Complaint sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

I had a checking account open with US Bank. I came inside for service. I had someone ask me if there was a way that I could help cash a check that was paid to him a concert he had participated in. The check was over XXXX dollars. When I say the amount I didnt believe it. I asked the teller inside if she knew if the check was fraudulent right away because I didnt believe the person who signed the check over to me exactly. At the time she looked at the check and said that she wouldnt know if it was fraud or real for a few days. I was very much on the side of things being fraudulent and I expressed to her that I didnt want to be a part of it if it was fraudulent. I expressed with deep regret that I believed it to be a bad check. She then asked me if I wanted XXXX dollars upfront that day. It was the most exhausting time. I felt obligated for some reason by two parties, and I didnt feel that US BANK cared about my account as a XXXX. I barely had income during that time. Her and I went back and forth about if I should take the XXXX dollars and wait for the check to clear. It was very discouraging. In the end I took the XXXX dollars and walked over to the ATM the US Bank Drive through where the man I knew was parked. I handed him all the money, XXXX dollars. I came back into the same location after a few letters in the mail about my account being closed and negative. I was very upset about the outcome and asked for the manager who was a woman. I was told that there was nothing the bank could do for me that my best option was to pay the negative balance and fee. I asked if we could call the police and the manager replied no the bank can not call the police or do anything for me and she asked me to leave the bank. I also was told that I used the ATM the day of the incident instead of coming inside the bank. That was not true. I left in tears that day.
Complaint sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

On XX/XX/20, my Cash App card was used 4 times in the middle of the night at a place called XXXX XXXX XXXX in Ohio. I live in Virginia and did not make these purchases, I did not give my card or info to anyone else to make these purchases either. Immediately after noticing, I cancelled the card and ordered a new one. I also followed CashApp 's dispute process and disputed each charge. They refunded 2 of the charges, but denied the other XXXX. 

XXXX. XX/XX/20 @ XXXX am {$99.00} - refunded.

Complaint sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

After viewing my credit report, I am not happy to see credit inquiries that I did not recognized. My personal information was impacted by Equifax data breach, someone has access to my credit and its ruining it.
Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

I sent a letter previously XXXX XX/XX/2021 XXXX, asking to reinvestigate the accounts being reported to my file but the bureaus never responded back. It has been over 60 days since then and I have not any response yet. I think I am being taken for granted, being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. 

Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. 

I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you 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: Information belongs to someone else

Problem with Equifax for allowing incorrect information to show on my credit report. According to FCRA section 609, when the consumer disputes an item and request for the original contract with my signature to be produced to me to prove the ownership of this fraudulent accounts. They have 30 days to produce and they do not produce contract with signatures, but allow these accounts to stay on my report. I have written and disputed this produce and no correction has happened.

1 ) XXXX XXXX  original creditor XXXX XXXX 2 ) XXXX XXXX original creditor XXXX XXXX 3 ) XXXX XXXX original creditor XXXX  XXXX I have not done any business with these companies. 
Thus I am requesting an original contract with my signature and date. If they can provide it these three accounts must be deleted.
Complaint sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

In XXXX 2015, my annual Income Based Repayment ( IBR ) recertification application was submitted/received by Fedloan Servicing, with a due date of XXXX 2015. Despite submitting my application, 2 weeks prior to the due date I began receiving emails stating that my application had not been received. After receiving each email, I called Fedloan ( on XXXX occasions ), to inquire about the status of my application and about the purpose of the email notifications. Each call, I was advised that my application was in fact " complete '' but just had n't been updated in the system. However, the day after the deadline, I was notified that my application was missing my husband 's signature and therefore was considered incomplete. I faxed my husband 's signature page that same day but, since at that point it was a day passed the due date, my interest was capitalized and {$11000.00} was consequently tagged onto my student loan balance. 

I submitted a written appeal, accepting my oversight, but also explaining that, prior to the due date, I was advised by XXXX representatives that my application was complete. Therefore, I had been misinformed at a point when there was still ample time for me to correct the error. I also explained that my husband had recently been XXXX and, around the time of submitting my application, we were informed that his XXXX was not working and therefore his life expectancy was less XXXX. I had forgotten to do many things during that time ( including obtaining my husband 's signature on my IBR application ), distracted by the possibility of losing my husband and the father of my XXXX small children. With my appeal, I submitted copies of my husband 's medical records, to verify his XXXX, and to justify my oversight. Apparently, that was not enough - it was not even enough to warrant a written response from Fedloan ; I ended following up several weeks later and was advised by a manager/representative over the phone that, " I 'm sorry about your husband but we are unable to reverse any of the {$11000.00} interest since your husband 's signature was not submitted before the due date. '' The manager attempted to console me by saying " it does n't matter, because you qualify for loan forgiveness, so you will not end up paying the entire balance anyway. '' For the record, I have XXXX more years XXXX before my loans can be forgiven. 

Sadly, I do n't think it was a coincidence that, despite the number of times I called to check my application status, I was not advised until XXXX day after the due that my application was missing my husband 's signature and therefore considered past due. And, considering the circumstances ( i.e. my XXXX ), this seems complete careless and insensitive on the part of Fedloan Servicing.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Dept Of EdXXXX XXXX has violated my rights.

Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Hello my name is XXXX XXXX. I received a copy of my credit report with the intention of trying to improve my credit and take care of my responsibilities and noticed a few accounts that I wanted a little more explanation on. I am not saying they are reporting right or wrong. I am just saying that I am not 100 percent sure if they are. I also read something called the Fair Credit Reporting Act where it said by law, I had rights to challenge anything I am not sure is accurate. Some of the people reporting things on me, I have never heard of which made me write to you all.

