Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Other banking product or service
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, someone who was not myself cashed a check against my account for {$620.00}. The first I knew of this was on XX/XX/XXXX, when I received my Credit Card statement showing an overdraft charge and associated fees for this amount. I immediately called both the bank and the company who issued the card explaining that I had not cashed any check and knew nothing about this transaction. An inquiry was begun. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from said issuer that they had examined my account history and determined I was responsible for this transaction. I have made numerous trips to the bank but they can not find the check or any information on it. They have tried to be helpful but I am still getting billed or this amount and subsequent charges. This was a fraudulent transaction. Shouldn't the responsibility of locating the perpetrator belong to the bank? Why am I, a XXXX senior, being persecuted? 
On XX/XX/XXXX, the bank had sent me a letter informing me that on XX/XX/XXXX, someone had attempted to cash a check for the same amount. It was determined that the signature was fraudulent and cashing had been refused. I was told to do nothing. Why was the check cashed in XXXX? Why did they wait 3 months to notify me? Two days after receiving this letter I tried to use my debit card but my account had been closed. No reason was given but a new card was issued. It turns out I had received this check in XXXX, took it to the bank but it never got into my account. I must have lost it. I had been caretaking a sick family member and left immediately for a few days of rest. I totally forgot about the check.

Complaint:
Helvey and associates had incorrectly reported a power bill which was owed by one of my tenants which lived in one of my rental properties on my name in XXXX. I ended up paying the bill to try to get it off my report. It's still on my report 5 years later. This power bill was also never mailed to me, and no late notices were recieved. 

Those properties were sold in XXXX. I just got another power bill which was never mailed to me, emailed to me, and absolutely ZERO notices were sent, now Helvey and Associates has once again just reported to to all the three credit agencies taking my XXXX credit score down to XXXX. 

I need someone to help with their abuse. It is not fair that the dont contact the home owner or do anything to alert them before reporting them to credit agencies.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: WA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
We completed a refinance through USAA. The refinance processed a few days prior to when our auto pay on the old mortgage was set up to pay. Even though the original loan was paid off, our auto pay for around {$3000.00} went through in early XXXX. I called USAA around 10 times between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to inquire about when we would be refunded that money. I received different answers from different people but most said it would automatically go out 30 days after receipt. 30 days after the payment i called again and the check still had not been issued. No one knew why and the rep said they would take care of it. XX/XX/XXXX, still no check so I call back. Different person says check still hasn't gone out they don't know why, will talk to a manager and follow up with me. It is now XX/XX/XXXX, I call back after receiving no follow up and the manager 's inquiry has gone no where and no one knows what happened. The person I talked to this time says she thinks the refund will go out on Monday but she will have to call me back Monday to verify. No one at USAA has any idea what is going on and at this point they are holding my money XXXX. If I can not pay my bills or my mortgage because they have my {$3000.00} are they going to refund me? The scariest part is I caught the error. I am not sure they would have ever given me my money back ( they still might not ) unless I had caught it. I feel they have been dishonest and have kept my money XXXX while providing me no resolutions, updates or compensation for this hardship.

Complaint:
I was notified that I was part of the XXXX data breach via a letter on consumer file I was also notified my information was appearing on the dark web. I signed up for credit monitoring tools.I was notified by my credit reporting tools that my credit report was released to Banks without my consent or application. I immediately called same day and reported that as fraud. Both organizations blamed the other for approximately one month from today as I continued to call back and attempt to get the inquiries removed from my credit report. The following month I received a letter from these inquiries below per a request to open a checking account which I did not request or apply. I notified these banks who immediately took action and helped me file a 7 year fraud alert on my credit report with these banks who also did same with the other to credit reporting agencies. HOWEVER, these banks sent me a link to do same with Chexsystems since this was a request for checking account in my name Please help me look into this matter I cant open a bank account

Complaint:
I recently received an updated copy of my Experian credit report and notice Experian is providing a Fake fico credit score, I filed a dispute with Experian after noticing several unauthorized inquires were made on on my report without my permission. Several days ago Experian removed 4 of those inquires and updated my report, but my credit score never changed. I called multiple times to address this issue and no one seems to have an answer. 

This is not the first time Experian has provided me with a Fake Fico credit score or credit score that never updates.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
On XX/XX/19 I was researching small business loans and filled out a pre-qualifying offer on XXXX that was advertised as a free soft check. I was alerted immediately that a hard check went through on XXXX. I spent the rest of the night being bounced around to voicemails and various companies including Credit Plus to report the error with no response. I found later that my XXXX report had also been hit. XXXX was ran for a home loan mortgage which I never inquired about anywhere, have never owned a home. The following week, I was contacted by a XXXX " loan officer '' who said he couldn't help me reverse the credit pull but would tell me what I qualify for. I proceeded to converse with him for the next couple weeks but he refused to supply me with any XXXX paperwork or forms to complete an application and told me he wouldn't submit an application for a business loan for me unless I provided him my real number accounting books on shared XXXX docs or other unofficial forms. When I refused and asked for an official rejection letter if that was the case, he emailed me a letter that did not even contain my name or full address nor my credit score and the reasons listed for rejection didn't make sense. When I finally got a response from Credit Plus about reversing the hits to my credit, they sent me a form I never filled out for a commercial loan filled partly with info I entered on the website for my free pre-qualifying small business loan rates ( that I never got ) and partly fabricated. The PDF file itself isn't even secure! 

I didn't authorize a hard credit pull and was refused XXXX forms to apply for anything, then was given a phony rejection letter with no credit score and no proof of what I was even inquiring about. The phony authorization says commercial loan, but my credit was run for a home mortgage and I was allegedly rejected for a small business loan? Their website doesn't even advertise home mortgages. This is deceptive marketing and phishing. I was never quoted any fees or terms nor given the name of any of their alleged lending partners by the agent who contacted me. The site reads like XXXX is the lender, but the agent who called me solicited himself as more of a loan packager who shops you around but wouldn't do it unless I gave him all my personal business info with no official contract or company forms, then they show up on your credit reports as various type companies including home mortgages! I requested an official letter stating I did not apply for nor receive or accept any loan offers from XXXX but was ignored.
