Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity protection
Sub-issue: Problem with fraud alerts

Complaint:
Dear CFPB, About 10 months ago I was a victim of identity theft and went through all required procedures to protect myself. I filed a police report and FTC affidavit and notified all XXXX credit bureaus who shared the information with each other for my protection. After 6 months of working with the police everything was back to normal. Since fraud alerts make every financial transaction regarding credit or employment very sensitive I sent official letters to each agency with my passport scan and social security card scan along with employment identification making an official request to have the fraud alerts and security freeze removed. To my surprise only the XXXX agency has complied. There is still a short statement on my Equifax report the exact opposite of what I legally had requested removed under federal rights! I want these statements removed! Their inability to listen and follow instructions caused problems for me today during a particular transaction so this is it. I have attached a letter which was sent out in XXXX ...

Complaint:
My father had credit monitoring with Equifax and the monthly charge came out of our joint bank account. He passed away in XXXX. In XXXX, I called Equifax , told them he had died, and asked them to cancel his account. They told me they could n't talk to me and that he would have to cancel the service.

I contacted my bank to try to stop the charges, but as of yesterday, they have charged the account again.

Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Public record

Complaint:
I filed a complaint stating that the Public Record Information was inaccurate in its filing. As the term " Dismissed '' means that it is adjudicated by the law. My case concerned no form of solvency, nothing was placed under conservancy, examinership, liquidation or provisional debt reconstruction. There were no exemptions, no surrender of any kind as stated within the regulations of the BAPCPA " Means Test ''. The credit bureaus have retrieve my information from a third party entity without my authorization, therefore holding my identity and credit under " Consumer Lock '' for 10 years. The Bankruptcy Court has confirmed that they did not verify by documentation and the credit agencies have stated I can no longer challenge this negative entry. This discrepancy has prevented me in my personal life 's pursuit. Please advocate for me in this challenge.

Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting my free annual report

Complaint:
Several aspects to report : 1. I asked Equifax for my annual credit report through annual credit report website. Sent copies of my social and lease along. Got a letter from Equifax later, asking my copies again, and MY NAME WAS SPELLED WRONG on the letter. 

2. I sent the copies to Equifax again. Waited for more than two weeks. NO RESPONSE. 

3. I called Equifax, reporting the fact that I have n't received my annual report, and I found the wrong information regarding my name and a collection. XXXX, the agent, told me that their system was down and asked me to call back at XXXX. She promised they 'll be available until XXXX. I called at XXXX, only found out the operation time is XXXX to XXXX. Obviously, SHE LIED. 

I had the most horrible experience with Equifax. I ca n't believe they have the access to my personal and financial information. I hope there 's a way that I could stop dealing with this unprofessional and unethical company.

Complaint:
The servicing of my primary mortgage was transferred to Seterus over a year ago. I was sent a notification of transfer but did not receive payment information until well after my payment was due.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA
Product: Credit card
Issue: APR or interest rate

Complaint:
My wife and I purchased furniture at XXXX in XXXX with terms of 0 % financing with minimum payment until XXXX under Wells Fargo Bank. These terms were applied to half of our purchase and the other part of the purchase was changed to 0 % finance for 12 months. When I noted in XXXX that we were charged extensive finance charges on part of purchase, I was told by both the merchant and Wells Fargo Bank that there was nothing that could be done unless I could prove the terms of financing. At that time, I could not find my paperwork. This hurt our credit score and due to the finance charges also made it difficult to make such a high payment. When we were cleaning out our home for purchase, I found the original paperwork from XXXX stating the terms as agreed of 0 % financing until XXXX for the entire purchase. I contacted XXXX and provided them a copy of the paperwork on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and I was told that it was all taken care of on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX by the manager at XXXX, and it would show up in XXXX to XXXX billing cycles. I waited for approximately 6 weeks, and it still had n't shown up. I contacted the manager at XXXX and was told that someone dropped the ball, and that it would be taken care of. I then filled a dispute with Wells Fargo Bank. I provided Wells Fargo Bank a copy of the original paperwork showing that the wrong terms were applied on XXXX XXXX. I also told Wells Fargo Bank that resolving this issue was critical as we were purchasing a new home, and would not be able to acquire funding with an open dispute. I was told that they had up to 90 days to research this matter. I continually followed up with Wells Fargo Bank including my last call on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. My account is noted all the way through that the expedition of this research is needed due to the pending home loan. I was told that there was no way to expedite as they handle claims as they come in, and that they have up to 90 days to take care. Supervisors of the credit center have sent multiple emails to the billing department for an update on the status, and they have failed to respond. I indicated that they had caused my husband and I financial hardship by the bait and switch of finance terms, and now they have placed our home loan in jeopardy due to the open dispute status. I requested under the Fair Credit Reporting Act that this account be removed from my husband and my account until it is resolved since it took longer than 30 days. I was told that was impossible. At this time, we are not able to receive the home loan due to the open dispute status. We have now been caused further financial hardship/damage due to Wells Fargo Banks actions. We have lost both money from the home inspection and appraisal, and we are currently living in a XXXX with our entire family as we could not go forward with purchase, and our home was sold.

I 've submitted enough information regarding the fraudulent account that 's open in my name I have provided information for your company to have carried out a reasonable investigation of this dispute. If you had investigated properly rather then using your XXXX system you would have noticed that this account is not mine which your companies have claimed to " Verified ''. Since you 've obviously neglected to investigate this account thoroughly I am demanding you remove this account off my profile. It is at this time that I will point out the in XXXX TransUnion, XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX, XXXX, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA could n't merely " Parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and honesty/integrity of the creditors/CA in question. Sending out a generic form through the XXXX system that does n't even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. 

If you do n't initiate an investigation regarding my dispute, as it is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Which I 'm sure you are aware each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$1000.00} should this matter ends up in court. 
I look forward to an expedite resolution of this matter Thank you.
