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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report by Experian regarding late payments on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I believe these late payments are being misrepresented, as I was enrolled in a deferment program during the period in question. According to my deferment documents, I was not required to make payments during this period, and the late payment status should not have been reported. 

I have already attempted to resolve this issue directly with Experian, but the inaccuracies persist, and my credit score has been negatively affected as a result. I am requesting your assistance in investigating and rectifying this matter. Please find attached the following supporting documents for your review : 1. Copies of my deferment paperwork, which clearly indicate my enrollment and the terms of the deferment. 

I am requesting that Experian immediately correct my account to reflect an accurate payment status and remove the late payment entries from my credit report. I trust that your intervention will facilitate the swift resolution of this issue. 

Thank you for your time and assistance in ensuring my credit report accurately reflects my financial history. I look forward to your response and resolution.

Complaint narrative:
I have tried to resolve the issue between XXXX and now SPS who they serviced transferred to. XXXX never sent my {$3800.00} they wrongfully collected to pay taxes not owed and have had this money since XX/XX/XXXX. I paid off the loan early from the payoff and per diem also owed to me as we as a shortage that didnt exist of {$280.00} on payoff. I have contacted them over XXXX times since XXXX both SPS and XXXX and cant find this money they claim they sent to tax accessor on XX/XX/XXXX per their own document and than the story changed to XX/XX/XXXX to Sps which they claim They never received and refuse to contact XXXX  to resolve my issue. The {$670.00} they did send me was for an ADDITIONAL tax credit owed for my last payment and not to do with the {$5100.00} owed to me still {$3800.00} escrow refund XXXX lost and never transferred with my file {$1000.00} per diem overpayment owed since XX/XX/XXXX {$280.00} no escrow shortage for taxes that were never due to the county.

If I would have owed these taxes actually and not paid off the mortgage either I would have been screwed cause the money is still unaccounted for 140 days later. To say Im frustrated is an under statement. They had someone form Sps call me yesterday without a clue. I just want my {$5100.00} Asking me to wait XXXX more days seems ridiculous {$3800.00} escrow refund {$1000.00} per diem refund {$280.00} escrow shortage collected in error {$5100.00} Thank you

Company: WEBSTER BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I opened a XXXX account with XXXX, a subsidiary or Webster Bank, 11 months ago. I transferred funds from my normal bank ( XXXX XXXX ) to this bank. Now I would like to transfer some of the funds back and XXXX is not allowing me to access the funds. I submitted an external funds transfer request via the website on XX/XX/XXXX and completed the relevant security checks to do so. I was initially told that the transfer was processed, but then immediately received an email that my account had been placed on hold. This was verified when I logged into my account- it said my account was on hold and gave a number to call. To date I have called this number 5 times. When I call I give them all my identifying info ( name, account number, SSN, address, phone number, and security word that I created ). This info has been verified as correct each time. Then they proceed to ask me five questions. They say they can only repeat each question once and I can not ask for any clarification. Questions have included in what state were you registered for your SSN ( which I do not know since my parents would have done it when I was an infant ) or in which county does your address fall ( which is possibly a trick question since my address is in a city which is within a county ). Each time after I answer the questions I am told that I have given at least one incorrect answer, but they can not tell me which one and therefore can not remove the hold on my account to release my funds. In most cases, I am sure the answers I have given are correct, but I can not verify or dispute them. I have asked to speak to a supervisor and been denied, I have also asked to verify my identity in a different way ( such as sending copies of ID or video face recognition ) and this has also been denied. I am told my only available option is to wait for 24 hours and call and try again. My first call was on XX/XX/XXXX and my most recent call was today, XX/XX/XXXX. At this point I am very concerned that I will not be able to access my funds at all. I can see that this bank has hundreds of negative reviews of customers with the same experience, so I decided to file a formal complaint.
