Consumer complaint: I 'm a victim of Fraud. I am a victim of ID theft. The dismissed Bankruptcies were fraudulently filed under my name, without my knowledge or consent. These items were incurred by company whom I had hired XX/XX/XXXX for help with modifying my home loan. I neither authorized to file a Bankruptcy on my behalf, nor was I made aware that that were doing so. My signatures were forged on the BK paperwork, I would only find out about this issue after this company had gone out of business XX/XX/XXXX. 
This case was referred to the attorney general 's office who suggested I file an ID theft report. Hence, a Police Report with XXXX PD and also a Federal Trade Commission ID theft report for the fraudulent dismissed bks and forwarded it to the credit bureaus. As required by law XXXX of the bureaus blocked the information from my credit report, whereas Experian has persevered with reporting the fraudulent bks on my credit report. In my last conversation with Experian on XX/XX/XXXX, they claimed they reached out to the court and the court asked them to keep the information on my credit report, then when I asked who at the court they spoke to, I was told that it was not a third party vendor. More perplexingly, after that the representative told me Experian will under no circumstances block the fraudulent information from my report and I have to go to court and get a judge to authorize the removal of these accounts. I am absolutely at my wits ends here, as it bad enough suffering the traumatic experience of being defrauded and now as a victim of fraud I 'm not being afforded my legal rights.

I have called Transunion several times, as recently as today on XX/XX/XXXX, but to no avail, as I get transferred from one department to the other and am given no explanation as to why they are violating the FCRA by failing to block the fraudulent information. I am absolutely at my wits ends here, as it bad enough suffering the traumatic experience of being defrauded and now as a victim of fraud I 'm not being afforded my legal rights.

Consumer complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX I used my XXXX credit card to pay for my severely XXXX son 's XXXX for {$800.00}. However when the provider ( XXXX ) processed the payment, they did so using XXXX different transactions and using a name I did n't recognize ( XXXX ). The next month, not recognizing the vendor name or the amounts on my statement, I disputed them with XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX the provider contacted me about the charges. Finally realizing my error, I called XXXX back and they immediately re-ran the charges. Those charges showed up as having been charged to my credit card on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received another call from the vendor demanding that I write a check for the missing money or my son would n't be able to finish the term ( even though my credit card statement clearly showed the charges and XXXX verified them ). I wrote them the check which they cashed. XXXX uses PayPal as their credit card processor and since XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, who has taken the lead on advocating a resolution with PayPal, has initiated XXXX calls with me and PayPal. On each call we have been told that the money is at PayPal but has NOT been transferred to the vendor 's account. As of today, it still has not funded even though on the XX/XX/XXXX call PayPal assured us that it would be funded by XX/XX/XXXX. Because I paid for the XXXX session XXXX ( even though XXXX has only received the money XXXX ), I did n't have the money to pay for the summer session and XXXX removed my son from the program. Because there are lots of other special needs children on the waiting list, XXXX will NEVER get his place back at XXXX. I believe that PayPal has been holding these funds, while I have been paying interest on them, since at least XX/XX/XXXX. Unfortunately, I ca n't afford to float this kind of money and neither can XXXX, which is a small volunteer-run non-profit organization.

Consumer complaint: I am complaining about how XXXX is handling a mistake that they made which is affecting my credit, as they are not making any effort to resolve the issue after several months of attempts by me to get to resolved. All of the effort is on me to get them to fix their mistake. I already had XXXX service in XXXX with XXXX lines. After making sure the service worked OK, I ported my XXXX XXXX numbers to XXXX. In XXXX XXXX, I wanted to add a XXXX line to my Family Plan, where a XXXX line would be only {$10.00} per month, plus the cost of financing the cheapest smartphone ( adding about {$5.00} per month XXXX. I did this in a store. They made a mistake and created a new account instead of adding to my existing account. When I realized this, I called to get it corrected. Instead of moving the phone and service over, they billed me for the phone and calling plan in its entirety, as though I wanted a new phone and a one month plan. Even after XXXX months, that barely comes to {$170.00}, but their billing to me was for a single month of service and the phone. I called again and thought it was resolved. Meanwhile, the XXXX line was working on my Family Plan. Then, in XXXX XXXX, I got a collection notice. I will summarize the rest in saying I made literally hours of calls multiple times, and in XXXX cases got escalated to " supervisors '' that said they understood and could resolve the issue. Nothing has been done. XXXX reps claim that the charges have been " validated '', meaning they did nothing to look into it. XXXX isolates that credit group from the public so there is no way to speak with them, and there is no way to get it resolve. I have sent a written dispute and they changed to yet another collection company ( that is owned by XXXX ), and they are offering no time to resolution nor anyone to contact. After XXXX months and hours of my time, my credit is still affected and I can not make a home purchase. Their reps have no clue what to do, and their hidden " accounts receivable '' or " collection '' group does nothing. This should not be legal, and their mistake should not be my burden to exert such effort for. If I charged them how they charge me, they should owe me about {$150.00}. I am filing a complaint because there needs to be repercussions for this sort of behavior. My only other option appears to be suing them, but with that, there is no record of a consumer complaint. I have paperwork supporting my case.