Are you familiar with something called 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i ( a )? I heard that if you cant provide proof, these accounts must be deleted. Well I want these accounts deleted if they are not 100 percent right and correct. So, could you please check on these and get back with me? I saw on a Credit Site and Board where this lawyer said you have 30 days to complete this investigation. Please investigate the following accounts and remove them if anything is missing or not correct on them.

Complaint sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

On or about XX/XX/2020 I contacted Lending Club and asked for assistance with my payment as I had recently incurred additional expenses and I need their help. They offered to reduce my payments for 2 months. I was concerned this would negatively affect my rating with them. The representative assisting me assured me there would not be a negative rating with them nor would it report late to the credit bureaus so long as I paid my modified payments on time. I authorized them to take a payment from my checking account on XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX. Approximately two weeks later I received a call from Lending Club advising me that due to a system error on their part, my payment on XX/XX/XXXX did not process. I asked them if this would reflect negatively on my account and they assured me it would not. I asked them to process the payment that day and again on XX/XX/XXXX. Approximately 1 week later, I received another call from them saying once again, due to a system error, my last payment did not process. But they were going to process two payments ( very inconvenient for me ) and they identified the problem on their end and it would not happen again. The rep repeatedly reassured me everything would be back dated and there would be no negative reporting to the bureaus. Despite their repeated reassurance that there wouldn't be any negative reporting, I received an alert from XXXX that my Lending Club account was now 30 days past due!! I have spent the last two weeks trying to get a Supervisor to call me so I can get this issue resolved, and no one has called me!

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

This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. 
I have a loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have always made my payments on time. Ive contacted the bank about the issue & they continue to fail to provide me with verifiable proof, XXXX and Equifax shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first XXXX digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information.

Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I have just pulled my credit report and noticed 6 Delinquent Closed collections from XXXX. I am sure you are aware of the provisions in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and I am requesting validation of this debt. I am requesting proof that I am indeed the party you are involved with this debt, and there is/was some contractual obligation which is binding on me to pay this debt. I have sent validation request letters to all 3 credit bureaus ( Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX ) via certified mail. 

Letter of sale or assignment from the original creditor to another company is reflected on my credit reports, however the balance amounts, origination dates, and payment delinquencies are not matching with the 3 major credit bureaus ( Equifax, XXXX or XXXX ). 

Although this account reads closed/ sold, it is unacceptable for this to remain on my credit report, as this reflects negatively on my credit rating. I have no proof this account is mine. 

I'm sure you know, under FDCPA Section 809 ( b ), you are not allowed to pursue collection activity until the debt is validated. You should be made aware that in TWYLA BOATLEY, Plaintiff, vs. DIEM CORPORATION, No. XXXX XXXX UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA, XXXX, the courts ruled that reporting a collection account indeed is considered collection activity. Why are pursuing collection activity on a paid account in the first place? This is definitely harassment and is a violation of the FDCPA under 15 USC 1962e : Be advised this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g stating your claim is disputed and validation is requested. 

This is NOT a request for " verification '' or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above-named Title and Section. I respectfully request your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to the debt. It should be read Paid as Agreed/ Closed or be completely REMOVED from my consumer reports. 

Invalidated information from any of the 3 major credit bureaus ( Equifax, XXXX or XXXX ) on my credit report may constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by XXXX or any representative is a violation of consumer rights. I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and Defamation of Character.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I have reached out to Equifax since XX/XX/2021. I have submitted my Identity Theft report 7 times and nothing has been updated on my report. I submitted disputes about inaccurate information on my report several times since XX/XX/2021, and nothing has changed. The credit bureau keeps stating the information was accurate. I submitted a debt validation letter requesting original contracts and proof they verified the information with these reporting agencies and companies and nothing has been sent but a letter saying they are accurate, but zero proof. My most recent letters were sent on XX/XX/2021, XX/XX/2021 and XX/XX/2021. I am aware they have 15 days from submission to provide proof of contracts and debt validation, and they have failed to do so. I have sent proof of address, as requested and addresses are still not updated on file either. I have called several times and nothing has taken place. This company has tried to delay and stall the process by asking me to resend verification documents of my identity. I have sent a copy of my US Passport, Social Security card and a current utility bill with every dispute.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

This is my second complaint with the CFPB about the collection agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX is not reporting correct or accurate information. They are reporting inconsistencies to all of the credit reporting agencies and are verifying inaccurate information. They also marked my previous disputes as frivolous to discourage me from disputing despite being provided proof of their lack of a proper investigation into the reporting. Attached are screenshots of the account they are reporting to the credit bureaus. They are reporting different open dates and balances but are verifying them as valid. How can information that doesnt match prove to be valid? XXXX  is reporting a {$0.00} balance and open date of XX/XX/2017 and the same account is reporting a balance of {$1100.00} and an open date of XX/XX/2017. How is this accurate and valid if the information is not the same for the same account? This is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This also shows a lack of proper investigation on the credit bureaus part as well. XXXX is creating a financial burden causing me to be denied credit due to their inaccurate, incomplete and inconsistent reporting to the credit bureaus.

I decided to pull my credit because every single time I would apply for a credit card I would get denied. To the best of my knowledge I have always paid my bills on time. So, I know for a fact that these things showing on my report do not belong to me. These accounts were fraudulently made without my consent. Please remove these accounts from my report as soon as possible.
