Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have been working on my Equifax credit profile and I noticed there are incorrect addresses on my report. I am writing to dispute the errors on my credit report. I request that these errors be corrected immediately. Enclosed, please find copies of the relevant documentation that support my dispute, including. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. The INCORRECT Addresses that should be deleted are XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX. I am under the impression that it seems as if a company has taken advantage of obtaining my personal address for their benefit. There is a huge risk of having the incorrect address on my consumer report because this could potentially be identity theft. I know that under the following law the CRA has to delete inaccurate information. 1681i. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy section ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. Lastly, see the below where there must be maximum accuracy and unfortunately they are not practicing this law. 1681e. Compliance procedures Section ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Managing an account — Problem accessing account
Company: FinCo Services Inc DBA Current
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I opened up an account with Current ( XXXX XXXX XXXX/ ) and opened up 3 " savings pods '' to earn interest in each pod ( principle amount {$2000.00} per pod ) in XX/XX/2022. 

Current changed their interest earning terms to require a direct deposit to continue earning interest, so I withdrew my funds and closed my account in XX/XX/2022. 

During the time the account was opened and money deposited, I earned over {$100.00} in interest that needs to be reported to the IRS, but I did not receive a 1099-INT by the XXXX deadline required by the IRS. 

My account has been closed and I can not access any information to find it on my own. I reached out XXXXhree times to their customer service to ask for the form and interest information to file my tax return, and each time they said my account is closed so they can not help me or send me any forms. IRS requires a 1099-INT form for interest earned over {$10.00}. Current says they only send out if it's over {$600.00} and only to current members, which is in violation of the IRS rules. 

Attached is a PDF of my correspondence with Current regarding the issue ( they do not have a customer service number so can only be contacted via email ).

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint regarding Citibank 's recent closure of my credit account without notice. I discovered this when I received an alert from XXXX that my account had been closed. 

I have been a Citibank customer for several years and have always paid my bills on time. I have never been notified of any issues with my account or any reason why my account would be closed. I am extremely disappointed that Citibank would take such action without notifying me in advance. 

I have attempted to contact Citibank customer service to inquire about the reason for the account closure, but have not received any clear explanation or resolution. This has caused me significant inconvenience and potential harm to my credit score.

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and work with Citibank to resolve this issue as soon as possible. I believe that Citibank 's actions are unfair and unjustified, and I deserve to be provided with a clear explanation and a fair resolution. 

Thank you for your assistance in this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Failure by Ally Bank to comply with my mother 's Power of Attorney. They are intentionally blocking access to all bank accounts and unnecessarily delaying funds from being managed. 

Despite numerous promises that a representative would call me, no one ever has. 

I always initiated all contact only to get non-specific timelines and kept on lenghty holds just to receive no answers. I don't even know if they ever plan on providing access. 

Other than initial email confirmation that they received my POA and other supporting documents, there was no further communication from them. 

Their initial email stated a 5-7 business day response, but that deadline has since past. 

Their non-compliance is costing money in lost interest by deterring me from moving funds to other higher paying financial institutions. 

This maybe the reason they are blocking access to the accounts. They know I intend to close them.

State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX there was a change in banks that serviced an existing credit card. The new bank " Comenity Capital Bank '', sent me notice and a new credit card, but did not send me their initial invoice. I only found out that there was an outstanding amount when my card was denied at a vendor. Starting XX/XX/XXXX and continuing for several months, I called the Bank 's customer service three times. Each time, the representative told me that the late fees and interest were removed. But after each call, in a matter of weeks, the amounts plus additional interest were put back on the account. I also wrote letters to the bank 's CEO, XXXX XXXX notifying him of the issues and asked him to have someone remove the unwarranted charges and cancel my card. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Comenity stating the credit card was cancelled, but that the late fees and interest were still due. It appears that they are either unwilling or unable to correct their error.
