Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
There are two accounts and some inquiries on my report that after contacting the company and trying to get more information they were unable/refused to give me info to verify the account because whoever set up the account used information that I don't know outside of my personal information so they said i had to file a ftc report . Not sure how its to protect me if I am telling them that I am me and i never set the accounts up. I have attached a copy of the Identity Theft report as well as copy of my ID. The accounts that are fraudulent are as follows : XXXX XXXX Mortgage Companies inquired on XX/XX/2022 . 
The only thing that makes sense is someone at the lending company misused my info because I was preapproved when i purchased my home so I never gave my info to have them to check for financing. When I called the lender they confirmed they never tried to run my credit because I had a preapproval that covered the cost of the home. 

With that being said, inquiry law that applies here is 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( B ) ( i ) ( 3 ) To credit reporting agency The inquiry was not authorized. 
Did not consent to unauthorized inquiry.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA
Product: Credit card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, there was unauthorized activity on my card in XXXX XXXX, over an hour from my home. The charges included XXXX rides and a visit to a place called XXXX XXXX, totaling a staggering {$7000.00} for a single night. Following Chase 's instructions, I promptly filed a police report and submitted my phone records for that day, even though they claimed I received and responded to an SMS, which I can confirm I never did. 
This whole ordeal needs to be clarified because the case seemed prematurely closed without thoroughly reviewing the documentation I provided. In fact, the case was closed on two separate occasions and needed more consideration. I had to proactively inform them that I had spoken to someone in the fraud team and clarified that I was awaiting my phone company to send me my phone records via mail. Furthermore, they closed the case again when I explained that I was assisting a family member overseas and couldn't file the police report until my return to the United States. 
I've diligently followed every step they requested, offering clear evidence that I was not responsible for these transactions. Despite my efforts, my case was closed without a satisfactory resolution.

State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
I am submittig this CFPB Complaint to bring a concerning matter to Equifax 's attention, as it has had a severe impact on my creditworthiness. It has come to my notice that there are accounts that are only reporting on my Equifax Credit Bureau, and the information being reported is outdated and misleading. I have not been able to find any traces of these accounts with other credit bureaus, which raises questions about the accuracy of this reporting. The following accounts are erroneous and should be removed for erroneous and misleading reporting : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am deeply troubled by the inclusion of these accounts on my Equifax credit report, as the information Equifax presented are inaccurate and does not reflect my current financial status. I have diligently reviewed my credit reports from other major credit bureaus, and these accounts are notably absent from their records. This inconsistency raises significant concerns about the legitimacy of the information being reported only on Equifax.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
Audi Financial Services provided a deceptive account statement, recorded my bankruptcy reaffirmation and then shut down access to online payments as well as discontinued sending additional billing statements. 

Please see the attached last billing statement that reflects 59 payments made and one remaining. The last payment or 60th payment was made on XX/XX/2018. Audi Financial Services proceeded to charge off my loan without any notification when it should have been paid in full. 

I have since paid the charge off as result of the substantial harm to my credit and ability to obtain additional financing. Note the date on the statement is XXXX XXXX-what year is that? 

Also, it has been over 60 days since I paid the disputed charge off and I have still not received a satisfaction of lien or paid in full contract.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: PA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Opening an account
Sub-issue: Unable to open an account

Complaint:
It must have been XXXX or XXXX. Someone attempted to deposit a check into my bank account after my debit card was stolen. I was not aware of this until Bank of America put a hold on my account due to this issue. I went into a branch a few time and was told that my account was closed and had a negative balance. I filed an appeal and was still turned down. In XXXX I could not open a bank account and decided that I would go ahead and pay the negative balance so that I could move forward with a new account at another bank. I did so and was never informed about a database that had my name attached to bank fraud. I didnt know about this until today. I called BOA and spoke with the fraud department and was advised that this matter was going to remain as it is and theres no solution to having it removed. I really dont know what to do. I have tried to explain that Ive never done any fraudulent activity with any banks. Im almost XXXX years old and I just want to open another account to manage my finances. Things have been very difficult for me because of all of this. It just seems so unfair that no one will listen or understand my position regarding this issue.

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

Complaint:
Trans Union refuses to properly publish and update my correct balances on credit cards and installment loans. They only update when the info is negative and will impact my credit my score negatively and lower my score. Currently I have paid down my balances and have several credit items that will be removed from my report. 

When the info is negative they update every 7 days. Now that my balances are going down they stopped updating and the balances reflected on my credit report are outdated and totally incorrect. 

This is done to intentionally keep my score low.

State: NY
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem accessing account

Complaint:
BBVA has assumed responsibility for accounts previously held by Simple ( Compass Bank XXXX. The accounts were supposed to be automatically transitioned and accessible through BBVA 's system on XX/XX/XXXX. A majority of customers attempting to access their accounts after the transition experienced technical difficulties when attempting to activate their new accounts per BBVA 's instruction. Since the issues started nearly three days ago, many people are still without access and BBVA has done very little to provide support or information. I have called the bank over thirty times in the past two days, spending over three total hours on hold. I have yet to reach a CSR. Many of my hold calls were abruptly ended when BBVA hung up the line. I have not received one official communication via phone or email from BBVA during this completely failed transition period. They are attempting to minimize the impact this is having but I have a great deal of funds currently in limbo because they are in a protected savings account not accessible via the ATM or paper checks. BBVA needs to address this issue immediately ; they have yet to show any interest in simply communicating with customers about the situation let alone taking action to resolve it.
