Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CO)

I had a checking account with Wells Fargo. ( I had had this account for 16 years ). This account was linked to my Wells Fargo credit card. Each month I could automatically pay my Wells Fargo credit card bill. I had it set up so that if I took no action the minimum required payment would automatically be taken out of this Wells Fargo checking account. That way even if I got busy my credit card would always be paid on time! Out of no where in XXXX 2017 Wells Fargo closed this checking account. Because they closed this account my credit card payments on the Wells Fargo credit card were then NOT being paid. I was totally unaware of this and I do not believe that Wells Fargo did enough to notify me that they were closing this checking account. It was very surprising especially since I had had that account for so long.
Apparently they had changed their policy and this account was being closed because it did not have the required number of transactions per month. I never got a phone call to notify me of this information. To me this is especially shocking and upsetting since I had been a customer for such a long time and had a record of paying my bill on time. Then Wells Fargo started to send me letters stating that my balance had not been paid. I received the first letter on XXXX XXXX, I did n't look at the letter at the time as my XXXX child had been born the XXXX XXXX. By XXXX XXXX, they sent me another letter stating that I was delinquent on this account and that a payment of XXXX had to be paid immediately. I also did n't get this letter until several days later. Finally I got another letter on XXXX XXXX that stated that I had to pay a minimum of XXXX. This was the first time that this matter was brought to my attention and I was horrified. I immediately paid the XXXX. Even though I worked hard to rectify this situation Wells Fargo still put a hit on my credit score. This has severely impacted my credit score. Currently I am trying to buy a new home and my ability to lock in a competitive rate is being affected by my low credit score. All of this had happened because Wells Fargo closed an account I had that was paying them on time every month. I feel that this situation was Wells Fargo 's fault. As they first set me up to not pay my credit card bill, then charged me enormous fees when my payment was late and then finally they hit my credit score and damaged my credit history when none of this was my fault.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

I sent a letter certified mail to XXXX to valid debt in about of {$740.00}, XXXX responded with the original debtor " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' ledger with an excessive carpet fee for {$320.00}. I responded back to XXXX certified mail with pictures taken from Move Out of the entire apartment with no carpet stains. I also sent a copy of a letter from my Lawyer that was forwarded to original client XXXX XXXX stating that the debt was incorrect. As stated in the legal document, the silence was taken as a confirmation that the amount was incorrect. Yesterday, I spoke with a representative to follow up on the status of my response. The representative stated that " he received the pictures of the apartment. Apartment companies can add fees if you do n't have a move out inspection and next time have an inspection to avoid false fees. '' He then went on to explain how he would delete the debt from my file for a settlement of {$420.00} however he could not put it in writing. I have to pay first then he will delete from my file.

Company: Harris & Harris, Ltd. (IA)

In the last two weeks I have received three robo calls from Harris and Harris , Ltd. in XXXX, Il. I have no indebtedness and an excellent credit rating. There is absolutely no reason I should be receiving calls from this agency. Each time they call, they leave a different number for me to call. I have yet to return their calls because I believe to do so will just further complicate the matter ( based on others ' experiences ). I was required to answer some of your questions in ways that do n't really apply here. For instance, I do n't know if they think they have some indebtedness information on me or my wife or one of my grown children. I just know they are harassing me.
Since 2003, the number they are calling has been on the do not call registry.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

I presently pay XXXX XXXX for credit protection. I check with them periodically to make sure that my Fraud Alert is still in effect. I asked them for a 7 year Fraud Alert on my account in 2016. Just recently when I applied to get a XXXX cable account, I found that my Fraud Alert was not in effect, and that Experian gave out credit information on my account. I was informed by XXXX XXXX that when I ask for a Fraud Alert that they inform the other XXXX companies of my request. When I followed up with Experian I found that this is not so.The other companies are not informed of my Fraud Alert and I have to do this individually with each company. I was able to put on a 90 day Fraud Alert over the phone with Experian. But had to re-activate the 7 year Fraud Alert with XXXX XXXX once again, even though I was informed by XXXX XXXX that it was in place in 2016. Furthermore, I wanted to update my telephone number. I had changed my home phone number to a new one. I could not do this with XXXX XXXX over the phone. One of the three questions that were asked did not pertain to me so they decided that I had FAILED the test, and would not change my phone number. The agents all in XXXX were rude and very unaccommodating. I could not believe their treatment of me in both of the Fraud Alert sections in Experian and in XXXX XXXX. To date, I have been asked to submit ( 2 ) proofs of identity, a current bill with my address on it and a cover letter informing them that I have changed my home telephone number. Experian and XXXX XXXX have asked for all of the above, yet Experian went ahead and released my credit information to XXXX in any case. I believe the system of the XXXX credit companies to be very confusing to the consumer and far from uniform. Each company works independently and not interdependently as the consumer as led to believe. Also, the fact that you are speaking with representatives who are all in XXXX makes it difficult for the consumer to understand them clearly. In addition, the questions asked of the consumer in order to be able to change information over the telephone in most cases are inaccurate and not applicable in my case.

