State: CA
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:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Complaint:
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with your decision to decline my identity theft claim.

Otherwise we will be seeking a legal remedy in this matter.

State: MD
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

Complaint:
I am also having the same problem with XXXX, in that my paid XXXX account had booted me to their MyEquifax.com, but to later not allow me to sign in even after going through the sign in procedure. This is very similar to what happened on Transunion, only that I've not been able to get Free reports suing Annual Credit Report. At present I'm not able to access the site and even if I go over the sign up process again it will later prevent me from accessing the Myequifax.com site. 

When I was able to access the XXXX site and the regular XXXX site when I was paying for it, it contained some different information that what I should be able to also see on the Myequifax. When I asked about the switchover was told they were switching over everyone with a non paying account, though at the same time I was paying to access Equifax itself. 

This is a very similar problem that I'm having also with XXXX, and is troubling to me to not be able to read from searching that anyone else has been switched or had even mentioned being switched and not being able to get Credit reports, from niether Equifax nor through Annual Credit report.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
The credit bureaus are reporting my credit score as a XXXX. I have paid all outstanding items on my credit report as of XX/XX/2022. Instead of my score increasing to accurately report the fully paid debts, my score was dropped from around XXXX to a XXXX. Per the credit bureaus, my score can not go below a XXXX. I did not have extensive debt reporting, repossessions, bankruptcies, liens or foreclosures. When I called the agencies requesting immediate remediation, I was advised that there was nothing that could be done, but, a supervisor would return my call and my complaint would be escalated. I have received no response to date. This score is incorrect/inaccurate and has caused personal harm and hardship. The agencys are also reporting this to parties requesting credit worthiness information causing declined credit applications, denied rental applications etc. 
This is illegal and in violation of FCRA.

These accounts, originating from LVNV Funding LLC, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX are unauthorized and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other applicable laws, including the fundamental principle of privity of contract. 

Specifically, these account violate : Privity of Contract : I have never entered into any contract or agreement with LVNV Funding LLC, XXXX XXXX  or XXXX XXXX XXXX and therefore they have no legal basis to claim any debt from me.

Their inclusion of this account on my credit report constitutes a reckless disregard for my rights, a clear violation of the law, and a fundamental breach of the principle of privity of contract. 

I demand the immediate : Investigation of this matter by the CFPB. 
Removal of the inaccurate collection account from my credit report by LVNV Funding LLC, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Complaint:
We have called Kia Motor Finance 10 separate times on this same issue. 
The problem began when we canceled the GAP insurance and extended warranty on this loan. They said it would take 90 days for it to be processed. It did take that long. 
When it was finally processed and they received the money it was not allocated to my balance. First it said online that I didnt have to make a payment until XXXX. I called them and notified them I wanted the refund applied to the principal. They assured me it would be applied within three business days. It was not.

I have called every three business days for weeks and received the same answer. There is an additional XXXX I paid which I also asked to be applied to principal which has not been allocated. 
When I called on XX/XX/XXXX, after talking to XXXX I was transferred to a supervisor XXXX who assured me it would be allocated within 3 business days. 
I called back twice on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX and XXXX both put me a hold for a supervisor and I was disconnected both times. 
I have also requested my money back and XXXX told me this can not be done. She also stated there is no one s be her to speak about this issue. 
I do not know what to do. I can not get anywhere with this company. My payments have been on time and I have no problem making them which is why I want this money allocated to the principal and not future payments.

Complaint:
On XXXX XX/XX/2019 I overpaid my Bank of America credit card account by {$27000.00}. On XXXX XXXX I discovered this and contacted B of A asking for a refund to my XXXX Bank account ( where the funds had originated ). I was told it would take 3 - 5 business days. On the 5th day I contacted B of A asking where was the refund. I was told it might really be 7 - 10 business days. Other phone calls have indicated it might be 10 - 14 or 14 - 21 days. I kept being told that the delay was because of the large amount of money involved. I have made at least six phone calls, all with lengthy time spent on " hold. '' On XXXX XXXX I received a letter from B of A dated XXXX XXXX that stated that the funds had been transferred to my checking account. When the funds had not turned up by the 11th, I called and was told it may take several days to " clear through your bank. '' My bank says they process immediately -- no delay. 
On XXXX XXXX the funds have still not been returned. Now I am told by a " supervisor '' at B of A that they refund accounts using XXXX as the intermediary party and XXXX had been given the funds on the XXXX. Obviously the letter was false. 
Now they say 30 business days from the XXXX, meaning this could be the middle of XXXX. These are electronic transfers from bank to bank. I can not believe it could take over two months to move $ XXXX from B of A to XXXX. This is ridiculous and unethical, maybe illegal. 
The credit balance B of A held in my credit card account was far in excess of my balance owed, yet now they want to charge me late fees.
