State: OH

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I discovered I was unable to view my US Bank Credit Card reward points. I called their customer service line and had been informed that the bank was closing my accounts with them and would be mailing me a letter as to why. I asked about the reward points I had earned and the representative stated I would not be receiving them. 

Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received the correspondence ( attached in complaint ) of US Bank  and XXXX XXXX XXXX decision to close my 3 accounts with them citing " a thorough review '' was done and " have reason to believe your account is in danger of or is being used for fraud ''. This was the same statement and language used on all 3 accounts : XXXX XXXX ( Opened XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX ( Opened XX/XX/XXXX ) I have been a long-time customer of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and US Bank XXXX XXXX ). The bank has taken the approach to use very vague language citing no specific breach of terms, made zero attempt to reach out to me about any issue they suspected of the account, and has even since closure sent me marketing and solicitations of new credit cards and loan programs which are not consistent with the mailings they sent ( see attached ). 

I believe US Bank 's actions have potentially violated federal and state Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices ( hereafter referred to as UDAP ) laws because : - US Bank marketed its rewards program as a benefit but failed to properly disclose they could use vague language to arbitrarily close accounts to avoid paying out earned rewards - I was led to believe as long as I complied with the terms and conditions I would be able to keep and use these rewards- The closure of my accounts caused sustantial financial harm by eliminating my right to redeem my accrued reward points -This harm was not reasonably voidable since I was not given prior notice or an opportunity to redeem my points before closure -There was no legitimate justification for these closures other than to increase the bank 's profitability at my expense -US Bank potentially violate the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing which required they act fairly to customers like myself.

-The CFPB has received numerous complaints that deal with various banks doing this same thing and terminating, revoking, or devaluing credit card reward points : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I have attached my XXXX Statement showing my rewards balance of {$980.00}
