Issue: Managing an account

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018 - Wells Fargo allowed a non-federal entity ( XXXX XXXX XXXXd XXXX ) a law firm for an HOA to place a hard hold on my checking account. This has caused grave and emotional stress as I use this account to pay all my bills. 

I tried addressing this matter with the bank and have not reach any success. Under banking rules and laws ; holds are only allowed by federal government agencies - in which the current vendor requesting a hold is not a federal agency, its a HOA law office. 

On XX/XX/2018 - all monies placed in my account were wiped out causing even greater harm.

Complaint:
To whom it may concern, I have recently discovered that there is unauthorized information in my name being used on my credit reports and would like to file a dispute. This information is unauthorized and I did not approve it to reflect on my credit reports. I believe I may be a victim of identity theft. I have a security lock on my credit report and I was not alerted to this information being authorized on my reports and I am insisting that they be deleted from my credit report as soon as possible. These items are fraudulent and impacting my relationships with creditors. I have reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission, please review the enclosed copies of the Federal Trade Commissions Identity Theft Affidavit in regard to this incident. In addition, I have attached a PDF document reflecting all items that were found to be unauthorized by any such. Please investigate these matters and remove the disputed items as soon as possible.

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:
See attached!! Despite my previous XXXX written requests, the unverified items listed below remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You stated in your responses to my 2 previous dispute letters to you that you have verified that the items listed below are accurate, but you failed to send me copies of the documents that you used to verify these accounts as per my request. 

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 XXXX written requests is also evidence of your willful disregard of Federal Law. 

When we go to litigation, through the discovery process you will be required to produce these documents along with an affidavit swearing under oath that these are the true and correct documents that you used to verify the disputed accounts. The fact that you dont have any of the said documents in your files is proof that you did not properly verify the accounts within 30 days as required by law and the Court will order you to delete them.

I have thoroughly reviewed the Metro 2 Credit Reporting Guidelines, and it is evident that the aforementioned items do not adhere to these guidelines. As such, I request that you investigate these inaccuracies and take immediate action to delete them from my credit file.

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.

Complaint:
I as the original creditor, the banks did not give me any notice that i can rescind or let me know we have the option to not let them report this on my credit report neither. 15 usc 6802 ( a ) opt out general a b & c. By law, insurance supposed to be included in all mortgages and car loans, 15 usc 1605 ( a ) # 5. Its against the law for banks to lend its credits anyway. Farmers & miners bank v. Bluefield Nat 'l bank 11 f 2d 83, 271 us 669. Their are many more violations. The banks have been getting away with it far too long now & they think we the consumers wont catch up with their financial fraud schemes. It's called promissory fraud. There is no money : read hJr 192. Every bill you get comes in a positive. They owe you when its in a negative. Everything is already paid for before you even signed anything. What they doing is illegal under art 1, sec 10, par 1 of the constitution. Their fraud makes the signature agreement null & void period. Fraud trumps any contract. And where is the banks signature? 

i never got the two copies of the rights i have so this is fraud. i am contacting the bank and gathering evidence for possible litigation. 

12 CFR 226.15 - Right of rescission. i after sending you notice of Rescission will discontinue to make payments of the car. if this car is not removed from my credit report i will seek remedy for damages. i never gave Permissible purposes 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports to disclose any of this information on my credit report. there are many violations.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018 a charge of {$63.00} was made for XXXX XXXX XXXX. I do not own an XXXX. I attempted to contact XXXX XXXX  customer service today XX/XX/18 and was told by the automatic answering machine that the number was no longer in service. I tried several other means of contact via XXXX, corporate and my local store. It was hours later before I found out myself that the number was working again. I then waited 20 minutes to speak to someone, be transferred to the fraud dept. and be told there's nothing they could do. Apparently, I need to contact the merchant and XXXX refused to do anything at all about it. I was under the impression that XXXX alone had a policy regarding me not being responsible for fraud charges under certain circumstances ( which I qualify for ). I told her I couldn't find a real contact number for XXXX so she gave me one she was certain would work. It didn't. It connected me to someplace advertising addiction and upon recalling it and double checking the number, it told me the number didn't work in my area. So I am at the mercy of a company that is impossible to get a hold of and my credit card company who is difficult to contact. No one has hours a day to dispute a single transaction. I feel that XXXX isn't holding up their end of the XXXX guarantee, assuming they have to, and is also intentionally being uncooperative. I want the charge removed.

Complaint:
I need Lowes Inquiry deleted. Unauthorized use of my personal information & I have no open personal accounts with them. 

A store attendant at Lowes encouraged me to opened a Commercial account for my business with the company. I agreed to opening a commercial account ONLY. But specifically told him multiple times that as long as it is not connected to my personal credit, ( because as I am in the home buying process & I was told not to have any Hard Inquiries or open any personal credit cards on my personal credit ). He assured me that there was no connection with business & personal credit as they are separate for a reason. A few days later, I saw a hard inquiry on my personal credit profile and I have no open accounts on my personal credit with Lowes. The store apologized & admitted wrong doing & I have been trying to work with them to solve the issue as the card issuer is not Lowes but Synchrony ( they have confirmed that I have no open accounts on my personal credit profile but the hard inquiry is still there ) but Im realizing that they have been taken for a loop, ( making me go in circles for over a month ) trying to get the hard inquiry removed off my personal credit profile as they promised. 

I have no personal open accounts with Lowes but I have a Hard Inquiry on my personal credit that was unauthorized by me.
