I have written and sent XXXX certified letters to XXXX Bank regarding an incorrect missed payment report, but they have failed to take proper action. Despite disputing the inaccurate information with Experian, XXXX only added a false statement in the comments section that the missed payment was due to a natural disaster, rather than fixing the issue. 
I made a payment of {$250.00} on XX/XX/2022, and have enclosed proof of payment and bank statements that were sent to XXXX Bank. I have now disputed this for the fourth time with Experian and also with XXXX and XXXX. XXXX corrected my payment history with XXXX to reflect timely payments, but XXXX 's investigation is still ongoing. My main concern is with Experian, as they have not properly investigated the report despite being provided with the XX/XX/2022 payment amount and dates from my bank statement. 
This is the second time that XXXX Bank has reported a false missed payment on my account, which I have had to dispute. I have never faced such issues with other banks, only with XXXX Their refusal to correct the incorrect information and own their mistakes raises a major concern.

Dear NATL RECOVER ( Original Creditor : 10 NATIONAL GRID RHODE ISLAND ENE ) ; This is fraudulent reporting! I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc. (NY)

In XX/XX/2020 my son, XXXX XXXX, was living in an apartment at XXXX XXXX apartments in XXXX Florida. He had a lease along with XXXXwo other college students for the unit and each was responsible for their own portion. During the pandemic his two roommates parents lost their employment and were unable to make their share of the rent payments. The landlord was not willing to accept our 1/3 of the rent as we had been paying and instead insisted that the whole rent be paid. That put me in a position where I could not pay the rent in its entirety. I made offers to pay my son 's third of what was remaining on the rent at that time and was told that I could not. Fast forward approximately one year and I started getting collections calls from National credit systems located in Georgia. The total balance owed for the debt they are attempting to collect in {$7700.00}. My argument is that I'm only responsible for 1/3 of that debt as there were two other individuals on the lease that are each required to pay 1/3 of that debt until the total amount is paid. I have sent a registered return receipt letter to national credit systems offering to pay my 1/3 of the debt in order to remove this collection notice from my credit report. Prior to this incident my credit was at roughly XXXX as a XXXX XXXX  and plummeted down into the XXXX hundreds as a result. I have always stood steadfast that I would pay my sons and my obligation of XXXX of the debt which would be roughly {$2600.00}. They will not accept that and tell me I have to pay the full thing and go after the other two tenants myself. This sounds ridiculous and as a result I am filing this complaint.

My FICO score dropped by 29 point and the credit bureau can not give me specific information as to why and will not let me know what calculations they used to determine my score. My score also dropped and keeps dropping with XXXX and Trannsunion.I used the score simulator offered by XXXX   and paid down my card, paid off my auto loan and a few of my creditors actually increased my credit limits but my score still dropped. The credit reporting agencies keep giving me the run around and can not explain or show any real proof as to why me score dropped. Please help me get " factual data '' as to why my score dropped when i am doing the right thing. I need someone to help us consumers whose lives are being ruined by these credit bureaus w/o any explanation. I disputed anything that was potentially incorrect or negative on my reports but " There is no option to dispute my actual credit score or changes to my credit score '' with any of the major credit bureaus. 
I believe the credit bureaus are intentionally lowering scores to " force '' individuals to take out consolidation loans or open new accounts thinking it will increase their credit while the credit bureaus are getting some form of kickbacks. I get emails/ alerts everyday to open new account or sign up for services such as XXXX XXXX and believe I am being penalized for not taking the action they want.

Company: Upgrade, Inc. (PA)

On XX/XX/23, I applied for what I thought was a flexible spending credit/debit card through Upgrade bank. The offer was for a {$400.00} welcome bonus when you sign up for both the card and their checking account. They offer good interest rates, so I decided to sign up. 

POSSIBLY IMPORTANT- I saw the offer on the XXXX app, and clicked the link to apply through that app. 

After the initial application process, I thought it was odd that I wasn't prompted to open a checking account. It was after midnight at this point, so I decided to deal with it when I woke up in the morning. I signed up for a checking account later on XXXX, and added a savings account. I then called the bank to make sure I didn't miss anything with the application process. 

I was told by Upgrade customer service that I didn't qualify for a {$400.00} bonus, that my bonus offer was {$100.00} after I spent {$500.00} on the line of credit. They went on to tell me that the {$400.00} offer was through XXXX XXXX, and I should go to them with any further questions. 

I tried to contact XXXX XXXX that day through their online help form, and got no response. 

Today, XXXX, I looked at all the pages on Upgrade 's website, and found the {$400.00} signup offer- it was for a card, connected to a checking account, just like I originally tried to sign up for. I tried again to contact the bank and asked if they could correct my account, since I applied for one financial product, and received another. 

They told me that they couldn't make any changes, and that XXXX XXXX was responsible for the error, since I clicked a link through their website. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX through online chat, and was told, in essence, that they had nothing to do with affiliate links and couldn't correct anything on their end. 

I called Upgrade and closed out all the accounts. 

Aside from infuriation, wasted time, and a hard inquiry on my credit report ( that was advertised on XXXX XXXX as a soft inquiry only ), I haven't been harmed. However, I wanted to make a report, because it seems unlikely to me that a financial institution would advertise a product with a high financial incentive and then " accidentally '' give customers a high interest ( 21.96 % ) line of credit instead. I believe that Upgrade, XXXX XXXX, or both, may be involved in a bait-and-switch scheme, and if I had really needed a loan and drawn on it right away, I would have been stuck, as I'm sure many people have been by this offer.
