Product: Credit card
Issue: Unsolicited issuance of credit card

Complaint:
For almost 10 years now I have been contacting and fighting with the credit bureaus as well as Discover Financial over an erroneous entry on my credit report. It is STILL listed on my account and never should have been in the first place. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX opened up an account with Discover Financial and without my knowledge or consent listed me as an authorized user on her account. I found this out several years ago and not only did I contact Discover, she did as well and I also submitted complaints to the XXXX credit bureaus. I again did this in 2011 when I discovered it on my credit history and to this day it has not been removed. 
To my knowledge it was never late, but it is an account affecting my credit and not one of these agencies has done anything to correct the error to this day.

Product: Credit card
Issue: Transaction issue

Complaint:
We filed a dispute to a charge by a contractor/merchant who turned out to be an unlicensed contractor in the state of California. This contractor did not complete the work and caused significant damage. We asked the contractor to finish the work but they did not. We filed a complaint with the CA State Contractor Licensing Board, and also disputed a part of the charges with Discover. 

Discover would allow us to dispute only one of the many charges and denied that there was another charge. Then discover failed to investigate or make any effort and closed the case in favor of the merchant. We asked them why they closed the case, they said they needed more information and as asked them why they would not ask us for more information. They said to send them the information right away which we did. 

However, to date they failed to review the documents we sent and failed to apply a temporary credit as they promised they would do.

Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
My bank is PNC in Virginia. Back in XXXX I had fraud activity so I went immediately to the bank closed that account and opened a new one. I was assured several times from the bank manager once the account has refunded my money the account would be closed. I have a loan which I was also assured was moved to the new account. None of that was done. I have had overdraft fees and late fees do to all this. Most recently for some reason the loan withdraws out the account that was supposed to be closed months ago. I called the branch and left several messaged for the the manager to call me back. She never did. I went to another branch and spoke to manager there that said everything was taken care of which it was. Now a week later money was taken out of my account that I am now fighting to get back. I called early this week and I was assured my money would be refunded. It has yet happened. I call again speak to someone else and I 'm hearing from this person nothing was done earlier this week. I have currently a personal loan and car loan. I will be refinancing my house in order to pay these loans and will be closing my account with PNC.

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:
My name is XXXX XXXX and I received a copy of my credit report and there was a collection from XXXX that I was disputed it's validity with the three major credit reporting agencies. Once I received more details I realized it was for a XXXX account. I spoke with the collection agency and they agreed to remove it completely if paid in full. I did pay the item and received proof they agreed to remove it as well. I mailed the information to all three bureaus and for some reason Equifax and XXXX  only showed that it was paid and did not remove it. This upsets me since 1 they did not complete an investigation otherwise they too would have removed it and 2 I sent them proof all they had to do was call them company. I am tired of trying to work with the bureaus because there have been other things that took almost a year to get resolved. I don't have another year for them to do their jobs.

Complaint:
Equifax is in multiple violations of my consumer rights as defined by the United States Congress in 15 U.S.C 1681.

Do not write me back telling me this is not me. This is in fact me and some consumers actually know and study the consumer laws. 

My information was compromised in the XXXX  Equifax Data Breach and I have made that very clear to Equifax. 

I have 3 unauthorized, inaccurate, and fraudulent hard inquiries that may have been a result of attempted identity theft. I did not grant anyone written permissible purpose as defined by 15 U.S.C. 1681b. 

The three companies are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX I have spoken with the following reps with their Equifax ID # s provided below : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and about 2 or 3 other reps just today alone. 

All of these reps have hung up on me, even while having the phone call recorded on my end for an attorney to listen to. I have communicated to them multiple times that they were being recorded and I have them recorded saying that it is an " internal policy '' that they don't talk to anyone that is recording a call when Equifax records every single call. I have asked them what Federal law requires them to hang up on me and no one has been able to give me a law because that bull crap. 

I have been told that my SSN does not bring up an account for those with the hard inquiries so I should contact Equifax to have those removed and Equifax refuses to budge. They willingly continue to break the law and they do not even add in files that I have sent to have on my record. 

These inquiries, including soft inquiries, need to be removed IMMEDIATELY! They are not linked to any account and they are unauthorized, attempted identity theft, and fraudulent.
