State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

Complaint:
Contacted Wells Fargo Bank numerous times by phone and in person to notify them that I want them to protect my financial information from being stolen. Requested Wells Fargo to NOT send sensitive credit card applications to my residence address because ID thieves steal the mail and open fraudulent credit accounts. To protect myself from ID theft, I have a more secure mailing address using a post office box at a US post office. Wells Fargo refuses to send sensitive mail ( which can be stolen by ID thieves to perpetrate ID theft and credit card fraud ) to my more secure mailing address. Wells Fargo refuses to protect my financial information.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX calls and leaves voicemails at least once per week. On XX/XX/2022 at XXXX EST, XXXX XXXX called and I answered. She informed me she was calling to collect on a debt from XXXX XXXX and asked if I wanted to setup payment arrangements. I said no and asked her to send me records of the debts. 

She said the company would not send me anything, that Ive been disputing the account for years and began calling me names and screaming. She hung up. I called back and asked her to add me to the do not call list and to instead communicate via written letters. I asked her what address she had on file and to update it with my current address. She again began calling me names and yelling telling me to not call her place of employment again. She then hung up after refusing to update the account per my request. 

I called back and she hung up. I called again and she answered and threatened to sue me if I called again, then hung up. I called again and this time was met by a supervisor. I repeated my request in accordance with the FDC act and he said he would add my number to the list. I asked to make a complaint against XXXX XXXX and he said the office was closing up for the day. 

I do not own this debt. Ive supplied the credit bureaus with proof that the debt is resolved with the original owner of the debt and the collection was removed. 

Please see attachments. I was offered a reduced tuition payment and I accepted. My student status was then restored without restriction. 

The collection is not being reported to any of the 3 credit bureaus but this company continues trying to collect.

Complaint:
I am submitting this complaint about transunion credit reporting agency. I have been disputing an account that was previously removed off my credit report. ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). Today I checked my credit score on XXXX XXXX  and noticed a 100 point drop I looked into this and noticed that they re-inserted this account that was previously removed. I attempted several times to reach them and dispute this information again and ask to remove it like it was before and it should have never been re-inserted onto my credit report. It was confirmed that this loan was a combined loan that was PAID off in full. I can't reach transunion as they keep telling me my credit file is in another department. ( Fraud Victim Dept ). As I had in the past fraud done with my name. I was transferred and was on hold for a long time. I am very fustrated that they put this account back on my credit report which caused my score to drop.

Complaint:
Equifax is stating they can not located my credit report and credit file by my name, social security, address or anything. I was told to fax them in my drivers license and social security card " to verify my identity '' and call back. I waited 3 days and called them back only be told the same thing that they can not locate me and that " I must not have any credit ''. Then I was told that if I can pull my XXXX credit report to fax or mail that into them so they can look at that. 

I've called my credit cards and they said they report their data to equifax. 

I have 17 years of credit, have 2 mortgages, student loan and 2 credit cards. I have CREDIT. This has been very frustrating. 

What is the solution here?

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern : I recently received a copy of my credit report, and I noticed some accounts on my consumer report that should not be on there. 
This agency is in violation of 15 USC 1692g. They were to notify me of this in writing 5 days prior, I was not notified. As the original creditor, only I can validate this debt. I do not validate this debt. Therefore, the following accounts must be deleted from my report immediately : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX  Account number : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account number : XXXX The reporting of these account ( s ) is/are violations of 15 USC 1681, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act [ 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( B ) ] : ( 2 ) EXCLUSIONS.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( B ) any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer of a credit card or similar device ; So let me explain. Under the Truth in Lending Act 15 USC 1602 ( g ), credit card is defined as the following : The term credit card means any card, plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor, or services on credit. 
This makes your social security card, drivers license/ID, and license plate credit cards that are/were used for the extension of credit. 
So, with that being said, with great power comes great responsibilities. It's really up to you how you want to use this information.

Complaint:
This is the second time I am complaining about this company. The first time my mortgage went into foreclosure. This began in XX/XX/XXXX. My lawyer sat on it for 2 years letting the statue of limitations run out. Then the company filed foreclosure. So my lawyer negotiated a re-fi. This first complaint # XXXX. This case was dismissed with prejudice in the courts. in XX/XX/XXXXIn XXXX XXXX XXXX, they stated I did not pay my mortgage. I sent them proof of payments. This time they have admittedly messed up my escrow account. I was told it was escalated but have received no communications in regards to that. Only communications I receive are calls for payment that they increased due to their escrow error. Every time I call or send emails I get passed around and there is never a resolution. They are damaging my credit and causing me hardship because of the higher rates they are forcing you to pay due to their admitted error.

Numerous times as with my previous issues with them I have demanded they close my escrow account due to their mismanagement of fund yet they continue to ignore me.
