Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I am writing to dispute the late payment reported by XXXX. My account number ends in XXXX and the last four of my SS # is XXXX. I have been impacted by XXXX. I was admitted to the hospital in XXXX. Not only did I have the XXXX and was in the hospital for a long time, I lost my job. I spoke with XXXX and was advised My payments were deferred until XX/XX/2020. I get a credit alert and they have reported me as past due. This is a VIOLATION OF THE CARES ACT AND THE LATE PAYMENT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED! I WILL PAY THIS ACCOUNT IN FULL ONCE THEY CORRECT MY CREDIT REPORT AND REMOVE THE ERROINIOUS LATE FEES!!!!! I was told I was provided protections under the CARES ACT and they failed to adhere to what was offered to me! No one has called me from XXXX! I received no written notice or terms of the deferred payments/forbearance plan. All I had to rely on was what the Rep told me. I thought I was protected until XXXX. XXXX needs to make this right, AND COMPLY WITH THE CARES ACT AND FIX MY CREDIT REPORTING AND REMOVE ALL LATE FEES AND CALL ME ONCE THAT IS DONE! In either XXXX or XXXX, I was able to call XXXX and I had also filed a Reg Z billing dispute and sent to the designated address. The rep I spoke with saw the dispute in review. At that time, I paid the balance of my account but all a {$35.00} late fee THAT WAS IN DISPUTE! That was the only amount due. She told me, I would receive a written response. I NEVER RECEIVED IT! Not long after that call, I was back in the hospital due to complications from XXXX. I was just sent home yesterday. I was unable to take any action or call anyone regarding this account! 

XXXX needs to remove ALL THE NEGATIVE REPORTING THAT HAVE REPORTED AND TAKE MY BALANCE TO XXXX AND CLOSE MY ACCOUNT!!! THEY ARE IN TEH WRONG HERE!! HOW DO I OWE {$110.00} WHEN ALL I " OWED '' WAS {$35.00} THAT WAS IN DISPUTE??!! THEY NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER AND RESPOND TO THEIR REG Z DISPUTES AND COMMUNICATE WITH CUSTOMERS!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I sent a letter on XX/XX/21 to Experian disputing wrong information on one of the accounts on my credit report. I asked them to remove the account since the info is erroneous, inaccurate. 

I did not hear back from Experian in more than 30 days. I sent them a second letter on XX/XX/21 demanding to remove this account from my credit report. Under the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act ( FDCPA ), I have the right to dispute any information that is inaccurate in my credit report and the bureaus have the obligation to investigate within 30 days and if they can't verify or do not respond ( which is clearly the case here ) they are to remove the account immediately from my credit report.

Complaint:
Once again Equifax has erroneously dropped my credit score without good reason. My credit score should be going up not down. Response from CFPB are never clearly stated and easy to understand.

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:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I became delinquent with a business credit card account with XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX reported my delinquency with the three major credit bureaus ( XXXX, Equifax, XXXX ). They also hired a collection agency to collect the debt. I reached a settlement agreement with the agency and paid the agreed amount in full per the contract. As soon as I paid the full settlement amount, that is when all my problems began. It has been a nightmare of process that is still ongoing and has severely hindered my ability to get credit and financing ... things that I rely on and need both personally and for my business. In short, as soon as the settlement was paid, all three bureaus reported incorrect dates on my personal reports essentially " re-aging '' my debt. The issue solely stems from the DOFD or " Date of First Delinquency ''. The correct date of the First Delinquency is XX/XX/XXXX. Currently, all three of the credit bureaus have different dates listed for that delinquency. The most damaging is XXXX, who has the First Delinquency date of XX/XX/XXXX. They also removed all the history of the XXXX XXXX account with an exception of one date ... that being XX/XX/XXXX. Please note that I personally contacted XXXX XXXX and they have CONFIRMED the First Date of Delinquency as XX/XX/XXXX. Now, after the confirmation with XXXX XXXX, I sent registered letters to all three bureaus TWICE to dispute the incorrect information. The first was in XX/XX/XXXX ( as soon as the saw the drastic change in my report and massive drop in my credit score ). All three bureaus responded with letters stating that the account was " updated ''. However, nothing was updated in all three reports. I then sent the SECOND set of registered letters to all three bureaus in XX/XX/XXXX stating the information I provided to them was verified by the creditor ( XXXX XXXX. Additionally, I asked them all to please tell me how they were able to " update '' or " verify '' the account. I also stated that because they all have the information incorrectly reported, even after my disputes, BY LAW and the FCRA, they must delete the entire account since they can not get it correct. Unfortunately, I received the SAME EXACT RESPONSES from ALL THREE OF THE BUREAUS with no change to my report. They just sent me generic letters with absolutely no answers whatsoever. As it stands today, my personal report is still incorrect and even more frustrating, all three bureaus have different information for the same XXXX XXXX account. The entire process has been a nightmare and has wrecked me both financially and mentally. I DO NOT know what to do at this point. I hope that the government will assist me in this matter.

Complaint:
Wakefield and Associates has a previously written off Ambulance and Emergency room bill dating back to XX/XX/XXXX. When I no longer had medical insurance coverage. I was deemed XXXX shortly afterwards and received MEDICAID and XXXX.

