Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
Ever since XXXX I have requested experian and XXXX to remove these fraudulent accounts due to identity theft. They didnt do nothing in XXXX and XXXX but Experian remove the account and put it back on the report within a hour in the same day, when they must give you a 5 day notice of reinsertion. So both of these credit bureaus told me that both of my police reports and ftc reports were fake and instead they did a verification of the accounts to the maximum accuracy and I ask them why they denied my fraud report and I ask for method of verification and they said they dont have the information. I told them if they dont have the information that they must delete. The fcra 15 USC 1681 sec e ( b ) that my accounts my be accurate to the maximum accuracy or delete the accounts. I also looks my Experian credit report, for your name, address and other items they have identifiers, so they can try to prove that the XXXX XXXX XXXX account and the other accounts under dispute right now, they switch the address from the address where the account was really open at and put my address I love at now but the house wasnt even built in XXXX or XXXX, these are over 120 days this year along where these accounts must be deleted because of non verified, inaccurate information reporting negative information under my report. So since they said the police report is fake if they dont remove this items I will give the police the letter and force them to subpoena in court, they didnt verify the accounts after they rejected the fraud ftc so the accounts should be immediately remove. I also approved for a {$440000.00} loan but got denied after a repulled where those accounts became charge off. I got denied XXXX cars for XXXX  and other loans as well, lost {$12000.00} bc XXXX mark two of my positive accounts as fraud when I never disputed those. These two bureaus has cause so much damage in my life, cause me to be on medication for XXXX and XXXX. And hurt me financially, this is why I will never give up but it will be court from this point forth. I highly advised those bureaus to look at that inaccurate information and removed it because it is passed there time and tell XXXX to not forget about the other accounts, XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, that they have as a charge off and the other account thats at this moment is under dispute. Not one of these accounts are accurate

State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
I applied for only one credit card by Chase, nowhere does it say that an application demands 2 inquiries for one credit card. And I discovered that I received 2 inquiries on the same day, one on XXXX  and one on XXXX  report. I was granted the credit card but I wish I knew there would be 2 separate inquiries and I wouldn't apply. I called to ask why that happened and they said they can do whatever they want and they don't have any note saying that explicitly and asked me if I want to cancel my card but they can not remove 1 inquiry. It is just not usual to get 2 inquiries by any company so it was so unexpected and I believe it might have been a mistake or if not, they should mention it before someone applies. I am planning to get a car soon so this is highly inconvenient and totally not necessary, if I knew I would definitely go with a different credit card.

Complaint:
Hi Team, I moved from XXXX, XXXX  to XXXX, XXXX  in the era of COVID 19. So, this could be one of the exceptional cases that needs to be reconsidered ( help me to improve credit score ). 

I paid as soon as I am notified about the pending bill working with hospital ( or medical provider ). Medical provider promised us that they will inform the collection agent and will not be reported. Looking at the records, I am not abusive user of my credit line and missed any medical payments. 

I tried all possible ways to improve my credit score, like paying in advance, using within limits, having 3-4 credit cards, not closing any cards etc etc. 

I worked with my financial institutions and cleared late payments and waived late payment fees long back when it happened because of several reasons. Worked with financial advisors to keep my credit score high. But, Still they are haunting me till date without a reason. 
Attached lots of information. Still, I can provide necessary information, if you need any. 

Please help to get my desired score honoring my history.!!!

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: SD
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint:
This company, Midland Credit Management, started calling me on my cell phone XXXX starting on XX/XX/2019. They called XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX   that day. They called twice on XX/XX/XXXX, once on XX/XX/XXXX. They kept calling me 2 or 3 days a week.

On Sunday, XX/XX/2019, I told the male collector not to call me any more. 

The problems with them have been two, and I think they have violated Federal law.

ONE. I did not receive from Midland any written notice at all within 5 days after they called me on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I did receive a notice from them dated XX/XX/2019 ( enclosed ) which does NOT say anything about my right to request verification of the debt within 30 days. 

There are possibly two violations of law here. One, I did not receive written notice from them by XX/XX/XXXX ( 5 days ) and two, the notice I received from them that they mailed to me on XX/XX/2019 does NOT have any written notice that I had the right to receive verification of any debt from them within 30 days.

TWO. During many or all of the calls I received from them, the Midland collector did not mention to me that I had the right, within 30 days to request and receive verification of the debt from Midland. Not once did the collectors mention that to me. Typically, when they called, they would ask if this is XXXX XXXX, am I XXXX XXXX, that this was an attempt by a debt collector to obtain information to collect a debt. I do not ever remember that the collectors told me that I had the right to request verification of the debt from them within 30 days. I think that might be a violation of law.

