chatter2960 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Question:In 2002, Wife got a $1100 signature loan with Regions Bank. When she got it, she took the disability insurance. Her boss cosigned with her. She paid about half of it and was in a car accident that left her permanently disabled. While she was in the hospital, I completed forms and sent to insurance company. Bank said that all was well.Long story short - Ran wife's credit on Dec 8, 2004 and this account showed up as a $670 charge off on Dec 2, 2004 on her Experian. It has been over two years and we NEVER HEARD ANYTHING FROM REGIONS!!! Her cosigner never heard anything from them either. WTF!!! We went to the local branch the next day and talked to people there, more paperwork needed by insurance co, blah blah blah....We completed more papers and received a letter soon afterward from ins co. that balance had been paid to Regions. Regions says that all is well.Ran wifes credit again last week, and now it is showing as a charge off on ALL THREE CREDIT REPORTS!! This is BS.Do we have legal right to sue under the FCRA? Regions never notified us that they had this account as late and that they were going to charge off and report. My wife has had numerous other loans with Regions with perfect payment history.Please advise - I would love to sue them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDon Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 File formal complaints against them with the FDIC and the OCC (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency).http://www.fdic.gov/consumers/index.htmlhttp://www.occ.treas.gov/customer.htmIf they broke the terms of the agreement, I'd say you have a very good case against them as well.

chatter2960 Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Good News!We got the green card from CMRR today in the mail along with Region's response! The branch exec. VP replied saying that the bureaus were being contacted to remove the charge-off status.Finally!! Like you say Doc, it helps to have the upper hand!

chatter2960 Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 My wife got a phone call on Friday from the VP's secretary. She said that they got word from the district office that the CRA's have been notified to remove the chargeoff and change to paid in full as agreed. She said they would send a copy of the letter as soon as they received it.I love it!!! I wish my angry letters ALWAYS got this response!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
