Company: MONEYGRAM PAYMENT SYSTEMS WORLDWIDE INC
State: MI
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Other transaction problem

Complaint:
Complaint is on Money Gram service, where I tried to send {$1100.00} to my sister due to an emergency. I used my charge card and the transaction is pending, and Money Gram notified me that the money was ready for pick up. When my sister, XXXX XXXX tried to pick up the money, she was told to have me call Money Gram. They transferred me on the phone, around and around until I finally got someone to say that they were cancelling the transaction, due to suspicious circumstances, whatever that means. I gave them all my information, including my license number to no avail. Each person I was transferred to was more and more frustrating to deal with. Eventually I used another service agency with no problems at all. The problem that I have now is that they cancelled the transfer, yet did not reverse the transfer with my charge company, so the transfer still shows pending, and I have my available money with my visa held up in this pending situation. All of the details are on the attachment enclosed. I will never be using this company again. Although I have used this company many times in the past, never have I had such a problem, with them offering no real reason for what they did.

Complaint:
I want to dispute these accounts because it was affecting my credit report, it was caused by Identity Theft. I did not make these charges. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. These accounts were taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, these accounts shouldn't be in my report. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I had a mortgage with Wells Fargo since XXXX. I fell behind and got a XXXX  XXXX in XXXX I didn't want to discharge my mortgage but my lawyer did. I was on time with my mortgage when I had the bankruptcy and after so they really didn't get anything from the discharge because I was on time. So I didn't want to leave my house and I made payments every month on time until forbearance happened with the code we got locked in. I was on forbearance twice because I'm sick and I'm still sick. The first time I came off they deferred it deferred the balance I owed. Second time I got a payment from HAF Grant and they paid 3 months worth I guess Wells Fargo didn't Express to them that I still have the deferral amount which was the second mortgage and HAF Grant XXXX, would have paid that. 10 Wells Fargo said they were transferring me to their service department well I didn't know they were selling me to it debt collector that was XX/XX/XXXX while still in forbearance. They also reported me delinquent while on forbearance to XXXX. I asked them after they sold me if they could update the credit report and let them know that I've been paying my mortgage all along and they refused which I think is illegal. I printed out 6 years of statements and payment information and since it's a transunion and they said they deleted their account from my site but it's still there it's closed and it still says delinquent I had them do an investigation twice to get rid of the delinquent and still on there. That's illegal according to the bankruptcy laws and the forbearance laws complaint about the new mortgage company. At my house for 22 years I always paid on it until the covid and I don't need to link one on my credit report and now it doesn't show that I paid my mortgage since XXXX. I really did a number on my credit and I couldn't get them to defer it and I couldn't get a equity loan either they refused equity loans before people went on forbearance and after.

State: DC
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an unsolicted email from Experian informing me that my credit score had been updated. On XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to login to Experian.com to view this score. After multiple attempts, I was unable to login and the website informed me my account had been locked and I needed to call Experian at ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  to unlock my account. 

I called and spent about 30 minutes in total navigating the push-button interface and talking to an operator. I answered security questions about my account but the system was down so I was told to call back after 72 hours. I called again the next week and spent another half hour navigating the same problem. The person I spoke with was difficult to understand and was then told the same thing. 

I sent an electronic message to Experian on XX/XX/XXXX informing them of this ongoing problem and I have not received any response ( see attached ). 

Experian is making it virtually impossible to access my credit report and their poor customer service is difficult and tedious to navigate. Their operators are unable to resolve the problem and unwilling to troubleshoot beyond scripted apologies. 

Meanwhile, Experian continues to spam my email inbox urging me to login to my account even though it is impossible for me to do so ( see attached ).

My wife contacted the student loan people directly and they confirmed there should be NO late payments reporting for the year XXXX, XXXX nor XXXX and if one call can confirm this why haven't either one of the companies made that call or even asked for the paperwork? I have been working on this since XXXX and have yet to get them to fix the mistake.

Complaint:
See Attached Dispute Docs detailing blatant consumer rights violations, The fact that you have ignored my request to send me copies of the documents that you used to verify the disputed accounts is evidence that you can not, and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as you stated in writing that you did. Your failure to delete the disputed accounts that you can not verify after two written requests is also evidence of your willful disregard of Federal Law. I am writing to request the immediate deletion of certain information that is being reported on my credit file, which is in violation of the Metro 2 Credit Reporting Guidelines. The inaccurately reported information is causing significant harm to my credit standing and financial well-being. Ive studied constitutional consumer protection laws extensively along with cIvil/federal court procedures such that of Dixon-Rollins v. Experian Information Solutions *Under 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( p ) - unauthorized use of my information As defined by the IRS Even if you didn't receive a tax form 1099-c you must report cancelled debt and gross income The IRS clearly states charge off as income the reporting of this account is inaccurate. I have done my own investigation and have researched numerus legal cases in which other consumers were victims of the same things that I am now experiencing, and the courts have ruled each an every time that the credit reporting agency could not merely parrot information from the creditors and/or collection agencies. you are required to conduct your own independent reasonable investigations to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty, and integrity of the creditor and/or collection agency in question. Sending out generic form through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. Also according to 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % accurate on my consumer report.
