Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX for unlawfully denying my application for credit in violation of federal laws, specifically : The Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ), 15 U.S.C. 1691 The Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), 15 U.S.C. 1602 and 1611 The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, 12 U.S.C. 1431 Issue On XX/XX/24, I applied for credit with XXXX and was subsequently denied without an adequate or legally valid explanation. XXXX decision to deny my credit application appears to be in direct violation of the ECOA, which prohibits creditors from discriminating against any applicant on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, or receipt of public assistance ( 15 U.S.C. 1691 ).

Additionally, the ECOA and its implementing regulation, 12 C.F.R. 1002.9, require creditors to provide a specific reason for a denial of credit in a timely manner. XXXX either failed to provide an explanation or provided an insufficient explanation that does not comply with these legal standards. 

Furthermore, under the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1602 ), XXXX is obligated to disclose credit terms transparently and in good faith. Denying credit without valid reasoning undermines my rights under this statute and suggests non-compliance with 15 U.S.C. 1611, which prohibits creditors from knowingly failing to provide accurate disclosures or following legal obligations.

Legal Basis 15 U.S.C. 1691 ( ECOA ) : This provision prohibits discrimination and mandates clear, timely communication of reasons for credit denial.

12 C.F.R. 1002.9 : Requires creditors to issue a written statement detailing specific reasons for denying credit or informing the applicant of their right to request this information within 60 days.

15 U.S.C. 1602 & 1611 ( TILA ) : These provisions ensure that lending practices are conducted transparently and that any denial is justifiable and communicated effectively.

12 U.S.C. 1431 : This section governs federal oversight of lending practices and ensures that financial institutions operate in compliance with public and consumer protection laws. 
Harm Caused The denial of credit has caused significant harm to me, including : Inability to meet my financial needs and goals due to lack of access to credit. 
Adverse effects on my creditworthiness and potential opportunities for future credit. 
Emotional distress and financial hardship as a result of being denied without proper justification.
