Complaint:
Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal of complying with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, to provide proof, documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to delete the items which are erroneous and unverified. Their unfavorable and unacceptable actions have been hurting my credit scores immensely. Please see below the items I am concerned of : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX  Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX Date of inquiry : XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX Date of inquiry : XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX Date of inquiry : XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXXL Date of inquiry : XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX Date of inquiry : XX/XX/XXXX

Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Hello CFPB, I am a recent XXXX XXXX from XXXX University. Since I was relocated here as a XXXX at risk, I can not go back home ( XXXX ) because of the ongoing political crisis. So, until I get a professional job ( XXXX & XXXX ) I do any job to pay my bills on time and earn a living. Most of my credits are set on automatic payment and are paid timely. My credit score has been above 700 until recently and I was informed yesterday by XXXX XXXX that my credit score fell to XXXX due to some negative credit factors including late payments ( I forgot to pay an XXXX travel loan payable on the XXXX and paid it on the XX/XX/XXXX and reported. ) One major factor is, I was told, a closed XXXX store credit account which a XXXX saleswoman prompted me to open ( i did not go to XXXX that day to open a credit account ) and I told her there and then on her registry line ( to the same cashier before I left the store ) to close the account she ppened by my name because I did not plan to have a XXXX ( or any credit account ) for whatever reason. Either the saleswoman did not close the account she told me she closed it or XXXX systematically keeps open closed accounts to collect debts it does not deserve. For this wrong doing and exploitation/abuse, XXXX is accountable. 

I called XXXX XXXX yesterday, XX/XX/XXXX, before XXXX and they told me to file dispute on my behalf. However, what XXXX did has a negative impact to worsen my already stiff financial situation. Whether or not my credit score will be fixed, I never back away from holding responsible for their own wrong doing and for keeping open a closed account and reporting me falsely and claiming unfairly that I owe them debts. 

Happy holidays!

Complaint:
In XXXX  XXXX XXXX ( now XXXX XXXX XXXX ) included me on a judgement that that they had no legal ability to do. I received a court order to remove my name from the judgement. The HOA/Management company hired Thunderbird Collection Services ( TCS ) to collect on this inpropoer judgement. I have disputed this debt at least 20 times over the years, spoken with TCS and XXXX XXXX  and to no avail - it is still currently listed as a collection on two of my three credit reports. This incorrect posting by TCS has prevented me in qualifying for auto and home loans. The credit bureaus have contacted TCS to confirm the debt and TCS has continued to confirm the debt - despite the fact that I have provided TCS with a copy of the court order removing my name from their judgement.

Complaint:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act gives me the right to request the source of information that appears on my credit file.

I submitted a dispute request for the source of information, as permitted under Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 regarding XXXX XXXX  Account # XXXX which is appearing on my Experian Credit File.

I asked the CRA, Experian, to remove this item from my credit report, unless they can provide me with the source of the information, such as an original contract bearing my signature. This is a right that I have per Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609.

Experian has failed to properly investigate my dispute.

Experian has updated my file, without properly investigating, while not providing me the information I am entitled to under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. They have listed the item as " remains ''. They are in violation for not properly investigating my dispute.

Sub-issue: Application denied

Complaint:
Bloomingdale 's may have violated the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ). 


This is made clear by their having denied my application on the sole basis of the " number of credit bureau inquiries '' on my credit file and further exemplified by their clear dismissal of my reconsideration letter. In the aforesaid letter, I had made it clear to Bloomingdale 's credit services that it had come to my attention after receiving their " denial letter '' that there were a number of unauthorized pulls on my credit file, which I then brought to the attention of XXXX, who after investigating the matter, ruled in my favor and promptly deleted the unauthorized inquiries. 

Since it was expressly clear that the inquiries were the alleged reason for their denial, it lead way to a reasonable inference that if this was rectified, that Bloomingdale 's would thereafter extend credit to me as the reason for the inquiries on my file were not to a fault of my own. 

Yet, I have not heard from their credit service department and they have refused to discuss this further with me over the phone when I called. It is clear to me in the way they have addressed me over the phone ( with such disdain, even mocking my name as it was not a novelty for them in their rejection pile ) and in ignoring my correspondence, that they are clearly discriminating against me.
