Consumer complaint received 2024-01-12
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (AZ)

I received a home repair loan from the USDA Rural Development in XX/XX/XXXX so that I may age in place. The Contractors work was delayed. The loan officer at the USDA Rural Development Office changed the date on the Contractors Agreement reflecting this change but never changed the date on my Promissory Note as required by the USDA Rural Development Handbook RD-HB 1-3550 paragraph 8.8 ( B ). When the work was completed on XX/XX/XXXX, the loan was set into motion and I was immediately past due before I had even received my first billing statement. As a result, the USDA reported me as not paying on my loan. I have since disputed the errors through XXXX and the USDA. The USDA changed the date on the Promissory Note and have since removed the errors. I have also consulted with a Consumer Attorney on XX/XX/XXXX who reviewed all three Credit Reports : XXXX, XXXX and XXXX and found no derogatory information. However, because of the USDA reporting errors, Wells Fargo has reduced my credit limit from {$6000.00} to {$1200.00}. Therefore, my credit utilization is now showing high, I.e., very close to my card limit. I have been a member of Wells Fargo since XXXX. I have never overdrawn my accounts or made late payments for any of my bills. If you review my accounts you will see there is not one late payment. The USDA loan payment is {$41.00} a month and it will be no problem to handle that payment. I would not have agreed otherwise. The USDA error has caused me grave distress. Wells Fargo is adding salt to the wounds by greatly lowering my credit limit. I do not need a {$6000.00} credit limit but would like to have you raise it more than {$1200.00}.

There are XXXX accounts that DO NOT BELONG TO ME. 

XXXX. XXXX XXXX Balance- {$650.00} This has been on my Consumer report for over XXXX months now. Everytime I submit a complaint I get ignored or told that the account is rightfully mine without any one demonstrating any proof as to how they came up with this information. I was never notified of this debt and it does not rightfully belong to me. There are other people locally that have the same name as me seeing as it is a very common First and Last XXXX  name where I come from. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( XXXX XXXX ) Balance - XXXX This account never belonged to me, and when I called in and spoke to a representative they told me the easiest way to get this removed from my consumer report would be to pay the debt off in full which I was reluctant to do seeing as I never defaulted on an account with this company. I have many properties and would have known if that was the case. I paid this debt off and they promised it would be removed XXXX days after payment was processed which was a lie because it is still on my consumer report. I have the recording in my possession which can confirm what I was promised and how I was misled into paying off an account that never belonged to me which is ILLEGAL!

XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Financial Institution : Chime XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX Dear Bureau : My credit card account had fraudulent transactions on XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX, XXXX. I noticed all of these transactions were done in a city I was not in, and in businesses I had never done business with. I contacted my financial institution ( Chime ) to report and dispute these charges. Even though those are fraudulent transactions because of my history path, I did not receive any help from them, and they denied the dispute with no explanation for why, even though I sent proof of the fraudulent details of these transactions. They even asked me to contact the merchants when that is their job in the dispute process. I called several times, and they never contacted me with the dispute department or anyone who could explain their dispute process decision or how they contacted the merchants and followed the investigation.

I recently checked my credit report and realized the company is reporting unknown adverse information on my credit report concerning an alleged debt. I have no knowledge of any business with the company. And I also never engaged in any contracts giving the company consent to furnish anything on my credit report. I feel extremely violated and upset that my privacy would be invaded in such a way. And that my identity would be used without my consent. The company 's actions have damaged my credit rating and hindered my access to credit. The company has violated FCRA permissible purposes of consumer reports, by furnishing unknown transactions to credit reporting agencies without my written consent. The company has also violated FDCPA 1692e by communicating with me concerning the false character, amount, and legal status of the alleged debt. And stating that I owe that debt. 
According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) the credit bureaus have to modify or delete accounts that are not reporting accurately.

According to 15 USC 1681b ( 1 ), the credit bureaus do not have written permission. 

According to 15 USC 1681, I have the right to privacy.

According to 15 USC 1681s-2, A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate.

15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.
