Consumer complaint received 2024-05-28 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the 4th Amendment. I believe that my personal information has been mishandled, leading to a breach of privacy and potential harm to my financial well-being. 

Firstly, I have reason to believe that my FCRA rights have been violated due to inaccurate information reported by a credit reporting agency. The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate and up-to-date information about consumers, and that consumers have the right to dispute any inaccuracies. I have discovered several errors in my credit report, including incorrect account balances and outdated information, which have adversely affected my creditworthiness. Despite my repeated attempts to rectify these errors, the credit reporting agency has failed to take appropriate action, thereby violating my FCRA rights. 

Furthermore, I suspect a violation of my 4th Amendment rights in relation to unauthorized access and use of my personal information. I have reason to believe that certain entities have obtained and utilized my personal data without my knowledge or consent. This unauthorized access to my information not only infringes upon my right to privacy but also exposes me to potential identity theft and financial harm. I am deeply concerned about the potential consequences of this violation and the lack of safeguards in place to protect consumers ' sensitive information. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau thoroughly investigate this matter to ensure that my rights under the FCRA and the 4th Amendment are upheld. I urge you to take appropriate action against the credit reporting agency responsible for the inaccurate reporting and the entities involved in the unauthorized access and use of my personal information. 

Additionally, I would appreciate any guidance or assistance you can provide in rectifying the inaccuracies in my credit report and safeguarding my personal information from further misuse. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will diligently work towards resolving this violation and protecting consumers ' rights. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I deposited a {$30000.00} check at Citibank drawn from XXXX XXXX into my regular checking account on XX/XX/2024. This was not a personal check or a check from a regular business. It was drawn from an investment account from a well-known investment company. Only {$5000.00} was made available initially. I tried to call the XXXX number to speak to an officer and only was connected to a call center in the XXXX. They refused to help me and informed me that I had to go into a branch. After waiting for a few more days, the total available amount was increased. I have been waiting for the balance of {$18000.00} since the XXXX of XXXX. 

I have never overdrawn my account, which has been opened for years, nor had a deposit returned, and none of the indicia for holding my funds for so long existed. 

On Friday before XXXX XXXX, I went to the Citibank Branch on XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX and was told by an XXXX that the funds would be released that day as he was able to expedite the release for one more day. 

It is now XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the funds have still not been released. I am left in the dark, receiving no information. This situation has left me feeling deceived, either by the bank officer or the customer service representative. I am deeply frustrated by this lack of transparency and the delay in resolving this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to XXXX and XXXX XXXX, Missouri Laws Dear LMMINC, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and identity fraud laws, specifically Missouri 's statutes on identity theft and fraud.

It has unequivocally come to my attention that LMMINC has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

Additionally, Missouri state law, particularly Section 570.223 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, underscores the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information, aligning with the protections afforded under the FCRA.

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for LMMINC to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws.

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that LMMINC immediately cease any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Missouri state law. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws.

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that LMMINC will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws.
