Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
In XXXX of XXXX my family and I decided to transfer 4 XXXX wireless cell phone lines over to XXXX as part of their " We'll cut your cell phone bill in half '' campaign. I was skeptical at first, and asked the salesman a lot of questions about their service, how quickly the conversion takes place when they switch your phone numbers over to XXXX  phones, etc. He promised a smooth transition. However, 3 weeks later, we still had 2 phones that didn't work properly, my sons texts were going to my wife 's phone and visa versa, and so I had to spend the better part of each day for 3 weeks calling their service number, and having to re-explain the situation all over again from scratch, as they kept no computer records of the previous days interactions, and nobody knew how to fix the problem of getting our phones to work properly. After 3 weeks of XXXX, I took the new phones into the branch and returned them and asked them to cancel our service, as they we're never able to provide the services they promised to us. The salesman was very apologetic and said we would get us a full refund, and I believed the case was closed. 

3 years later, in XXXX of XXXX, I get a collections letter in the mail. I immediately disputed this charge, and have gone through the painstaking steps of disputing this 3 times, and still no solution. This is a bogus debt, and now I am trying to build a house and this on my credit record is preventing us from getting it approved, not to mention financial damages in the form of mortgage insurance increases and a higher interest rate. I want this removed from my credit. I don't see how these phone companies can get away with this. It seems like anyone can ruin a persons credit with bogus claims. I think this is unacceptable. Thank you. Please see supporting documentation.

Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Application denied

Complaint:
I applied for a Capital One credit card and was denied. I called them to get an explanation of the reason for the denial. They could not say anything but the reason that was generated and makes no sense if you read it. " Based on your credit report from one or more of the agencies on the back of this letter, income is insufficient for amount of credit requested ''. This does not explain in reason why I was denied. A person 's credit report does not provide income information. Also it does not explain how much credit I was applying for. So how can they base a decision on information they don't know. I was told to reapply that is the only thing I could do and no explanation.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
I was married for 20 years and used a hyphen with my last name. Because computer systems don't accept hyphens, my name appeared in a multitude of inaccuracies on credit reports. I have been divorced for nine years and have returned to my maiden name. All open accounts are under my current name. Through the month of XXXX I have been on websites, made phone calls and sent proof of identification to all three major credit reporting agencies. The goal was to remove all names but the name I have held for the last nine year. Two attempts have been made to get credit cards under one of the inaccurate names. The credit reporting agencies are reluctant to remove names because of past credit attached to those names. However, some of those inaccurate names have no credit attached to them. My social security card has only ever had two names associated with it. For agencies that are supposed to protect us, they allow an awful lot of false information. One report had phone numbers associated with my account that I have never had or provided to the agencies. I have had one employer since 1982 and yet I had the Soc. Sec. Admin., a collision repair company and an individual listed on my report as employers. One agency told me that if a past creditor wants to make an inquiry under one of the former ( inaccurate ) names, that the inaccurate name can be added to the report again. And, as if that weren't bad enough, it would be up to me to contact each company making the inquiry to correct my name. No agency told me about opting out of such inquires. I found the opt-out information on General Summary of Rights Under the FCRA. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that it worked or helped in eliminating inaccurate information. I repeated my address about ten times and the best I could do was get XXXX XXXX from the system, when it really should have been XXXX XXXX XXXX. Unfortunately, no option to speak to a person was ever offered. My complaint is not necessarily with one company, it is more with the system that has allowed these companies to charge for services to prevent fraud and yet they assist with the commission of fraud by not doing their due diligence in making sure that inaccurate information in never allowed on a credit report. Aside from me spending one month every year correcting inaccurate information on my profile with each credit reporting agency, what other options do I have?