Several companies are trying to collect on the two outstanding amounts. Even though both have been written off and my credit suffers because of this.

XX/XX/XXXX I was again contacted. Corrected again my address of five past years, not the address Wakefield had. But I have no reason to be anything but helpful. I spent over 30 minutes agreeing to 20 % of the total she was requesting. Break it down into 3 payments. Send me the invoice. Fax it. I even shared, I am having XXXX tomorrow ( true story )! And I dont want to leave things to my family to worry about. Several days after XXXX. I was contacted. Just like we never spoke. Old address still being referenced. I maybe poor at this juncture in my life. But I am not XXXX. I am recovering from XXXX. Looking at XXXX and XXXX. My problem. Yes. Wakefield and associates. No. I cant believe how people can get away with this game.

State: OH
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
I was notified XX/XX/21 that my LOCKED CITIBANK master card was used by XXXX and later 2 monitoring companies. The date of charge was XX/XX/21 for {$99.00} for a foreign company by the name of XXXX. This same company fraudulently charged the same amount last year and I locked the card because CITIBANK would not provide a permanent credit for an unauthorized charge. 
I have all the documentation which exhibits clearly demonstrate this was fraud. They ended up charging me back again. Finally, after several months, they permanently removed the charge notating the fraud. 
I contacted the bank 4 times on XX/XX/21 and experienced terrible customer service. The reps are difficult to understand due to language barrier. I was blamed for this foreign fraudulant company having my information. After getting the run around with Customer Service ( only one name I could understaned " XXXX '' she placed me back on hold and I went into the quue again. Finally got to the SECURITY DEPT. and spoke with a man named XXXX. He gave me a very hard time even though I was calling from the registered phone listed with the bank and answered all security questions. There was a language barrier with the last name of my first best friend ( secret question ). I gave my SS number and all personal information. It was awful. He focused on that more than trying to put a stop to any more charges on a LOCKED account. I explained to all the people that this exact vendor did the same thing last year wihtout my permission. This is fraud and they allowed it on a LOCKED card. I am now stuck with a charge that I will not pay. They still have not followed up and do not believe they will take any action. I need a permanent reversal of the {$99.00} from XXXX and my card be LOCKED. I do not give permission to have any charges go through.

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I have been writing all three credit bureaus since XX/XX/2021 and they have yet to update and correct my credit profile. I am aware that the credit bureaus purchase their public information from XXXX XXXX and XXXX. I contacted the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and I have attached a copy of the letter stating that they do not report to any reporting bureaus. If this is the case this is a violation of 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) in which I have constantly asked each bureau to validate the information and send me copies with my signature. Each time they update the report stating that it remains the same and the information from the US Courts are overlooked and omitted. In absence of my signature to verify the information they have on my public records I asked for them to delete it from the credit file you maintain under my Social Security number. Additionally, credit bureaus DO NOT LIST XXXX XXXX AS THEIR INFORMATION PROVIDER WHICH IS A VIOLATION OF FCRA TO REPORT FALSE INFORMATION.

This is about the bankruptcy on my report, that does not belong to me. Someone with a similar name to mine filed bankruptcy in the US BKPT CT MA XXXX file on XX/XX/2015.

Company: STATE FARM BANK, FSB
State: FL
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem accessing account

Complaint:
I have two products with State Farm : 1 ) Checking account 2 ) Auto Insurance To access either it was one portal statefarm.com as in common with many financial companies to login to to view or handle transaction in my checking Or view insurance policy information or update the payment 'from ' account on the monthly payment plan for auto insurance every XXXX of the month.

I did go into the payment plan for auto insurance from time to time to update the payment account to be debited past few months from XX/XX/2018 to XX/XX/2018. Twice the payment bounced ; however I did pay immediately a few days later via the site with the pay now option with another credit card or account. 

Suddenly one day when attempting to login to access my checking account information/statements ( which are setup to be notified of electronically as well ) I had an account suspended notice and could not login. 

Called State Farm customer service immediately and got transferred to tech support, they were thinking it was a technical problem, but they could not resolve it, after two weeks, finally a technician stated, it's not the account getting locked out, it's the State Farm insurance end product and payments not going through a few times that has made the website inaccessible is what he said it stated in the notes. That's all the tech knew. 

Called State Farm customer service again. And relayed that information I was told. Finally the customer service rep stated, yes, that until I go by six months of not bounced payments for the State Farm insurance product then I will regain online access back to the statefarm.com site to be able to access checking account. No clear explanation when I queried as to what rules or in what policy does it state that one product has to do with another? Or could they just lock me out of the insurance product but allow me access to only the checking account for now? The response was no, and that I would need to wait. I requested I have paper statements sent, and the rep stated it could not be done because my settings/preferences on the site are setup as electronic notification when statements are available. 

This has me having to call in every few days to monitor account for all transactions in and out or using the atm for latest account balance. I feel this seems to be a right I have to be able to access my account when/if needed irregardless of the other product. 

Additionally I attempted the supposed automated phone feature that utilizes voice print and fail to connect properly any time. Thus, I end up on hold anywhere from 15-25 minutes on average to get a rep to ask what my current balance and recent transactions are.
