Consumer complaint: The account for Child Support has been on my report since XX/XX/XXXX and has been illegally re-aged, since my recent dispute with Experian XXXX has removed this closed account once they completed their investigation. The other XXXX REFUSE to remove it is past the 7-10 years and account is now closed and court ordered by judge to close as well. 
Under no circumstances should a collection account for a debt remain on your credit report after the original creditor 's trade line has aged off the report. The reporting period applies to both the original creditor and its collectors simultaneously. If no original creditor on any of your credit reports matches the collection account, there 's a good chance the debt has been re-aged. 
The collection agency will simply fix your credit report to avoid any trouble. If the collection agency does n't remove the entry after 30 days, send a second letter saying the same thing and giving the company 10 days to correct your credit report before you file suit against the collection agency for violating the FCRA and report the company to the Federal Trade Commission for illegally re-aging a collection account. 
I have called so many times and was spoken to by Experian reps with total disrespect and very harsh, without even giving me a chance to explain. TERRIBLE ATTITUDES! 
A request that the credit bureau immediately delete the information or I will contact my attorney general and file a lawsuit against the company for violating federal credit reporting practices. Attached you will see it as remains and now the removal status is not until XX/XX/XXXX. NOT FAIR AND NOT ACCURATE! 

Thank youXXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint: I have had a terrible and frustrating experience with Citibank dealing with what started as a billing dispute, but was later revealed to be fraud. They are now telling me that they will not help further, even though they acknowledge the fraud, because of how the dispute was originally opened by their team they will not protect me. In other words, their zero liability protection claims are false in this case. 

There was absolutely no way to know this was fraud perpetrated by scamming " business '' until after the dispute was opened. Therefore there was no indication at all that I needed to speak to their fraud team first. This is not noted anywhere in my customer agreement or in any of the documentation was received. 

Once the merchant provided their " proof '' of the purchase was the fraud discovered. They fabricated receipts and also forged my signature. At this point I contacted Citi again and followed all of their instructions. I even spoke with a security specialist who assured me that the fraudulent charge was being removed and I was not liable at all for it. He also closed down my account and issued a new card. 

Today they are telling me that they misinformed me and they will not offer liability protection. They made an offer of a {$250.00} credit which still leaves me out of pocket about {$500.00} for this fraud. They also made a completely unhelpful suggestion or working with the merchant directly, contacting local police, or even the better business bureau. And these suggestions were made while they clearly knew this fraud occurred while I was travelling out of the country. Not one of those suggestions was remotely helpful. 

I am beyond belief and in desperate need of help trying to not let Citi to allow the bad guys to win and to honor both what they told me and what is posted on their site about liability protection. 

Please assist!

Consumer complaint: Merchant & Professional Collection Agency is reporting to XXXX that I owe {$690.00} to them from a debt they bought from the Original Creditor which was XXXX XXXX XXXX. That debt is way past the 7 years from date of last activity or payment to that account. I have disputed with XXXX, but XXXX keeps coming back that they " verified '' the debt. Upon repeated requests to Experian on " how they verified '', they will not prove how they verified, which is a blatant violation of the FCRA. The debt was mine, but it is way past the 7 year window that it is allowed by federal law to be reported on my credit bureau. I just want it off, not fair that I should be punished for this debt forever. I will take legal action if my complaint here does not get the item removed. 

Company response: Company disputes the facts presented in the complaint
Consumer complaint: On XXXX I went into my branch of US Bank with XXXX checks from the title co to pay of the outstanding balance on my US Bank credit card of {$19000.00} and my US Bank auto loan of {$7800.00}. 
The teller deposited both checks into my credit card account, resulting in an overage on my credit card of - {$7700.00}. 
On XXXX/XXXX/2015 after numerous phone calls to card member services, getting placed on hold in excess of XXXX minutes whilst waiting to talk to a supervisor, this issue remained unresolved. I electronically transferred this amount ( {$7700.00} ) to my checking account. This resulted in my Credit card having a zero balance. 
I transferred {$7800.00} from my checking account to my auto loan thereby paying it off. 
Later that same day the bank reversed the deposit of {$7800.00} on XXXX/XXXX/2015 to my credit card, resulting in a debit of {$7800.00} to my credit card. 
I have called card member services at least a dozen times nobody can tell me where they reversed that money to, or where that money is Requests for supervisor call backs have not been honored. This is missapropriation of a large amount of money {$7800.00} and i respectfully request that you aggressively pursue this issue until it is resolved

