Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I am becoming more and more frustrated with your company. Upon finding these errors being reported on my credit report I have taken the necessary steps in order to inform you all of the errors. Nevertheless you all are not doing your part to resolve my issues. My family and I are becoming very impatient. My attorney told me to send this letter in order to alert you all of these errors before taking legal action. I am a person that goes to work everyday in order to make sure my family have equal opportunities just like everyone else. I am a consumer that refuses to be a victim of harassment or abuse. According to 15 USC 1692d 1. ( 1 ) the use or threat of violence or other criminal means to harm the physical person, REPUTATION, or property of any person ; is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act. Reporting false information on someone's credit report is detrimental to a consumer 's reputation. Sending letters an a attempt to collect debt from a consumer who debts do not belong to is also a form of harassment which is another violation of 15 USC 162d 1. ( 1 ) Constantly sending mail that has symbols of a debt collector on the outside of letter is a violation of the use or THREAT OF VIOLENCE or other criminal means to harm the physical person, reputation, or property of any person ; is an violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act. Also according to 15 USC 1681 ( A ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : ( 2 ) An elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and GENERAL REPUTATION OF CONSUMERS. You can review my credit report as evidence to see that my reputation in fact has been ruined. This section clearly says that a consumer 's credit report was established to identify a GENERAL REPUTATION OF CONSUMERS. Also I stated before I was a victim of the XXXX Data Breach.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Complaint:
I applied for XXXX XXXX card ( operating under Synchrony bank ) as it was heavily advertised in late XX/XX/XXXX. I then flew to XXXX in late XXXX and returned back to NY on XX/XX/XXXX. I never received my credit card in the first place but someone stole it and made a purchase of {$570.00} in XXXX. I was never in XXXX myself As soon as I returned in NY in late XX/XX/XXXX, I called up the bank to notify them about the fraudulent transaction and that I never received the card in the first place. I called them numerous times- they acknowledged that it was a fraud and that their fraud team will get back to me within 60 days and that I do not have to pay for the fraudulent purchase. 

However, I never heard back from them again. When I called them again after a month, on XX/XX/XXXX, they told me that they claim was not submitted although I did inform them of the fraud. Now they no longer respond to my calls and I'm unable to reach them.

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: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I have submitted several disputes regarding erroneous information on my account which keeps getting ignored. Im beginning to suffer mental anguish and heightened stress from having to continually submit disputes to have incorrect information deleted and or updated to accurately reflect my credit score. This is affecting my ability to purchase my first home because the scores are not being updated with accurate information across all 3 bureaus. 

For starters late payments are being reported when it is illegal to do so. Based on my interpretation of 15 USC 1681A, section 2 titled exclusions : transaction history is not included in consumer reports. Isnt payment history considered a TRANSACTION? Please clarify the bureaus interpretation of what late payment history is considered. The following accounts are being reported as late and I am demanding that the late payment history is updated. 
XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is showing as a collection account when it was not in fact a collection. I am requesting deletion after requesting validation that has not been done. 

XXXX is a fraudulent account that continues to report and I have request deletion several times. 

XXXX XXXX has several errors in reporting. It shows as a closed account with a past due balance. How is that even possible when you guys claim to have accurately validated this account? In addition this amount keeps increasing and the status being updated as if this account is still open and active therefore SERIOUSLY affecting my credit rating and causing me great financial and emotional harm. At this point its unbearable and something has to be done. 

Credit card usage is not being updated to reflect the correct utilization. XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX balances are incorrect and have been. Based on the creditors reporting date these are past due for an update that reflects ACCURATE utilization. Because it hasnt been updated and is greatly affecting my scores I cant qualify for a home loan which violates my rights. 

In addition XXXX XXXX  is reporting twice for the same exact account. Thats false and fraudulent. 

Lastly the personal statement showing on my credit was not AUTHORIZED. I do not want to be classified as a fraud victim because it negatively affects me when creditors pull my report. Its essentially a scarlet letter and is discriminatory. I do not want any personal statements reflected on my credit report for this reason. 

Please also update the following information to reflect accurately : Employer SELFEMPLOYED is not accurate I am not also known as XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. This is a catch all and my name has never been that.

Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc.
State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
This debt was originally with a company called XXXX, they contacted me in XX/XX/2016 to collect the debt for XXXX. On this phone call I explained my situation to them which was I had dropped a phone that had about 8 months left on its contract and payment plan into a cup of water. Being that majority of my plan paid out I was willing to pay the remaining balance on the phone that I had damaged but I wanted my service cancelled because it was no longer working. The man I spoke to at XXXX agreed to make sure the service was verified cancelled before I made my the payment to them, so after about 10 minutes on hold and him speaking to his superior he said that they went ahead and contacted XXXX and had marked my account to be cancelled upon payment. It was at this time we settled on a payment of XXXX dollars which I made in 3 payments over 5 weeks. I have the bank statements to prove these payments were made. Shortly after I made these payments I checked my credit report to make sure it had been removed and it had not. It was at this time over 6 months ago now that I filed a dispute explaining all of this, after 2-3 weeks I got an email updating me that the derogatory mark would be removed and I had won the dispute and the creditor agreed to remove this from my credit report. About a month or 2 had passed and I got a phone call, now it was from this current debt collector I explained everything to the woman on the phone and she basically told me to go dispute it again if I want or pay them but that I 'm better off paying them. That is not okay, I settled on this debt, I paid the settled on amount, and now this is ridiculous. This debt is sold and bought for pennies on the dollar to try and collect from the next one. I 'm not paying this debt when I already paid it.

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, my Citibank XXXX credit card was blocked for fraud report when trying to make a charge while I was overseas. I called in to try to unblock card but they weren't able to verify my identity over the phone, despite me being able to provide my details. Instead they sent a mailer to my home in the US which I had no access to. Instead, I had to use a different credit card from Citibank ( Citi XXXX ) which had a foreign transaction fee. This means I had to pay additional fees as I could not use my initial card ( which had no foreign transaction fees ).
