Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Our account was frozen on XX/XX/XXXX after wiring {$50000.00} to pay the title company for closing costs on our first home. My husband and I called XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. The XX/XX/XXXX call was with XXXX, from XXXX. Told me to call back in 35 minutes when the department that handles my concerns opens. Called back an hour later and spoke with XXXX, XXXX XXXX to see if direct deposits from our employers were still being accepted because it wasn't showing up and it usually shows up. She confirmed that our direct deposits should be going through and transferred me to a specialist. Specialist was XXXX, who said that we can not receive our paychecks directly deposited into our accounts. Had a nearly identical conversation to the one I had on XX/XX/XXXX. I was asked to verify my identity via my phone number, placed on hold. 

We feel unsafe and vulnerable after the biggest financial event in our lives so far. I was also surprised that Marcus and Goldman Sachs REFUSES to be more transparent as to why they can not verify our identity without us taking time off work and doing free labor for them via a notarized certificate of identity - the representatives refused to share with us what the concerns are with our account, refused to let me speak to a supervisor, and refused to offer any explanations. Therefore I am asking the CFPB to put Goldman Sachs in their place