I did not make any recordings of the calls they made to me.

I believe that part ONE of my complaint is that they failed to send a Written Debt Validation Notice to me within five days of the collector 's initial communication. They must send me a notice that includes the amount of the debt, name of the creditor, and notice of your right to dispute the debt within 30 days. [ 15 USC 1692g ] 809 ( a ) What I can see on the XX/XX/XXXX letter is the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor, but there is no mention about my right to dispute the debt within 30 days on page 1 or page 2 of this letter. 

On the XX/XX/XXXX letter, which I received on XX/XX/XXXX, there is a mention on page 1 of : " You may request the following information by writing us at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MI XXXX and the same will be provided to you at no cost within 30 days of receipt of your written request '' But this notice was received by me on XX/XX/XXXX, a full 49 days after their initial phone call to me on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I am mailing in a debt verification letter to Midland Credit Management on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX. 

I have screen shots of my phone which shows all the times that Midland called me, from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint:
THE CREDIT BUREAUS NEVER DID A PROPER " INVESTIGATION '' ACCORDING TO FCRA. 

The term " investigation consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's character, general, reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living obtained through personal interview with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others whom she is acquainted with or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. 

They did not do this. 

Also, they violated my rights even more. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act EVERYTHING has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report. 

The Credit Bureaus stated my account was properly investigated but how is that possible if the open date is inaccurate, the date last active is inaccurate, and date last reported is not accurate. This alone is grounds for removal.

They also violated the law because according to 15 U.S.C. 1682 section 602.A States I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instruction XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY

Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
On or around XX/XX/2019 I was approached at the XXXX XXXX by a XXXX/American Express representative who was offering a promotion for increased miles. I told the agent that I already had a XXXX XXXX card and was not interested in getting a new card. They advised that was not a problem. They took my card information and had me sign a document and then said that I was eligible for a promotion through the XXXX/American Express Platinum Card. When I reiterated that I did not want to upgrade my card they informed me that it was just checking to see if I would be eligible for the offer and that I could choose to sign up or not for the Platinum card once I received information in the mail. Instead, I received a new Platinum Card in the mail. I contacted American Express on XX/XX/2019 and spoke to multiple agents, supervisors, and individuals in the customer retention department. Despite my conversations and even requests to speak with someone in the fraud department ( as I felt I had been defrauded ). I was told I had two options. I could keep the platinum card ( which has an annual fee that is {$100.00} more than the one I currently have ) or I could downgrade to the card I initially had ; however, doing so could put me at risk of being ineligible for future upgrade promotions. The could not just make me whole again and remove future ineligibilities. They claimed that nothing could be done, despite me being signed up against my will or knowledge. 

I would like to be in the position where I determine if and when I sign up to upgrade or change my credit cards.

To Whom It May Concern, On XX/XX/2023 I disputed an account reported by XXXX XXXX in the file you maintain under my Social Security number. 

I was informed on XX/XX/2023 that the item was deleted from my credit report. 
Now I have discovered that the item has been reinserted on my credit report. 

In accordance with the requirements of the FCRA section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ), you are required to notify me of the reinsertion in writing within 5 business days.

B ) Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material ( ii ) Notice to consumer If any information that has been deleted from a consumer 's file purse to subparagraph ( A ) is reinserted in the file, the consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of the reinsertion in writing not later than 5 business days after the reinsertion or ; if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency.

I received no such notification. This is a very serious violation of the FCRA, and I reserve the right to pursue legal action for your blatant disregard for the law.

I hereby demand that you immediately delete the item from my credit report in order to avoid legal action. I am submitting this complaint separately to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Attorney General 's Office, and the XXXX. 

Please govern yourself accordingly.

Complaint:
I recently filed a report with XXXX XXXX and Equifax of inaccurate items being reported on my credit reports. NONE OF THE THREE BUREAUS REMOVED THE INACCURACIES. Failure to delete items that were disputed as debts which resulted from identity theft is a violation of The Federal Fair Credit Reporting. I never received notification of the debts on my credit reports. This is a defamation of character and misrepresentation of my true credit worthiness. I recently applied for a loan and was denied due to inaccurate information being reported on my credit reports. I am exercising my right as a consumer who is a victim of identity theft. I ask that these accounts be deleted within 15 days of these receipts otherwise I will be forced to file a litigation explicitly stating your companys negligence to abide by The Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
