Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Ally to make my XX/XX/XXXX payment, I initially attempted to make the payment by phone but I ended up speaking with a customer representative, I gave authorization to make the XXXX payment with her, at the end of our convo she asked if I wanted the confirmation #, I was not where I could take it down so I said no. On or around XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Ally stating they were making a negative entry to my credit report. I called Ally and spoke with a Rep that said she didn't see any notes regarding a convo on XX/XX/XXXX, I told her that if the company pulled the recording of the conversation using my phone # they could hear that I authorized payment but the rep didn't post it, the payment authorized on XX/XX/XXXX didnt post, she said she'd investigate and get back to me, on around XX/XX/XXXX, I called back, got another rep who said he didn't see anything about an investigation but he'd set it up and at this time I made the payment that was due XX/XX/XXXX, I also inquired about Ally correcting my credit report since the rep didn't post the authorized payment and he said he'd ask supervisors if it can be corrected. Sometime in early XXXX, I received a call from Ally Corporate relations, I forgot the name of the representative and told my story again, he too said he'd check with management about correcting my credit report. I reached out to him few weeks later and he told me that nothing he could do the report was correct. I have disputed twice with the credit bureau and they sent a letter saying the 30 day late stands the account is being reported correctly. All I am asking Ally to do is review the conversation I had with the rep on XX/XX/XXXX, verify why she didn't post the payment, and correct the report because if the rep had applied payment on the XX/XX/XXXX the account would not be 30 days on XX/XX/XXXX and my report would not have been impacted.
Complaint sub-issue: Trouble getting, activating, or registering a card

XXXX - Comerica Bank I have a card through this company where my funds are supposed to be deposited each month. My card was not working so I called to find out what the issue was. The online voice stated I ordered a new card on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and should receive this in 5-10 days. I however did not order a new card, the card I have does not expire until XXXX and I currently have no idea where my money is, where this new card is, and I can not get ahold of anyone to speak with even though the website states I can speak to someone 24/7. When calling it says all representatives are busy and then disconnects. At this point I do not know how to correct my issue so my niece was helpful with filing this complaint.

Complaint sub-issue: Application denied

I am a man/natural person and this is not a credit repair company. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was discriminated against as I exercised my right as the consumer/benificiary in a consumer credit transaction when I applied for a credit card with DISCOVER which is a violation of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. My personal information was used on the application as well as my location information to submit application. From my understanding, banks do not lend money or extend credit as we have been bankrupt since XXXX. 12 usc 83 - No national bank shall make any loan or discount on the security of the shares of its own capital stock. DISCOVER became trustee to my social security trust as this is a trust action. They deprived me of my rights to extend credit which is a violation of 18 usc 242. They have committed trust fraud, bank fraud, and securities fraud. Each holding a fine from {>= $1,000,000} to {>= $1,000,000} Pursuant to 15 USC 1, 15 USC 2, 15 USC 78ff. I received no benefit which is unauthorized use of my credit card 15 USC 1602 ( p ). In order to clarify that there has not been any false claims of securities, illegal securitizations, trades, hypothecating, interest, and proceeds fraud entry misapplied in my name, as benificiary of the account Pursuant to 15 USC 44 Im asserting my rights to acquire documentary evidence for the books of account as defined in IRS 583. Id like to access record keeping of both journal and ledger credits of the account, as well as ledger and debits of the account, in order to verify the current accounting and taxes related to this account. This will allow me to reaffirm my status as the benificiary and you in fact have been loaned the amount in question. This will also confirm aggravated identity theft as you are conspiring to profit without my knowledge or benefit when you are trustee to my trust. Failure to produce said documents will be deprivation of rights as described before and {$10000.00} and/or 5yrs in prison for any. You have committed theft by deception and embezzlement both federal crimes. 18 usc 656- theft by embezzlement by bank officer or employee shall be fined {>= $1,000,000} or imprisoned not more than 30yrs. I would like this published for the public to see how corporations defraud consumers by the millions.
Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

