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

I have tried on numerous occasions to update my address with the creditor and dispute late payments reporting due to insufficient address. I spoke to a representative and on XX/XX/XXXX a dispute was put in but it failed to resolve my issue. On XX/XX/XXXX was the first dispute for not receiving bills. On XX/XX/XXXX the manager requested for all latest to be updated the two 30 day latest and one 60 day late and this was never done on my account. My account has been reporting wrong for over a year with a negative  impact to my credit.
Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit

This has been an ongoing problem with this company since XX/XX/XXXX when the company erroneously marked my account as delinquent. After 5 months of communication with the CSRs and two delinquent reports to the credit bureaus, the company finally corrected the issue and restored my account back to current along with correcting the reporting to the credit bureaus. However, after finally getting this fixed, I received a notice on XX/XX/XXXX that my account was suspended and decreased my credit line due to delinquency. We spoke with a CSR and a Supervisor ( XXXX ) and was told that it would take 3-5 business days to correct the situation. On XX/XX/XXXX, my card was declined ( suspended again ) and my account was reinstated as 82 days late. We spoke to XXXX again on XX/XX/XXXX and couldn't give us an explanation as to why my account went in reverse after 5 months of trying to get it resolved due to the company 's negligence. He told us that we have to wait some more until they figure it out. My credit has been affected tremendously by their actions, my life has been in limbo for the past ( almost ) 6 months of doing my due diligence to fix my account and credit standing. I never receive a callback and I get insincere scripted gestures and lied to about no adverse actions would be taken against my account. To no fault of my own ( and by the company 's own admission ) my account has been in turmoil and apparently no end in sight. I have been more than patient, heeded their direction to wait the magical 3-5 business days to resolve anything, to be met with more " wait and see '' answers. I initially wanted my credit line reinstated, however, at this point ( due to the company 's inaction and disingenuous actions ), I want my account canceled and the company can assume the remaining debt as a loss on their end. It is a small price to pay considering I have spent 5 months of my time on the phone, on email trying to resolve an issue that wasn't even my fault. My credit was destroyed and I have been in limbo as I waited for it to be restored, missing opportunities due to my perceived bad credit, and embarrassed in public when my card was declined during transactions.

Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX Acct # XXXX The CARES Act, which President Trump signed into law on XX/XX/2020, Act amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to stop adverse credit reporting during the COVID-19 crisis. I was current on my payments and called XXXX XXXX about being affected by the pandemic. 

I would like to dispute a late payment that has been reported to all XXXX credit bureaus for XX/XX/2020. XXXX XXXX reported my account late for the month of XX/XX/2020. 
I have learned that because Covid-19 affected my finances making it difficult to make my monthly obligations, and that Congress made Covid-19 a national emergency, the Cares Act called for creditors to adjust how they report accounts to the credit bureaus that have been modified. The law requires creditors to report any account that has a payment accommodation applied to it as current to all 3 credit bureaus - as long as the account was current when the accommodation was made, which my account had been current until Covid-19 hit. The CARES ACT states the creditor needs to report to the credit bureaus that you are current on your loan. XXXX XXXX did not report my account current XX/XX/2020 and because of this, has affected my credit reports and credit scores. 

I had never been late with a payment until Covid-19 hit in XX/XX/2020 and the lock down that was ordered by the Governor of Colorado XX/XX/2020 until XX/XX/2020 and I have been current since with my payments. 

I requested that XXXX XXXX apply a goodwill adjustment to remove the late payment from my file. I have continued to make on time payments to XXXX XXXX since XX/XX/2020.
Complaint sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

