Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
Company Stated It Would Be Best To Close My Account After Paying My Debt That Ive Had With Them. While I Also Had The Full Balance In My Bank Account To Pay Them They Told Me Since I Have The Option To Settle The Debt For Less That Its Best That I Also Just Settle It With Them. Two Things Happened Which Are Harming Me From Obtaining Fair Future Credit With An Auto Lender, The Account Showing Up On My Credit Report Being Closed, And Also Showing That It Was Settled For Less. Its Giving Me Troubles Trying To Obtain New Credit For An Auto Loan. The Bank Discover Is Also Refusing To Accept The Remaining Balance That Made The Account Settled For Less They Tricked Me And Its Harming My Future. This Is Extremely Unfair Credit Reporting. I Was Jobless At The Time Which Is What Caused My Credit To Not Be Up To Date And Paid Correctly, But When I Received The Funds The Bank Told Me To Pay Less Instead. I Just Want My Life In Order And They Made It Worse Instead, If I Could Find A Fix Or To Delete This Account Permanently Off My Credit Report This Would Be Great. Please This Is Extremely Unfair

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

Complaint:
To whom it may concern, This is a formal complaint against Experian. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. On XX/XX/23 I pulled my credit report only to realize it was furnished with erroneous & unverifiable account ( s ). I began my process of disputing these unauthorized and fraudulent reports on credit report with Experian on XX/XX/23. 

Currently I have one hard inquiry on my credit report which I did not recognize and did not authorize for it to be furnished on my credit report. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare Experian has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. 

I am well aware of several other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company 's unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a professional and as an individual. 

As previously stated, this company is reporting erroneous, derogatory information about me which is killing my credit & my Professional image. Therefore, my only wish is to have them permanently remove the inaccuracies that Ive disputed from my credit file immediately. 

Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX Dear Sir or Maam, I recently conducted a review of my credit report, and I noticed that your agency showed a credit inquiry that I find to be problematic. The inquiry in question was apparently made by CAP ONE NA ( XX/XX/2021 ) ( XX/XX/2021 ) and I have no recollection of doing any business with CAP ONE NA. I contacted CAP ONE NA and asked them to take action to get this inquiry removed from their records and to erase any record of the inquiry with all credit reporting agencies. They assured me they would comply with my request and take whatever steps necessary to resolve the issue, but I wanted to contact you as well, just to make sure this gets done. 

Please investigate these inquiries at your earliest possible convenience, as I am going to be applying for a home mortgage in the near future. I would very much like to ensure my credit score is showing an accurate depiction of my creditworthiness. Please update me with a full report on your findings within the next two weeks. I look forward to having this situation rectified as soon as possible. Thanks for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint:
This is in response to case XXXX. 

I have requested multiple times in writing that Credit Systems Inc provide me with detailed and signed statements. Credit Systems Inc has still failed to provide a detailed statement as to what services were performed for the {$570.00} that they falsely claim that I owe. 

The CFPB website provides an easy way for Credit Systems Inc to upload the requested documentation. 

I also find it very suspicious that they claim that I owe them {$570.00} and I paid {$790.00}. 

I've attempted to contact this collection agency multiple times and they refuse to communicate.
