Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: IL
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Cashing a check

Complaint:
I wrote and mailed a check to pay a bill. I put it in the outgoing mail slot inside the post office. Someone stole my mailed check from the post office, changed the name of the payee and the amount and cashed it. This resulted in {$5000.00} being stolen from my account. I submitted a police report and completed all the paperwork the bank requested when I alerted them to the problem the day the altered check cleared my account. This was almost 6 months ago and I am still waiting on the bank to resolve this issue. The bank says that it is waiting for the bank that cashed the check to return the altered check to them.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
I sent a letter regarding inaccurate & unknown things on my credit report. To this day I have not received a response yet. I am being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. Under 15 U.S Code 1602 ( p ) - unauthorized use of my information. Under 15 U.S Code 1692j - Furnishing certain deceptive forms i am not participating in the collection of this alleged debt. Please cease and desist! So because it had been well over that time period I demand that these accounts get removed & deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the laws which were broken. My information was also impacted by the XXXX data breach & may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

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

Complaint:
I have a credit freeze and need it temporarily lifted for the mortgage refinancing. Two our of three credit reporting companies did it quickly and with no issues after verifying some personal information with me. With Experian, not only did I have the PIN from 3+ years ago, I also provided all correct information to check my identity, and this is the response - " To temporarily remove your security freeze, please mail us this letter ( or the information in it ), along with one copy of a government issued identification card, such as a drivers license, state ID card, etc., one copy of a utility bill, bank or insurance statement, etc., and a copy of your Social Security card or another document that displays your Social Security number. Make sure that each copy is legible, displays your name and current mailing address, and the date of issue ( statement dates must be recent ). To protect your personal identification information, Experian does not return correspondence sent to us. Send copies of any documents you wish to provide to us and always retain your original documents. We will validate your information and remove your security freeze for the timeframe you request '' And there is NO WAY to speak to a live representative to ask for help. Zero. The automated phone line responds with the same message. 

ARE YOU KIDDING??? I need the credit unfrozen now. I dont have time to mess around with MAILING them stuff and wait for them to mail it back. My bank or broker will get me whats needed, including a wire, instantly over the phone, while this PRIVATE company who collects all my information and participates in approving or disproving my credit without my consent thinks they can hold back my refinancing?? If they are so incompetent that they can lose customer data again unless they create a huge problem for the people ( who havent even approved this type of data collection! ), maybe they should be banned from participating in reviewing the creditworthiness of the customer? Seriously unbelievable experience.

Sub-issue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

Complaint:
Previously I filed a complaint, # XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I thought my complaint was resolved when the company Felix Patenaude sent a letter stating they will no longer contact me at ( XXXX ) XXXX to inquire about a XXXX XXXX XXXX. Today, I received another phone call from Felix Patenaude inquiring about a XXXX XXXX XXXX. I spoke with XXXX XXXX and told her again that there is no XXXX XXXX at this number.

Prior to my complaint with CFPB, I called Felix Patenaude twice to inform they not to call my phone number and informing them that I do not know nor related to the XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I called the person that signed the letter from Felix Patenaude and this person 's extension does not work, extension XXXX. I was later transferred to XXXX XXXX said she will again put a do not call on the file. This is not my debt however they keep calling me to ask the same questions about a XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
This collection all started about 2 years ago when XXXX XXXX collection agency call me about a XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX, AZ. I told them there was no XXXX XXXX XXXX at this number and not to call again. The person at XXXX XXXX did not like my answers to her so she tells me, " they will get me another way ''. Six months later I receive a phone call from Felix Patenaude, again asking for XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I explained to all the collection agencies that the XXXX ( no middle initial )  XXXX I know is my father-in-law. I passed away in XX/XX/XXXX, over 18 years ago and my father-in-law has never lived outside Hawaii. This is not his debt. 
These collection agency constantly call me and harass me about XXXX XXXX XXXX because a " XXXX '' search states some how connected to me or my husband. Both my husband and I do not know this XXXX XXXX XXXX nor have anything to do with him.

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC
State: MO
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit

Complaint:
Portfolio Recovery Associates has repeatedly called me from different numbers, in different states, and will not tell me who they're working for until I tell them my personal information. I have blocked at least 20 numbers, most of them from Washington state, and the latest from New Mexico.

This company also took me to court which I knew nothing about until I started getting mail from layers in my area about someone taking me to court, which I never heard about from Portfolio themselves. I had to find it through my state 's court records and found it that way. It has since been dismissed by the county, but it's now on my record. I could understand this harassment for a large sum of money, but for the amount I owe? This is plan harassment.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Since there have been multiple violations of the necessary reporting requirements, my report 's data is not reliable and full. Having stated that, I reject your accusations and challenge you to show me your justification for including this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e 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.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity.

Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate.

C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports.

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards.

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB XXXX FTC and my Attorney General.