On XX/XX/2022, I went to XXXX XXXX  located in XXXX XXXX to obtain a personal loan. The first thing they had me do is sign a piece of paper stating that they were allowed to run my credit. After the lady was taking my financial information we realized because of my lack of income that I would not qualify for a loan. Because of this we both agreed that it would be best if I tried to have my wife cosign on the loan. After speaking with my wife she stated that she did not want to go through with that. I received several calls from the company but I never answered. We had decided that we would not go through with a loan. After the company did not get a hold of me they still proceeded to run my credit check on XX/XX/XXXX several days after I left the office. When I went up there to ask why they did that they said they had already ran my credit that day. So I asked her if she ran my credit before I gave her all my information in which the obvious answer was no. Her statements were obviously false because when I left the office the lady and I both agreed that I would be denied. So why would they run my credit knowing that it was going to be denied? I have a video of the conversation with the woman that ran my credit which I can provide. If someone was to investigate this I'm sure they would find that that's her job to run credit checks. I feel this is dishonest, unfair, and quite frankly a waste of eveyone 's time because as we had both agreed with no income my credit would be denied. So why would they run my credit anyways? I would like an investigation into the matter. I would also like for them to reverse any damage they have done to my credit do to an unauthorized credit check. These companies should not be allowed to do things like this. I know I signed a piece of paper but as I stated earlier we both agree that I could not qualify for a loan without any income. Also to run my credit days after I come into the office because they could not contact me by phone is fraud. For them to have a customer sign a paper for a credit check first before they even gather information about the finances of the individual is a scam so they can get away with things like this.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

As a XXXX citizen, I am requesting that {$1000.00} that was fraudulently XXXX XXXX XXXX from my account. US Bank is aware of how customer 's accounts are being compromise. I filed a complaint on XX/XX/2022 pertaining to US Bank. I will continue to file complaints until I receive the {$1000.00}. I will file a class action law, so other seniors and US Bank customers can join in the lawsuit. 

Again, XX/XX/2022, I received a call from US Bank per my caller ID. The caller stated my account was compromised and {$3000.00} was stolen from my account. In order to received the funds back, the caller stated that I had to XXXX ' the money back to a certain person per instruction from the " US Bank '' employee. I XXXX ' {$1000.00} and when I noticed that the money was not going back to my account I hung up and called US Bank. Immediately, I filed a dispute. Subsequently, I was denied several times. 

When researching scams and fraud, I noticed the below statement on US Bank website. The paragraph from their website is the exact scenario that occurred to me. Again, I must say that US Bank is aware that their customers are being " ripoff. '' The paragraph below is my proof. I am requesting the {$1000.00} that was " XXXX '' from my account. 

XXXX XXXX are fraudsters who reach out to you by phone instead of email. Theyre after the same thing as phishers your confidential banking information. Fraudsters can spoof caller ID to make it look like a call is actually originating from U.S. Bank. So how can you tell whether a caller is the real deal? 

Its simple. U.S. Bank will never call you and ask you for your account numbers, Personal Identification Numbers ( PINS ), or any confidential information. Do not provide any confidential information over the phone unless you initiated the phone call. Hang up and call U.S. Bank at XXXX if you suspect fraud. Call XXXX ( XXXX ) for all other customer service concerns.
Complaint sub-issue: Collected or attempted to collect exempt funds

I tried contacting True Accord after receiving a letter in the mail in an attempt to collect a debt in which I sent an email as one of the methods indicated for the dispute in regards to dealing with a third-party app named XXXX not working on my behalf to deal with a fraudulent merchant that they sponsored on their website. The email was sent on XX/XX/XXXX, and they have yet to respond to my dispute nor acknowledge that they received my dispute. A week following I sent a follow-up email which they also have not responded to. The amount requested is {$760.00} which I deny and do not accept as a charge being that the merchant whom I purchased from was not as described and was not up to the company 's promise or standards. 

A quick background on the debt : I made a purchase in XXXX of XXXX and have dealt with negligence from the merchant from the very beginning. I have called and been strung along, emailed over and over, and even contacted XXXX, the third-party payment app to contact the merchant as well. XXXX denied after several attempts to handle the situation or contact the merchant after getting no response from them either. XXXX began to get very upset with me for contacting my original payment card used to dispute the charge due to fraud and mislabeling from the merchant on top of negligence and stopped offering to help me. After months of requesting a refund and offering to return the item for my funds to be returned, the company changed their refund policy online and I was not able to retrieve my funds due to this being a new term they added after my purchase and after my complaints. XXXX also has deleted my warnings and reviews from their online websites and social media accounts and only keeps positive reviews. I have reported the merchant to the XXXX  and I was informing XXXX of this negligence and constant fraudulent behavior constantly and even requested that they would remove this merchant from their app as a form of punishment. Instead of helping me as a consumer, XXXX wanted to keep the merchant happy and was instead asking me to handle the situation on my own after months of no response and being at a standstill they have reported my debt to True Accord who are requesting for me to pay them the full amount before XX/XX/XXXX.
