Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I deposited {$110.00} into Citibank ATM. The ATM didnt deposit the money. After I realize the money didnt deposit into my bank I re-printed a receipt of my account and realize that reprinted money was not deposited. I then printed out another paper to see if it was deposited and it still wasnt. I tried getting help from a banker, but the bank was closed when I was there and the next day a hurricane was coming so the bank was not gon na be open. So I called Citibank to do an investigation and they didnt check the cameras but told me that they will not be reimbursing the money to me. I attempted again to reopen the case to get my money back, but they told me its less likely for a different result. I then told the person on the phone that I did it in front of a camera and they told me that the investigation doesnt include looking into the actual camera, but I put {$110.00} into the ATM in Citibank and did not get the deposit.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
My parents wrote me and my wife a check in XXXX for getting married. We then tried to cash the check into our Ally account towards the end of XXXX since we had forgotten about it. Turns out my parent 's account had closed since then. 

Ally restricted our account because they viewed the check as suspicious. They also will not talk to me because I am not the one who caused the account to be restricted. However they have been restricting my account as well. We have called so many times and have been told that if we get the check writer to call them they will resolve it. 

We have gotten the check writer to call and she has been told the issue has been resolved. This is a lie, they just lied to her to get her off the phone. Nothing has been resolved, they have lied to the check writer, and they will not talk to me even though my account has been restricted.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion for their failure to comply with my rights as outlined under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 605C, which provides protections to survivors of XXXX XXXX. I am a XXXX and victim of XXXX XXXX, and TransUnion has failed to appropriately address adverse information in my credit report that is a result of the circumstances of my trafficking experience. 

FCRA Section 605C specifically mandates that credit reporting agencies must block adverse items of information in a credit report when the information is a result of XXXX XXXX or related situations. Despite my attempts to inform TransUnion of my status and the relevant legal protections, they have not taken the necessary actions to remove the harmful information from my credit report. This failure to act is a clear violation of my rights under federal law. 

As per the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to respond within four business days after receiving proper documentation from a XXXX. I have submitted documentation in accordance with the requirements of Section 605C, but TransUnion has not fulfilled its legal obligation to block or remove the adverse information. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and ensure that TransUnion is held accountable for violating my rights as a trafficking survivor. The agencys refusal to act is causing undue harm to my financial wellbeing and is exacerbating the trauma I have already endured. 

Enclosed, please find copies of all relevant documentation, including communications with TransUnion and evidence of my status as a victim and XXXX  of XXXX XXXX.

I requested the contract containing my signature, that shows any disclosure being shared with me as to any actions that were to take place at all stages of the agreement and thereafter. I also requested for the information that was not disclosed to me and agreed by me to be removed from my consumer report. I requested that all information containing credit transactions with regard to any particular creditor or debt collector be removed as it is not to be shared accept were allowed within certain circumstances according to US Codes. I requested were disregarded, and all information remains in my report, even though I have disputed this information for the last XXXX years and it has always came back as being verified and allowed. I have shared with them the US Codes pertaining to my complaint and they were also disregarded as if these companies know that nothing will happen to them even if they commit fraud and identity theft to make money by way of a consumer credit transactions using my social security number, which is a credit card according to 15 US Code 1602 ( l ). I stated to them that they were intentionally overlooking these complaints because if they were corrected as required by law, that this would affect their ability to make money from an account that must be removed. This knowingly and willful fraudulent activity should not be allowed. This is why the Fair Credit Reporting Act was created. And it is amazing that because they are a big corporation, they are allowed to get away with fraudulent activities, but if an individual commits fraud, even by accident, they are held accountable and put in jail. This causes the people to lose faith in the banking system and will at some point be the downfall of the banking system if it is not corrected.
