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:
I have attempted numerous times and have disputed information pertaining to my equifax and XXXX credit reports. I have requested that the above credit reporting agencies provide proof on how certain accounts are verified and validated. To this date they have not provided information on how it was that they verified accounts that i have disputed. I have disputed at least 4 times in XXXX and have allowed the 30-45 days for the above credit reporting agency to properly investigate, verify and validate the accounts with proof. i have specifically disputed with the collection agencies as well and up to this day they are not able to validate or verify the accounts that they are reporting to belong to me. So i dont see how it is that the above credit reporting agency has validated and verified that the account or accounts belong to. The items have appeared on my credit report due to negligence on behalf of the credit reporting agency have ruined my credit report and reputation. i have struggled to obtain fair and competitive interest rates due to the misinformation on my credit report.

Complaint:
Sad I now have to pursue this avenue, this vehicle among others that were purchased via identity theft XXXX refuses to remove this fraudulent information off my credit report rejecting Experian 's attempt. This is obviously Identity theft because it is a 1st payment default which is fraud. XXXX is unable to produce even one verified payment or accurate documentation to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that this is a legitimate debt. I am hopeful that this issue will be resolved here without having to take this in front of a judge.

Complaint:
Walmart/Synchrony Bank credit Card keeps taking payments from the wrong bank account causing overdraft fees. I changed the payment information from one bank to another in XXXX and while it shows the proper information on the website they still try to take the payment from the old account causing overdraft fees and after the first improper payment was applied and when it returned they shut down my credit limit for their mistake. Since then they still have the correct bank account information in their system but continue to try to run the old bank information. this has caused {$140.00} in overdraft fees plus countless hours of talking to their customer service reps. that can only tell me that this isn't happening because when their agents look online the only account they show is the correct one. No one will address the problems with the old account.

Complaint:
I have two store credit cards offered by comenity bank. My accounts have always been in good standing and I had both cards longer than 1 year. After the shelter in place order went into place in XXXX of XXXX, I was forced to close my small business in XXXX XXXX. I lived off of my savings for 3 months and continued to pay my bills until that income ran out. At that point, I called all credit cards and asked for options. Most of my cards negotiated and my accounts remained current. When I called to negotiate the terms for my XXXX/Wayfair  cards, representatives would not reduce late fees. The balance for not paying for a few months on both cards was too much for me to pay. I had to prioritize what little money I had in order to continue to live. A few months later, I applied for unemployment XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ). I then called to negotiate terms for both cards once again, but the representatives said they could not remove late fees resulting in minimum payments I still could not afford on my EDD fixed income ( XXXX XXXX XXXX. Now both card balances have DOUBLED and the minimum/past due balance is more than I receive in unemployment in a month. Not to mention both cards are being reported as charge offs. My credit score has dropped over XXXX points and continues to go down. I have been harassed by phone regarding these cards and honestly can not believe the predatory practices which began during the pandemic. Not only was my business forced to close, I couldn't pay for my bills, I lost my apartment, and now my credit score is ruined. I was forced to stay home because of a XXXX. Banks who most likely received some sort of bailout funding because of financial hardships have no right continuing to add interest and late fees when a person is struggling. ESPECIALLY, if the accountholder was always in good standing when there was no pandemic/shelter in place order.
