Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CO)

I have a derogatory remark on my credit report from a mail-order catalogue service by the name of XXXX XXXX, of which I have no knowledge of. Once noticed on my credit report a year ago, have disputed with all three credit reporting bureaus without resolution/removal from my credit report. Through multiple conversations with XX/XX/XXXX, it was uncovered this account was an UNSOLICITED INSTALLMENT ACCOUNT MAILED TO AN ADDRESS OF WHICH I DID NOT RESIDE in XX/XX/2013. The resident or persons who received catalogue purchased items, which were delivered in XX/XX/2013 for {$140.00} and made NO PAYMENTS ON THE ACCOUNT causing a charge-off to the account of {$310.00}. XXXX XXXX was not able to confirm shipping information/receipt as they no longer have access to those records but refuses to remove from my credit report. This is a fraudulent account that I did not solicit nor make purchases of merchandise and had never heard of XXXX XXXX until its appearance on my credit report and am having the most difficult time of resolving this ongoing dispute to my satisfaction.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (PA)

I received a notice from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/, which required a response by XXXX XXXX XXXX affording me a minimum of 30 days to address the matter. The communication explicitly stated that in the absence of a response by XXXX XXXX XXXX  they would assume the accuracy of the information. In response, I communicated on XX/XX/XXXX, requesting substantiating evidence regarding the ownership of the account. Regrettably, I have yet to receive any confirmation of this information. 

Presently, this account has entered arbitration due to the lack of a response from the company. My recourse at this point is to allow legal representation to explore the available avenues for obtaining the necessary information. 

My concern extends to the credit bureau, as there is a legal obligation to review and verify the accuracy of information before its inclusion in someone's credit report. This obligation is outlined in 15 USC 6801, which underscores the affirmative and continuous duty of each financial institution to safeguard the privacy of its customers and protect the confidentiality of their nonpublic personal information.

Furthermore, 15 USC 1681, section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), clearly stipulates that " In general, subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' In this case, both the financial institution and the consumer reporting agencies lack my consent to furnish this information, especially in the absence of written authorization. I hereby revoke any and all forms of consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise. 

To underscore the gravity of the matter, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) dictates that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' The account in question is deemed adverse, and it is being reported without my consent, which contravenes the law.

Lastly, 12 CFR 1016.7 clearly states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am choosing to exercise this right by opting out of your reporting services and formally demanding the immediate removal of this account from my credit report.

As these queries are negatively impacting my ability to obtain credit and apply for loans, kindly have them erased from my credit report.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email that stated that I was over my limit. I knew that I hadn't charged anything. I looked at my statement and noticed that it said XXXX. I stated I haven't purchased anything where is this charge coming from. I did not authorize this. They did not have any authoraztion to charge my card. I tried reaching out to XXXX. They only had a chat box. The chat box never connected me to a live agent after I stated my issue. 

After this I reached out to American Express. I do value my relationship with American Express but do not like the way they handled the process. It doesn't seem like they investigated nor asked questions. They just closed the case and sent me an email with a receipt.

Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: Synovus Bank (DC)

Not the first time this occurred and because company is not taking accountability to safeguard consumer and not charge fees/interest on card that was compromised and incurred fraud, i do not want this account, have requested to close more than 3 weeks ago and was incorrectly advised due to fraud per the general customer service rep, my account was closed, I advised the fraud department told me in late XX/XX/2023 to call back in 24 hours to customer service to close my credit card as they can not and they needed to investigate fraudulent charges. I called as advised and was advised above and I would be refunded my security deposit in about {$170.00} of the {$500.00} in several weeks. Well today XX/XX/2023, I called, spoke with fraud rep and was advised my account is showing active and not closed, and they can not do anything. Mind the fact bill is due on the XXXX of every month, i clearly expressed XXXX or so weeks ago to close my account and I was not submitting a payment as monies is due back to me and every time First Progress fails to send me my monies back and close account, charge extra fees and interest without my knowledge and I do not always receive my monthly statements and unable to log into their system. I just paid {$46.00} today to avoid being falsely reported and charged another late fee. This is a scam, I need my security deposit monies refunded in full and this secured card closed as unethical practices, increase APR with no letter to inform consumer and charging unwarranted interest and fees and avoiding refunding me knowing this account has been compromised and i have already requested closure of credit card account and it is not done.