Consumer complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/2015 at XXXX I was contacted by someone stating that they had a criminal complaint and were looking for XXXX XXXX. The person on the phone verified my contact information and stated the an officer was coming to serve me the next day. I informed the gentleman that I do not have any reasons to have any criminal complaints against me and said sure I will be here. He then asked " did the attorneys contact you, at which I replied no. At this point, I told him that I did not have time to play games with him. He put me on hold to supposedly get the attorneys and I hung up. I XXXX the number that he called from which showed up on my caller ID and it was listed as the fax number to the Arizona Superior Court in XXXX XXXX - Juror Information. Less than a week after this call I received a letter from GreenTree Servicing referencing a debt that had passed the statue of limitations and was removed from my credit report. The letter was dated XXXX/XXXX/15. Once I received the letter I called the phone number listed and it was the exact same person that called trying to threaten or scare saying that I had a criminal complaint saying someone was going to my house looking for me. I told him that as far as my knowledge this was no longer on my credit report and had been taken care of. I asked him to send any documents that he had verifying the debt and I would look it over with my attorney. Which GreenTree did not. Their letter states that the consumer has 30 days to submit proof. The entire actions of Greentree servicing from the start was deceptive and misleading in nature.

Consumer complaint: SEVEN/TEN YEAR RULE UNDER FCRA GUIDELINES - REMOVAL OF TRADE LINESThree new decisions - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ; and XXXX v. XXXX , XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ( ordered depublished XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) - have changed, clarified, or confused ( depending on your point of view ) the legal landscape in California as to the legal obligations of so-called " furnishers '' who furnish credit-related information concerning consumers to credit reporting agencies. These cases address the obligations of furnishers under federal and state law to supply accurate information, as well as a furnisher 's obligation to " reinvestigate '' a consumer 's dispute. These cases also indicate that, for the time being at least, a heretofore unrecognized private right of action exists under Civil Code 1785.25 ( g ) and 1785.31 for failure to accurately report credit information in violation of 1785.25 ( a ). An understanding of the relevant history is important before one can properly evaluate the current state of the law and the XXXX and XXXX decisions. 
The Original FCRA Legislation Applies To Credit Reporting Agencies OnlyThe Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), found at 15 U.S.C. 1681, et seq., was originally enacted in XXXX. The express purpose of the FCRA was to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt and implement " reasonable procedures '' for ensuring that credit information about a consumer was collected, maintained, and dispensed " in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy and proper utilization of such information ... '' FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( b ) ; XXXX XXXX. XXXX of XXXX. v. XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX S.XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The Congressional findings noted that " [ t ] here is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with of fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. '' FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). However, the credit bureaus do not follow through with any methodology a system that automatically removes an antiquated credit trade line, which leave creditors in control to remove a negative trade line at a later date by simply re-aging the trade line payment history. 
Notice that a positive trade line can be maintained for a ten year timeline from the credit procurement after the account has been closed out. The ten year timeline carries from the date the credit trade line was first reported to a credit reporting agency, or from the date of procurement of the debt. 
I demand the above referenced credit trade line removal based upon the passing of the seven/ten year timeline. And I maintain that there is no further relevancy to the debt being posted under FCRA guidelines. The above-referenced state cases show that the accuracy of credit reporting carries into state court cases as well, whereas a creditor can be brought up on serious civil charges outside of federally protected jurisdictions under FCRA.

