Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
The above referenced account is currently reporting to my XXXX credit report as a charge-off but also reports a current balance owed. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 623 ( a ) ( 2 ), creditors are required to promptly update the account balance to {$0.00} after the sale of a debt.

Barclays Bank is in violation of the FCRA by reporting this inaccurate and conflicting information to my XXXX credit report. Barclays has continued to incorrectly update the status of this debt as past due with a balance owed of {$4300.00}. This debt was sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and payment arrangements were made directly with the collection agency. The collection account from XXXX XXXX XXXX did not appear on my credit report because payment was arranged directly with that firm. Barclays is also listing the charged off amount as {$3500.00} on the same report that says the balance owed is {$4300.00}. There is an obvious discrepancy with the amounts and account status. Barclays and XXXX refuses to delete this inaccurate and inconsistent information from my XXXX credit report. XXXX and XXXX has already removed the discrepant account information. This inaccurate account reporting is also adding an incorrect credit utilization rate of 110 % to my credit report. Please see attached XXXX reports showing the conflicting reporting by Barclays.

Complaint:
I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

I fell behind on payments by about XXXX months. The company had me on a payment plan to help but the payments were still too much. I was given an offer of XXXX XXXX interest and the they close the account or make a one time payment to keep the card. So I made a one time payment of {$1100.00} on XX/XX/2022 to keep the card open. To my surprise credit karma alerted me that my card was closed as of XX/XX/2022. I contacted discover about a week ago to complaint about this and have my card opened or the interest brought down to XXXX % since they closed my card. I received no resolution even though I threaten to report this udap violation. To this day Im still stuck at a higher interest rate with a closed card Im forced to make payments on even though I am still recovering from my financial hardship.

Complaint:
This is XXXX XXXX XXXX and not a credit repair company -Bankruptcy chapter XXXX XXXX U.S. Bankruptcy Court XX/XX/XXXX -Bankruptcy chapter XXXX XXXX XXXX bankruptcy court XX/XX/XXXX, I have asked more than 3x for a response as to how this information was verified and whom did they speak to? I have submitted proof from the Us Babkruptcy court stating they do not furnish bankruptcy, judgments or liens to the credit bureaus. The FCRA states " I have the right to a complete and accurate credit report, and any errors must be deleted. 
I have exhausted my options with no result. 

-Original creditor XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$170.00}, The fcra states I have the right to a accurate and complete credit report. This account on my credit report is inaccurate and has incomplete information as to whom the creditor is, which makes this account inaccurate. I have demanded that this account be removed from my credit report because it has caused unwanted derogatory marks, causing my creditor score to be lower. 

-Capital XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX This account has reported inaccuracies and i demanded it be deleted. The open dates has XX/XX/XXXX transunion, XX/XX/XXXX experian, XX/XX/XXXX equifax which shows different opening dates which are inaccurate, XXXX reports no data for the history of payments, XXXX reports the account being charged off, Equifax reports the account as OK. There can not be 3 different reports for the same account. The reporting data has must to match to be accurate. Thus making this account inaccurate and I demand that this be deleted. 

XXXX Bank XXXX XX/XX/XXXX this account is reporting inaccurate date to my credit report and causing derogatory marks, which in turn is lowering my credit score. 
You are report my account as charged off. XXXX is reporting this account with no data. XXXX is reporting as charged- off and equifax is reporting as OK. All 3 credit bureaus must rert accurate data. XXXX, XXXX and equifax can not report different payment data. It has to match. The date of last activity is different from transunion XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax XX/XX/XXXX. The correct opening date can not be determined because it does not match, therefore this is inaccurate. I demand that it be removed from my credit report.

Complaint:
FDCPA 807 ( 8 ) This is a law the companies are required to contact the credit bureaus on my behalf, and to make sure they add a sentence to my credit report within 30 days that says I have disputed the negative item in question. By law, they must do it within 30 days and they will be liable to me for damages of up to {$1000.00} per occurrence. I have proof that XXXX XXXX did not get in touch with Credit Bureaus within 30 days that I had disputed a negative item that they provided on my credit file. Experian knows they should have deleted this entry after I had contacted them about this negative item on my report. They also had 30 days to provide the statement that I, the consumer had disputed this negative item to them as well. The problem is that Experian is still trying to re-investigate this situation when they know they should delete the item from my credit report because XXXX XXXX has broken the FDCPA law. This dispute was reported in the month of XXXX 2017 and now it is XX/XX/XXXX but in XX/XX/XXXX is when Experian wants to provide the statement that I disputed this negative item on my report. It 's too late to provide this statement because it 's been after the 30 days time frame. They do n't need to re-investigate anything, just remove the negative from my credit report file. The XXXX XXXX and XXXX have removed this negative it from my credit report because of the 30 days time frame. I have proof that both Experian and XXXX XXXX XXXX have broken the FDCPA law.

Complaint:
hello I recent went looking to purchase a vehicle and told the dealerships that I would be getting financed through my credit union so I needed a bill of sale for that purpose. They asked for my information and proceeded to tell me that the have banks that would compete with my credit union for the financing. I declined next thing I know I check my credit report and there were 33 inquiries on my report. This is fraud I did not tell them to run my credit and I wasn't even at the dealership wen these inquiries were taken place.I went 2 3 dealerships and they all did the same thing. this has to be illegal. They should not be able to do this. I called the dealerships and complained and was told that they were trying to get me a better interest rate. I told them I was no longer interested in the vehicle and I gave them all bad reviews online and also filed a report and had to lock my credit report.

Complaint:
I had a XXXX card Mastercard. I canceled it in person years ago. Apparently they didn't cancel it and the money for auto renew kept being taken from my account and I didn't notice as it was only XXXX a year. The original bank that held the card got bought out by capital one. They activated a new line of credit without my approval. This has damaged my credit as they also charged a new bjs membership and it went deliquent. When we tried to explain and requested they take the deliquent reporting off they said they may do something after 90 days. This puts me in jeopardy of not getting a good loan on a roof replacement caused directly by them when I have no other derogatory remarks on my credit history. It took them over an hour to even accept it might be a fraudulent zombie account. They kept stating it isn't fraud because I agreed to a Mastercard in XXXX. The original card expired in XXXX and I have never seen any other card.
