Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
REGARDING : XXXXXXXX XXXX for an alleged balance of XXXX ( or approximately ) This merchant has promised to investigate and correct this incorrect reporting. 

I provided my account information details along with the {$0.00} balance as well as having made a phone call and speaking to representatives by phone and then providing this information to Experian Credit services as well as XXXX and XXXX. Experian sent me a generic response and ignored the information I provided to show that a late/Delinquent amount of {$28.00} was being reported increasingly late with each passing month. Experian disregarded the information I provided in favor of this merchant despite having been provided actual documents contradicting the incorrect reporting. No such investigation was performed where someone actually took the time to look at the ancillary information in order to perform an actual investigation as promised and as promised by law. Simply, a effortless response was generated by someone who didn't care and only cared about making their job as easy and painless as possible while I was deprived of my rights under this instance. Consequently, my credit score has been impacted after a long time showing and reflecting a good responsible payment history. At minimum, the benefit of the doubt where provided should have been in my favor but yet was given to a corporation which suffers no loss in this case and is entirely unaffected. Over the past few years, these Credit Reporting Bureaus have lost credibility due to this very behavior and have promised publicly to improve but as observed here- makes no effort whatsoever. I am requesting action against this credit bureau and respectfully requesting compensation for this negligence. I am also considering legal action apart from this complaint. Thank you in advance.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
There are two accounts and some inquiries on my report that after contacting the company and trying to get more information they were unable/refused to give me info to verify the account because whoever set up the account used information that I don't know outside of my personal information so they said i had to file a ftc report . Not sure how its to protect me if I am telling them that I am me and i never set the accounts up. I have attached a copy of the Identity Theft report as well as copy of my ID. The accounts that are fraudulent are as follows XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX inquired on XX/XX/2022. The only thing that makes sense is someone at the lending company misused my info because I was preapproved when i purchased my home so I never gave my info to have them to check for financing. When I called the lender they confirmed they never tried to run my credit because I had a preapproval that covered the cost of the home. 

With that being said, inquiry law that applies here is 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( B ) ( i ) ( 3 ) To credit reporting agency The inquiry was not authorized. 
Did not consent to unauthorized inquiry.

Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA
State: NH
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:
On XX/XX/XXXX I scheduled a {$200.00} payment to the XXXX XXXX XXXX1st BankcardXXXX back XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX they processed a payment for $ XXXX the total balance on the card. On XX/XX/XXXX the payment cleared my bank, and paid 1st Bankcard, draining my savings and creating overdraft charges and not having monies to pay my bills for the rest of the month. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I called 1st Bankcard to report their error and issue a refund. They said the payment was on an internal hold and to call my bank to have them stop the payment. I called my bank and they relayed the payment can not be stopped because it already has cleared and has been paid to 1st Bankcard. They suggested to call 1st Bankcard again so they can reversed the payment. 
I called 1st Bankcard again. No results, they stated the payment was on a hold, until XX/XX/XXXX and I would have to call back on XX/XX/XXXX to have the refund processed. Needles to say, this is not acceptable and I was extremely mad. I explained they had my money, it has cleared the bank. I also explained, they already are showing the credit/payment on my XXXX Statement. They refused to issue the refund in a timely manner, basically stealing my money for over 10 days. 

Then I started thinking and remembered this happening before, and wondering how the XXXX could I hit pay balance in full when I have to enter the amount to pay. Just not something that would happen, let alone twice. I started looking back at my statements from 1st Bankcard and to my horror- this happened exactly 1 year ago to the date. I'm thinking this is not a coincidence but a bad business practice of this company. On XX/XX/XXXX 1st Bankcard process a {$12000.00} payment instead of my scheduled {$240.00} payment. Again, I had to call to have the payment reversed and again they did not process the refund in a timely manner, they waited until XX/XX/XXXX to refund my money. 

Now, is it possible for me to make a mistake and click the wrong button when paying a bill, yes. But is it probable- not likely since the pay in full button is not near the enter a payment amount. It is also not probable to make a pay in full payment twice, exactly a year to the day. Even when speaking to my bank, the representative commented, " maybe they did what they wanted, I'm just saying '' Funny how a credit card company calls or texts you when you make a large purchase, but don't inquire when a large payment, that is not normal happens. Could that be because I really didn't authorize that payment- highly probable. 

Two issues, not refunding their payment processing error in a timely manner and this strangley happeing twice- exactly a year apart.
