Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered that my Citibank account was blocked when I was no longer able to use my debit card. I tried to log in online and realized that I had been locked out. I called Citibank Customer Service and was told that my account had been blocked and would be closed. I was informed that I would receive a letter explaining the closure, or that I could call the XXXX Department or the XXXX XXXX Department. 
However, I never received any letter, and when calling, they did not give much informaion either. 
It is possible that my account was closed due to XXXX international transfers I made to my bank account in the country where I currently reside ( XXXX ). If that was the reason, I understand the banks decision to close the accountbut I still expect to receive my remaining funds. 
Since then, I have contacted Citibank several timesCustomer Service, the XXXX Department, and the XXXX XXXX Department. Each time, I was told that a check with my remaining balance would be sent to the rightful owner within XXXX  days. ( I assume I am the rightful ownerwho else could it be? ) I waited patiently, but I never received the funds. The answers I received from different agents were always the same, with no progress. So in XX/XX/XXXX, I decided to contact the Citi XXXX XXXX XXXX. Unfortunately, their answer did not clarify anything. They sent me : A letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, which I had never received. 
My XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX account statements ( the last one showing a {$0.00} balance ). 
A letter advising me to contact a Citibank XXXX. 

I contacted a branch, but they told me they could not assist me because the account had already been closed, and referred me back to Customer Service. When I called again, Customer Service told me to contact the XXXX XXXX the same loop once more. 

I have been without access to my money since XX/XX/XXXX. I do not believe this is fair treatment, and I am asking the CFPB to assist me in resolving this matter. I just want to know where my money is and how I can recover it.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the continued monthly reporting of a charged-off account with your company, referenced above, which was charged off in XXXX. Despite being written off as a loss and closed, you continue to update the balance and status as CO ( Charge Off ) every single month, as reflected on my credit report through XX/XX/XXXX. This is not only excessive and punitive, but it also serves no legitimate purpose and creates continuous harm to my credit profile. 
I would like to remind you that a charged-off account is, by definition, closed and written off. Continuously updating it as if its an active delinquency is misleading and borders on re-aging, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). According to the FCRA, furnishers must report accurate and complete information. Reporting the same charge-off month after month makes it appear as though the delinquency is new or ongoing, which is both deceptive and damaging.

Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> I was awarded ssdi. The back pay was sent to fifth third bank, an account which had been closed for XXXX years. They accepted the deposit, did not notify me it was there, when I finally tracked it down they charged me {$10000.00} to release the funds. 

I didnt have much choice, as the monies were desperately needed after waiting for almost XXXX years, however this was a retaliatory action on fifth thirds part as the checking account was shared with my ( now separated ) husband, who had declared XXXX and owed fifth third money for a business loan I had nothing to do with. 

After years of trying to work with fifth third for an amicable resolution, they finally escalated it to the VP of operations, who assured me this would be resolved. 

Thenhe vanished. Back to square XXXX, its nothing but delay tactics, theyre hoping j die and this disappears. 

Im tired of the games, they stole money from a XXXX woman ( who now has XXXX XXXX in top of it all ), to settle a debt she had nothing to do with. 

Please help me hold them accountable, if they did this to me they are likely doing this to many other vulnerable people. 

Thank you.
