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 — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

XXXX XXXX is making multiple false report to my credit files. 
The company reported to the three major reporting credit bureau that I have make a {$5.00} payment to the account over the past two months, which is totally false. 
I have made five requests both via certified and regular mail requesting an investigation of the fraudulent charges over the past 14 months, after the 3rd letters I got a vague response stating that they verified that the charges were mines without any stating how they verify the charges were legit. My follow up letter went unanswered. 
I haven't used the card for nearly ten years, once I had paid it off around XX/XX/XXXX. 
I provided XXXX XXXX with a copy of the FTC Identity Theft Report because it is really necessary that I know how the card was used, since unlike many of the fraudulent card that was opened with my info, the XXXX XXXX credit card was legitimately mine. 
Not only the company is not complying with my lawful request, it seems like this is an attempt to circumvents existing laws to keep reporting on the fraudulent charges which event if they were legitimately made by me would have reach the status of limitation. 
The last payment I made was around XX/XX/XXXX, not in XX/XX/XXXXand XX/XX/XXXXand not {$5.00}.

Company: Credit Plus Inc (MN)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted an online application at XXXX mortgage giving permission to pull my credit for a loan. Two weeks later, XXXX pulled my dad 's credit to add him to the mortgage and accidentally pulled my credit a second time. Through several email exchanges, this is what they determined. 

The following are the emails from XXXX mortgage : XXXX we pulled your credit XX/XX/XXXX when we added your dad, XXXX pulled credit again because he did it on you and your dad. ( he really didnt need to pull yours again, but I think he forgot and pulled them as a joint account ). I have since called credit plus and they separated the 2 reports and the ones we will be using for your loan are the ones dated XX/XX/XXXX. We cant fix this but it doesnt make that much of a difference. I apologize for XXXX. 

Email from his assistant : Please dont dispute this, it will show up on as a dispute and it will affect the loan approval. Every file has a soft pull 10 days prior to closing and that is where the dispute will show up. In order to get the loan re-approved, you would need to remove the dispute. I would suggest you dispute after you close, but not before. 

Credit was pulled ( not arguing that ) but they say when it was pulled on XX/XX/XXXX and that it was a mistake. I was later told not to dispute it until after closing because it would hold up the loan process. So I waited. In the meantime, XXXX XXXX, the mortgage lender in charge here and I had a falling out due to terrible ethical practices that my realtor would love to be a witness to in court. It should be noted that XXXX owned a house on the same street that he was putting on the market shortly after my closing date. I wrote a bad review on XXXX and now XXXX XXXX is now retaliating against me by refusing to remove the accidental credit inquiry which has impacted my credit negatively. This is a hardship on my way of life and now I fear more retaliation since he has all of my personal information.. This has caused undue emotional stress and anxiety. 

I filed a dispute with the reporting company and XXXX XXXX refused to remove the mark and sent a condescending letter. I just want my credit fix that he ruined through terrible business practices.

I asked Experian to correct my name. They refuse to. I asked them to verify XXXX XXXX XXXX and/or remove them. They refused to. I tried to verify it myself and USPS sent it back unable to deliver, unable to foraward. I asked them to remove bankruptcies that were filed but never finished due to bad legal advice and they refuse. I asked XXXX to and they researched it and removed it.

I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted account, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on this account. Actually I am not sure that the account is even mine though your company claims to have verified this. Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. As in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( Experian ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditorXXXX in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

I'm following up on our recent communication regarding unauthorized accounts on my consumer report linked to identity theft. I never provided written consent or a wet signature for these entries. I formally demand the immediate blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. 

