Full Complaint:
This is a formal complaint against Usaa Savings Bank located in XXXX XXXX, TX. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act as well as the Fair Credit Billing Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. For starters, they’re reporting an erroneous & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I’ve asked for proof of claim and in which they have not been able to provide, per the FCRA & FCBA. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for several months now, Usaa Savings Bank has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I am well aware of several other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business practices. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company ‘s unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a Professional and as an individual. Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.
