Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
It appears that my credit/my file/my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files. I found that under section 605b ( a ) Equifax shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt and it requires the following documents and statement to remove the disputed accounts on my file : ( 1 ) Appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) A copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) The identification of such information by the consumer ; and ( 4 ) A statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. 

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( which complies with FCRA Section 603 ( q ) ( 4 ) which states ( 4 ) The term " identity theft report '' has the meaning given that term by rule of the Bureau, and means, at a minimum, a report ( A ) That alleges an identity theft ; ) ( B ) That is a copy of an official, valid report filed by a consumer with an appropriate Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency, including the United States Postal Inspection Service, or such other government agency deemed appropriate by the Bureau ; and ( C ) The filing of which subjects the person filing the report to criminal penalties relating to the filing of false information if, in fact, the information in the report is false. ) XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2012 Balance : {$0.00} If you feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly

Complaint:
I have been working on my Experian credit profile and I noticed there are incorrect addresses on my report. I am writing to dispute the errors on my credit report. I request that these errors be corrected immediately. Enclosed, please find copies of the relevant documentation that support my dispute, including. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. The INCORRECT Address that should be deleted are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX IL XXXX and there is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX XXXX Please keep in mind that XXXX ( 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) ) makes it clear that I have a right to privacy. Privacy is not defined because only I can define what privacy is to me. ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Under the subsection 15 usc 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) the reporting agency does not have my written instructions to report anything. The code says they need permissible purpose in accordance with written instructions. The credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, Experian, and XXXX ) do not have my written permission and this should be removed accordingly. I am under the impression that it seems as if a company has taken advantage of obtaining my personal address for their benefit. There is a huge risk of having the incorrect address on my consumer report because this could potentially be identity theft. I know that under the following law the CRA has to delete inaccurate information. 1681i. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy section ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. Lastly, see the below where there must be maximum accuracy and unfortunately they are not practicing this law. 1681e. Compliance procedures Section ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
I am requesting that CFPB investigate how Comenity Bank, the servicer for the retailer XXXX, is assessing interest fees on accounts that have balances that are carried forward into the following billing cycle. 

In XX/XX/2022, I had a balance that carried forward. I subsequently paid the balance in full and Comenity Bank has continued to assess interest charges. 

I paid the balance on my XXXX statement in full and Comenity Bank assessed {$2.00} interest. On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid {$2.00} and for 5 days the balance was XXXX until I used my card for another purchase. Comenity Bank charged me {$2.00} in interest on my XXXX statement despite the last interest fee having been paid and the account having a XXXX balance  for 5 days before another charge was made. Comenity Bank is stating that I can't use my card until the next business cycle or they will continue to assess interest charges. 

This practice is nickel and dimeing consumers.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CO
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit

Complaint:
Opened Wells Fargo rewards credit card in XXXX to use primarily for online purchases. Intentionally kept credit limit low due to high probability of card theft/fraud due to online use. Asked Wells Fargo not to automatically increase credit limit for this reason. 

In XXXX, needed an RV loan. At that time, credit score was negatively impacted by ratio of outstanding credit card debt to available balances. Contacted issuer of a different credit card and requested a credit line increase on that card to $ XXXX. It was granted around XXXX of XXXX. 

In XXXX, needed a car loan. At this time, credit score is again negatively impacted by same issue. Contacted Wells Fargo this time to request an increase to the credit card limit. They said they could grant an increase to {$11000.00} without needing to run my credit. I asked them to run credit and provide the maximum available credit limit. They said that they can't request " max, '' but rather need a dollar amount. I said, let 's just try $ XXXX then ( assuming that would be well above their max and the increase would then default to the max. ) Wells Fargo returns that they can only increase the credit limit to {$11000.00}, basically the same as if they had not run my credit. My credit score was XXXX at the time. My monthly income is {$12000.00}. They can only give me a credit limit that is less than my monthly income with that credit score??? I questioned them for the reason. They said I had no experience with a $ XXXX credit card. OK, that is true. I do have over a year experience with a $ XXXX limit credit card, so how about we meet there and you increase my limit to $ XXXX? In looking at my $ XXXX credit card, I don't use it. So, they can not increase my credit limit at all above what they would issue to me without underwriting. 

I need to increase my available credit to improve my credit score and at the same time, I need to keep my balances low so my ratio of debt to credit don't negatively impact my credit score. These 2 goals appear to be diametrically opposed. 

Wells Fargo needs to explain in a very detailed manner how to resolve their internal conflict because they are in my opinion intentionally not allowing consumers to improve their credit scores so that they, Wells Fargo, can charge us higher interest rates. Wells Fargo has a poor track record and here is yet another example of their really bad behavior. 

If they can sufficiently explain themselves, this complaint will be resolved. Until then, I think they need to be penalized for intentionally causing consumers to have artificially low credit scores. Sadly, we are at their mercy.
