State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
Trying to login to Experian 's website. Try to retrieve my user name using my birth date and social security number. Website says it sent an email to XXXX. This is not my email address. IT IS A XXXX  EMAIL! I don't have any addresses that end XXXX. I've tried many different ways to contact Experian to correct that but only run into automated responses that don't apply to this situation. I could find no way to contact a person. All phone number lead to automated systems that don't have an option for my problem and disconnect me if I try to get to an attendant.

State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
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:
XXXX and Equifax have both failed in correcting in accurate information only my credit report. I filed a dispute over my New Mexico State student loan what was not valid nor accurate. As well as the lack of information provided by both has been null. I request validation of the debt as well as proof of late payment. They both sent me nothing but stated they were verified without proof.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I have a XXXX XXXX Overdraft Protection Line of Credit which I've had for years, but very rarely use for more than a few days. I check all my accounts monthly, including this one, to determine if I owe any money to any of my open accounts, and pay the bill accordingly. When I login to online banking, the amount due is {$0.00}, Due Date is blank, Available credit is the full amount of my credit line, and Current Balance is {$0.00}. To any normal person, there would be no further action to take - so I took no action. Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX, I receive a cryptic email from XXXX XXXX @ XXXX XXXX requesting me to call her. There is no sense of urgency in her email. I called her and she explained that I had a past due balance of some {$4.00} and change. When I accessed my online banking, again it displayed the same information : the amount due is {$0.00}, Due Date is blank, Available credit is the full amount of my credit line, and XXXX XXXX is {$0.00}. She said in order to see the past due balance I had to physically click on the XXXX Now button and the website would then show the amount due. That's ridiculous by itself - since the website first said nothing was due. I indicated that I would pay the bill that day ( Tuesday ). When I attempted to pay the bill later that day ( I'm in CA now and XXXX XXXX is in MA, so there's a XXXX hour time change - XXXX XXXX was already closed ) it would not let me, saying I have to transfer a minimum of {$10.00}. I didn't owe {$10.00} - I owed {$4.00} and change, so I didn't have a way to pay it. There was no indication made to me that if I didn't pay the past due interest by that day I would receive negative credit reporting. That's exactly what happened. I was reported 30 days late to the bureaus because of a website error - the website was clearly communicating incorrect information. A consumer should not have to hunt and peck through the website to find how much is owed. If any amount is due, it should be displayed under the amount due column. I am attaching a screenshot of the website prior to making the payment that shows how information is being incorrectly displayed.

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

Complaint:
I have been violated by the XXXX, XXXX and Trans Union reporting agencies. My Information was given to them without my consent. 
Saying I owe a credit card debt. This debt is not mine. Not only is it not mine my privacy has been exposed and used by the credit reporting agencies. This has caused me a lose in founds. A lowering of my credit score which they have absolutely not right in doing. It has caused me much embarrassment and heart ship. There are many USC codes they have violated along with XXXX XXXX As well. I have already sent XXXX XXXX an identity theft repot as of 2 weeks ago. Ive also done a CFPB complaint on them as well. I was never notified of anyone running my credit nor was I notified about this account before being placed on my credit report. I demand XXXX, XXXX and Trans Union to remove the XXXX XXXX  information off my report and file along with the hard inquiry immediately. 
The worst part about this mess is none of the reporting agencies have the same amount or dates. The hard inquiry shows XXXX XXXX. The card was placed as an account on XXXX XXXX. How does that even make sense. I have pictures to prove this.

State: CO
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
I opened a Paypal Credit account. I later realized it was through Synchrony Bank not actually PayPal. 
I made a purchase to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for {$290.00}. When I got my statement it showed a " cash advance '' charge. I had never made a chash advance so I was confused and called for clarification. They reported it as unrecognized. They returned my money to my Synchrony account and took the money from XXXX XXXX. I then realized what it was and called them back to verify the charge. They recharged the amount to my Synchrony account on XX/XX/XXXX. However, they never paid the money back to XXXX XXXX. 25 phone calls, interest charges and hours of time later XXXX XXXX still does not have his money a year later. Paypall tell me to talk to Synchrony. Synchrony tells me to call Paypal but they will not actually talk to each other.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MD
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
Following my divorce in 2014 I had to rely more on my credit card purchases. Over the past five years I've accumulated some sizable credit card debt. Prior to my divorce I never carried a balance on any of the eight credit cards that I possess so managing credit card debt was a new challenge for me. With that said, I am very concerned about the amount of fees/interest that Citi Bank has been applying to my balances. I would voluntarily allow any federal regulator to review my entire file with Citi Bank. I'm confident that there is an enormous amount of egregious violations with my credit card statements with Citi Bank.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
Transunion in conjunction with XXXX keeps reporting that all info which is never provided to me the consumer is acceptable and accurate. 
As XX/XX/XXXX Transunion opened up the XXXX account which is charged off and is ex husband 's account to make it appear as an active auto loan. XXXX will not make.payment arrangements for specific dates, will not give balance owed which has received XXXX dollars and XXXX dollars in XXXX and XXXX, which is charged off after it was a judgement and paid on, which still has an incredible increasing amount because they will not supply balance, give receipts or bills, or and were not even sure if they could accept money because it was closed but that has not stopped Transunion in conjunction with XXXX from reporting major discrepancies such as loan amount, saying it was open account, and now messing up my payment history by saying a payment is late when indeed there IS NO payment date set in stone and the consumer has no clue balance owed or if it is even supposed to get payments to it because XXXX will not produce info. 
Also in XXXX I got divorced. The ex never showed up or responded to divorce but XXXX accepted his word I had to pay and judge said so. The ex took the car. XXXX refuses to go after ex XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX pa XXXX unless he calls in because he is pretty much exempt due to a fictious letter. This needs fixed. It is not an open account. It is charged off. It is not late.
