Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint:
I have been working on my TransUnion credit profile and I noticed there is an incorrect addresses on my report. I am writing to dispute the errors on my credit report. I request that these errors be corrected immediately. Enclosed, please find copies of the relevant documentation supporting my dispute. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

The INCORRECT Address that should be deleted is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SC XXXX and there is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX XXXX, IL Please keep in mind that Congress ( 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) ) makes it clear that I have a right to privacy. Privacy is not defined because only I can define what privacy is to me.

( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy.

Under the subsection 15 usc 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) the reporting agency does not have my written instructions to report anything. The code says they need permissible purpose in accordance with written instructions. The credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ) do not have my written permission and this should be removed accordingly. 

I am under the impression that it seems as if a company has taken advantage of obtaining my personal address for their benefit. There is a huge risk of having the incorrect address on my consumer report because this could potentially be identity theft.

I know that under the following law the CRA has to delete inaccurate information. 1681i. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy section ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. Lastly, see the below where there must be maximum accuracy and unfortunately they are not practicing this law. 1681e. Compliance procedures Section ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I received a summons to appear in court for an alleged credit card debt from Midland Credit Management. I was later visited by the city police XX/XX/2021 regarding the original summons I received on XX/XX/2021 from Attorney XXXX XXXX, XXXX. From my understanding of consumer law, according to 15 USC 1692 ( e ) this section is titled false or misleading representation, Midland Credit Management is in violation of my consumer rights and I want to compensated for the damages which I am entitled to according to 15 USC 1692 ( k ). A law firm can not attempt to collect a debt on be half of the creditor. That's illegal because the states that law firms can not act as debt collectors. I sent a certified noticed to Midland Credit Management on XX/XX/2021 demanding them to cease and desist as well as an invoice for the violation. There are other violations that Midland Credit Management has conducted such as 15 USC 1692 ( i ) in which congress makes it clear that bringing legal action by debt collector is unauthorized and 15 USC 1692a ( 6 ) ( A ) ( C ) ( D ) ( 6 ). The term debt collector means any person who uses any instrumentality of interstate commerce or the mails in any business the principal purpose of which is the collection of any debts, or who regularly collects or attempts to collect, directly or indirectly, debts owed or due or asserted to be owed or due another. The term does not include - ( A ) any officer or employee of a creditor while, in the name of the creditor, collecting debts for such creditor ; ( C ) any officer or employee of the United States or any State to the extent that collecting or attempting to collect any debt is in the performance of his official duties ; ( D ) any person while serving or attempting to serve legal process on any other person in connection with the judicial enforcement of any debt. I will be invoicing Midland Credit Management for the additional violations conducted against me and sending it certified within 5 business days. Additionally, I do not owe this debt because there is no contract stating that this credit was extended to me by this debt collector. I also demand that this be removed from my consumer reports because I did not give permission to report anything on my consumer report ; it is unauthorized.

State: IN
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
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 purchased a lease with Hyuandi and used their in house financing through Hyuandi Motor Financing. Upon the end of my lease term I decided to lease a new vehicle with the same company and equally went through their in house financing. My vehicle was paid of by the company themselves ( it was literally their vehicle ), the new lease was contracted, I put a down payment on the lease and made my first months payment and thought I was good. The same week I purchased the new vehicle I was receiving collection calls from their back office threatening reporting my late payment to my credit report. You can imagine I was confused because I was in a completely different vehicle and had already made a payment towards the new car. In a panic I went into the car dealership and spoke with the manager. I was told they can see in their system that everything is paid off and it just needs to process. I was told it take up to two weeks to process but no additional payments had to be made. Again, this was a duh for me because it makes no sense to be paying on a vehicle I no longer own. Not only was it in their possession but it was paid off and I was in a new car. Low and behold I receive an update on my credit report that after perfect history throughout the entire lease, they reported I did not make my last payment on time. I hopped on this immediately and have written all required information to Hyuandi. Not only will they not correct the issue but they are taking no responsibility for the negligence on their behalf. I spoke with multiple managers ( even for a second opinion ) and was consistently told it would be remedied. It has yet to be resolved and all Im getting is if you provide new information we will re open the investigation. What a poor investigation. What a poor process and what a poor experience. Now I am looking at a late payment staying on my report for 7 years because they refuse to remove this mark and own up to their mistake. Theres no reason I should have had to do so, but I would have even been willing to make an additional payment and have them reimburse me. Instead I was told otherwise.

I received several text alerts about fraud that was trying to be done in mY account. And I followed the steps that I usually do when that happens.

After we verified everything I was scammed out of {$1400.00} and it was XXXX  to another bank. I called filed a claim reached out to Bank of America & they denied the claim, said I should reach out to the scamming bank to try and resolve anything. When I reached out to that bank ( XXXX XXXX  ) they would not help me in giving me any information and told me to go back to my bank. How can the company, XXXX, and Bank of America & XXXX XXXX  no one help me. I have been scammed out of {$1400.00} and NO ONE a can give me answers. I have spoken to my local police department and it seems so hopeless. In speaking to my bank they said this is a big issue with fraudsters impersonating every step of their security protocols. BUT how are consumers suppose to know whats real and what not if the very protocols put in place to secure us are in fact not secure?

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
I've been a customer of Wells Fargo ( WF ) for close to XXXX years. During my time as a customer WF has constantly put me in products that are not a good fit. For example one of my checking accounts was converted to an account that would cost a monthly fee. Wells Fargo did not send anything detailed in the mail- they wrote a very small note on my mobile dashboard. When I called to inquire why the account was changing I discovered there was a different account that was free and and better suited for my needs. This was also the case for my rewards credit card ; it was automatically converted to a cash back credit card. Again nothing was mailed out to me ; there was a small notification on the mobile dashboard saying the current card would switch over by a certain date. If WF has the power to switch customers into different products without their consent or consulting with them first it seems they would do their due diligence and learn how a customer uses their accounts /credit cards and place them in a product that's in the customers best interest. 

Second example - WF closed all Personal Lines of Credit. Customer 's were not given the option to keep their XXXX open. This clearly was done because it was beneficial to the company. 

Also, Wells Fargo has consistently kept me at the highest APR for my credit cards despite my good standing as a customer ( Excellent credit and XXXX score, on time payments etc. ). I have asked for Wells Fargo to explain why my APR is at the highest but they do not have not given a reasonable explanation. I was recently sent a promotional offer for a loan ( up to $ XXXX ) from WF so they aware of my good credit history. They are refusing to give me a decent XXXX  or convert me to credit card that works for me. 

I'm requesting my XXXX be lowered or I be placed into a different credit card without a hard pull on my credit.
