Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: IL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I opened a Weekends Only credit card provided through Wells Fargo Financial National Bank to receive no interest if paid in full with payments. The promotion was set to expire on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I scheduled a payment to process on XX/XX/XXXX for {$680.00}. This was to pay off the balance and avoid the deferred interest. On XX/XX/XXXX, only {$40.00}, the minimum payment, was posted to my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, {$320.00} was charged to my account as deferred interest. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Wells Fargo Financial National Bank regarding the incorrect payment being applied on XX/XX/XXXX that was different from what I had requested. Wells Fargo Financial National Bank informed me that the terms of the promotion were not met, so they could not do anything about it. I stated that I wanted to pay the balance immediately, as I had requested previously, and have the interest taken off my account. I was informed they would not remove the interest, even if the error was their fault. They provided no solution and repeatedly informed me that they would not do anything to correct the issue.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
I was a victim of identity theft and noticed unauthorized inquiries and accounts reporting on my credit report. I contact the creditors as well an the three bureuas to take action to getting this information corrected. I was told I needed to submit an FTC report along with police report which I provided. After about 10dyas I called to check the status of my case and was told by a supervisor that my documentation that I printed from the FTC site was not approved. This has caused me emotion stress and cause me denial of applications due to unauthorized, inaccurate reporting from the credit bureaus from no fault of my own due to negligence of my information being leaked from a data breach from the credit bureau. I have done what was asked of me and the credit bureau is not following the law where it states FCRA ( Fair Credit Reporting ACT ), legally these unverified & unauthorized items MUST be removed!!

The following are some of the dates of the letters I have mailed out : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ALL THESE LETTERS HAVE BEEN SENT VIA CERTIFIED MAIL AND HAVE A STAMP WHEN THEY HAVE RECIVED MY LETTERS.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2019 I had a {$150.00} XXXX XXXX Credit Card Account Closed with a Balance of {$270.00} at which point I had made arrangements and made Payments to pay the Balance owed in which it reflects on my Credit Report that the last Payment was made on XX/XX/2019 I don't have the records but I know I paid all but about {$50.00} of this entire debt. which shows as a {$0.00} Balance on my Credit Report. However, In XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX sold the Debt. to Midland Credit Management. Since MCM has purchased the Debt they have contacted me multiple time by phone and mail. They continue to say I owe the entire {$270.00} and I have disputed this and have been unable to resolve it but simply the fact the Debt shows a last payment 3 Months and 3 weeks after the account was closed makes it more than obvious enough that I paid the Debt after the account was Closed. In all fairness I truly believe that Midland Credit Management should be fined the {$1000.00} for continuously Violating my rights under the Fair Debt Collection act. Plus everything about the Debt and or account be removed from all three reporting agencies. 
I would expect with the fine money a letter saying they are sorry for trying to collect a Debt I have previously settled before they purchased a Non existent Debt.

Complaint:
I went to branch to open a new checking account with a bonus code today, XX/XX/2018, at XXXX, and this account was successfully opend at around XXXX, and the banker gave me a welcome document case and told me how to sign up for the online bank. I went home around XXXX and tried to set up the online banking. Then I found the banker typed my cell phone with a wrong number, so I could not receive the text message. So I reqeust log in with security questions, and reset my cell phone numbers, then I was able to log in. But, the most ridiculous thing was, around XXXX, I received an email said " Access Denied for Funds Transfers '', so I tried to log in to my online banking again, and the system stated that my log in information did not match with the records. So I called the online banking department, and the representative told me that my checking account was already closed out based on the bank 's decision. It turns out that my checking account only survived for no more than 5 hours, and the bank just eat my two initial deposits and my bonus coupon code and killed the checking account at the same day due to the typo from the banker?!

Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: DC
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018 at XXXX, I spoke to a Sallie Mae employee ( who, at some point, decided to brag about how his cosigner was " dead '' and that his loans were " taken care of '' ) to inquire about my loans. This employee went on to lie to me and tell me that I could fill out a " volunteer deferment form '' ( which, in name, does not exist ) or an " in-school deferment form '' ( which does not exist for medical leave students ) in order to have my loan payments deferred before I go back to school this fall. 

I received call ( s ) every single day which did not help my XXXX at all given that I would often be on hold for over 40 minutes. At some point I even uploaded my medical leave confirmation papers and two agents told me both document files ( all 17 + 1 = 18 pages ) were never received which was also probably a lie. 

Since that phone call I have had at least 4 other Sallie Mae employees ( including my supposed " case manager '' in Delaware ) be dishonest with me about what Sallie Mae could possibly offer me regarding temporary assistance in deferment.  Additionally, they would often remark about how soon they could take legal action against me and ruin my credit score even further for up to 7 years. All the while, my credit score /has/ plummeted 250+ points with no recourse because of Sallie Mae. 

I have probably spent over 7 hours on the phone with agents from Sallie Mae in  order to resolve this issue and out of it I have received nothing but abysmal credit reports and snark for trying to advocate for it.

Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
I sent a dispute to Experian, advising them of several credit inquires that are listed on my credit report, of which I do not recall giving them permission to check my credit. I have taken time to contact these companies and none of them have been able to prove that I applied for credit with their company and gave permission. Per Section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, credit bureaus must have permissible purpose from the creditor, written authorization, and proof that I initiated the hard inquiry. This law must be followed, otherwise anyone could check peoples credit anytime they wanted. I am trying to achieve several financial goals in the immediate future, so it is imperative that Im able to get this resolved. 

Under the provisions of FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ), the bureaus are required to have conducted a reinvestigation of my dispute filed XX/XX/2020, and to have concluded that reinvestigation within 30 days of the date of receipt of my dispute, which was XX/XX/2020. I sent this letter by certified / return receipt, so I know when they received it. I received no response from this bureau on this request.

XXXX XXXX has reported that my credit card is overdue and that I have missed two payments. They have sent this information and as a result my credit score has dropped significantly. I explained to XXXX that I am a member of the United States XXXX XXXX and that I was unable to make payments due to being away from home for extended amounts of time. Also I was not aware of the autopay feature when I applied for the card. I believe that XXXX took advantage of this and as a result my account went delinquent.

Complaint:
Naviant keeps putting on my credit profile a delinquent account every month which is hurting my credit score. The offending account is over 15 years old and should not be showing up on my credit report every month as Collection/Chargeoff. 
Delinquent AccountXXXXXX/XX/XXXX Delinquent AccountXXXXXX/XX/XXXX Delinquent AccountXXXXXX/XX/XXXX Delinquent AccountXXXXXX/XX/XXXX Has went on every month for the past several years!!! 
I want them to stop reporting it as Collection/Chargeoff every month as I'm trying to rebuild my credit. This account should be resolved and even if it was still in collections, it should not show up every month as such, as others don't. It's in there one time when it's happening and it's not reported on a monthly basis. 
Thank you