Consumer complaint: Ditech ( formerly Greentree Servicing ) holds the second mortgage on my home. I have never missed a payment, nor been late on a payment in 8 years. Recently with the acquisition/merger, the ability to view the account ledger to show the activity and payment processing has been made available. In this balance sheet, it was noted that the payment was not being properly applied on the date of payment. The payment is still processed manually with a paper payment sheet, paid by check and sent by USPS first class mail monthly. The payment stub XXXX spaces for the customer to complete : Total Enclosed Dollar Amount, and Extra Amount to Principal. With each payment made, an additional amount toward the principal is always sent ( even though the mortgage is an interest only loan ). The appropriate amount ( overage ) is entered into the 'Extra Amount to Principal ' box with each payment, and is calculated by using the Total Payment Due subtracted from the total amount enclosed, where the payment amount due is the interest amount due for the monthly payment. Dating back to at least the XXXX quarter XX/XX/XXXX, the misappropriation of funds has been occurring resulting in turn having to expend considerable time each month calling the mortgage servicing company, to have the statements corrected. This was XXXX noticed though, only in XX/XX/XXXX, during that time the misappropriation of funds during XXXX quarters summed approximately {$2500.00} dollars above and beyond the required total payment due ( which all should have been applied properly to the Principal amount outstanding on the mortgage ). At times a delay of up to 72 days forward accrual can be seen on the accounting register ( meaning that a payment of principal in the amount of {$250.00} with a transaction date of XXXX will show an effective date of XXXX ). With an Actuarial type interest rate of 9.5 % the cost overrun which I am overcharged, just for this XXXX occurrence averages approximately {$3.00} per month, that the non-applied principal monies remain in flux. In essence, an over-payment in the amount of no less than {$27.00} has been made in the favor of the servicing company, which is unaccounted for funds.

Consumer complaint: I have home & auto insurance through USAA and, at one point, had XXXX cars on my policy ; never paid late. So, I decided to give USAA a try and apply for an auto loan on XXXX/XXXX/15 to try and build more business with them. After applying for a loan online, I was told that they required more information ( XXXX paystubs and clarification of income ) from me. I uploaded the documents right away and then called the next day and was told they did n't receive the documents. I then uploaded the documents while on the phone with the rep and was then told I needed to provide 2 years worth of tax returns!! NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN ASKED TO PROVIDE TAX RETURNS FOR AN AUTO LOAN!!! Just to play it out, I uploaded the requested documents and was then told they would have to get back to me ... I was still waiting as of XXXX/XXXX/15 when they notified me that they were unable to approve my request for the following reasons : Insufficient or unverifiable income. 
I provided the requested documentation to the bank to include the following:XXXX subcontractor agreements for both of my sources of incomeA recent bank statement detailing the deposit of said income2 years worth of requested tax returns ( XXXX and XXXX ) I have a good credit rating and make well over $ XXXX between my XXXX jobs.

To make matters worse, THEY REMOVED MY NEGATIVE REVIEW OF THEIR PROCESS FROM THEIR WEBSITE!! BUYER BEWARE!!

Consumer complaint: This is my Forth formal complaint, and asks you to investigate the business practices of Transunion. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681 they are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts they post on a credit report to assure maximum accuracy. Without proper verification by their company, anyone paying for reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 
I have asked that XXXX Credit Card XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX Credit CardJun XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX be removed as this was opened as a result of ID Stolen. This has been Removed/Deleted by XXXX and XXXX, however Transunion has been reluctant. My ID was stolen to Open Accounts with XXXX XXXX Credit Card- XXXX Credit Card and XXXX XXXX . Of which I have sent in my Police report and Notice asking these be remove with immediate effect. Transunion 's failure to properly adhere has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681, persons affected with ID Theft 's Accounts must be promptly deleted. I 'm asking them to provide me with a copy of an updated and corrected credit report showing these items removed. Failure to do so by Transunion this forth time will pave way for a suit.
