RE:BBB Complaint ID ********
Dear *******************,
Thank you for the opportunity to address your concerns. We are happy to research and respond to your complaint dated July 1, 2024.
Our records show a loan account was opened with ************************* as the primary owner and you as the joint owner. In our research, we confirmed that both of you signed and agreed to the Retail Installment Contract. Alliant has no record of receiving a request for a copy of your Retail Installment Contract. You may contact Alliant by phone to request a copy and we will be happy to provide it to you.
Alliant previously investigated and responded to the credit bureau disputes you reported in 2024. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires data furnishers, like Alliant, to report complete and accurate information to the national consumer reporting agencies. We are unable to remove the loan account from your ********************** report, as the account is being accurately reported.
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We hope that you find this information helpful. If you have any questions, call us at **************.
Sincerely,

I will also reach out to an attorney if this is not fixed with in 7 business days.Business response

Someone stole/used my PII to open an Alliant Credit Union checking and savings account (account number ********* on May 21, 2024. I happened to be traveling for business at the time and did not see the mail with the welcome account notification from Alliant, as well as the mail that included the pin number, and the debit card mail that I received. Upon returning home on June 8th, I immediately called Alliant customer service and asked to be connected with their fraud department so I could file a report, I was told that was not possible and that the customer service agent would relay my information to the fraud department. I called back the following Monday, June 9th and asked again if I could speak to someone from the fraud department and was told that someone from the fraud department would call me within two or three days. And as of today, I have not heard back from anyone from Alliant's fraud unit. Both customer service agents I originally spoke with did confirm that the checking and savings accounts were closed on 5/28/24, which was confirmed by the statement of account that I received in the mail. However, $635.40 was deposited into the checking account on 5/23/24 and withdrawn on 5/28/24 and the account was then closed on the same day as the withdrawal. To reiterate, I did not open this account, nor did I deposit or withdraw funds from this account. And to my knowledge, Alliant Credit Union has not investigated or reported back to me their findings.Business response

I am rejecting this response because:that makes no sense! I had an account with you guys in standing in 2020-2021. Youre telling me I cant submit an application because I was denied two years ago?! That makes absolutely no sense. Things could have changed these last two years. Thats the dumbest thing Ive heard a bank say.

I have a HELOC with Alliant Credit Union. I have maintained continuous insurance coverage on my home as required yet out of nowhere, I received a letter from Alliant stating that they were going to purchase insurance on my property at my expense. I responded informing them that I had insurance. I told them the name of the insurer, the policy number and told them not to purchase insurance on my behalf. Despite my written instruction, they went ahead and took money from my account and purchased an additional insurance policy. I sent them another message reitterating that I carry all the required insurance and that they need to cancel the policy and refund the money. They have not responded. When I have tried to send follow up messages, their website returns an error message saying that the message cannot be sent. I reached out to my insurance company giving consent for them to share policy details with Alliant. I am attaching my insurance policy jacket so that the BBB can show Alliant Credit Union proof of my insurance, but Alliant does not seem interested in that. It appears to me they created a pretense to take money from my account then charge interest on the money they take so they can maximize their profits.Business response