I placed an order through XXXX ( XXXX # XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX for a total amount of {$7200.00} paid by my Discover card ending in XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the seller ( XXXX ) to cancel the order since it was sent to another address. The seller gave me excuses about different tracking # 's as to why it was sent somewhere else & I agreed to continue with the order. He then told me he was having trouble sending it & wanted me to place a duplicate order. On XX/XX/XXXX I advised him to stop the shipment & cancel my order. I never received the order & I've sent multiple forms of proof to Discover Card. They did not accept this & they are now billing me for product I never received. I just received my bill & it now shows two transactions in the same amount from XXXX. it also shows that XXXX did refund the total amount for {$7200.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. Discover billed me erroneously for 2 transactions & every time I contacted them to dispute this, they turned down my evidence. Today @ XXXXXXXX XXXX I made a last attempt to call them to resolve & reverse this erroneous charge with no resolution. I am attaching the canceled shipment by XXXX, the statements from the vendor who says he refunded me as well the proof that XXXX refunded me on XX/XX/2022.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

In XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax began reporting accounts on my consumer report without my written consent. For over 6 months I have been submitting my request for the accounts below to be removed from my report but Equifax continues to ignore my request : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( in which collection Bureau XXXX XXXX sent a request on XX/XX/XXXX to have this account removed from my report but Equifax continues to say the company certified its accuracy ), Diversified Adjustments, XXXX, & XXXX which was just recently inserted back into my report after it was deleted.
Complaint sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

We were looking for ticket for an upcoming concert and found a post on XXXX that offered two tickets. We reached out to the seller and negotiated a price of {$75.00} for 2 tickets. The seller then said they had a 3rd ticket they also need to get rid of and we negotiated a third ticket for {$50.00}. Two transactions were process using my Visa Debit card through a service offered by XXXX called XXXX XXXX. Both transactions were on XX/XX/19. 
The first transaction was for {$150.00} and the second transaction was for {$50.00}. A few hours later when I had not yet received my tickets, I reached out to the seller who claimed my payment did not go through. When they were insistent that I send them another {$200.00}, I was starting to sense something fraudulent was occurring. I refused to send the transaction again and sent the seller a confirmation from the first transaction. After my third attempt to contact the seller via XXXX, they blocked me from further communication. I then ( same day ) reached out to XXXX. XXXX   informed me that the transaction could not be canceled and to reach out to my issuing bank, U.S. Bank. I filed a dispute with U.S. Bank and was initially provided with provisional credit. However, after investigation, U.S. Bank debit my account for the full {$200.00} siting that the merchant ( XXXX ) had performed their required service of transferring the money to the seller and did not have any responsibility for the fact that I never received the tickets. U.S. Bank is saying this is also not their liability because although I used my Visa card for the zero liability protection provided by Visa, this particular type of transaction is a money transfer transaction and according to U.S. Bank, is not protected under Visa 's zero liability policy. U.S. Bank is also stating that while consumers are protected by the Fair Credit Billing Act, this particular type of transaction through XXXX  is not covered by that protection as XXXX was acting as a money transmitter, not as a merchant performing a merchant function. In researching and reading through the Fair Credit Billing Act, I disagree with U.S. Bank 's position that this type of transaction is exempt. I was not sending money to a third party, I was purchasing tickets. This was not a cash advance, this was processed on my Visa card like a standard merchant transaction and I expect to receive the protections covered like any other purchase of goods or services.
Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

XXXX XXXX is reporting on my credit for a debt that is not mine. IT shows its from 2012, which is old and past the statute of limitations also. 
I have never received anything from this company, they just posted to my credit. By laws they are supposed to notify me. This debt is erroneous and not mine! 
I have disputed it with the bureaus and they have done nothing.

Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

My federal loans were paid off on XX/XX/2017 after refinancing with a private lender. Due to the timing of the refinancing process, my federal loans were overpaid by {$920.00} because I kept making payments during the refinancing process. I was sent a letter from FedLoan Servicing indicating that my loans were considered paid in full on X/X/17. It has now been sixty days, and I still have not received a refund of {$920.00} overpayment. I have not received any correspondence from the FedLoan Servicing addressing this issue. I have contacted FedLoan Servicing through their preferred contact procedure ( email ) and have yet to receive anything other than an automated response that my inquiry was received. They have removed my account access to view my bill history. Further, despite acknowledgement from FedLoan Servicing that my account was paid in full, my own account still reflects that my loans are in " repayment status '' and lists upcoming direct debits on my account for XXXX XXXX, 2017 on loans which show negative balances owed to me.

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

I have submitted two disputes regarding the same item on my credit report. Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX- Alleged Account Balance : {$4000.00}. Both investigations failed to provide verification as I requested per my legal rights to do so, with the final investigation results being provided today. I have no knowledge of this account or debt. Research indicates the agency is a property management company, yet the debt is clearly listed as a XXXX   debt on my credit report. This is ILLEGAL to make misrepresentation in order to list items on a credit report!! I have submitted disputes outlining this error, lack of knowledge of this debt or whom it belongs to. Equifax claims it belongs to me, but provides no verification in the form of any such contract indicating I owe any funds to this entity. Under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA CRA 's are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. If this has been verified, I want the name of the person providing the verification as well as their contact information and a copy of any evidence or contract with my signature as this does not exist. I am a victim of fraud and Equifax is not protecting me according to my legal rights as a consumer. I fully intend to seek damages through legal counsel if Equifax does not rectify this issue by deleting this damaging item from my report immediately. The law is very clear as to civil liability and the legal remedies available to me. This is most likely a result of Equifax 's use of automated software ( XXXX ),  which has incorrectly tied me to this debt or item on my credit report.

Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

XX/XX/19 : Paid XXXX XXXX what should have been my final bill but still received a subsequent bill.

XX/XX/19 : Switched from XXXX  XXXX to new service.

XX/XX/19 : Returned all XXXX equipment to them.

XX/XX/19 : Received final XXXX Bill. Called immediately to dispute charges but was unable to get immediate assistance.

XX/XX/19: Took the day off from work and was finally able to reach a representative who explained the bill. Still didn't agree with the explanation but we could not come to an amicable agreement. I explained that my contract buyout was in process and that I would pay the bill by XX/XX/2019.

XX/XX/19 : Received email notice from MRS BPO , LLC, XXXX had assigned them the account. MRS BPO provided 2 payment options. I opted to make 2 payments of {$220.00} due XX/XX/19 and XX/XX/19. I made my first payment XX/XX/19.

XX/XX/19 : Called MRS BPO to clarify payment agreement because I received a notice which stated the option I chose would not pay the bill in full. Representative said the option had expired on XX/XX/19 but there is nothing in their records that shows this and the rep agreed to accept the final payment. She assured me that my bill would be paid in full and accepted my credit card payment by phone. 15 minutes later I receive notification that she placed the account on my Credit Record. It dropped my credit score by 54 points. I am in the process of buying my retirement home and this can either impact my interest rate or lead to me being denied for a mortgage all together.
Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

This is my 2nd request with the CFPB. 

On XXXX I sent a letter to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  regarding inaccurate and negative information on my credit report. 

It has currently been 37 days and I have yet to receive a response. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. 

Section 611 ( a ) plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report.

It has been over 37 days so they be deleted promptly.

I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you have caused me.

My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.
Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

We paid for an appliance repair facility nearby to repair an appliance. They refused to provide the service after visiting to diagnose the problem, so we disputed the {$160.00} charge with our credit card. This transaction fully complied with the Fair Credit Billing Act dispute rules. 

After entering the dispute, Fidelity Cardmember Services sent us a letter that included a form requesting nearly all of the information already provided to them in writing when we filed the dispute. The letter stated that if we did not complete the form, they would continue the dispute using the information we had provided them to date. Since we provided all of the relevant information, we did not respond to the letter. 

A few weeks later we received another letter stating that because we did not respond to the previous letter, they were closing the dispute and taking no further action. This was in contrast to what the previous letter stated. 

Fidelity Cardmember Services violated the FCBA and misrepresented how they would handle the dispute.
