Im on a joint auto loan with my girlfriend and when she decided to refinance with XXXX, they ran her credit ( of course ) but my credit as well without my consent. 

Now, I have a double entry on my Equifax report from XXXX XXXX XXXX I never even heard of.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

My complaints were never even addressed. Experian said it appeared as if I wasn't making the appeal myself so they fully disregarded it. I was making the complaints and I had my ID notarized as proof of my identity. 

XXXX XXXX has sold this account that they are reporting late each month. I asked them about it and what could I do to get it off my account. They said they couldn't take the payment because it has been purged from XXXX and it is no longer with them. 

This is inaccurate information they're reporting, they are saying I'm late each month on whatever account this is, and they are refusing to take payment so that I can remove it. They said for me to contact an outside company to take care of it. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX the account and they were paid for it, received a tax write off for a loss, and now they are attempting to get paid again from me.

Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: CHS, Inc. (VA)

I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/19 regarding a letter I received in an attempt to collect XXXX. I asked if these claims had been filed through insurance and was told that it was simply too late to file ( regardless of the fact that I told her we had issues with our insurance company during the time of the claims ) and that this amount would be added to my credit report by XX/XX/XXXX if I do not pay regardless of payment arrangements. When I contacted the insurance company, they were more than happy to begin the process of refiling the claims as it was no fault of my own that they were denied. 

In my opinion, this was a deceptive tactic to collect monies owed rather than inform me of my options. She did tell me I could follow up with insurance, but then said it was too late. This felt like she was leading me not to follow up by saying, " At this point it's too late for insurance to be filed. Most insurance companies only have window of time that claims can be filed. Outside of that window they will be denied ''. 

XXXX also told me that they remove negative impacts from credit reports once they are paid in full, but I paid off a medical collection bill with them quite some time ago that still remains on my report after I was promised it would be removed.

Id like to ensure that you have and ONLY RETAIN current, TRUE, CORRECT, COMPLETE, and MANDATED REPORTED information per FCRA regulations. I DEMAND, as it is my lawful RIGHT ( s ) to do so, that you DELETE all information that is deficient of any condition, mentioned above.

Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report.

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity.

Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate.

C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports.

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards.

You are violating my rights! The reports are not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB , FTC and my Attorney General.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I was on the phone with a Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Consultant to discuss options for a pre-approval. I had issues verifying my SSN and DOB. I was asked to visit a branch in person to verify this information. This was the second time I've had to get my information verified at a branch since opening my account in XXXX. Neither my SSN nor by DOB has ever changed. 

Upon visiting the branch, I've learned that my SSN and my DOB were both incorrect by one digit. In addition to this : - I also learned that a credit card application had been placed in XXXX. XXXX was a while ago, I don't remember whether or not I had placed this application. But the graver issue at hand was how an application could have been placed without verifying my DOB or SSN.

- I have been using Wells Fargo 's online banking website to view a FICO score. I've since been told by Wells Fargo that this FICO score belongs to someone else, and is visible because I had someone else 's SSN tied to my account.

In trying to clarify this issue with Wells Fargo, I'm trying to understand when my SSN and DOB first started showing up as incorrect. They refuse to share this. My concerns are as follows : - I have no visibility on whether or not this personal information was wrong from the day my account was created or whether someone had changed the info since then. Wells Fargo refuses to share this. There are implications for me if a malicious party has my personal information and is changing my account details.

- I have problems about Wells Fargo 's procedures and security measures. How was a credit card application placed without confirming my DOB or SSN? How is it possible for me to view someone else 's FICO details without some verification that the score is tied to the correct account, through some means other than SSN? Data like DOB and SSN should be nearly immutable.
