Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

A utility account with XXXX XXXX has been fraudulently created using my name and information. I didn't authorize this account nor did I have knowledge of this account when it was opened. Immediately after learning about this fraudulent account I contacted the company directly for them to close the account and deal with the situation. They have not handled the situation. I am demanding that the company dispose of this account and remove my information from their system as well as remove this account from my credit report immediately. This is not fair and is tarnishing my good name and I will not stand for it.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Last month, I changed my bank account on my Elan Financial Services credit card. I have had autopay setup for a year or more and simply changed the account associated with the autopay . Elan skipped  my autopay on  XXXX , and I reached out to correct them on  XXXX  and they refused, despite it being their error. I repeatedly asked them to correct the autopay error, most recently today, and they refuse.
Complaint sub-issue: Public record

I was not notified of a change in my mortgage amount to increase the escrow balance. I did not receive an answer to my email when I enquired why the on line amount for my mortgage due had changed. I never received any written notification that my mortgage had changed. So because on line info is often slow to correct, I ignored it for XX/XX/XXXX and paid my normal mortgage amount. When my online statement showed an even greater balance due in XX/XX/XXXX, I called the bank, found out the error, and paid the difference owed. They did not inform me at that time that my previous mortgage payment was applied to principle, not credited as a mortgage payment so I remained delinquent even though I paid the amount owed. That was reported to the credit bureau because they do not record partial payments of mortgage payments that are more or less than the exact amount. So for three months, I did not know about the error, and did not correct it until a collection agency called in XX/XX/XXXX to collect my XX/XX/XXXX mortgage payment. I was able to correct it all with the bank but they would not change the report to the credit bureaus because they said it was my error. 

You can see on my banking statements that I paid {$1400.00}. to my mortgage account XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, then {$70.00} extra in XX/XX/XXXX and the rest of the balance due of {$1600.00} to cover the difference between {$1400.00} and {$1500.00}. the XX/XX/XXXX partial payment went in as reduction in principle and when I paid the extra amount owed, no one told me it did not fulfill my p=mortgage payment for XX/XX/XXXX so that delinquency remained on my account and was reported to the credit bureau. All finance charges were reversed, and XXXX acknowledged never answering my email inquiries or sending me notification of the mortgage payment change. They said it is my responsibility to find out about changes and prevent partial payments.

Complaint sub-issue: Termination fees or other problem when ending the lease early

I held a lease with Audi Financial XXXX VW Credit and the lease was cut short six months early because of a vehicle accident in which the XXXX XXXX was totaled. Instead of acting fairly with me in the event of this accident, the company did not offer me to get a vehicle swap after the accident ( despite that being part of my lease ), nor did it give back a car payment made one day before the accident date at a prorated amount. It kept the entire payment on the grounds that it was my contractual obligation to pay them even without use of the car. The company offered no legal reason for keeping that car payment. It also kept more than {$10000.00} in overage fees paid by my insurance carrier, despite a clause in the vehicle lease that states I would be entitled to the overage payment in the event of a total loss. The company said they are the owners of the car and therefore get to benefit from any overage, so they in essence profited from my accident. The company 's own salespeople were shocked by this treatment. 

In addition, the company said that it could not take my bank off its autopayment service, so I would have to keep making payments for the car even though it was paid off in full for the car by my insurance carrier. Instead, it referred me to its web site to stop the autopayment function. Yet it's web site did not work and there was no way to unhook from its financial autopayments on the site. A woman at Audi Financial said she would mail me a form to get off autopayment and that form took two weeks to arrive ( past the date of the next scheduled payment for a car I no longer used ), so the company is doing everything in its power to keep cashing checks instead of looking out for its customers. When I asked for a number to complain to the company, a representative gave me a special number. When I called, there was a XXXX hour wait to reach a human.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

My issue is with XXXX  incorrectly reporting to the 3 credit bureaus that I have missed up to 9 payments. Then when I call and speak with them, ( 57 times in the last 8 months ) they tell me they have not reported anything. I have paperwork from XXXX proving that I have not missed ANY payments, yet they are reporting that I've missed up to 9 payments. This has caused me to receive multiple rejection letters that explicitly list the XXXX missed payments as the reason for denial of credit. The last time I spoke with XXXX  they told me after all this time that I'm supposed to mail them a special form, that I can only get from them, in order for them to do what is REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW. I am still waiting on that " special form '' to be e-mailed to me. Over a week now.
Complaint sub-issue: Problem getting a working replacement card

Applied U.S. Bank Platinum Visa Card on XXXX after receiving a pre-approval in the mail. Received mixed messages online after submitting my application about whether I was approved. On one hand I got the auto-confirmation that line of credit was granted and that I'd be receiving my card in 4 business days. On the other hand I got an email saying their decision will be mailed to me in 10 business days. I called twice on XXXX to ask for an expedited card, clarification whether my application was accepted or not, and a credit limit increase since the initial amount was low. I didn't receive clarification from either phone call and was verbally rejected for an expediated card and limit increase. I didn't receive card for 3 weeks with no explanation. I called their number on XXXX twice, first time to request an expedited card, second time a few hours later to make sure the the first call rep did anything because at this point the bank and this credit card process has been incompetent. If I hadn't heard of U.S. Bank before I thought I was in the middle of a identify-theft scam. 3 reps over 2 calls on XXXX assure me I'll be receiving the card on XXXX and that I may call on XXXX for the tracking number. I call twice on XXXX for the tracking number and both reps don't have a tracking number for me and inform me that the replacement card hasn't been shipped yet. I called again on XXXX and there's still no tracking number or indication that a card has been sent. My conclusion is that the bank is giving me the run-around and refusing to provide the card so that I may not use their service. It's hard to believe this is just incompetence.

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

Dispute with Ally bank XX/XX/XXXX : I got emails saying that my debit card was added to a digital wallet. I immediately opened the bank app and I saw 4 withdrawals of {$500.00} each made from XXXX XXXX. At the time I was in XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The transactions were marked Pending I immediately called the bank. Told them that these XXXX transactions were not made by me. They said that they will cancel the transactions, deactivate my debit card and send me a new card. 

The pending transactions disappeared from my account. 

XX/XX/XXXX : I came back to XXXX, saw that I received the new card and did not activate it. 

I opened the Ally bank app and saw that the XXXX transactions that were canceled on XX/XX/XXXX came back on XX/XX/XXXX and this time they were not pending. The money was withdrawn from my account I called the bank again. They said I can file a dispute. I filed a dispute. 

A few weeks later they put credit in my account of 4 times {$500.00}. The value of the missing money XX/XX/XXXX : I was checking the Ally bank App and I saw that the money was taken out again. XXXX transactions of {$500.00} each I called again. They told me that the dispute team came back and decided that the transactions were legitimate because they presented the physical card. 

This is impossible because at the time of the transaction I was out of the country with my card in my possession. I made an ATM withdrawal using the card in XXXX XXXX a few days earlier ( XX/XX/XXXX ). I was in XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. 

I have screenshots of all the material. My airplane ticket, my passport stamps. Screenshots of the transaction i made in XXXX which show that i had the card on me. I have not been to XXXX XXXX in years. 

I tried to cancel these fraudulent transactions immediately as they happened but Ally made mistakes. They allowed them to execute 2 weeks later on a deactivated card. And their investigation came to the wrong results. No one could have presented my physical card in XXXX XXXX since i had it on me thousands of miles away
