Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

Good afternoon, I have applied for a mortgage and rate shopped with three lenders. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, shopping around for a mortgage will not have a negative affect on my credit score as it is considered 1 inquiry as long as it is done in a 45 day window. My credit score has dropped on all 3 of my credit checks for mortgages. I called all 3 credit bureaus and was told that that only applied if it was the same mortgage company. One tech even hung up on me. I even quoted the information on the CFPB website and was told that was incorrect. I am not able to dispute or have them correct the information so that it won't affect my score 3 times. 

The inquiries are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Removal date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX  Inquiry date : XXXX XXXX, XXXX Removal date : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Inquiry date : XXXX XXXX, XXXX Removal date : XXXX XXXX, XXXX

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: Klarna AB (AZ)

I initiated a purchase with the merchant XXXX on XX/XX/2022 with a Buy Now Pay Later servicer called Klarna. Through the Klarna service I created a one-time card for {$560.00} and the credit card I used to split the payments was charged {$160.00}. The merchant charged {$560.00} as an authorization until the items shipped. On XX/XX/2022 part of the order shipped and the card was then charged {$320.00} and was delivered on XX/XX/2022. The other half of the order was cancelled on XX/XX/2022 by the merchant and released the authorization hold for {$230.00}. I initiated a return with the merchant to ship back the part of the order I did receive and was issued a refund in the amount of {$300.00}. Also the balance on the Klarnas end should only be {$22.00} since the merchant confirmed the refund and authorization release. I have reached out to Klarna numerous times and they have refused to assist me, even after providing proof that the merchant did not charge the card and released the funds. This is clearly abuse on Klarnas part as they have made no effort to review their systems and correct the error. The merchant has been more than helpful in providing proof that they have indeed refunded and released the authorization hold. 

Klarna is attempting to steal money from me by not acknowledging the authorization hold release and providing me a refund to the credit card I used to split my payments with their service.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NY)

In regards to the attached transactions on my citibank account, citibank has FAILED to refund my money or offered any assistance as to the proper way to get my money back. 

I expected to receive an all-inclusive 4-night stay at XXXX XXXX XXXX for two adults, complete with roundtrip airfare from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX airport and XXXX Airport. The expected date of service was Monday XX/XX/2020 to Thursday XXXX XXXX.

This letter also states that in order to receive reimbursement for the charge processed with XXXX you need to call and work with your bank DIRECTLY. 

XX/XX/XXXX. 2020, I made several attempts to reach XXXX by calling their customer service line +XXXX XXXX which was deemed invalid. No calls were being taken, the phone line had been disconnected. I also tried calling their Guest Services at XXXX XXXX which was also disconnected. 

On XXXX XXXX, around XXXX, I received an email from XXXX stating that THEY had gone ahead and cancelled my trip. They specifically stated Your resort reservation will be cancelled automatically. All cancellation fees have been waived. You will need to speak to your credit cards issuing bank for your options as a cardholder. 

On Monday XX/XX/2020 I checked my XXXX   itinerary and noticed cancellation refund popped up for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I chatted with Citibank to verify if there were any refunds from XXXX on my account. I was told to wait 4-5 business days to see any changes. On XX/XX/XXXX, I checked my account and NO refunds had been given. 

I have made several dispute claims since with Citibank regarding the charges made by XXXX. No services were rendered, and the cancellation of my trip by XXXX means that no services will be rendered. 
At no point in the process did I, the customer, request to cancel the trip or any portion of it. 
Citibank has completely FAILED to refund my money or offered any assistance in the matter. At this point in time, I have sent Citibank 3 letters, as well as multiple pieces of documentation, proving that XXXX cancelled my vacation and stole my money. I never went on vacation! SERVICES WERE NOT RENDERED! I do not know how many times I have to explain the situation to citibank in order for them to understand that the services I paid for were not rendered, therefore I am owed all of my money back.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I am a Federally protected Consumer. I am initiating this complaint in order to address the unfair, impartial, and inequitable behavior of the consumer reporting agency XXXX in regards to a recent Fraud Alert which was added to my consumer credit profile without my expressed written instruction, consent, or authorization. After providing specific written instructions pursuant to [ 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) ] regarding what personal identifiable information was authorized to be furnished on my consumer credit report, an agent, authorized representative, or employee of XXXX elected to place a Fraud Alert on my account, and subsequently notified XXXX, and EQUIFAX that a Fraud Alert was requested by the consumer. IT IS A FACT THAT I DID NOT AUTHORIZE A FRAUD ALERT to be placed on the account and I DID NOT PROVIDE ANY PERSONAL STATEMENT regarding a Fraud Alert to be added by XXXX or any other credit reporting agency. XXXX as a repeat offender and violator of the FCRA, continues to habitually demonstrate its disregard and lack of respect of my rights as a consumer by deliberately and willfully failing to comply with its obligations under the FCRA. I have attempted multiple times to address this issue by directly calling the XXXX Fraud Department, however each attempt has been unsuccessful. XXXX as a consumer reporting agency governed by the FCRA has no authority under Federal Law to willfully and deliberately ignore the specific written instructions of the consumer made pursuant to [ 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) ] regarding what personal identifiable information is authorized to be furnished. XXXX is once again willfully and deliberately reporting INACCURATE INFORMATION on my consumer credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act by failing to furnish information in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer. It is hereby required under Federal Law that this agency immediately remove or delete the unauthorized Fraud Alert and the Unauthorized Personal Statement pertaining to the Fraud Alert.