Consumer complaint: XXXX failed to honor their settlement agreement terms after sending me a settlement letter and my paying them based on their agreementMy account is still shown as STATUS : Charge OFF - Paid for less than full amount, lateThe attached letter from XXXX clearly states that if I pay the offered settlement, my account would be Settled with {$0.00} Balance. Nowhere in the settlement letter does it say " Charge Off, Paid Late or Paid for less than full amount '' It simply states if I make the payments which I did, my account with be Settled in FullThat is how my Credit files should be shown under STATUS. but they are not. 

I have intiated investigations by all XXXX bureaus only to be told they checked with XXXX and XXXX tells them " charge Off '' is the correct status. 

I was either fraudulently lied to by XXXX to pay a debt under the pretense of getting my credit files improved to fix my damaged credit after XXXX years of unemployment from the recession ; or Someone XXXX XXXX that interacts XXXX Credit Bureaus is lazy and does not read the settlement letters. 

Bait and switch, which is offering one thing and then giving the person something else is fraud. I was offered one thing, I paid, they reported something else. 

Please have them change my files with the three bureaus

Consumer complaint: I mailed my first letter to Experian XXXX XXXX, 2015 and about 20 days later I received a letter from them stating that : " we have received a suspicious request regarding your personal credit that we have determined was not sent by you. We have not taken any action on this request. An future request made in this manner will not be processed and will not receive a response. " I immediately sent them a letter explaining that it was not suspicious and how offended I was by the letter and recieved no response. I called them and gave them a list of items to dispute with explainations. They refused to use my explainations ( verifcation and validation ) stating that they were not valid reasons, they would only allow me to say not mine, wrong balance, wrong account number ... After waiting 45 days I still had no response and once again I called them. They said they had finished the investigation and that I should have received the results but I did not and that they would mail it again. They did and I sent another letter mid XXXX asking them to investigate once again and they refused stating that : We have not taken any action on this request. An future request made in this manner will not be processed and will not receive a response. " Experian is violating my rights and the rights of others to dispute and correct errors on our credit reports. Is there anything that can be done to put a stop to there ridiculous tatics? 

Please help! I can be reached @ XXXX

Consumer complaint: Allied Interstate LLC is contacting me in an unprofessional manner. They call me Monday thru Sunday at all hours of the day. Calls come in at all hours of the day and night.

Consumer complaint: I have tried twice to obtain my free credit report from Transunion because i was denied credit and they have denied me access to my report or credit score online. I went to XXXX and i was able to obtain both my XXXX and XXXX reports so that i may begin disputing the inaccuracies on my file and they have denied me over and over again and i have been unable to speak to anyone on the phone or via mail. May i please get a copy of my report already, this is getting so strange I keep answering all of my security questions correctly and they continue to ask for more time or more verification. I do not understand why they are stalling.

Consumer complaint: There is an account on my credit report that is reporting in error. I have disputed this information with the credit agencies XXXX times now and the creditor keeps telling them that the account is valid and therefore is still reporting on all of my credit reports. The creditor is reporting to XXXX credit agency that the last date of activity is XXXX/XXXX/XXXX which is completely inaccurate since I have had no dealings with them ever. Then they are reporting to another agency that I made a payment to them in XXXX which is completely false because I never paid them anything and that they account was opened in XXXX which is also inaccurate since I know this account is well over XXXX years old. I know that by law they have to remove items that are over XXXX years old and I 'm not sure why they keep falsely reporting this debt on my credit report. 

Company response: Company disputes the facts presented in the complaint
Consumer complaint: the caller stated that he has made several attempts to contact me and that I need to call him back asap or legal actions will take place against me.

Consumer complaint: At XXXX hours on XX/XX/XXXX CST I received a call from a XXXX with Bank of America inquiring about my account. Bank of America had already been served a CEASE AND DESIST letter on XX/XX/XXXX ordering them to not contact me further. 

