State: TN
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: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
Dear Legal Department, This credit dispute is being submitted as a new evidence dispute. The accounts that are being disputed, does not belong to me. Below is my sworn statement concerning these credit issues.

It is my sworn statement that I declare under penalty of perjury ( " under the laws of the United States " if executed outside of the United States '' ) that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Further, I certify that I am qualified and authorized to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and a willful misstatement or omissions of material facts constitutes a federal criminal violation punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable l1S perjury under 18U.S.C. 1621.

The tradelines listed below are items currently within my credit file, and none of these are related to any transaction that was made by me. It is my official statement that someone and/or several people have opened these accounts and made transactions on these accounts without my knowledge or authorization, my personal information has been used to obtain goods, services, or money : and the person ( s ) responsible for creating these accounts.

I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, which I have enclosed within this dispute package. I have reached out to all of these creditors and have made them aware that these accounts were fraudulently opened, and they have known this for several months, but have yet to remove these accounts from my credit reports. Some of the creditors have been cooperative and have removed the accounts, but others have refused to remove the fraudulent accounts. Therefore, I have come to you, the credit reporting agencies to resolve these issues. The law says that you must block these accounts while being investigated, and I expect that you will do so.

I made an attempt to file a police report, but I was informed by my county that it did not constitute as an emergency and that they would not file the report because I didn't have any information on the person who used my information, nor did I know how my information was obtained by this person.

Likewise, these COLLECTION ACCOUNTS are also not mine. None of these belong to me. This means that I was not the person, which had an account with the original creditor, which has sold these accounts to these collection agencies that are now reporting the debts.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
I have been trying for over a year to get someone to help me regarding removing this inaccurate information from my credit reports. I have a Bankruptcy on my Equifax, XXXX and XXXX credit reports that was dismissed and never discharged because I never went to court for the judgement because I found a job before I had to file bankruptcy so I withdrew my request for the court to begin an active bankruptcy. I have written letters to XXXX Bankruptcy Court numerous times only for them to not answer my certified mail even after I paid for them an envelope to send me the information to be corrected. All 3 credit bureaus claim to have verified the information with XXXX Bankruotcy Court but no one has sent me proof or contract or court documents of an active bankruptcy because one simply does not exist. All copies of the letters that I sent and dates are attached for proof. Please I am begging to remove this inaccuracy from my credit report. I do not wish to file court proceedings against Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  for reporting inaccurate information that is a violation of my rights as a consumer. Please remove Bankruptcy from my credit report within 15 days according to FCRA.

State: VA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
We were notified we were in Breach of contract with being two months behind on our mortgage and were given until XXXX XXXX  2017. I called to set up a payment plan to bring it up to date by the XXXX XXXX XXXX but were told they could not take single payments only the total due. Then we brought the mortgage up to date by XX/XX/XXXX and received a letter on the XX/XX/XXXX stating that we were still in Breach. Today, XX/XX/XXXX 2017 a woman was dispatched to my house to take pictures, clearly trespassing on my property and confronted by my wife, asking her what she was doing. The women showed my wife where the bank, 5/3 Bank, had instructed her to knock on the door and if nobody answered then she was to take pictures of the house. A week earlier a man from 5/3 Bank had come to the door and my son answered and showed that we were occupying the house and the utilities were on. There is undo harassment coming from this bank. 5/3 Bank is run by incompetent individuals, when you ask to speak to a supervisor you are told that one will call you back and there is never a call back.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of several accounts, which you refused. I submitted enough information for you to carry out a reasonable investigation of my dispute, since you obviously did not investigate this account thoroughly enough the last time I submitted one. The other bureaus have already verified all of these fraudulent accounts and has removed that account. They have stated when I have called them, that they have contacted your agency numerous times to have the other account removed to no avail, often noting unreasonable hold times to get through to the fraud department. 

If you had investigated properly, rather than use your XXXX system, you would have known, that not only have ever been late on this account, but that I am not the owner of this account, though your company claims to have verified this. 

It is at this time that I will point out that in XXXX v XXXX, XXXX v. XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX v. XXXX, Equifax, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form through the XXXX  system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. 

Additionally, the following accounts do not belong to me and have been removed by the other credit bureaus and deemed fraudulent : 1.XXXX  # XXXX 2. XXXX XXXX # XXXX 3. XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX 4. XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX 5. XXXX XXXX # XXXX If you do not initiate an investigation regarding my dispute, as is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. As Im sure you are aware, each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$1000.00} should this matter end up in court. Equifax and XXXX refuse to allow me to dispute my accounts online anymore. 

I look forward to an expedient resolution of this matter, XXXX, XXXX XXXX

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: DE
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Opening an account
Sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

Complaint:
An offer was sent to receive a {$200.00} bonus for opening a checking account. The terms stated to open the account by XX/XX/2018 and make a direct deposit of {$500.00} or more within the first 90 days to receive the bonus. 

An attempt was made to open the account online on XX/XX/18, but there was an error and said to finish by calling or going to a branch. On XX/XX/18, we went into the XXXX, MD branch to complete the application process using the promotion sent in the mail. 

Following the terms and conditions, a direct deposit was made on XX/XX/18 for more than the required amount in the promotion. After a few months, M & T was contacted via online secure messaging on XX/XX/18 to confirm if the bonus would post. An agent replied on XX/XX/18 that the bonus should post by XX/XX/18 if the account is in good standing and the requirements have been met. No bonus posted by XX/XX/18, so another secure message was sent on XX/XX/18 to inquire. M & T replied on XX/XX/18 stating that the offer was not for the primary account holder but the joint account holder. As a result, they said the bonus would not post. 

Based on this, they never set up the account correctly in the branch by not making the primary account holder the name on the offer. After speaking with the branch on XX/XX/18, they continued to insist that they would not give the bonus.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
My wife and I applied for a Barclaycard credit card that offered a 0 % balance transfer. After we received it, we called and asked if we could use the card for a major life expense coming up ( {$15000.00} ) instead of a transfer and still get the 0 % deal. We were told yes, we could. We also had to ask for the credit line to be increased to {$15000.00} to accommodate this new expense. It was increased. We asked again to make sure we would have this expense at 0 %. We were told again, yes. But we had to pay the expense within a few days time in order to take advantage of the 0 % offer. ( We were both on the call and were both XXXX, we always confirm everything multiple times. ) We paid the expense the next day. 

Then our first bill lands with a hefty 17 % interest rate. We called to complain and were told, basically tough luck. 

We asked to speak to a manager, and went through the whole story and asked if they could change the terms to a 0 % card as we were promised. We were told no. We asked if they could review the tape of the first call. We were told no, that's not possible. The manager agreed that there was no reasonable way wed sign up for a card at 17 %, but they could not change it. However, she would forward it to a higher ranking manager to review the situation and get back to us within 30 days. ( This became XXXX XXXX # XXXX ). 

After 30 days, we called them back and were told, again, tough luck. They admitted we were given wrong information ( i.e. we were lied to by their employees ) but still insisted it was our fault. ( Oh, and that department does not call back customers we were told this time. ) Its outrageous that they're so unethical and unaccountable that they freely admit that they give out wrong information ( i.e. lie ), and then refuse to rectify the situation.
