Company: Continental Finance Company, LLC

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
I have power or attorney for my ill father. I contacted XXXX/CONTFIN by phone at ( XXXX ) XXXX to inform XXXX/CONTFIN that the alleged account # XXXX opened up on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for {$500.00} could not be owed by my father ( XXXX XXXX ) as they have reported on his credit report because on XXXX, XXXX XXXX was in the XXXX and XXXX with a condition that left him XXXX. Therefore, this account had been fraudulently opened and fraudulently reported by XXXX/CONTFIN to the XXXX, XXXX, and or other credit agencies. 
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I called XXXX/CONFIN and spoke with to XXXX, who informed me he could not give any information unless a Power of Attorney was mailed to XXXX, DE XXXX. I told him I mailed it around XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. XXXX then said give it 10 days. I said ok. I called again on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and spoke with a female associate who 's name stared with a XXXX. 
At this point I was informed she does not know whether they received a power of attorney form and the debt had been sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I said so now I have to mail the power of attorney to them. She placed me on hold and came back and said she does not know whether they received the power or attorney but she could not tell me anything. I ended the call. 
My problem is that I sent them a Power of Attorney that is not being acknowledged. My original letter to them was sent with the power of attorney requesting they prove the debt is owed by mailing to me the signed application by my father, any statements sent to my fathers home address. I have had power of attorney since XXXX for my father and has never received any statements at his home address of almost 40 years from this company. 
This is the information I needed to have them correct his credit report they damaged by placing false information to the credit agencies. 
I want XXXX/CONFIN as a resolution to submit to me proof that the debt is owed, showing the original application signed by XXXX XXXX my father and any statements sent to his home address. When XXXX/CONFIN finds my father did not sign these documents or open this account to remove all negative credit information from all credit agencies including XXXX, XXXX, and other agencies

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Complaint:
I first disputed with experian numerous accounts to have validated and legally able to report. I got back a list in which they refused to investigate stating they investigated and dont need to. Then I received a form letter stating items they did investigate was complete. I then sent letters out asking for verification that a reasonable investigation was done and per FCRA to send me all documentation proving such was done. They sent me a form letter back just stating how they do investigation NO information. Now mind you there are accounts that were purchased by collectors who re aged accounts and arent reporting accurate dates of opening delinquency etc. This is called reaging. It is against the FCRA. These accounts should match the account in which debt buyer purchased from lender. It shouldnt be a new account! this is just one of a few issues I have and its plain to see on the credit report the reaging. You can look at status dates also as they are prior to my request. Experian doesnt want to do anything but send out form letters with no proof any investigation was done and just by looking at my reports you can see the total XXXX just with re aging of accounts. After all this I got tired of spending time dealing with this incompetent company which should have some documentation showing it is legitamate for them to report items and I asked for those and evidence that they per FCRA did a reasonable investigation and all I get is form letters back stating wont investigate and no information regarding investigations they were supposed to have done. Its getting very old with this company. Personally I dont believe they do a XXXX thing. If they did theyd be able to prove it. I then sent out intent to sue and what did they send back a form letter saying how they do investigation and that they wont reinvestigate. So much inaccurate infomation its to the point if they are going to allow and dont care they should be sued.XXXX accounts alone by XXXX have been reaged and these people cant figure this out. All the items I listed should be removed because this company did NO investigation what so ever. Now they have even blocked me from going online to file dispute. This company shouldnt even be in business. I would hate to have to go to court but it seems thats the only way these people wish to deal with people.

Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2016, I was moving into a new home and starting a new job. I called fedloanservicing extremely concerned that my credit would be effected as I 'd believed I had n't made a payment on time. The employee on the phone told me not to worry and specifically positioned to me that not only was I on time, but that I could actually make my single monthly payment every three months without them being considered delinquent or negatively impacting my credit score. As I was taking on some new expenses during this transitional period and based on this new information that the employee gave me - I decided there and then on the phone that I would start make my monthly payment every three months. I wanted reassurance and a guarantee from her that this would not effect my credit at all and she told me so long as I was n't outside of three months I would be fine and that even then, it would be considered a single late payment. 
I felt so relieved ... little did I know was that nearly none of what she told me was true. Fast forward to today and I see that my good credit of around XXXX was utterly decapitated and is now under XXXX. I received no attempt at communication or warning that my account was delinquent nor in danger of having my credit damaged. 5 years of consistently on time payments and even additional payments from tax returns to help further chip away at my debt and my trust in one their employees ruins everything I 've worked for. I called fedloanservicing immediately upon finding out they 'd reported me for a whopping 10 late payments and explained my situation. This time the employee on the phone could have cared less about my situation and explained there was nothing they could do to fix my credit score. When I asked to speak to a manager they said there would n't be anything they could do either ... I XXXX fedloanservicing afterwards and saw nothing but the absolute worst professional reviews for them pop up on the first page of results. 
Do n't trust anything their employees tell you! Make your payments on time and do not stray from original payment plan you set up - if you can avoid fedloanservicing, do so as if they have the plague!

Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account terms

Complaint:
ATTN : Legal Department, This is a notice of dispute pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), section 623, subsection ( 8 ) ( D ). The specific information under dispute is the derogatory nature of the information your agency has furnished to the credit reporting agencies in connection with the following accounts : The basis for my dispute is that, as I understand the code, your office was required to notify me, in writing, prior to, or no later than 30 days after furnishing any negative information to the consumer credit reporting, that such information was being furnished. This notification is required under the FCRA, section 623, subsection ( 7 ) ( A ). To date, I have not received any documentation in compliance with this section. 
I am requesting that you provide me with proof of notification, i.e. a copy of the actual notification sent, and proof that it was delivered to me in a timely manner. 
If you can not provide proof of notification and date of receipt then you can not substantiate that you complied with the procedures required under the FCRA. In which case, the continued reporting of negative information to the credit reporting agencies in connection with the aforementioned accounts may constitute the reporting of false information, causing damage to my reputation and future credit worthiness. 
To resolve this situation, I ask that you investigate this matter, and modify the accounts accordingly. I also ask that you inform the appropriate credit reporting agencies of your actions, and ask that they make the proper updates to the accounts at issue. 
It is my understanding that the FCRA 623 ( 8 ) ( E ) ( iii ) establishes a time-frame for these issues, and that section 621 of the FCRA supports my request in this matter. I have also requested the guidance and support of the Attorney General 's office. The items that appear on my credit report as : XXXX. ACCOUNT NAME : XXXX ( XXXX ) ACC BAL : {$470.00} This account has wrong balance and still listed as open error please delete inaccurate. 
2.ACCOUT NAME : XXXX ( XXXX ) ACC BAL {$260.00} This account I have never done business with this company I have no contract with XXXX please delete XXXX 
3.XXXX ( XXXX ) ACC BAL : $ XXXXThis account is a HIPPA Act Violation. Please delete error. 
Again, I expect every part of this listing on my report to be individually verified as accurate or the entire item should be deleted.

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: DC
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
I have a business checking and savings as well as a personal account with M & T Bank which has been open for roughly XXXX years. When I opened the account, I was incentivized to have any fees waived by opening a business and personal bundle. XXXX accounts waived a {$25.00} business checking fee and a {$14.00} personal account fee. This occurred until the middle of this year. 

As noted above, the {$25.00} dollar charge and {$14.00} charge stopped being waived without explanation. I called the bank each month to ask why this stopped and was told that I was compliant with the bundle policy communicated to me upon opening. On XX/XX/2022, I noticed additional charges and called to inquire. Today ( XXXX ), I was told that there is now an account minimum which I do not meet ( and have never met ) and that the branch manager was waiving this fee at his /her discretion. 

These changes were never communicated to me in any written or electronic form. Previous interactions with live customer service representatives - as recently as XXXX / XX/XX/2022- indicated no account balance minimum or bundle waiver issue. 

I was told today verbally by a customer service representative that they will now send me something in writing- only after the charges have been imposed to both my personal and business checking. 

Arbitrary enforcement of bundle fees with no communications is clearly a misleading effort by M & T Bank to sell/ bundle their accounts and boost account opening stats. 

I'd appreciate if there was an inquiry into these types of practices.
