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:
On XXXX XXXX I sent a credit validation letter was sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX asking them to provide me with a contract that show my wet signature connecting me to the an account that is XXXX, XXXX  and XXXX  credit reports, in the amount of {$3900.00}. On XXXX XXXX I received a letter in the mail stating that the account is " verified. '' My request was not granted, and sending a stall tactic saying that the debt is verified without showing how it was verified is a violation, according to the 15 USC 1692 -1692p. 


Also, on XXXX XXXX I sent a credit validation letter to ACIMA CREDIT FKA XXXX another account that is fraudulently listed on my credit report. I was unsuccessful with getting a response from this company. So, I called this company on XXXX XXXX and was told that they do not have a contract with my wet signature, however the debt is verified. I never received anything in the mail regarding my request and this account is only being listed on my XXXX  credit report, which is indeed a violation, since each bureau should mirror one another. 


Additionally, An account listed with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who's a debt collector for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  is being reported to XXXX, XXXX  and XXXX. This account appears to be a medical bill. I reached out via phone to this company on XXXX XXXX and explained that this is a HIPPA violation, and this account needs to be deleted immediately and no information should be shared to any third parties in the HIPPA law. The representative was noncompliant and hung up the phone. 


Finally, There is an account listed on my XXXX  credit report with no original creditor or collection agency being reported, by having this misinformation I was unable to contact the company directly. I contacted XXXX  and the representative stated that she was unable to remove the account, and I had to dispute it.

State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020 I attempted for two hours to unfreeze my credit with XXXX and to see my credit score.

After two hours on their website I was able to finally get my credit unfroze but unable to see my credit score. 
Their website & search icons are built to take you to pages that again & again attempt to coerce you into buying a subscription service in order to complete your business with them. These sites also are very sneaky into trying to get a lesser aware consumer into actually paying for something they are supposed to get for free. 
All three : Equifax, XXXX & XXXX gave me GREAT difficulty in getting both my credit score and allowing me to unfreeze my credit for a purchase even though I had an account already set up with all them! 
This is wrong, it is purposeful manipulation to sell you a product you do not need!

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:
A collection account for {$1300.00} appeared on my Transunion and XXXX credit reports in XXXX. I attempted to resolve this issue with the agency that reported the collection, XXXX. The collection agency has failed to validate the debt, including the date of first delinquency. I filed a dispute with Transunion and XXXX who both ruled the collection account was valid. I have received no information from Transunion, XXXX or XXXX as to the validity of the debt. According to my credit reports, the account appears to be from a hospital in Arizona. I have not lived or set foot in Arizona for over 14 years, so even if the debt was at one point valid, it has been illegally re-aged on my credit report.

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

Complaint:
Today, XX/XX/2019, I received an email alert from " XXXX XXXX '' informing that my credit score had dropped. I checked my credit report and it showed up a " delinquent account '' on my credit card ending on XXXX, from Barclays, for the amount of {$99.00}. 
I don't use this credit card for almost a year, but then I checked to see what had happened, an then it showed an amount owned due to an annual fee. Fee has already been paid, then I called Barclays to see if they could confirm the payment and remove this information from credit report. 
They refused to help and informed me that my only alternative was to contact the credit bureaus and open a dispute. 
I've had this credit card a while but havent been using it. Never received a letter or a single phone call from them, informing of any past due annual fee. There was no annual fee before, I just realized that they were allowed to charge this fee after a certain period of time, but that was not clear to me before and like I said, I did not receive not even one phone call or message from them informing about a past due fee. the payment was provided, I just want them to remove the incorrect information from my credit report. Main issues that I see : 1. Information about the fee was not clearly disclosed to me ( if there was a fee, when they exactly would start charging it ) since there was no annual fee before 2. Never received a letter/email/phone call about the fee. 3. Not one single notice via email/phone call or written letter about a past due fee before they would just send my information to the credit bureaus

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TX
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Application denied

Complaint:
As with other Comenity Bank cards, I had a Zale 's card and others, before they were closed it during a mortgage application process. After reapplying I was told they could not access my credit report. My report is open and unlocked, but they claim it has a freeze on the report or they can not get it or it is blank. 

When I try to call them I get a recording claiming that I am not authorized to call the number. So that is not allowing me a chance to communicate with them to take care of the issue and it is also blocking me from maintenance on other account with them. 

Is this fair under the FCRA rules? 

Enclosed are the supporting documentations. 

This also happening with any account I apply for with Comenity, they keep sending the same information denying my application.

