XX/year>. Soon after opening this account I began to gamble online not knowing this was against the law in not only my jurisdiction, but on a federal level as well. When I found out that this was definitely illegal, and there is alot of information saying it is not illegal out there, I began investigating the charges to find out if they should have been blocked by Ally Bank. From the XXXX codes that I could get it looks like these transactions shouldn't have been allowed to go through. The most common code that seems to be popping up is XXXX which is used for digital goods, specifically games, and transactions involving skilled game wagering. There is no online wagering permitted in the state of South Dakota. Because of all of these disputes, and there are quite a few, Ally Bank decided to close my account. I was not sent a notice saying it would be closed, I was told over the phone on XX/XX/XXXX that my account would close on XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with a representative on XX/XX/XXXX they told me there was no reason to believe my account would be closed. I tried to make arrangements to pay some payments that needed to be paid because I believed there was still going to be an issue. I purchased auto insurance on the XXXX of XXXX. A payment for XXXX was presented to Ally Bank for payment on the XXXX and it went through. XXXX sent me my receipt on the XXXX in an email along with my ID cards. Then on XX/XX/XXXX the day my account actually did close I also got a email from XXXX saying my payment did not go through due to account closure. I had sufficient funds, and the payment went through but somehow Ally yanked it back. Same with my XXXX XXXX Bank payment. Funds were released on that card as well as my XXXX Bank XXXX. Both payments for those went through and then on the XXXX of XXXX I was sent a notice from XXXX that the payment was returned with account closure as the reason. XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment for XXXX, and XXXX which went through to XXXX, and then I was sent a notice on the XXXX that it failed. All of these disputes I had to file are not my fault and if Ally Bank had been doing their job this would have never happened. I don't believe I should be penalized for their errors.
