I am helping a family with a home loan and the lender that we are working with ran my credit report. The next day ( This morning ) i have received over XXXX unsolicited calls from various lenders. XXXX of them told me that XXXX shared this info as I ran my credit yesterday. I did not authorize anyone to contact me and this harassment continues as I am getting non-stop calls. This needs to stop immediately. These credit reporting agencies have no business sharing my cell phone and contact info with lenders without my explicit permission.

Issue: Managing an account — Cashing a check
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (PA)

XXXX XXXX, 3 checks were stolen from the post office. XX/XX/2022, one check was washed. The check was for a credit card payment. The payee name was changed to an individual and cashed. XX/XX/2022 another check was washed and cashed. Both the payee and the amount were changed which put the checking account into overdraft leaving my account balance of almost a minus {$1000.00}. When Wells Fargo notified us by mail that we were in overdraft and lost almost {$8000.00} in funds, the account was closed before the third check could be cashed. An affidavit was filed with the bank, a report was filed with XXXX police and the post office was notified. Wells Fargo stated that it would take 10 days to resolve the issue. The bank has confirmed that fraud took place but as of today has not refunded the money or offered provisional credit. Wells Fargo now states that it could take 120 days to make a decision with no guarantee of refund. This information is nowhere to be found in any literature given for this type of account. I have complied with every request from Wells Fargo with no result. From the little research done I have found that Wells Fargo is treating thousands of their customers in the same way in hopes that they give up on trying to get money that is insured back to accounts held at the Wells Fargo. Please help as I have no other recourse at this time. Any suggestions that could assist in the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

This is so annoying & frustrating. Ive sent EXPERIAN multiple letters that Im the one whos disputing the items that are UNKNOWN to me. In Experians responses that make the claim that have not initiated any disputes on my behalf due to the fraudulent or high risk nature, and the documents I provided have either been confirmed as fraudulent or deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. This is a complete joke. How in the world did they verify these claims? First of all, I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, I never sent my documentation to anyone else as it deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. Also, according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information.

( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency.

Again, under FCRA 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.

I initially placed an order with Women Within catalog back in XXXX of 2022. The item was too small and was returned via their return slip in the package and taken to the post office. I received a notification the item was received by the company and requested an exchange for a larger item. I was billed for the product that was returned after the fact and then also issue a credit for the item which I could not use because the company stated that they were not familiar with the gift card that was sent to me via their company. The second item came and I was totally dissatisfied with the way the company handled the first order and I decided to return the second order which I returned via happy returns which is a company that apparently Woman Within uses. I have receipts to show for both returns as well as other communications via email but I am continuing to get billed for these items and now have been put in all three collections agencies for a total that does not even add up to what the initial items cost. I am so disappointed with this agency which is XXXX Bank. Upon looking at credit ratings for an amount not compliant with their billing statements. It was after the fact I noticed that this company has very poor ratings which seem that all customers have the same issue that I am having they are being billed for items that have either been returned and or reported to a credit bureau I would like to expose this company for false practices and also the fact that they are unwilling to solve the issue.

I keep receiving Invitations for my deceased husband to apply for a XXXX credit card. The company 's XXXX service is being supplied my late husband 's credit information from XXXX and Experian. I reported my husband 's death and sent confirmation in 2021 not only to XXXX when closing his account, but also to the XXXX main credit-reporting buraus. I also placed a permanent freeze on his credit bureau accounts, so why do I continue receiving offers in the mail? Does a credit freeze and death notification mean anything these days? This has to stop, and these companies must be penalized. These nefarious practices from which they profit lead to credit fraud and ID theft.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
