Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:

The 3 credit bureaus must validate these accounts in line with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ).

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, Wells Fargo responded to a complaint via the CFPB portal stating that they have received my notice to cease and desist. Additionally, they have stated they received my debt validation letter. They have failed to validate the debt of { {$1500.00} }. According to case law, a consumer contract or credit card statement is not sufficient evidence for debt validation. 

The debt that is currently being reported to all three credit bureaus on my behalf is illegal and is in violation of my consumer rights pursuant to 18 U.S.C 894 for listing the debt on my credit report to negatively affect my future consumer transactions and swindling me into making payments in order to remove the account from my consumer report. Again, I do not give you funding permission to report collections to account for { {$1500.00} } for account number XXXX to any of the credit bureaus. 

A Cease and desist notice requires the company to refrain from all collection activities according to the privacy act of XXXX. Failure of Wells Fargo to remove the alleged debt from my consumer credit report within fifteen business days will and can result in legal action against them. Additionally, A Federal complaint will be made for illegal collection tactics.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
In XXXX, I transferred {$6000.00} to Barclays for a fee of 4 % ( {$240.00} ) with a promotional balance transfer of 0 % until XX/XX/XXXX. Since that time, if not before, they have been inappropriately applying payments resulting in accrued interest charges. 

For example, on XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment of {$1000.00} which was inappropriately applied to my promotional balance instead of my balance accruing interest. On XX/XX/XXXX, I made another payment of {$200.00} which was also incorrectly applied. 

My statement balance as of XX/XX/XXXX was {$2000.00}. Since that time, I have made payments of {$1500.00} and Barclay made one credit of {$64.00} to my account. Purchases of {$53.00}, an annual fee of {$89.00}, and {$100.00} in interest has been charged to the account. 

I was assured that neither the balance transfer fee ( {$240.00} ) nor the {$6000.00} promotional balance was accruing interest. However, the numbers simply do not add up and none of the representatives or managers I spoke with were able to adequately explain their interest calculations. 

I was told by a manager ( XXXX XXXX today that the " Interest Charge Calculation '' section of the statement was only projected numbers and should not be relied upon. This is very concerning to me.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I told the credit bureaus to " investigate every piece of information '' on the accounts I have listed below. Also I have attached the letter I sent out. 
According to the FRCA The term " investigative consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. 


They stated my account was verified but how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law. Also every piece of information on these accounts are still not reporting 100 % Accurate. 
And according to the FRCA 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % Accurate. I have the credit report showing the inaccuracies.

Complaint:
Equifax is consistently dropping my score and incorrectly reporting the wrong credit score.

Whether it's a coding error or what have you, it is causing me to be denied on applications to move into a new residence. I don't have any past due or any bills with debt. My bills are paid and my score is consistently dropping instead of increasing. I've disputed many times and after disputing my score gets dropped by 50+ points for no reason. Just this week I was sent several messages saying great job, keep up the great work, yet at the same time my score was decreased by 66+ points for no reason. 

XXXX is also inconsistent with Equifax and XXXX. 
All XXXX credit bureaus are inconsistent with each other, how can this be? 
Please help!

Sub-issue: Account opened as a result of fraud

Complaint:
In the past year, I have had different incidences of identity theft. Due to these incidences, back in the spring of XXXX, I put a credit freeze on all of my credit reports along with putting a freeze on XXXX to prevent bank accounts from being opened in my name. I also put identity theft alerts at these entities. 

COMPLAINT : Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I found out that XXXX accounts ( checking and debit ) were opened at Citibank AFTER they had contacted XXXX. I verified with XXXX that the freeze was in place. The rep at XXXX stated they can only report- they can not guarantee what the banking institution will do after they receive the XXXX report. I am angry and frustrated that I have done all I need to do to protect myself yet Citibank is not doing their due diligence to protect me.

Sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Complaint:
I have repeatedly contacted Discover. My card was stolen and they setup an XXXXXXXX XXXX account. Discover did refund historical charges but refuses to block new recurring charges. XXXX tells me they card is active and associated with an account and because Im not on the account they cant remove it. Neither party is willing to fix this. Basically every month Im going to have to contact discover to dispute a new XXXX recurring charge. Since its recurring, they say theres nothing they can do about it. 

I first contacted approx XX/XX/XXXX when I saw the charges. On XX/XX/XXXX was my most recent call. I told them explicitly if this is not resolved Ill contact CFPB. They reiterated they set up a block for new charges but arent able to block recurring charges. On XXXX XXXX charged me TWICE for XXXX for XXXX, and theres a XXXX statement credit on XXXX that I guess was automatically triggered. I cant get Discover or XXXX to stop fraudulent charges. 

I cant get them to stop. Please help me.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
I applied for a mortgage loan on XX/XX/2023. Upon submission of the application, I was paired with a loan officer by the name of XXXX XXXX. XXXX. 

She advised that their automated underwriting system didn't " score '' my application well and later shared that they would need tax returns. I declined to provide. However, I requested the application be submitted without tax returns ( federally-protected information ). XXXX says she submitted the application on my behalf without the information. After my second attempt at requesting a reference ID, she shared that the loan number is XXXX and that it is now " out of my hands ''. 

That information was given to me on XX/XX/XXXX. Over a week after I sent in the original application. Today is XX/XX/2023 and I have NOT received any mailed or emailed update regarding my application. I have NOT received any approval or denial notice either and I know for a fact either of those are to be provided to me. 

I'm seeking to remedy this issue now before moving forward through other means.
