Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (VA)

In XXXX of XXXX I submitted my initial complaint against XXXX XXXX. It is as follows : On XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX I checked my credit report and found an collection account that I didn't recognize. Knowing this entry had to be a mistake I sent a debt validation letter to XXXX XXXX that same day. On XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX I received a response from the company saying that an investigation was going to be done into the matter and in the meantime the account would be deleted from the credit reporting bureaus, that was never done. I never received any update or validation into this erroneous account. Instead, it remained on my credit reports and continued to lower my credit scores. On XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX I sent a following up request into this matter directly to XXXX XXXX. I let them know that it had been over 5 month since my initial request for validation and advised them that they had violated my consumer rights by having the account removed from my credit reports and by not validating the debt while continuing to report it. I advised them that their silence was obviously and admission of silence and I was under the impression that the debt should have been removed because they failed their legal duty to answer my claims. They in response they sent me a letter stating that my request for validation was frivolous and irrelevant even though they never followed up their legal end of the deal. I am requesting for this account to be removed from all XXXX of my credit profiles immediately. 

The response I received was that this company didn't believe they violated my consumer rights and they continued to report the account as collection account with missed payments. Following that response I paid the account in full with agreement from the company that is would be removed from my credit reports. Since then it has been removed from my XXXX reports but not from my XXXX and Experian reports. This account is continuing to report as if I am missing payments each month which in fact is not true as this account is paid and should've been removed. My validation letters to the company have been ignored for the last 6 months.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (WI)

In XX/XX/XXXX we purchased furniture from XXXX in XXXX, WI. The total cost was approximately {$8000.00}. We opened a house charge account though XXXX XXXX  to finance the purchase and take advantage of 0 % interest. The account is in my wifes name. 

Over the next few months we paid down the account while waiting for the furniture. Each time a piece was delivered it was defective. I can provide more details if needed. XXXX sent technicians to verify the condition ( but in the case of our dining room table, it was so badly damaged upon delivery that the driver started the process for us ) and replaced the damaged furniture with pieces that were either also damaged or just fell far below the advertised quality and the price we paid. 

In XX/XX/XXXX we threw up our hands and sent everything back for a full refund. But we still do not have our money! Our charge account shows a XXXX balance but theyve not yet sent us the money we paid, which was over {$6700.00}. The customer service call center is overseas and my wife, who has spent hours on hold or on the phone, has legitimate concerns over whether they understand the need to refund our money.

Company: Credit Karma (TX)

I have a spend account with credit karma, and on XX/XX/XXXX there was an unauthorized transaction so credit karma closed my debit card and I have no access to my account. On XX/XX/XXXX I learned that my account was hacked, and someone linked their bank account to my spend account, and they have made over 30 attempts to transfer my money into their account. Credit karma refuses to close my account, and they have repeatedly said they would transfer me to the specialized department and then nothing happens. I have tried to change passwords and email addresses, but the representative at credit Karma told me the hacker has access to my account number and routing number, but they won't freeze my account.

Company: CULLEN/FROST BANKERS, INC. (TX)

I set up a money market account to protect my money. I was contacted on XXXX to purchase a product. I purchased it using XXXX. Once I sent the initial transaction, I was told they didn't receive it. I sent it again and was then told I needed to add more fees. I was then threatened to send more. Once I realized in was a scam, I tried to get it stopped, but I believe some of the transactions were not even authorized on my end. I went to my bank, they opened a case or so they said, and then a few days later demanded I close my account and move on. As you can see from the transactions I am about to list below, " just moving on '' is not right. I was scammed. I have the text messages to back up everything. This is not a small amount of money.

I am submitting this CFPB complait to you today to follow up the previous CFPB complaints that I have been submiting to fomplain regarding the removal of the fraudulent accounts and information from my Credit Report. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a letter addressed to the Credit reporting Agencies to remove the disuted accounts and information completely from my Credit Report in accordance with the FCRA section 605b. The Letter I sent was already my sixteenth ( 16th ) Dispute letter I have been sending. But despite all the letters and efforts I excert, the Credit Reporting Agencies grew ignorant of their duty and chose to neglect their responsibility with the FCRA section 605b. This is my NUMEROUS request that I have been a victim of identity theft and that no one seems to care, that I want to dispute specific records in my credit file that do not belong to me, or that I have signed any agreement. I have read enough to uinderstand my rights which is clearl beoing violated by the Credit Reporting Agencies. The accounts I'm challenging have nothing to do with any transactions I've done or authorized to gain products, services, or money. Please remove the following items completely from my Credit Report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$2300.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/2012 XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$2200.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00}

This is not a duplicate complaint technically seeing is that Cashapp has responded and had these complaints closed without addressing the issue typed and it seems this Consumer Department is helping them do so. So here is the complaint for the company to address. I was harmed on both XX/XX/XXXX andXXXX XXXX, XXXX in Wisconsin because my financial institution Cashapp who operates out of XXXX XXXX, CA let funds go from my account even though I did not have enough funds to make the purchase the merchant displayed one price and charged another. It does not appear to have went through any various of incremental price adjustments. Just flat out charged more than what was in my account. Held my funds pending for days. At times when someone I owed came to collect there money I couldnt pay that person and we got into fisticuffs I received bodily injuring blows and at one point I was having an anxiety attack paired with a sciatic nerve in my back that restricts my inhalation and I could not remove myself from the situation because my life was being threatened by my body. These transactions technically completed because the merchant had to cancel them. These transactions were completed not peer to peer and was made with their cash card liability belongs to Cashapp without a doubt. I do not have a borrow allowance for sure and stock round ups accumulated or a lack there of because of these transactions being initiated and technically paid to the merchant. If I didnt faint my heart would have arrested completely to my knowledge. All of this has caused me Extraordinary Emotional Distress as well as pain from what I encountered on the day. My body and mind paid and is paying the overdraft fees of these transactions and the app told the truth of the matter despite everything. It didnt expire it was canceled. It wasnt declined because it wouldve never been there to have been released on another day and would read specifically NOT ENOUGH CASH https : XXXX information in this link is, to me, quintessential to understanding where I am coming from. This department can not close this claim without Cashapp properly addressing this matter and going further with nothing other than them remedying the situation. Do you Cashapp disagree that in order for something to be canceled that cash would have had to been posted? Do you Cashapp disagree that in order for Something to be voided that XXXX would have been had to have been posted in any form or faction?

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) to be removed. 

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. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

I have another complaint against this XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  with you XXXX after they lied to you a federal regulator claiming they had not reported my account as a charge off, when indeed they had, and would work with me and allow me to pay, which they did not!! Now they are not only reporting it as charged off, but did not apply the last payment they took from me and are showing my balance information incorrectly!!! The balance after payment is listed on this printout, which is EXACTLY why I made them give it to me. They were also telling me the day I was there " It is in your best interest not to make that payment '', in other words, they had charged the account off a day before the date they and their district manager told me I had to pay it, so they probably pocketed that money order!!!! I have attached this payment information and the final balance after they said they charged the account off and my payment that day was deducted!!! My credit report as you can see from the information I put in my complaint above shows the balance at {$3300.00} when it is {$3000.00}!!! They are breaking every FDCPA laws ever written, please enforce the laws!!!!

Before the loan was sold, XXXX XXXX XXXX held approximately {$30000.00} in unapplied funds. I don't even know if my escrow payments are being paid to escrow. I would like my payments to be properly applied to my account, or I will have to hire an attorney to prosecute them as acting in bad faith.
