Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
My credit score dropped more than XXXX XXXX points due to a late payment in XXXX after having XXXX years of perfect credit. I called trans union to figure out the cause. They said that there was XXXX late payment in XXXX that made it drop. They directed me to call the bank and request to have it removed. I called XXXX  XXXX XXXX and they told me that I actually had XXXX late payments. I told them that during those months, I had a family death, was graduating college, and moving out of my apartment. They told me that those were valid reasons to have those late payment reports removed. I checked my credit and it was still the same so I called trans union and asked why my credit score was not restored. They said the bank had not removed them. I then called the bank who said they had in fact removed the payment off of my record. Since then, i have called both XXXX  XXXX XXXX and Trans Union XXXX XXXX asking why my credit score has not been restored. Both companies tell me they are opening disputes to remove the charge and restore my credit and nothing has been done. My credit is still over XXXX XXXX points lower and I don't know who to call anymore to fix it or why the disputes are going nowhere.

Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX Account XXXX On XXXX, A company shown as CONVERGENT OUTSOURCING was reported to my credit report per Credit Report. I have never signed an agreement with this company, and Nore have I ever heard of them. Upon further research, the debitor 's creditor did not verify this collection. Also, there was NO written form of communication/contract or written signature for this accused debt at ALL. A bill without a ( written ) signature does not validate the debt as anybody can send an invoice and say it's mine. According to FCRA, this company has violated my rights as a consumer. I'm looking into taking legal action to remove the fallacious account from my credit report immediately! I wanted to see if my dispute could be resolved by taking all necessary steps before taking drastic action.

Complaint:
In XXXX of XXXX, I was coerced to open allow them to open several credit card accounts, to purchase {$2000.00} worth of Gift cards. I had been in communication online with someone that I thought was interested in being my wife. After She had sent me several XXXX pictures of herself, she convinced me to send XXXX of myself. She never asked for money for the XXXX pictures and was speaking to me as if she was going to move to where I live and marry me. I am a high functioning XXXX When my mother saw all the credit cards in the mail, she took actions to stop all the madness. The " girl '' sent the pictures to my mom to try to XXXX her, but my mom still insisted that I block this girl, cancel all the cards. My mom still has the pictures she sent my mom on her phone. The gift cards, were purchased with my XXXX Bank card which I am paying off. 
All the other credit cards canceled the card immediately, except for capital one. I had to make several phone cards to capital one to close the account. Finally, my mom got on the phone and told them that my identity was stolen and that this account needed to be closed. I did not open this card. Before capital one closed the account someone used the card. They opened 10 cards in my name before I froze my credit account through XXXX. I have disputed this through the 3 big credit reporting agencies. I have asked all three credit reporting agencies to freeze my credit. I finally found out that the card was used to purchase, without my knowledge, a XXXX phone at a XXXX store in XXXX California. We found out because XXXX sent us a letter. I am unable to access my Capitol one account and they refuse to send me a detailed statement. Stating that the billing address, and the email are not my billing address or email. I have lived at this address for 2 years, I have lived in Nebraska since XXXX. I do not drive, I am not able to fly on my own. However, Capital One keeps sending a past due amount to my address. Capital One just won't tell me exactly what was purchased. However, as I previously stated, I received a letter from XXXX. We contacted XXXX and learned that a XXXX phone was purchased on the same day as the charge Capital one has verbally told me over the phone that the charge occurred. It is also the same amount as the XXXX phone and XXXX verbally told me that the a Capital One card was used in California to purchase the XXXX phone.

Complaint:
Last XX/XX/XXXX, When I was applying for a Solar service in my house, The Solar company ran my credit and found out that I was not approved due to the 2 months late on house payments ( XXXX and XXXX of XXXX ). Right the same month, I contacted XXXX XXXX to fix this information since I never missed any mortgage payment. I received a letter from XXXX XXXX last XX/XX/XXXX, acknowledging my request to investigate the incorrect report on my credit. Every month, from that date on, I follow up with them and they told me to wait. 
After six months ( XX/XX/XXXX ), My credit score still reported late payments. This time I contacted the Vice President for Servicing to ask for help since nothing has been done on my case. I have been deprived of my right to equal and fair credit, I can not avail of a good credit rate because of this error. Every day, I was on the phone, asking begging them to provide me with the result of their investigation. I wasted many hours of wait time on the phone, receiving poor customer service, and no one cares. 
I believe I had given them enough time to resolve my issue but no action has been taken.
