Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Application denied

Complaint:
I had applied for a Wells Fargo Bilt credit card XXXX ( around the XXXX ) of this year. I was soon after informed that my application was denied and I very recently received a letter stating the reasons for the denial. I did not agree with the reasons so I called them again and I was told your application would be re-evaluated. Within the next 5-10 min, I received another email saying my application was denied. I happened to get my free annual credit report from XXXX today and was cross-checking the facts in order to check if there's something wrong which might have caused the denial, which wasnt the case. I immediately called Wells Fargo to address this on the XXXX of XXXX, I talked to someone from the customer service team and on further exchange and request, she forwarded me to the escalation team. I talked to them for a good 20 minutes but in vain. I explained how each of the reasons provided in their letter to me wasn't true and did not stand ground and I requested an explanation from them regarding the same. I was repeatedly told that they do not make the application decision and it's XXXX that actually does it and its them whom I should be calling instead of them for any information. I told them that's not how it should work and that XXXX only provides the reports to lenders, based on which each lender makes their own decision but again I was dismissed by saying that they don't handle the decisions and they can not answer my questions. I then called XXXX hoping for some clarity but as expected they said the same thing that I had assumed, they just provide the reports. It should be Wells Fargo that makes these application decisions and that they can't answer my queries for me. Wells Fargo has been absolutely oblivious and have acted in the most unaccountable and unprofessional manner in the way they have behaved with processing my Bilt credit card application. I have good credit and have never defaulted on any payments, I have 4 credit cards and a healthy auto loan as well. I just wanted the Bilt credit card for benefits on rent payments, but this has been a cumbersome experience and I know for a fact this has happened to other people too. Please advise on how I can get more clarity on the denial of my application where I completely disagree with the reasons provided. I have provided my XXXX credit report as an attachment as well.

I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.

Company: The CBE Group, Inc.
State: NY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
After some incorrect accounts were removed from my credit report, I suddenly found another entry from THE CBE GROUP INC-FORMER indicating that I owed {$400.00}. I am puzzled because I have no recollection of any such debt. To clarify the situation, I contacted the only company I had a service with, which had disconnected my line due to poor service, and asked them to provide any statements or records of unpaid bills. However, they claimed they had no information or statements to offer. 

To my surprise, THE CBE GROUP INC-FORMER has now appeared on my credit report seemingly out of nowhere. I attempted to dispute the entry, insisting that it was an error, but they maintained that the information was accurate, disregarding my explanation of the mistake. 

I am requesting validation, made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
