Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CT)

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 
The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper.

I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Company: Aargon Agency, Inc. (NV)

I recently opened a complaint for fraud with Aaragon Agency reporting fraudulent collections in my name. Their poor service efforts included simply taking " their client 's '' provision of what they wanted to be true as fact.

Aargon is reporting a debt that is not valid because the contract is not valid and it is fraudulent of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to try and assert it as so and send my name to collections. 

The terms of the contract are very clear- the club would provide a facility that was safe and accessible to all patrons and mindful of giving all health conditions priority. As someone who has a genetic marker that makes me immunocompromised- the fact that the gym refused to enforce a mask policy did not keep to presenting a club I could function in. 

Moreover, the club was CLOSED for multiple months during COVID! When I asked when it would be open again they simply said we would " wait and see ''. I told them I needed to cancel due to the health condition I brought up in the initial meeting when I enrolled and when they ASSURED ME I would have my needs met and the policy enforced and they refused. 

They broke their own word and legal contract multiple times, this has no bearing.

My email & other crucial personal information was found on the list of consumers who have been in Experians database for YEARS, which was hacked/breached.

My issue : HOW CAN I BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THE DEBTS LISTED ON CREDIT FILE WHEN A TRUSTED U.S CREDIT BUREAU/REPORTING AGENCY 'S SECURITY SYSTEM SEVERELY FAILED TO PROTECT MY PERSONAL INFORMATION TO HACKERS? WHY IS THIS AGENCY TRUSTED TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT MY CREDIT, SLAP A NEGATIVE " SCORE '' ON MY FILE WHICH DICTATES THE REST OF MY LIFE ( getting decent rates for car insurance ; renting a place to live ; buying a home ; getting a credit car ; getting a cell phone contract for service, etc ).

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

Wells Fargo bank is compromising my privacy preference and refusing to direct their mail to my mailing address which is a po box XXXX as I indicated on my Wells Fargo account profile. 
all the Wells Fargo answers I received regarding this issue are misleading and excuses that are not related to this problem. 
1- For more than Two years and more than Fifty complaints now I am trying to fix this issue with Wells Fargo that does not indicate any existence. it is like talking to walls. 
Today also I received a letter from Wells Fargo regarding my account to my physical address. 
The Wells Fargo employee 's policy seems to be that lies will wash the problems. 
The more lies those employees are doing the deeper the problem is getting. 
Wells Fargo has no managers on duty, the executive employees are working from the comfort of their homes doing whatever they please with the customer 's account without any regard to the laws and regulations and without any regard to customer privacy preferences. 
This bank has no website or email contact for complaints ; this is why most of their customers come here to complain. 
Even the Wells Fargo employees who answer to the complaints here do not tell the truth and do not try to find a solution, they only answer by misleading statements. 
2- every time we sign into our Wells Fargo account, we face a large pop up that covers the whole page it is destructive and annoying and waste of time and tricky if you click on the page you will be switched automatically to paperless statement, it is difficult to find a way to close it and more difficult to get rid of it even after more than 6 months and more than 20 of complaints this issue has not been solved. 
Wells Fargo 's employees seem to be working without any supervision and the bank is running without good management. A good management for sure will not accept this to happen to the customers. 
At least Wells Fargo should respect the privacy of the customers and follow the privacy preference as indicated on the customer 's account. 
but to whom we complain other than to CFPB. when the Wells Fargo Employees and the supervisors and the managers and the CEO are never on duty to serve the customers, but they are always at the comfort of their home doing whatever please them without any regard to the customers. 
I am not expecting a true answer from Wells Fargo for this complaint as my last Two years ' experience convinced me that I will not hear the truth from Wells Fargo. 
Notice I have been a Wells Fargo customer for more than THIRTY-FIVE years and I never had to complain this way till Two years ago when Wells Fargo moved the customer service overseas, changed management and CEO. 
I attached copies of many of the Wells Fargo letters that I received illegally to my physical address and i have many more to be provided upon request. So, Wells Fargo can not lie again and say only one letter was sent to your physical address.

This is my final notice regarding your agency 's ongoing noncompliance with federal credit reporting laws.
