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:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I went on XXXXXXXX to check my credit report and found a credit card account and an address that was not mine. I called them to file a dispute to remove them off of my credit report. An investigation was initiated and processed with XXXX XXXX and Equifax as well. On XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax completed their investigation and XXXX XXXX completed theirs. XXXX also completed their investigation today XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX was able to remove the credit card from my report. Unfortunately, XXXX and Equifax are still keeping the credit card on my report saying that everything was verified but I never verified anything and I never owned any credit cards nor have I applied for any. XXXX also removed the address that wasnt mine from my account information but the issue with the credit card still remains. My credit report is frozen and locked so that no one can have access to my information. There should be nothing on my credit report but the closed accounts I have from student loans.

Company: American Financial Resources, Inc.
State: MD
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process
Sub-issue: Payment process

Complaint:
My current loan servicer is American Financial Resources ( AFR ) also known as XXXX. I tried to submit a payment on XX/XX/XXXX and was not able to log into the system. I received a letter on the same day ( letter dated XX/XX/XXXX ) that the loan was being transferred effective XX/XX/XXXX. After that date the new servicer would be collecting payment which meant that my current loan servicer would still be collecting payment until that date. The letter stated to contact the current servicer and new servicer if I had questions. I have contacted my current servicer via 5 different telephone numbers, one of which was provided in the letter and others I found online, and via XXXX which is where customers usually go for account information. I am getting nothing but recordings that state either the agents can't access accounts or the systems are down and please hold for a representative that never comes on the line. I have also tried to reach out to my new servicer and they have no information because I am not yet their customer, technically. I am afraid now that my account will be in default because I have no way of accessing my account while their transition is taking place and today is XX/XX/XXXX ( 3 more days until my loan is 30 days late ). I feel that AFR/XXXX  is still responsible to their customers up until the date specified in the letter.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: RI
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Can't close your account

Complaint:
I opened an account with Marcus in early XXXX. I had an unexpected bill come and tried to withdraw money to my checking to pay for my daughters birth bill. They told me I couldnt and were extremely rude on the phone. I instructed them I want to close my account in the second week of XXXX. I was then called back and told I couldnt close my account nor get my money. I was transferred to a supervisor and was given a confirmation number and everything. The supervisor apologized, but they still did nothing. Fast forward to today and I still have no update on my account being closed, they locked my account, and still have not given me any information on when the account would be closed. I was giving seven to ten business days which passed a long time ago. I call everyday and they STILL said they had no update. Absolutely unacceptable when I have a considerable amount of money in the account. Something needs to be done, going a month and half without any information is not okay. A bank should not be allowed to hold your money hostage when a customer request the account to be closed. I have no avenue to get my money which I think seems highly illegal. The banks name is Marcus but is owned and ran by Goldman Sachs.

I was recently informed that I did not have to recertify my IDR through Mohela from my pre-pandemic COVID pause recertification date XXXX Tax Year.

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I have an XXXX Credit Card, it used to be issued by US Bank, but was switched over to XXXX XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment to pay off the balance I had of {$130.00} on the credit card. It did go through but then unfortunately on XX/XX/XXXX, this payment was returned. My account with US Bank was shut down shortly after, so I did not know that this payment was returned, nor was I informed of this. 

When I finally received my XXXX XXXX card on XX/XX/XXXX, and was able to activate it and log in, they showed me as having a late payment for the {$130.00}, and also some accrued late payment fees. At no point during this time did US Bank or XXXX XXXX reach out to me to let me know I had an outstanding balance, so I believed my account to be in good standing. I also could not log into either bank during this transition, so I had no reason to believe any of this was going on. 

I paid off the amount, and also explained the situation to XXXX XXXX, and got the late fees removed. 

Unfortunately, XXXX XXXX also submitted a late payment to my credit report. This dropped my score by nearly 100 points. 

Since then I have dealt with customer service for credit disputes at both banks ( US Bank, who claims they can no longer look up my account number or any of my info with them, and XXXX XXXX, who claims the late payment is valid as they inherited the card with the outstanding amount on it ). 

I disputed this with the credit bureaus with no luck and was told I needed to take it up with XXXX XXXXXXXX. 

I submitted a written dispute to XXXX  XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I submitted a 2nd written dispute to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I then submitted a written dispute to US Bank XX/XX/XXXX. All of these came back denied. US Bank still will not provide me my account number or any information about this incident. 

I started a dispute with the credit dispute company XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX. They have submitted XXXX disputes with the credit bureaus that both were unsuccessful. 

I still believe this to be an error that was not my fault. 

I believe US Bank originally Made the error by not accepting the payment provided ( and not notifying me of this ). XXXX XXXX then inherited a card with an outstanding amount and made the report to the credit Bureaus.

I kindly request that you promptly investigate this matter and initiate the necessary steps to delete these unauthorized inquiries from my consumer report. It is crucial that your agency takes immediate action to rectify this error, as the presence of these inquiries is not only inaccurate but also has the potential to impact my creditworthiness and financial well-being. 
Please find my information below for reference : Name : XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NC XXXX Email Address : XXXX I expect your full cooperation in resolving this matter expeditiously, within the prescribed timeframes as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) or 30 days from this document 's date.

Furthermore, I request that you provide me with a copy of my updated consumer report once the unauthorized inquiries have been removed.
