Consumer complaint received 2025-07-22 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Other banking product or service
Issue: Closing an account — Fees charged for closing account
Company: UMB FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
After requesting that my funds be transferred to another XXXX XXXX Account ( HSA ) XXXX, I closed my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( UMB Bank is the account custodian ). During the pendency of this request, I received an email from XXXX informing me of the opportunity to close my account. I took advantage of this opportunity and closed my account. 

It appears that this was a fraudulent attempt to collect the account closing fee, as I had specifically requested a transfer of account funds to a new custodian. I attempted to seek reimbursement of this fraudulent fee, but my request was denied. Notably, there was no mention of the fee at the time of account closure, which makes this situation particularly deplorable.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this complaint regarding a debt account that is inaccurately reported and was collected through unlawful practices in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Issue # 1 Inaccurate Credit Reporting The original creditor is reporting the account as open, even though the debt has been sold or transferred to a third-party collection agency. This is misleading and inaccurate, as the original creditor no longer owns the debt. Under the FCRA, all data reported to credit bureaus must be accurate and not misleading. An account can not remain marked open once it has been sold it must be closed or updated appropriately. 

This inaccurate status unfairly inflates my debt-to-credit ratio and misrepresents my financial obligations. 

Issue # 2 Illegal Collection Conduct and Third-Party Disclosure The collection agency associated with this account has violated federal law multiple times : They repeatedly contacted my husband, disclosing the existence and details of the debt, which is a clear violation of the FDCPAs third-party contact rules. 
They threatened legal action during these third-party calls, stating they were planning to sue me which is both misleading and illegal when communicated to someone other than the debtor. 
They have called multiple times a week, even after speaking with my husband, amounting to harassment and excessive third-party communication. 

These actions have caused me emotional distress and represent a serious breach of consumer protections under federal law. 

I am prepared to provide further documentation and phone logs to support this complaint upon request. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am attaching a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX  ) as evidence of my claim. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as a result of such theft within four ( 4 ) business days. 
The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : NAME / ACCOUNT NUMBER : XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX - XXXXXXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately blocked from my credit report. This block should remain in effect for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported. 
I have contacted Experian multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive resolution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely affecting me as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my economic growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm. 
These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit agencies, so I do not understand why this agency continues to assert that these accounts belong to me. 
I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than 60 days, I have not received any response. I respectfully request your assistance in removing these accounts immediately.

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit reports with all three bureaus, I see that there is a collection account that has been added to my credit reports. I have no knowledge of this collection account and I have never had an account with the original creditor. This account was opened due to the result of identity theft and my information being exposed in the XXXX Equifax Data Breach. Upon reaching out to the debt collector asking for them to furnish me with the contract bearing my signature they failed to provide me with that information as well as proof of validation. I have reached out to all three bureaus asking for the method of verification as well as the contract of sales bearing my signature and was told that they can not provide me with this information, therefore this collection account needs to be removed immediately due to the failure to conduct a thorough investigation of this account. 
The account listed below needs to be removed immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # ( Partial ) XXXX