These inaccurate entries have caused substantial emotional and financial harm, misrepresenting my credit history and obligations. They've impeded crucial financial goals, including home ownership and supporting my family.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (FL)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I requested an online US {$3000.00} Balance Transfer from my XXXX XXXX Mastercard, operated by Barclaycard, to be done on my Visa XXXX XXXX credit card. After a few days, I realized that the amount requested wasnt accredited to my XXXX credit card, but totally charged to my XXXX XXXX master card, and fees. Then, on XX/XX/XXXX, I called Barclaycard Customer Care Dept., and requested to cancel the transaction, because still wasnt effective to my external credit card on that date, so it was created the case number XXXX. They said I would have response within 15 days later. On XX/XX/XXXX. I have sent an e-mail to Barclaycard Customer Care dept., requesting a solution, but they confirmed case was still created, but will take between 30-60 days. Because I didnt get any information, another e-mail was sent from me on XX/XX/XXXX, and their response was, that the worker assigned to my case was unable to reverse the balance transfer, as the payment had already been sent, and, supposedly, a proof of payment letter was sent to my mailing address, to provide it to my external bank ( XXXX ). They also said, that when that event happen, the bank will locate the funds. But, really, that supposed letter never was sent or received to my mailing address, and the funds requested was never transfered to my XXXX XXXX credit card account. Besides, what I requested was an electronic balance transfer, not a letter to be provided by myself to the external bank. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX   answered another e-mail to me, that the case can not be opened or updated, and that a manager will contact me, but that also never happened. The amount of US {$3000.00} and related fees, US {$90.00} per transaction, and {$75.00} interest montly, are still charged in may XXXX XXXX Mastercard, which certainly is affecting my finances and credit report. Please help me.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NJ)

In early XX/XX/2018, I received a letter from Wells Fargo informing me that my local branch was closing and that I would have to clear out my safe deposit box. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was charged XXXX for an annual fee for the deposit box. The branch closed in XXXX. I was never refunded for the service charge for a safe deposit box that I could not access. On XX/XX/XXXX I called and after 45 minutes received a credit for the service charge for the deposit box. On XX/XX/XXXX, Wells Fargo rescinded that credit without explanation and debited my account without authorization. They have charged me for a service I never received and wasted my time by forcing me to endure hours on the phone only to reach resolution and have it taken away. I had to call again on XX/XX/XXXX only to have the same treatment.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL)

On XX/XX/2018, I noticed that I had a credit balance of {$.00} on my Bank of America Visa account while using the BOA mobile app on my XXXX. This credit card account as well as another BOA credit card are linked to my checking and savings at BOA. Using the app, I transferred the {$.00} credit balance to my checking account. In the past, I have done this type of transaction in the reverse, i.e. I would pay a credit card balance in full by transferring monies from my checking account to the cc account using this mobile app. Yet, on this day, I was hit with a {$10.00} cash advance fee for transferring the {$.00}. With interest added, it has now reached {$14.00} and despite my dispute letter to BOA asking them NOT to report this to the consumer reporting agencies, BOA has reported this negative information resulting in a lowering of my credit score. If I had no known that I would be charged {$10.00} to obtain {$.00}, I would not have done it. No reasonable person would pay {$10.00} to get {$.00} back! OnXX/XX/2018, I wrote BOA a letter disputing the charge and interest, but they have not issued any letter or email resolving the dispute. Since BOA is the creator of the mobile banking app used by millions of customers, the failure of the app to warn me that I would incur a {$10.00} fee should be held against them.

Company: Lending Club Corp (FL)

This is a complaint against LendingClub, about an account that was opened without my authorization. I have disputed this account with the credit report, sending the evidence of the identity theft, including the police report and affidavit. When I tried to remove the account through the bureaus I was unable to, I am sending the complaint through the CFPB with all the evidence through fax and email that can be able to be provided. So this account can be removed because it was never authorized and it is fraud. Of course the information matches up. Someone clearly used my information without my authorization. I have provided more than sufficient evidence to get these false accounts removed. When someone is the victim of identity theft, it is simply a nightmare trying to get false information removed from a credit file. I have contacted all of the false creditors listed on my credit file. I have challenged all of the false listings on my credit file. Nothing ever happens to fix the situation.