Company: UNITED COMMUNITY BANK
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I obtained a construction-to-permanent loan from United Community Bank. It was discovered after closing that an error was made on the part of XXXX XXXX, the loan originator, whereby the loan amount shorted by {$10000.00}. It happened, I suspect, when she referenced an out-of-date contract prior to closing. This was despite having the correct document in hand, supported and evidenced by multiple emails. 

I brought the error to XXXX attention on XX/XX/XXXX and later had to reach out to XXXX XXXX, UCBI 's Regional Mortgage Sales Leader, ( after being shut out by XXXX denying any mistake ) to see how the deficiency could be remedied. The three of us convened a call on XX/XX/XXXX to discuss what happened. And by XX/XX/XXXX, I was assured by XXXX a clear path had been found to move forward. 

I completed construction on XX/XX/XXXX and provided all requested documentation to UCBI at that time. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and I'm being forced into a second extension at higher interest rate with no clear end in sight. I've consistently provided all requested information in a timely manner, but the bank can not or refuses to give me any sort of update regarding the loan 's status. They have left me paying interest only at 4.5 % when the loan should have already been converted to permanent financing at 3.125 %.

I have not received a bonus yet. I have contacted US BANK on XX/XX/XXXX, asking them where my bonus was. I have received the following response : " Hello XXXX, Thanks for reaching out about the bonus funds. My name is XXXX and I feel the desire to know when the bonus will be paid. 
I looked over the account and do see a promo code attached. However, the code that is attached is for a promo that ended on XX/XX/XXXX with different requirements than what you mentioned below. 
I did find the promo you referenced below. This promo started on XX/XX/XXXX. As the account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX, sadly you do not qualify for either promo. This means the {$300.00} bonus will not be paid. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. '' I did, in fact, signed up on XX/XX/XXXX, from US Bank 's promotional page. I will even received approval letter from them on XX/XX/XXXX. I will attach it to this complaint. 

US Bank is acting shady and is not being honest and straightforward with me.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020 US Dept of ED, increased my debt by {$1.00}. This somehow diminished my credit score with both XXXX and Equifax. There should be no activity on any student loan due to the CARES ACT 2020, this act suspended all payments and set interest rates at 0 %. so how does {$1.00} get added to my account during a pandemic? Retaliation is exactly what this is and violation of a Federal Act. All three companiies/Corporations should be ashamed of themselves, its so oblivious what they did. My FICO score dropped dramatically due to the {$1.00} add on to a closed accounts.

Complaint:
I was contacted several months ago regarding this Capital One balance by XXXX XXXX   XXXX. I set-up a three month payment plan and received confirmation in XXXX that the {$720.00} balance had been paid. 
Now, the past couple weeks, XXXX XXXX has been calling multiple times every single day to me, my husband, my ex-husband and my mother about this Capital One balance. I honestly could not tell you the amount of times that they've called, leaving voicemails that they have a Fax Request to File Charges against me. And I need to call to schedule delivery. 
They also, gave my husband specific information about the transaction. To my knowledge they're not supposed to give any specific information to anyone that is not on the loan??? 
I have told them I paid this off, and I want to dispute the claim. 
Waiting on feedback from Capital One. 

The amount of calls and threat of having charges filed against me are ridiculous. 
And contacting individuals that are outside of the transaction have got to stop!

Complaint:
To whom it may concern, My name is XXXX XXXX, I am writing to you because I have an issue with my private student loan company ( which is with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX I was speaking to a mortgage loan lender and she recommended that I contact this bureau or an attorney. Here is my situation- I have been in contact with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX my loan is with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I currently pay on this loan weekly. I have been told by the loan officer at XXXX XXXX that there is nothing that they can due as this loan is in a charge off state. It is not being reported that it is being paid on my reports. I have contacted the credit reporting agency and all I get back with them is that it is a correct debt. This is correct I did take out the loan several years ago. My payments are not being reported and it is still in a charge off state. I believe that the bank should be able to remove this from a charge off state or at least report that I am paying on my loan. 
Thank you for your time. 

Below is an email from the loan officer at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Hi XXXX, I am in class for the next two days, so unable to return your call. I got your message. Unfortunately, there is nothing that we can do to remove that negative debt from your credit report, When we talked before, I had explained that you would need to possibly find someplace that would be willing to refinance the student loan into a new one for you. We cant offer that because this loan is charged off from the XXXX XXXX that we work with. They wouldnt be willing to refinance it. 

I am more than willing to write something up stating that you have been paying on this debt weekly for a long period of time if the company you find needs verification that it is being paid. But, that is about all I can do for you.
