State: WI
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
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:
Transunion, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX are all reporting an unverified bankruptcy. When I disputed the item and asked them to verify it, they said they verified it through the courts.

That is impossible and incorrect. The courts DO NOT speak to or verify items with third party agencies or credit bureaus. I even sent them the letter to prove this and they still are improperly showing this unverified bankruptcy.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
I was attempting to buy concert tickets from a listing on XXXX. He suggested to use XXXX since it was involved with the the major banks of XXXX XXXX  XXXX, his bank, and Wells Fargo, my bank. He told me he would electronically transfer the tickets to my XXXX account upon receiving the XXXX XXXX, and I would get an email of the notification. No such email was rec 'd by me. He called me a few minutes later to tell me that the XXXX transfer did not go through because we haven't done it before with each other, and I needed to call the bank to confirm the transfer.This was my first time using XXXX. I called to file a fraud claim with Wells Fargo, they said the transfer had indeed been completed. I told Wells Fargo that they are facilitating fraud with other banks if there is no mechanism to unwind an unfulfilled, fraudulent transaction. It's simply wrong in this electronic age to allow banks to facilitate a fraudulent transfer of money, since two step verification with a security code can be installed to protect the sender and receiver in multiple steps of a transaction. 

The amount in question is {$200.00}.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX
Product: Credit card
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint:
I had a credit card issued by Citi. According to Citi statement for the billing period XXXX/XXXX/2015 XX/XX/2015, they received my last payment ( {$4600.00} ) on XXXX/XXXX/2015. This was the total unpaid balance on my account on the day I paid. The statement for the billing period showed an unpaid balance of {$51.00}. After receiving this statement, I called Citi to close my account. I requested the person ( a female ) who closed my account to send me a letter explaining how they come up with {$51.00}. She told me that she can cancel this {$51.00} if I keep the account rather than closing it. I told her that I do not need this account anymore and willing to pay the amount. My only curiosity was to find out how they came up with {$51.00} while they received my full account balance of {$4600.00} on XXXX/XXXX/2015. She agreed to do that. While I am waiting a letter from Citi, I received a Citi statement in my email. To my surprise, this time the amount is {$77.00} ( {$25.00} penalty for not paying on time ). So I called Citi again. I again placed the same request as before to the person I talked to ( a male ). He agreed with me that he will send what I requested. Today, XXXX/XXXX/2015 I received by mail nothing but normal monthly statements ( past three months ) that are accessible to me online. I am pretty sure, they will send another statement claiming an unpaid amount of at least {$100.00}. I believe, as a borrower, I have the right to know how interests are calculated. Now it seems that Citi people, for some reason, do n't want to do that.

State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
Credit Bureaus failed to provide me with a proper investigation as well as provide me physical proof that the account I disputed was my account. This is unacceptable. The FCRA gives them 30 DAYS. They have taken over 90 ; this is a violation and they are required to remove all of the accounts that they have failed to investigate. There is no way that the FCRA should be ignored and I have to suffer, especially during a time when credit is needed for employment, dwelling, insurance, and more. There is too much going on right now to request a consumer to wait EVEN LONGER than federally mandated. The FCRA was created for a reason. They are to follow it. Every item should be removed

15 USC 1681b is a section of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which is a federal law that regulates the collection, use, and dissemination of consumer credit information by credit reporting agencies. Section 15 USC 1681b specifically addresses the permissible purposes for which consumer credit reports can be accessed and used by third parties.

Under 15 USC 1681b, credit reporting agencies are only allowed to furnish consumer credit reports to those who have a permissible purpose as defined by the FCRA. Permissible purposes for accessing and using consumer credit reports include : Credit transactions : When a consumer applies for credit, such as a loan, credit card, or mortgage, the creditor has a permissible purpose to request and obtain the consumer 's credit report to assess their creditworthiness. 
Employment purposes : Employers may request and obtain consumer credit reports for employment purposes, but only with the written consent of the consumer. This typically applies to positions that require financial responsibility or access to sensitive financial information. 
Insurance underwriting : Insurance companies may request and obtain consumer credit reports for underwriting purposes, such as determining rates and eligibility for insurance coverage.

Court orders and legal requirements : Credit reports may be accessed and used in response to a court order, subpoena, or other legal requirement.

Legitimate business needs : Other legitimate business needs, as defined by the FCRA, may also constitute permissible purposes for obtaining consumer credit reports. This typically requires a valid reason and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
