Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
All three major credit bureaus were notified via certified mail and online. certified mail ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and online ( XX/XX/XXXX ) via dispute of a collection account that was being reported that was not mine. We have spoken with the original creditor several times. The original account was never validated back in XXXX with a different collection agency and was removed from Experian. It was then sold and added back to my credit reports and we are now disputing again. The new collection agency failed to properly validate this date per the FCRA and Texas Finance Code, the credit agency failed to properly validate this claim. XX/XX/XXXX - they refused to update this claim stating it had been verified. The most recent dispute asked them to validate and provide their method of verification as we know this account can not be verified because we spoke with the original creditor again on XX/XX/XXXX and again they have no record of me never having an account or an account being sent to collections, that I am eligible to apply for an account. The collection agency also stated they were under no obligation to provide any original documentation showing proof this account was not fraudulent and belonged to us and they would only verify to the credit bureaus.

Complaint narrative:
My business account has been a victim of bank fraud, and check fraud. The first fraudulent check is from XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$35000.00}. {$17000.00} in XX/XX/XXXX. {$700.00} in XX/XX/XXXX. {$5100.00} in XX/XX/XXXX. {$600.00} in XX/XX/XXXX {$48000.00} in XX/XX/XXXX. This fraudulent checks have been computerized made, issued without my consent, without my signature, without any waterMark check safety measures. My financial institution has allowed this check transactions to keep posting. I had advised my bank PNC to not allow computerized checks to be processed since I do not use computerized checks for my business operations. PNC bank, advised me to change account numbers, but I can not afford to do that since my business has many transactions on a daily basis, and I have my account number associated with several merchants, lenders, suppliers, customers. I have been doing business with PNC/ BBVA for over 7 years, but I no longer feel safe doing business with PNC formerly BBVA . As a solution to revolve this very serious matter, I would like my financial institution PNC to investigate this serious matter. I would also prefer for authorities to step and get to the bottom of this very serious matter since its affecting my business operations drastically.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
CitiCards received a refund credit for XXXX XXXX XXXXn the amount of {$4100.00} on XX/XX/2022 from which they have paid off my balance and subsequent charges without my permission. My payment is not due for 2 weeks. When I called and requested them to transfer the credit to my CitiBank checking account that I pay my CitCard payments from I was informed that this was impossible and that the only option I had was to receive a check in 5 days in the mail. I asked for them to overnight my check and was told that this was not possible. 
If I owed CitiCards a balance I would be charged over 18 % interest as well as a late fee.

CitiCards has done this before and I have been told that this was their practice. The refund is my money, and CitiCards has no right as to what I want to do with it. I have looked at my agreement wit CitiCards and I do not see anything that says that any credit I receive is theirs to do with what they want. I consider this an act of conversion, and if this is their practice it should be changed.

Company: General Motors Financial Company, Inc.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX we went to the local XXXX dealership and looked at a new vehicle. On XX/XX/XXXX the dealer started the process for us to get financing. They go through GM Financial. On XX/XX/XXXX we purchased the vehicle and signed all of the loan documents for financing through GM Financial. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I refinanced my vehicle loan with another financial institution and GM Financial received my payoff as of XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX my husband and I each received a denial letter for our application of credit from GM Financial. The letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX. The denial was in regards to the application from the local dealership and the credit score information was from XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX my husband contacted GM Financial and after some back and forth was told that the letter was a mistake but then was cut off. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to contact GM Financial inquiring for the specific reasons for the denial. I waited on hold for 10 minutes and then eventually attempted the text option to inquire for my statement of reasons for the denial. After a half hour I was told I would be sent a Statement of Specific Reasons letter. 

My issue is we received a denial letter more than 30 days after a credit decision was to have been made and we weren't really denied, we got the loan.
