Consumer complaint received 2018-02-28
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL
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:
I wrote to XXXX, Equifax and XXXX asking them to explain why my credit score was lower than it should be. Specifically, i explained that I have perfect credit, no delinquencies, no derogatoriness, exceptionally low credit use to credit available, all credit paid in full monthly, all property owned free and clear, over {>= $1,000,000}. in liquid assets, XXXX debt and in over 50 years never a charge off or any credit issue. Considering all of this I asked why I am not a perfect 850 score. I asked that they either increase my score to 850 or explain how they calculated my score, about 790-815. It seems to change monthly. They send form letters stating that your score is calculated using four main factors. Delinquencies, derogatory comments, debt outstanding to credit available and total debt, which can be to high or to low. When you call to speak to a credit representative to ask them to explain it they basically say that is just what it is. I ask that if everything is perfect then why is my score not perfect or why will they not explain where and why I lose points. My latest letter was sent on XX/XX/18. All of this is verifiable. Their own reports corroborate what i am saying. i can verify the asset numbers and can verify income, which i told them i would do if they would agree to change my score to 850 if I did.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
I had a Bank of America credit card from XX/XX/2017, recently I received a letter from Bank of America stating that they closed my account. The reason for closing my account was that they received information from XXXX. I have a membership with XXXX  that I check my credit record with regularly. The time that they closed my account I did not have any suspicious activity going on with my XXXX account. I contacted Bank of America multiple times to find out why they closed the account, the only thing they said is that the letter we sent you should already explain the reason. I tried to get information from them on how to reopen my account. I contacted them 3 different times and spoke with 3 different people and got 3 different answers. Once they said I am welcome to reapply to reopen my account, they said I would get a soft inquiry which won’t hurt my credit and then when I agreed they wanted to transfer me to a different department that could help me further. When I spoke with that department the representative was very rude and gave me a totally different approach on the issue. He said when reopening my account I will get hard inquire. My main concern is why has my account been closed, and they could not give me a decent answer. Then I called them back a couple of days later and each time they gave me different information and answers. By this point I’m complaining to see if the problem is on my side. By law they have a give me a reasonable explanation on why they closed my account. I can submit my XXXX credit report so you guys can see that everything is normal. By law in the credit card agreement it does not state that the bank can just close your card anytime they like.

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I, XXXX XXXX believes in the credit reporting system as the most important element to the success of the commercial banking system. I am also a proponent of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX CFPB XXXX as a tool to streamline issues on credit reports that XXXX be dragging down my overall scores. Accordingly, I address each particular issue directly with the creditor in question, before submitting any complaint to the credit bureaus if necessary. Therefore, I desire the following reinvestigation as follows : 1 ) On accounts where late payments are posted, I respectfully request a review of the past payment history and to ascertain if certain payments could actually have been posted late because of an overlap on the 30-days grace period. I realize that this may happen on occasion, and I request only a summary review internally, and do not require any documentation.

2 ) On any account that falls within the 84-month negative reporting timeline, I respectfully request either the deletion of the account if said account was closed, or the elimination of the prior payment if the account it is still active, this is well within the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) guidelines pertaining to obsolete information.

3 ) Any collections must be proved if either a direct collection and/or debt purchase. In either event I request that a true original copy of right to pursue collection be established with each respective credit reporting agency, and if a debt purchase the guidelines proving transfer of ownership must be submitted to all credit bureaus as well as me personally to validate ownership and the right to collect. I am well within my rights requesting proper documentation as administered through the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), in addition to the even stricter guidelines enforced by the office of attorney general in my state of domicile. 
I respectfully request each investigation to be reported to XXXX, XXXX  and XXXX XXXX within a reasonable time period, hopefully 30-days. I realize that the current Covid-19 crisis could cause delays, so the best efforts of each financial institution and collection agency will be appreciated under the current circumstances.

Complaint:
This complaint is about the 3 bureaus that have been disregarding my disputes for several months now. They have been denying and rejecting my complaint as well as believing that I am not the one sending disputes. They just find every little way to avoid the claims I have about this inaccurate and unverified information that they keep posting in my report. I reach out to you in hopes that they would finally decide to remove the inaccurate information from my credit report. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon!

I got locked out of my own paypal account. They asked me to reset my password and when I try to do that, they tell me to verify my phone number which is my old number. I can't even change it. I don't understand why they can't just send me verification code to my email. Their system is quite flawed and no wonder people talk bad about paypal everywhere online. I guess it makes sense.
