On XXXX XXXX I sent a letter along with my identity theft report that explains that I am a victim of identity theft and that there were accounts ( XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX {$3700.00}, XXXX XXXX {$0.00}, XXXX XXXX {$0.00}, XXXX XXXX  {$0.00} ) appearing on my report as a result of it. I explained that I'd never given anyone any permission or have any knowledge of the account ( s ) until I pulled my credit reports for review. I've asked this credit bureau to remove the fraudulent item ( s ) from my credit file and requested that they send me an updated copy showing the correction. As of today, the item is still reporting, affecting my credit. It would be of great pleasure if CFPB would assist me in resolve of this matter. Thanks.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
This is a duplicate request that was previously disputed. I recently applied for credit and the decline letter states I'm deceased and there is no FICO score available therefore got declined. When the decline letter was received it stated that I was deceased, I thought this issue was fixed but it appears it keep reappearing affecting my credit report. IF MY DATE OF BIRTH IS XX/XX/72 HOW CAN I ALSO BE DECEASED ON THE SAME DATE XX/XX/72? 

I tried to dispute the issue online with Transunion and their system is slow and locked up then eventually locked me out. Its a useless system. The CFPB should try using it to see how unconsumer friendly it is.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NV
Product: Credit card
Issue: Balance transfer

Complaint:
I was offered a 0 % introductory balance transfer by American Express on their " Blue Cash Everyday '' The offer was to expire XXXX XXXX 2016. Speaking with a representative on this day, XXXX/XXXX/2016, I was informed the offer is still available and I would be able to do a balance transfer from my XXXX card to the new Amex card in the amount of {$7800.00}. Today, XXXX XXXX, 2016, I received a letter from Amex ( dated XX/XX/2016 ) stating the offer was declined because the limit to transfer may not exceed {$7500.00}. When I called Amex today XXXX XXXX 2016, I questioned " their '' error hoping to discuss with a higher authority. However, I kept getting transferred to noone of authority after multiple request to speak with Management that can discuss and solve the issue at hand. I also requested a number other than a XXXX number I could call. No such luck. Between XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, 2016 my paitience had run out. Clearly my call was not going to get transferred to the correct level of Management to resolve the issue. After being transferred 5 times, my last words to an Amex rep were " I do not need you to put me on hold, I have been transferred 5 times and again not to a person that can help me. Please give me the contact name and phone number of a person in Management that can hand ; e this situation and do not put me on hold '' ... .you guest it, I was placed on hold! 

My aim is to have them accept the mistake by their employee of quoting the price of {$7800.00} and have them honor the original balance transfer offer that I was presented with even if it is to be the {$7500.00} limit that they are claiming. But my point is " their '' employee has made the mistake, not the consumer! 

Thank you for your time and patience in reading my complaint and for your dedication to public service.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
On XXXX XX/XX/2019, in XXXX, NC, my credit card was stolen. A {$150.00} charge was fraudulently made with the card. Bank of America refuses to refund the {$150.00} amount, claiming that the card was in my possession because " The chip was read, your [ my ] PIN was entered, and/or you [ I ] signed for the merchandise. '' On XXXX XX/XX/2019, my credit card was stolen, taken from my hand, by a young woman at a XXXX gas station ( on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NC ). I immediately drove to the nearest Bank Of America Banking Branch ( XXXX XXXX, here in XXXX, NC ), followed all instructions given by the branch officer, and filed a fraudulent use complaint while at the bank. 

My credit card was stolen ; therefore, any fraudulent use would include reading of the chip. 

I have never used a PIN in association with this credit card. I have no knowledge of a PIN associated with this credit card. 

I did not sign for any {$150.00} purchase associated with this or any other credit card. Nor have i ever purchased any items from this retailer ( reported on my online statement of account transactions as XXXX, on XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Once i returned home, my son viewed by account transactions, online. There was a charge for {$150.00} made at an area XXXX, and a denied charge at a gas station. Bank of America refuses to correct this {$150.00} charge. We ( my son and ) went to the XXXX and was given a receipt record of the purchase. The young lady foolishly used her rewards account with the purchase. We forwarded this receipt, which contains the young lady 's name, to Bank of America. Bank of America has yet to address or even mention this receipt. 

Your help in resolving this injustice will be greatly appreciated.

Company: LDF Holdings, LLC
State: KY
Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan
Sub-product: Payday loan
Issue: Was approved for a loan, but didn't receive the money

Complaint:
I took a loan from Lendumo on XX/XX/2023 but the money did not arrive until XX/XX/2023, at which time I immediately repaid the loan, however, the company insists on me paying interest for 2 days that I did not have the money. In the loan agreement it states that I being accruing interest on the disbursement date, and that in some circumstances the funds are not deposited as expected, and in that case the " disbursement date '' will be automatically adjusted in the system when the funds are disbursed. I have repaid the {$2500.00} but was still charged {$84.00} in interest that I refuse to pay. 

I suspect they are doing this to many unfortunate consumers, collecting XXXX XXXX XXXX from struggling families across the nation. They are telling me if I refuse to pay this illegally generated interest that I will never be able to borrow money from them again. So if you refuse to abide by their fraudulent scheme you're penalized. 

This organization needs to be investigated, and consumers made aware that they could be paying interest that they do not owe.
