State: NJ
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: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. 
Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. I have disputed this XXXX XXXX and it has not been corrected. The account is still reporting wrong on my credit report but it is already closed. 
The account has been closed however, the account payment status is late. The account payment status CAN NOT be late on an account that has already been closed. The account status is wrong and should be closed. Now, I want you to correct this misinformation on my file. Under Section 614, restrictions on investigative consumer reports [ 15 U.S.C. 1681l ], you only restrict to investigate my personal file if no adverse information in my report ( other than information which is a matter of public record ) may be included in a subsequent consumer report unless such adverse information has been verified in the process of making such subsequent consumer report, or the adverse information was received within the three-month period preceding the date the subsequent report is furnished.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: GA
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I hereby dispute the current payment status and remark comment associated with my credit report for DISCOVER BANK for a Credit Limit of {$9000.00}. The remark comment indicates " Payment after charge off/collection, '' and I believe that this information is inaccurate and does not reflect the true status of this account. 


The extended duration of the inaccuracies in my Payment History for Current Payment Status and Remark comment serves as evidence that the credit reporting agency and the furnisher knowingly and recklessly violated the FCRA. 


I would like to clarify the following points : Payment History : Contrary to the remark comment, I want to emphasize that I have not made any payments on this account after it was Charged off or sent to Collections. Therefore, it is inaccurate to suggest that there have been any payments made in this regard to support a Current Payment Status as Charged off or sent to Collections.

Current Status : While this account may have had a Charge-off or Collection status in the past, it is essential to note that it has been resolved, and there is no outstanding balance or active Collection effort related to this account. This would make the Payment History for Current Payment Status and Remarks being reported as Charged off or sent to Collections inaccurate and false. 


Considering this information, I demand that my credit report be updated to report only accurate account information in regard to my Payment History for Current Payment Status and Remark comment. I respectfully request that you immediately investigate and rectify the Current Payment Status and Remark comment associated with this account. It is crucial that my credit report accurately reflects the status of my financial obligations, and the current Remark comment is not only misleading but is not being accurately reported as required by law and is detrimental to my creditworthiness. 


In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 1681s-2, I exercise my right to dispute any inaccurate information on my credit report. Please conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and provide a written response within 30 days, as required by law, informing me of the results of your investigation and any actions taken. 


Thank you for your prompt attention to this dispute. Failure to properly dispute this information pertaining to the Remark comment will result in a request to the IRS for a review of the missing 1099-C in support of Charge-off tax requirements. I anticipate the correction of the inaccurate current payment status remark comment on my credit report.

Complaint:
There is an account from XXXX XXXX debt collection agency reporting on my Experian, XXXX, and XXXX credit reports. This information that is reported is inaccurate and against the contract that the original creditor signed. The original creditor Smoky Crossing apartments made me sign a form to relieve me under any responsibilities on the lease being broken because I was just a property manager for a company that I worked for XXXX XXXX and the financial responsibility of the lease was on XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX agreed and signed off on the responsibility to be on him and XXXX XXXX. I was only put on the lease to be able to hold a set of keys for them both since they were always out of town. The paperwork that I have attached legally says that XXXX XXXX 's name is removed from this lease so it should not be reporting on my credit reports with XXXX, Experian, and XXXX. The credit bureaus keep ignoring my requests and have not formally validated the debt because I have sent this information off before. I demand that this collection agency stop its collection efforts for reporting unfair and inaccurate information. Also, my name is XXXX XXXX ( Proof of ID Attached ) This situation that this creditor did not tell the truth about has been an invasion of privacy and a defamation of character to furnish incorrect information without my permission. Especially when I am not responsible for this debt. I have not been able to rent a new home. Please delete it immediately so I do not have to ensure legal action.

This complaint is a continuation of the current open complaint XXXX. After filing complaint XXXX, Fortiva falsely reported to credit bureau that my account is over 30 days past due. This is a clear violation of the FCRA. I have only been contracted with Fortiva for 9 weeks. My first INCORRECT payment per original complaint was auto debited by Fortiva, from my bank account on XX/XX/23. My second payment due date was XX/XX/23. Fortiva falsely reported that my account is over 30 days late on XX/XX/23, causing a XXXX point score drop on my credit report. I spoke with Fortiva representative on XX/XX/23 at XXXX, she stated she could only note my account, she could not make changes. She stated that her call was to address missed payment due on XX/XX/23. I advised her that I would be filing suit against the company for reporting false information to the credit bureaus

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023, I opened a savings account at Chase Bank because I am an international student and do not have an SSN ( Social Security Number ). After submitting the required documents, the local staff assured me that I could open the account and update my personal information through the mobile app in the future. However, today I attempted to change my linked phone number but received a message stating that I can not make this change online. I called Chase headquarters for assistance, but I was told that without an SSN, I can not make phone-based modifications.

I spent over 30 minutes on the phone, and Chase kept transferring me to different departments without resolving my issue of changing my phone number. 

Is this how Chase Bank handles security concerns for its customers ' bank accounts? Is this the level of disregard for customer concerns? I kindly request your department 's intervention to address this matter.

Complaint:
I can not sign on to Experian 's website. I probably have an old account I no longer have records for. I don't know which of two email addresses I used as a userid. I don't know the password either. Using their online recovery method, they say the phone number I have is not what they have on record. This is required information for the online recovery. The previous phone number ( which is disconnected anyway ) gets the same error. This dead end occurs with both email addresses. 

When trying to get telephone help, you can try lots of paths through the automated system, but you always wind up at the useless recovery method described above. There is no option to speak to a real person. If you say " representative '' or push " 0 '', it tells you it can not connect you to a specialist. I am trying to place a freeze on my credit report. So far the only thing Experian offers is doing it by paper mail. 

I tried creating a new account from scratch, but when I selected a userid and password, it told me the usedid could not contain the password, which was nonsense. They were not similar in any way, plus the usedids I tried were from 6 to 10 characters long and the password was always 17 characters and met all the complexity rules. 

Some other credit reporting agencies allow this without having an account with userid and password. I'm not accusing Experian of anything unethical, but it occurs to me that by preventing the freeze from occurring, they will continue to receive a fee for requests for my credit report. I'm aware of four other credit reporting agencies and this task was quick and easy to complete with all of them.
