Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
Upon reviewing my recent credit report, I noticed an inquiry from XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/2022, which I neither initiated nor authorized. I consider such unauthorized actions a direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I hereby demand that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and subsequently provide me with all the requisite documentation proving that I authorized this inquiry. Failing which, I request that you immediately remove this inquiry from my credit report. 

If you do not comply with this request or if the investigation results are not to my satisfaction, I must inform you that I will be left with no other choice but to seek legal advice. I am prepared to exercise my legal rights under the FCRA to the fullest extent to protect my credit history. 

Please understand that my credit score is of paramount importance to me and I will not tolerate any unauthorized actions that may negatively impact it. I expect this issue to be resolved promptly and professionally. 

I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and look forward to your response within 15 days, as is my right under the FCRA.

Complaint:
I was able to get through the application process and receive conditional approval. Unfortunately, they took my own home inspection and used it to come up with a list of unnecessary repairs. They refused to proceed until all of the list derived from my home inspection was fixed to their satisfaction. They refused to provide the XXXX  appraisal at any point. Part of the application process was a {$500.00} charge on XX/XX/2021, which they are now refusing to refund after I finally told them that I had to cancel and seek a mortgage elsewhere on XX/XX/2021.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unexplained information on my credit report. It is now going on 2 months since I sent this notice and I still haven't gotten a response from the agency. It seems my disputes are being disregarded so I am coming to you for assistance in this matter. In section 611 ( a ) it states that failure to investigate the dispute within 30 days gives cause to immediately remove the disputed items from my credit report. It is well past the allotted time period for them to respond so I am demanding that the erroneous accounts be deleted. In lieu of them being deleted immediately, I will be forced to seek litigation for the extreme inconveniences and stress caused by this situation.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I applied on Amazon 's website for the Visa Signature Rewards Card issued by Chase. The website said the application was unable to go through ( I do not remember the exact reason it said ). I was going to try and apply again on the website but I looked at my credit report from XXXX on XXXX XXXX and saw that I had a hard inquiry from Chase. I then have been going back and forth calling Amazon and Chase to figure out the problem. Amazon says that they have no application processed from me, even though the website shows that I applied, and Chase says they never received an application from me. I know the information was entered correctly because it is showing on my credit report. Long story short, Amazon directed me to Chase, who then directed me to XXXX, who then directed me to FTC.gov, which then directed me to y'all. I would like to either have the application fully processed if possible, or at the very least have the hard inquiry taken off since the application was never processed.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ), The Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

( b ) Reasonable procedures It is the purpose of this subchapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter. 

So, at any instance, where there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a deprivation of my rights and a violation of my privacy, as well. With my consumer report, I control what is listed and what is not, and if in the event any accounts are reported without my expressed, written consent, it is considered identity theft. 

The referenced item was previously deleted and REINSERTED and needs to be deleted once more before I seek to take legal action. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 to which there exists liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for XXXX XXXX per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising or marketing

Complaint:
USAA has sent four emails advertising an auto refinance rate of 0.49 % APR. However, upon completing the application and with excellent credit and debt to income ratio I received a rate of 1.89 %. Additional details as follows : I received four emails between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX advertising the 0.49 % interest rate. The USAA site was down on XX/XX/XXXX so I completed my application on XX/XX/XXXX. The lowest interest rate offer I received was 1.89 %. I thought I made an error in selecting the 0.49 % offer so I went back to the USAA email and clicked on the link. I was taken to a landing page where the 0.49 % offer was still available and completed another application. Upon the completion of that application the interest rate remained at 1.89 %. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted USAA to discuss why the offer advertised was not the one received. The call center rep told me that I received their lowest APR offer available. I informed her that the rate advertised in the email was much lower and I would not have applied for the interest rate they are offering. Clearly the lowest offered rate is not the same as the 0.49 % interest rate that they are advertising, and they are baiting customers to apply based upon false advertising.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Hello, Wells Fargo is charging me for litigation fees they have incurred based on a violation by the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The problems are as follows : - the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX violation was resolved by myself in XX/XX/XXXX. My correction was accepted by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and there were no associated costs or penalties. 
- the first charge from Wells Fargo was in XX/XX/XXXX ; AFTER I had resolved the issue. 

- the first time I was informed by Wells Fargo that I was being charged for litigation fees related to this violation was XXXX XXXX. In this letter, Wells Fargo stated that the case was " still open '' and therefore they could not tell me the amount to be charged to me. Keep in mind, I had already resolved/ corrected the violation in XXXX and the case was closed with the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX . 

- On XX/XX/XXXX, Wells Fargo again wrote a letter but this time stating that the case was " now closed '' and sent me charges totaling {$630.00}. 
- I called and wrote to Wells Fargo about these charges and provided evidence that this issue was resolved in XXXX. 

- On XX/XX/XXXX, a Wells Fargo letter stated that I must pay their fees because my mortgage agreement holds me accountable for claims against the property. However, there were no claims or violations against the property at the time of the charges. Further, the dates of charges on the letter had errors and I again wrote to them. There was a new charge on this new correspondence which dates back two years for " attorney fees. '' - In a new correspondence, Wells Fargo again closes my case on the basis that the mortgage agreement holds me accountable for charges related to claims on the property. They failed to explain why one charge was dated back to XXXX. I still do not understand why I am responsible for costs that were incurred AFTER an issue was already resolved? 
This is unethical and unjustified.
