Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AR
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

Complaint:
My wife and I request our free credit reports from the 3 bureaus every year since it first was offered. Our most recent request was XXXX XXXX, 2017. Neither of us have problems with XXXX or XXXX. My wife always receives her eperian report promptly.
However, I have a complaint about experian. EVERY year, they ask for " additional '' information on myself. Name, SSN, address, date of birth PLUS copy of government ID PLUS utility bill. They say they can not find me and offer " special offers ''. In other words, they do not want to give the free report, they want me to buy their products.
My wife and I have the same address and same accounts. I provided all requested info and document copies, but they still can not find me. This seems wrong to me. I have purchased my report in the past and they can magically find me. I think experian needs to be a more professional company. Of course, you ca n't call them and it takes so long to hear back when writing. Please help.

Sub-product: Auto debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against REGIONAL ACCEPTANCE CORP for violating a cease and desist notice they received XX/XX/2022 and for continuing to invade my individual privacy by committing abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices. I have attached a debt validation letter, a Cease-and-Desist notice, Exhibit A which is a copy of the account reporting on my XXXX consumer report, Exhibit B which is a copy of the account reporting on my XXXX consumer report and a pdf of an FTC report that will be labeled as Exhibit C when filing litigation in Federal Court to this complaint . There is no statute of limitation on fraud because I never contracted with them and they have no reason to have my identifying information. Also Pursuant 15 USC 1692g ( c ), I have not validated any alleged debt with REGIONAL ACCEPTANCE CORP and my failure to dispute the validity of these alleged debt shall not construct as an admission of liability. As of XXXX XXXX I have not received any documentary evidence, such as a trilateral contract, giving REGIONAL ACCEPTANCE CORP any right to collect on this alleged debt. It is my belief that REGIONAL ACCEPTANCE CORP are attempting unlawful extortionate activities and theft by deception by attempting to furnish false and deceptive forms. I have never received any documentation requesting validation from REGIONAL ACCEPTANCE CORP before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA and the FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report. If REGIONAL ACCEPTANCE CORP can not provide me with proof such as a tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulent furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation.

Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX 2017 my checking account was fraudulently charged XXXX by USPS. Upon learning of the transaction I immediately called and disputed the charge. The transaction was used to purchase a money order that I myself did not purchase. Chase refunded the charge and submitted a claim for fraud. A week later the funds were taken out of my account again. I contacted Chase and was informed that my claim had been rejected so the funds had been reversed. They stated that because it was a PIN based transaction they could not move forward with the claim because I had no proof that I did n't make the transaction. I stated multiple times that I did not make the purchase, I did not give my card to anyone, and no one knows my pin. I called several times after that to ask for information regarding transactions on my account. During my own investigation I was told by a member of the fraud team that there was a non chase ATM balance inquiry made on XX/XX/XXXX, the day before the USPS charge, at an ATM in XXXX WA at XXXX XXXX. I never go to Non Chase ATMs so I found this suspicious. My previous transaction that day occurred at XXXX XXXX at the Oregon XXXX. I was in fact at the Oregon XXXX on X/X/17. I have Pictures to prove that. XXXX WA is 3 hours XXXX of XXXX Oregon, where the Oregon XXXX is located. I explained this all to the fraud team in the effort to get the to understand that there was clearly a duplicate of my card out there and they had my pin. I could not have made purchases at the Oregon XXXX in XXXX Oregon and then traveled 3 hours north, in just an hour, to make a balance inquiry at a Non Chase ATM in XXXX WA. My claim was reopened. Today my claim was again rejected. I 've spoken to many senior supervisors at the fraud department of Chase and they have no intention of returning my fraudulent funds.

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I needed another copy of my Social Security Card. I am attaching a file I wrote previously. I am so angry I do n't believe I can type it all again. When I realized they wanted my drivers license, insurance card, etc actually mailed in AFTER I HAD PAID THEM ... no way was I sending them off to someone. I called and CANCELED MY ORDER. XXXX with XXXX said I could only get half back! That is why I called Netspend to cancel my card and file a dispute as they already had my money! The Netspend Customer Rep REFUSED to cancel but said he would file a dispute ( that he DID NOT FILE! ) but he said he " WANTED TO PUT MY MONEY BACK TO SEE IF THEY WOULD TAKE IT AGAIN!! '' I told him I wanted my card CANCELLED!!! He still refused! I am trying to live on {$730.00} a month which is impossible!!!! He did not follow company guidelines for such things. Each time they sent me an email and said if I wanted my documents in reference to this issue to message them back. I get another email repeating the same thing. Today I got a letter which I will also attach! I am now unable to access my account! The past three times I have tried to log-in, my password does n't work. I reset the password and get into my account and I am literally KNOCKED OUT of it!! Try again and my password does n't work again!!! This is more than ridiculous!!! I 'm madder than anyone can imagine!!! My SSN was stolen originally by my ex-husband. I made a huge, stupid mistake because I have a difficult time going anywhere and no, I am totally alone and do NOT have anyone to help me. More criminals have my SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND OTHER INFORMATION, THE ENTIRE {$37.00}, OF WHICH THEY NEVER REFUNDED HALF OF AS THEY CLAIMED, NOR DID I EVER RECEIVE ANYTHING! As for the one email I was able to take pictures of, Netspend claims their rep verified the purchase with the company??? If it was n't a scam then, where in the XXXX is at least 1/2 of my money? Or, where is my SS Card? Why am I bring locked out and knocked out of my account since I sent them my reply to their email? I do n't have enough time to transfer my Direct Deposit to another card! The way they are behaving suddenly, and it is NOT a coincidence, no way in XXXX, I 'm afraid they will keep my Direct Deposit. I have never seen anything like this before but nothing surprises me anymore either.

Complaint:
In XXXX of 2016, I was notified by XXXX XXXX credit monitoring that a credit application was made for a XXXX XXXX credit card using my social security number. Shortly after the first attempt, another attempt was made, this time with XXXX XXXX. I confirmed that these were fraudulent attempts, filed a police report, and submitted the requisite documentation to the credit agencies to implement a 7-year fraud alert on my account.

Since the original incidence of identity theft, I have filed a total of 11 disputes with Equifax ( two examples attached ), but they still refuse to remove the hard inquiries. Despite evidence I have provided, Equifax still insists these are " a factual record '' : > > > We have reviewed the inquiry information for XXXX ( XXXX ).

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: AR
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
Comenity - Gander Credit Card Never received statement in XX/XX/XXXX.
The XX/XX/XXXXstatement has a late fee of {$27.00}, which I understand, since I never received a statement so the bill was unpaid. 3 times I have not received a statement from this company and I tried to set up auto pay, but was informed that they do n't set up accounts on auto pay.
The main problem was a interest charge of {$77.00}, in addition to the late fee, on a {$220.00} balance, making my new balance {$330.00}.
The statement clearly shows the interest rate on the {$220.00} balance as 25.99 % ( which is already very high ), however if you do the math the actual interest rate incurred is 33.79 %.
This company is posting one interest rate, but charge a larger interest rate. ( I guess they are hoping people ca n't do math and will just pay the higher rate. ) I have paid off the new balance of {$330.00}, so they ca n't continue to add bogus interest fees, however I should not have been charged this amount, so I am filing this complaint.
Comenity should not be allowed to continue charging interest rates different than the amount posted on their statements, which is clearly an legal practice.
Also, there should be some type of law on the books making illegal for them to intentionally withhold customer statement in the hopes that their customer will forget to make payment, so they can charge additional fees. They do n't send electronic statements and do n't allow their customer to be set up on auto payment. This makes customers more likely to forget to make payment, allowing them to charge late fees.
