Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX performed a hard inquiry on my credit report without my consent and without notifying me that they intended to perform this inquiry. I was simply relocating my service with them across town. I called Equifax to dispute it. They told me to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX said they could not help me and that only Equifax could help me. When I contacted Equifax again, I spoke with two low level customer service representatives before I spoke with XXXX  ( Agent ID XXXX ). XXXX refused to share her full name with me, but she did tell me she was a supervisor in the Dispute and Fraud Department located in the XXXX. They said they could not file a dispute for this action by XXXX XXXX XXXX and said I had to file a complaint with the FTC or a police report. I chose to file the complaint with the FTC because I felt like my local police department would think it was ridiculous to file a police report for something that should be handled by the credit agency, Equifax.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report to this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm taken advantage of and being ignored for 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 items from my credit report, it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts should be deleted 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.

Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
My complaint is with XXXX XXXX bank and my previous card ending in XXXX. According to XXXX my account was hacked somehow I think my card was skimmed because several people in this small town had theirs skimmed as well. 
XXXX XXXX REFUSED to alert me to strange expensive purchases and even though they took it upon themselves to block a lot of phony purchases they decided to keep everything a secret. They closed my account and ALL ACCESS FOREVER TO MY PREVIOUS TRANSACTIONS. My credit score crashed 100 points because of them and I have proof that I 've been using this card almost  like a cash card paying off my balance in full OR MORE OFTEN EVEN MORE THAN THE FULL AMOUNT I do all of this to rebuild my credit and it was working my FICO score went up about a 100 then crashed IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE HACKING STARTED. 
XXXX XXXX PROMISED ME that they would contact Experian to explain but they just told me that was a lie to get me off the phone. XXXX XXXX violated their own posted rules by refusing to alert me when my account was being hacked then denied access to my own information. It 's hard enough to recover from bankruptcy and I even took a class as to how to rebuilt my credit but you allow these guys to do whatever they please with zero consequences. I 'm still being transferred from one incompetent agent to another with as always zero results.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TX
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
I took out a store credit for an engagement ring for my now fianc through XXXX. I paid each payment on time through their online portal. I followed the account summary page which told me my current balance, minimum payment due and due date and available credit. On the last payment in XX/XX/2019, according to the website I paid on time and in full what was originally agreed upon. 

What I did not know ( because it was not listed on my summary page ) is that although I paid every payment on time and the debit in full, the " promotional period '' ended on XX/XX/2019 which the summary page DID NOT provide. I was then charged an interest and late fee of {$160.00} the following month XX/XX/2019. 

When I called to report this I was told that " I should have checked my statement '' and not relied on the account summary information displayed on the website. After pleading with two agents about my consistency with the company in paying my bill on time over the last year, I finally gave up. They would not agree to remove the fee -- because of the inconsistency on their webpage -- and informed me that it was my responsibility to check both the statement and the summary page.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
I was working with a mortgage company named, Cornerstone Lending. That company did not obtain my authorization to run my credit again on XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, far outside of the initial 30 day period of our mortgage application. Because it was outside of that 30 days these 2 credit pulls very negatively impacted our credit scores by more than 40 points. I tried requesting that they politely remove these inquiries. At first, they agreed to. Then they changed their minds and refused to. They have only spoken with my wife over the last month and have never spoken to me. Not once. I have proof that it was their inquiries that destroyed my scores by way of my membership to XXXX and the subsequent alerts that come with that subscription. The company has written back and claimed that their score " simulator '' is more accurate and that the inquiries are shown to be inconsequential. They have also stated that my permission is implied through the application I filled out online on XX/XX/XXXX but I never saw or read anything about MULTIPLE HARD INQUIRIES more than 30 days apart. I've been through the home buying process before and I know what is entailed and I've never seen a company do anything like this before. They have put my wife on the verge of a nervous breakdown. All for a pre-qualification that we never even got. And now we are left with credit scores so bad we can't even qualify for a rental for another 3 months and they REFUSE to correct their mistake.

Company: VW Credit
State: FL
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Lease
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Excess mileage, damage, or wear fees, or other problem after the lease is finished

Complaint:
Hi, recently I have completed paying my lease with VW Credit. Per my turn in settlement invoice, I have excess mileage that resulted in an invoice of {$12000.00}. VW Credit is asking me to pay this amount in full, however I advised them via email ( see below excerpt ) as to my financial situation and their response was for me to call them to discuss Original Inquiry on XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX  CST : Good Day, I am in receipt of the turn-In Settlement invoice for {$12000.00} asking for payment in full. Unfortunately, I do not have the ability to pay this amount in 1 lump sum. My original plan was to purchase the car upon lease completion, however, the local VW dealership was unable to get my application approved without a substantial down payment. Unfortunately, because I needed a car, I purchase another vehicle and opted to turn in the XXXX. This has put somewhat of a strain on my finances. At the present time, I can offer to pay {$150.00} per month until the debt is paid in full. In the event my financial circumstances change, I will pay more or pay the debt off much sooner. Please send written correspondence with your reply to my mailing address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   XXXX, XXXX FL XXXX Sincerely ; XXXX XXXX Subsequently, I called VW Credit on XX/XX/19and advised of the same. I was advised that they will only take {$400.00} per month instead of my offer of {$200.00}. I advised the representative that I initially tried buying this car but was unable because the few banks that approved me for financing wanted a very large lump sum down payment which I do not have. The end result is I had to buy another vehicle which puts more of a strain on me financially. Lastly, although the rep told me they don't offer payment plans of {$200.00} per month, I advised them I just recently paid off a prior loan ( similar situation ) however they still refused and threatened to place my account with a 3rd part collection agency. I value my credit and have worked very hard to build it to where it is today.
