The XXXX data breach exposed my information well as, and it's feasible that it landed in the incorrect hands. Also following the Experian Lawsuit of them reporting misleading information and me not getting any notifications or updates about my report concerns me something fraudulent may have be done.

Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
Hi. My name is XXXX XXXX ( last 4 SSN XXXX ). I have two items on my credit report that I feel are incorrect. 

First, is an alleged debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$3000.00}. This debt has been reported on all three credit bureaus. This alleged debt amount is from an apartment complex that was shared by myself and my significant other. We never received anything in writing from the apartment complex regarding an outstanding balance. How can a company place a debt in collections without at least giving consumers the opportunity to pay it? This debt has also been applied to my boyfriends credit reports as well. We have not way of verifying the validity of this collection account. Personally, I feel as though this is retaliation on behalf of the apartment complex for several complaints we had made prior to our lease ending. Ive reached out to the credit bureaus regarding my concern ; my dispute came back as valid. 

Second, is my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. My credit card account was closed by them back in XXXX. Theyve recently decided to report a balance increase last month on a closed account, which is causing my credit score to drop even more. 

These credit agencies/bureaus should have a more uniform, consistent manner in which they can report/add items to consumers credit. We are literally at the mercy of them, which is so scary because we need credit in order to live. Erroneous credit items and illegal reporting is costing Americans XXXX, maybe XXXX  of dollars.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA

Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not received from closed account

Complaint:
Online savings account opened XX/XX/XXXX and had over XXXX deposited to it other the time it was opened until it was closed by Marcus on XX/XX/XXXX. The balance at closing was {$100000.00} and they closed the account when I started transferring to another bank as their service was horrible. When the account was closed, I received an email letting me know so I called and was told a check was going to mail out to my XXXX Kentucky address even though I had updated my address to my XXXX Florida address but that was OK, that was over 1 week ago. Then I received a letter from Marcus dated XX/XX/XXXX stating the disputed account was closed and to call with questions. I called today, XX/XX/XXXX and after waiting online for over 30 minutes, was finally told that the funds were sent to unclaimed funds and they would check with that area and send out a check now. I asked why this was the case when I was told over a week ago that the funds were being mailed to my XXXX address and the girl just said she didn't know, there wasn't anyone I could talk to and I could wait a couple of days and call back again to see what happened. This is ridiculous and so unfair that I have been waiting for weeks to get my funds and every time I call, I get the run around and wait for at least 30 minutes while the person I speak to who doesn't know anything about my account has to call someone else that tells them to tell me nothing.

Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a claim regarding a recent incident involving my mortgage broker.

I am reporting this incident to inform you of the extent to which such scams are affecting consumers and to request that action be taken to prevent further harm. I urge the CFPB to investigate and put an end to these fraudulent practices. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
