Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Complaint:
I have submitted several disputes to Experian for over 6 months now ; disputing the inaccurate, misleading, and unverifiable information listed on my credit report from multiple creditors. I have asked Experian on multiple accounts to remove any and all addresses, as well as personal information that does not belong to me, nor that I have ever lived at, and Experian will not acknowledge my request. Experian has continuously sent me a response to every dispute I send them, almost immediately refusing to thoroughly investigate the accounts because I have " previously '' disputed the accounts and they came back verified. My initial dispute was submitted in XX/XX/2015. I have sent a dispute every month since then, re-disputing the accounts with more information, or with a different reason as to why these accounts should be removed immediately. I have also requested method of verification, as well as proof of verification, and they have completely disregarded my request and thrown out my investigations entirely. I do not know where to begin in regards to having this matter resolved as I am constantly having to face an uphill battle with a company who is proving they are not abiding by the law and completing a full and thorough investigation. I am requesting that you please look into this matter and have Experian complete a full and thorough investigation of the accounts listed in the attached letter. I have sent them certified/registered mail with return receipt every month, and I know they have received my disputes because they reply back with the letter indicating the dispute will be disregarded to being previously investigated. Which I am aware of, but I am giving a completely different dispute reason every time. Please assist. I thank you for your time and help on this matter. Under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA - they are required to " ... promptly delete all information which can not be verified '' that I have disputed. Please resolve this manner as soon as possible. Thank you.

Sub-product: Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
My mortgage company is Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. I was late in paying my monthly but when I caught up they refused to take my money saying it was n't in the full amount owed. But I kept paying my monthly mortgage. Then I received an letter and later an email asking me to get into a loan modification to pay a lower monthly mortgage, which I denied. Then I received an email congratulating me saying I was accepted in loan modification program. I replied to email stating I never agreed to being in modification program. My monthly mortgage was {$540.00}. I do n't know why they charged me {$1100.00} but when I called to make a payment on XX/XX/2017 this is the amount I was told to pay. I 've called to be switched around to numerous Wells Fargo reps from Escrow to Insurance because this is where the problems lies. I called to make my XX/XX/XXXX payment and now they raised my payments to {$1000.00}. I never received a letter telling me they were raising my monthly payments nor did I agree to this amount. I spoke to a rep on XX/XX/2017 and he stated it was because of my property tax, which is not true because I 'm in the LOOP program for XXXX residents long-time homeowners. Then rep said it was due to homeowners insurance which went up and my prior home owners insurance they paid 3 times within a year depleting my escrow monies. They asked no questions when XXXX kept sending them payments. I was aware I paid a one time fee to an insurance company not recurring bills throughout the year. The rep also stated he could lower my payments to {$890.00} or stretch it out through the 12 months. He also stated I should 've been charged the {$1000.00} on XX/XX/2017. When I called back on XX/XX/2017 I was again switched around to numerous reps, hung-up on but no one was helping my get to a resolution to lower my payments. They kept telling an appraisal would be done on my mortgage in XX/XX/XXXX and my XX/XX/XXXX bill may be lowered. Can you help me with assistance in getting my monthly mortgage lowered or send me to someone who can? Thanking you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: VA
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, 2017 I went into a Navy Federal branch on XXXX XXXX in XXXX, VA. I requested a cashier 's check for my landlord in the amount of {$730.00}. The cashier who did my transaction spelled the name wrong on the check and he then proceeded to cash another check from my checking account with the right name. He voided a check and gave me the other one in my hand. I went home to take it to my landlord only to find he voided the correct check and still ended up giving me the bad one. I called Navy Federal on the phone and asked them what to do. They said since the check might be voided to just go back to the branch and get another one. I went back there on XXXX XXXX, 2017. I explained what happened to another cashier as the first one was n't working that day. She then had her supervisor issue a credit to my account so they could give me a check with the proper spelling on it. I was able to give that check to my landlord. Then on XXXX XXXX, 2017 I saw there was a credit placed on my account for {$730.00}. I went into the branch on XXXX XXXX, 2017 and asked a teller in that same branch ( Teller ID : XXXX ) if the credit was correct because I had an issue with my account the previous month and I know that there were funds taken out initially that it did n't show were out back. She assured me that it was because they were correcting the error on the account. I also called into Navy Federal member services rep and had a representative investigate further just to be sure and they also confirmed the same thing. Now on XXXX XXXX, 2017 I access my account to find they 've debited my account for {$730.00}. When I called in and asked about the debit, the member services rep said she reached out to their cash applications team and she specifically said they made a mistake in crediting my account for the funds because they do n't show that they ever removed the funds from my account surfing the first transaction. I asked her how is it my fault that the bank made a mistake and now I have to pay for it. I was essentially told that even though they made a mistake, I still have to pay for their mistake and that they are n't going to own up to it. This is unfair and unjust treatment from a banking institution that is just expecting a consumer to pay them money based on the fact that they made a mistake. Even when the customer calls and goes up in person to ask about the validity of the credit and is told that it is valid.

Complaint:
I write this notice saddened by the inequality and trespass of my consumer rights. The consumer reporting agencies have had more than their allotted time to fix an issue Ive been continually attempting to correct. Ive filed an FTC report as a result of the violation of privacy via the PRIVACY ACT of 1974, because neither the creditors of the alleged debt nor the consumer reporting agencies have provided me anything in writing in which Ive signed stating they had the ability to report my non-public personal information. Ive requested several times and theyve not providing me with anything. Ive also recently sent in my request to block such erroneous and invalid information from my report via 15 USC 1681c-2, and comprehending the consumer reporting agencies had 4 days to block such information from my consumer report, theyve not done so, which means the company is abiding by the laws of congress. I have pain and suffering because of these reporting as it is hindering me from taking care of myself, my kids and family. The defamation of my character has gone on for far too long and Im tired of it! Ive included the documents I sent out in the XXXX of XXXX, thats including the FTC report, and the identity accounts, my identification and my personal statement, the documents were also notarized.