Bank of America violated the FDCPA Section 1692c and FDCPA 15 USC 1692 c(c). XXXX at BOA continues to harrass me, and when I advised the Cease And Desist letter she claims no knowledge. I have on record they signed for it and received it. I also sent a copy to the FTC, CFPB, XXXX State Attorney General and the XXXX Attorney General.

I wish for Bank of America to cease all communication, and it would be in their best interest to drop the chargeoff collection as account is too old to collect upon. Charged off XX/XX/XXXX and WA STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS is 6 years. Bank of America, is a Day Late, and a Dollar Short in this matter! 

Bank of America continues to harrass me, and XXXX said 'We will sue you and have you arrested'. Vehicle was voluntarily surrendered in XX/XX/XXXX and i have not seen it since (as I have moved on). 

Bank of America is now in VIOLATION of the Cease and Desist and is eligible for a lawsuit at this time for violations of the FDCPA and FCRA laws protecting the consumer.

I have signature proof from Bank of America showing they signed for it.

Consumer complaint: I have contacted them to remove multiple accounts from my credit report and they have not yet. It has been over the time limit and they still refuse to remove them. There are accounts on my report that are from XXXX, and the dates on some of them say the last payments were made in XXXX and that is not correct. I only used these cards for a year at the most which would make them closed in XXXX. And that would mean they are XXXX years old. And I do not know why they changed the dates to XXXX, maybe to keep them on my report longer, but that still would make it XXXX years on my report even if it was from XXXX. 
The accounts are XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card accounts, XXXX household bank credit card accounts, an express account, an old XXXX 's XXXX account ( not the new XXXX ). And XXXX or XXXX other ones. I think the total is XXXX accounts that are supposed to not be on there and I 've asked numerous times for them to remove them without any luck. 
Please can you assist me in having them remove this from my report? 
Thanks XXXX

Consumer complaint: PayPal closed my account due to me disputing transactions I did not authorize. They even closed my friend account because he was allowing me to use his account. They will not let me re-open it at all or create another account even after I verify my identity and verify I did not authorize those transactions. I have tried reaching out to higher departments but it is all the same no one will help me.

Consumer complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, I lived in California. I had never paid CA state taxes, and in fact, every year I received a refund. When I married a XXXX XXXX man, the military moved us across country in XX/XX/XXXX ; he deployed shortly thereafter. I had no idea that CA was in the process of incorrectly processing a tax return for me. Truthfully, I felt almost benevolent in that I had not yet bothered to apply for the monies I knew California would owe me. 

They assessed that I owed them {$1100.00}. Not only was their calculation incorrect, but they actually owed me {$350.00}. 

When we applied for a loan, I saw the lien on my account and immediately filed my XX/XX/XXXX taxes, requesting my refund and that the lien be removed from my credit report. The CA FTB can not remove it from my credit report, because they do not report to the credit bureaus, rather it is made public knowledge, and the bureaus access the public knowledge. I did get a letter from the FTB that stated the tax return I submitted on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, 10 days after the lien was filed, showed a balance due of XXXX. 

It is frustrating to see that the lien shows " paid '' on my Transunion credit report, as I never paid a single dime to have it removed, because I owed them absolutely XXXX, and they owed me {$350.00}. 

XXXX shows no status at all, not paid or released, just ... nothing. 

I do not know what XXXX shows, but it likely is n't much better. 

This is an unfortunate error that is causing serious detrimental effects to my credit. I was never a tax dodging citizen as this blemish accuses, rather someone who was overwhelmed by the new responsibilities of being a XXXX wife, and thinking I had nothing to worry about, as I knew, rightfully so, that I owed no money. 

If there is anything at all that can be done to assist me in this matter, I am immensely grateful for your support and action. 
Sincerely, ( you wanted no personal identifiers, so I will say XXXX Wife )

Consumer complaint: I have contacted them to remove multiple accounts from my credit report and they have not yet. It has been over the time limit and they still refuse to remove them. There are accounts on my report that are from XXXX, and the dates on some of them say the last payments were made in XXXX and that is not correct. I only used these cards for a year at the most which would make them closed in XXXX. And that would mean they are 11-12 years old. And I do not know why they changed the dates to XXXX, maybe to keep them on my report longer, but that still would make it 8-9 years on my report even if it was from XXXX. 
The accounts are XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card accounts, XXXX household bank credit card accounts, an express account, an old XXXX account ( not the new XXXX ). And XXXX or XXXX other ones. I think the total is XXXX accounts that are supposed to not be on there and I 've asked numerous times for them to remove them without any luck.
