I been trying to get insurance on my vehicle for some time now. Every time I get a quote it either comes back too high or I am ineligible. When I ask why I get told that it could be that my credit history is not too good. I finally decided to pull my credit report and I found things on there that I have never applied for including a bankruptcy. These items are not mine. Please remove them from my report immediately. {$6800.00} CHAPTERXXXX   BANKRUPTCYXXXX  {$0.00} CHAPTERXXXXBANKRUPTCYXXXX {$0.00}

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX - Order confirmation. Lead time is noted XX/XX/XXXX - Email with customer service verifying production complete but shipping delayed XX/XX/XXXX - Email from XXXX XXXX notifying us of the company being sold/dissolved. 

We used the order lookup tool regularly to see the status of our order. I googled to find the name of the XXXX XXXX and filed a claim in early XXXX A status was also posted on their website and updated until XX/XX/XXXX. 

XX/XX/XXXX - Confirmation of claim and claim form XX/XX/XXXX - Received notification from XXXX XXXX  alerting us about the XXXX XXXX. Note we had already filed a claim. 

I called the XXXX XXXX in XXXX and was told the claims would not be reviewed until XX/XX/XXXX. 

In XXXX the XXXX XXXX  lookup tool was updated to indicate our order would not be fulfilled. I called Wells Fargo to start the dispute process and was told there was nothing that could be done with Wells and that I had to go directly to XXXX to see if that benefit was provided. XXXX said it was not. 

I called the XXXX XXXX again XXXX and was told the claims were under review but that no information was available. 

XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX XXXX  website was updated to indicate no claims will be paid. A dispute was opened with WF. We were told that the XXXX process was to contact the original institution and if no response was received in 120 days the charge would be refunded XX/XX/XXXX - I called and was told that XXXX had submitted the claim in early XXXX and that the 120 day window would expire XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX - An email was received stating a different window for resolution. I was confused but didnt call in XX/XX/XXXX - Called to confirm refund was in process. Was told XXXX never accepted the claim and due to a system glitch no one at XXXX noticed, took action or notified me. I was informed they would start their own process that had a 45 day window, but that it was also being escalated to management to see if anything could be done internally. I was told I would be notified in 24-48 hours XX/XX/XXXX - I called today and was told my claim was denied and closed due to the length of time between now and the purchase This is unacceptable. I was given incorrect information multiple times by WF and now they are participating with XXXX XXXX in stealing {$4700.00} from me.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NY
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Application denied

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I, XXXX XXXX, applied for and was approved for the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX card, issued by Synchrony Bank. I received written approvals not only on Synchrony 's website, but in an email sent directly to me as well. Both stated that I would be receiving my card in XXXX business days. Furthermore, I was provided with a XXXX reference number that was supposed to enable me to shop online at XXXX immediately while waiting for my card to arrive in the mail. However, upon entering the reference number, I repeatedly was unable to place my order. I spent hours on the phone with XXXX, who referred me to Synchrony. Synchrony stated that my application had been denied. I strongly protested, and advised that I had received XXXX written approvals, a XXXX reference number enabling me to shop, and was told my card would be arriving in XXXX business days. How could all that happen if I had been denied? I posed that question to Synchrony, and they refused to answer and just kept saying that my application was denied. I insisted there had to be some mistake or oversight, and even offered to forward them my approval email. They were extremely rude and hostile throughout, and actually said that they don't have any email addresses that I could send my approval to. I guess they don't use email. Synchrony has been disingenuous and deceptive, and this is egregiously unjust. A credit card company should not be able to advise me not once but TWICE that I was approved for one of their products, then tell me to expect it in the mail, and then offer me a way to use my card online before it arrives, only to turn around and say nope you're denied we're not sending it to you, and we refuse to even acknowledge your question about why you received XXXX written approvals if you had been denied. I never would have even applied for this card if I knew this was going to happen.

Complaint:
XXXX tools was issued a cease and desist letter because they repeatedly violated consumer laws. This was when it was already in collections. They only remain on my credit for SEVEN YEARS I habe NEVER made any payments to that fraudulent company, or ant of the loteral 25 collection agencies they illegally kept selling and uncollectabke debt to. I've never communicated with ANY of them either, ever. 

I keep reporting to transnion that it is past the 7 year mark and they keep illegally leaving it on my credit. XXXX they have allowed XXXX to be on my credit report TWICE and one with a totally false date on it. I disrupted and they close sit stating it's valid with ZERO PROOF AT ALL.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
Hello, I am writing to dispute the negative items on my credit report. Specifically, I am disputing the following items : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I believe these items are inaccurate and unfairly damaging my credit score. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute these items and request that they be removed from my credit report. 

I have never been XXXX  days late on my payments with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . In fact, I have always made my payments on time and have never missed a payment with any of these creditors. 

Furthermore, I have never had any dealings with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, or XXXX. XXXX, XXXX. I have no knowledge of these accounts and believe they may be fraudulent or a result of identity theft. 

Regarding the charge-off account with XXXX XXXX, I have made several attempts to resolve this account with the original creditor but have not received any response. As per the FCRA, a charge-off account must be removed from my credit report after 7 years. The date of first delinquency on this account was more than 7 years ago, and therefore it should have been removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, I believe that the inquiries by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX are unauthorized. I did not authorize these inquiries and have no business dealings with these companies. 

In accordance with the FCRA, I request that you investigate these items and remove them from my credit report if they are found to be inaccurate or fraudulent. I also request that you provide me with a copy of my updated credit report once the investigation is complete. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than XXXX business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( XXXX ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( XXXX ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( XXXX ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( XXXX ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Complaint:
Experian will not correct my closed account status for XXXX XXXX. This account was paid in settlement in XXXX and it still shows it as charge off. I disputed this accounts status for the third time in XX/XX/XXXX with Experian. Experian concludes it was a charge off and updated the account as a charge off status for XX/XX/XXXX when the account as settled and paid in the summer of XXXX. I even attached settlement letters to my Experian dispute from the lender and they still wont fix it. This has dropped my score even more because Experian shows it as a recent charge off while its been over two and half years. They just dont get it!
