Complaint:
I disputed 9 late payments on my credit report which equals 1 XXXX XXXX payment. I contacted XXXX  about the 30 days late for XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX agreed to update the late payment to current, as XX/XX/XXXX was in special forebearance, updated to a XXXX, and was affected by a declared natural disaster for XXXX XXXX, during XXXX XXXX. XXXX sent me a letter to confirm the update to bring my payment current, back in XXXX of XXXX. I have disputed the Experian credit report to Experian to update my credit report. ( XXXX and XXXX has updated to current, no late payments last year. ) Experian system was malfunctioning, they updated a month I did not dispute, they updated the credit report to show 90 days late ( which was previously 30 late ), and never corrected this. The credit report should have removed the late payments. 

I have spent 90 days, and 3 attempts to correct the Experian Credit report with no success. And now I must start all over again and contact XXXX to ask them to remove the late payments, which they have already agreed to do and report the update to Experian. 

Experian has neglected to update my credit report, while spamming me with offers, and lowering my credit score by XXXX points when there were no new events to warrant the decrease, while I was in dispute. 

I have attached the letter from XXXX date XXXX. Tonight, XXXX Experian completed the 3rd dispute saying the late payment was confirmed and verified. this is a lie. The letter from XXXX and my phone call with XXXX proves otherwise. 

Experian has not dealt with this dispute honestly, therefore it is not resloved.

Complaint:
I received a copy of my credit report in XXXX of XXXX. I began my disputes since XX/XX/XXXX. I have sent several FTC letters to this company along with a police report complaint # indicating that my identity had been compromised & that they were reporting fraudulent accounts on my report, affecting my credit worthiness and negatively impacting my life. Along with these reports I have provided written letters to this company several times to which I have the tracking numbers too, letting them know of ALL of the many consumer laws they were breaking. They have ignored my concerns and continue to lie over the phone stating that they haven't received any of my letters. Prior to this another supervisor told me my documents were received but not validated. When asked to explain how legal documents were not validated, he suggested sending them again, costing me extra funds. Below I have attached the letters sent to this company time and time again. This is a privately owned company acting outside the laws. I HAVE SPOKEN TO XXXX AT EXPERIAN ON XX/XX/XXXX AND I HAVE RECORD OF SPEAKING TO XXXX XXXX AT XXXX WHO CLAIMS TO BE A SUPERVISOR ON XXXX XXXX. 


HERE ARE SOME OF THE SEVERAL LAWS THEY HAVE BROKEN : According to 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 - Block of information resulting from identity theft ( a ) Block Except as otherwise provided in this section, aconsumer reporting agencyshall block the reporting of any information in thefileof aconsumerthat theconsumeridentifies as information that resulted from an allegedidentity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of theconsumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of anidentity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by theconsumer ; and ( 4 ) a statement by theconsumerthat the information is not information relating to any transaction by theconsumer.

Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account.

Furthermore, In accordance with The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public law 91-506, Title VI, Section 611, Subsection A-D

Complaint:
I contacted this company to dispute an item they are wrongly reporting on my credit report. They said they don't have to provide verification as they are the original creditor. But their info and address are on my credit report. I have two distinct problems with this company : 1. I don't recognize the item on my credit reports, to begin with. I am asking them to verify with competent evidence, bearing my signature, that the item is being reported accurately. I contacted them because THEY are the ones on my credit reports and it's THEIR address I see. So either this company is out of line and has directly violated the FCRA and FDCPA by not verifying this alleged account following a formal dispute, or they are reporting false and unverifiable information, also a direct violation of the FCRA and FDCPA. 

2. If they in fact feel they are not subject to the FCRA and the FDCPA, and do not need to provide verification that the alleged account is mine, then they need to remove this account from my credit reports because they have no business reporting an account that can not /will not be verified as mine with competent evidence bearing my signature verifying that I am contractually obligated to pay the alleged amount. 

Both of these issues represent a very serious error in their reporting and they are unwilling to do anything about it.

Complaint:
My sister died on XX/XX/2022. The probate court assigned me as personal representative to handle her affairs. The court provided me with written notification of this, and my attorney advised me to open an estate checking account to pay my sister 's final expenses.. I called my sisters bank, USAA, to start this process.

USAA advised me that they did not handle estate accounts. Being that there are no " brick and mortar '' USAA locations, I asked the rep with whom I spoke how to handle this. The rep informed me that they would issue a check directly to me, that I could take to my local bank, or wherever I opened the estate account. The value of my sister 's accounts was rather high, and I did not feel comfortable with a check of that value being in the mail. I asked if we could wire the money, and they said, " no ''. I was told that the only option to transfer the money quickly would be to establish a checking account through USAA in my name, and transfer my late sister 's funds into that account. I was further told that the transfer would be instantaneous if I chose to do that. I opened the checking account in my name as USAA RECOMMENDED. 

Once I opened the checking account ( on or about XX/XX/2022 ), I was then told that it would take 15 business days for the money to transfer from my sister 's account into the new account. When I protested and stated that this was not what I was told originally, I was told by the rep that it was simply USAA 's procedure. 

On or around XX/XX/2022, the money from my sister 's account finally transferred into the newly established checking account that USAA opened in my name. Once this happened, I called USAA to have these funds wired to the estate checking account that I had opened at my local bank. MAY I REITERATE THAT THIS IS THE PROCESS THAT USAA TOLD ME TO DO! This time when I called, the rep with whom I spoke told me that I could not wire the money because my account had not yet been open for 30 days!

My overall complaint is that USAA will find ANY reason they can to not release funds, or delay releasing funds. USAA has clearly failed to understand the simple concept upon which the banking industry was founded ... .A secure place to keep your money and access it when YOU need it. NOT when the bank decides to release it.

Complaint:
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concern and submit a complaint to WESTLAKE FINANCIAL SVC regarding the improper use of my credit report and the reporting of inaccurate information on my file. I previously sent a letter to your office requesting an investigation into certain unverifiable accounts. Despite your assurance of conducting a proper investigation, upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered that inaccurate information persists. The discrepancies include but are not limited to, the date opened, date of last activity, date reported, account status, and payment history. It is disheartening to note that such inaccuracies continue to be reflected in my credit report, despite the initial request for investigation. I believe this situation infringes upon my rights as outlined in 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A, which emphasizes my right to privacy. Additionally, 15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A Section 2 stipulates that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. I kindly request a thorough review of my case and the prompt correction of the inaccuracies in my credit report. Your cooperation in resolving this matter is highly appreciated. I trust that, as a reputable credit reporting agency, WESTLAKE FINANCIAL SVC will take the necessary steps to rectify this situation and ensure the accuracy of the information in my credit file. I have attached an FTC report with the report number XXXX to support this complaint.

Complaint:
I ordered the XXXX album and instead I received a movie in the mail on XX/XX/XXXX. I purchased the album for {$39.00}. I sent an email to the merchant : horrormerch.com and got an automated response saying they will contact me and never did. I filed a dispute with my credit card company and they still demand more information on the dispute after I fully explained what happened and they reversed the credit that I was entitled to. XXXX sent a fake shipping label to the credit card company claiming it was them who sent the item, whereas in real time I had no clue as to whom it is from. There was no return company name or anything on the package. The credit card company is deceptive -- stated they would close the case on XX/XX/XXXX and did not. I attached documentation to support my case. It includes a letter I sent to citi credit card company and still they refused to close the case fairly and in a timely manner.