i have went through the BBB to get through this issue with universal acceptance. This battle has gone on for years I have asked over a dozen times that this company validate this debt in return they refuse to do so by asking me to provide them with information to validate the debt. I am aware of the laws that protect me and those that protect companies. The refusal to validate this debt is very bothersome. I am hoping to get this issue resolved in a timely manner for it has held me back many years thus far!

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: LoanCare, LLC (NJ)

On XXXX/XXXX/2017 I made a payment on my FHA loan that reduced my principle balance to below the 78 % of purchase price that should have triggered automatic removal of PMI from the account. During this time period our loan was in the process of being transferred from XXXX XXXX to LoanCare LLC. I spoke with customer service from both institutions around that time and they confirmed that PMI should automatically be removed from my account. 3 months have passed and I have again reached out to LoanCare LLC and they still have not removed the approximately {$85.00} they are charging me every month for PMI. They are insisting that I have to send them a request in writing to remove PMI which is in violation of HUD/FHA policy. Between 78 % and 80 % you have to request removal in writing. Below 78 % should be removed automatically. I am also under contract to sell the house which puts a tight time frame on fixing the error.
To compound the problem their website at the same time says I do not have PMI and yet I see the {$85.00} coming out each month. LoanCare LLC customer service reps continue to confirm they are charging for PMI and despite talking with their managers a few times they will not give me a straight forward answer or even send me an email stating they are review the issue. Because the website states we do not have PMI we ca n't even fill out the form necessary to request the removal of PMI, which at times the company says we are required to fill out to remove PMI, even though we are below 78 %. We have spoken to customer care members XXXX ( ID XXXX ) and XXXX ( ID XXXX ).

Company: Southern Oregon Credit Service, Inc. (OR)

Hello, I have tried multiple times to send requests for reciepts to be mailed to me along with my remaining balance. Over the past week i have contacted Southern Oregon Credit almost everyday trying to get information on my debt yet they are with holding the information. I have no clue if they are adding to my debt, if the payments are actually going to their purpose, and if they are trying to wrongfully increase my interest. I have nothing for my records from Southern Oregon Credit and have not recieved anything via mail regarding my debt for about 2 months or longer. Im tired of playing these games with this company. It goes to show that all those consumer complaints online are true. I get responses faster on this complaint site than i do from Southern Oregon Credit and they are literally located 10 blocks from my house. I refuse to call or go down there due to the vulgar language, abuse, and collection tactics. I want this to be over, i never want to be affiliated with this company ever again. I plan on taking action so that in the future other consumers will not be forced to deal with this company. I want my information that is being with held! I WANT RECIEPTS FOR XXXX/XXXX/2017, XXXX/XXXX/2017, AND ANY THEREAFTER. i AM BEING GARNISHED SO I HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO KEEP RECORD OF WHAT THIS COMPANY IS TAKING AND THERE SHADY TACTICS. THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED. THERE ARE LAWS BEING BROKEN PER THE STATE OF OREGON. I WILL BE COMING IN FOR THE FINAL PAYMENT TO GET COPIES OF ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS SHOWING SOUTHERN OREGON CREDIT HAS BEEN PAID IN FULL ALONG WITH A WITNESS AND RECORDING DEVICE. i have read from previous consumers about how this company will report debt as unpaid to continue garnishment despite being paid in full and i refuse to be your victim. I have copies and records of all my attempts to communticate with this company i also have verbal recordings of your creditors who use alias 's and their threats / vulgar language. Just something to keep in mind. I will keep cobntacting you and keeping record of everything until you facilitate what i am asking for, it 's not much and its the least you company can do for all my hard ships and suffering with the treatment i have recieved.

I have experienced many issues with XXXX who now has my former XXXX XXXX XXXX loan. The first issue was a loan I had on a second residence, when the economy turned bad I had asked lender if possibility of rate reduction since I had never missed a payment, I was told only way to reduce anything was for me to miss a few payments before modification could be started.And if I did n't lender would move to repo department for repo process, lender was very aware I had not missed payments prior to me telling them my business was in trouble asking for assistance. In the end I brought a buyer for my home and was told loan would show on credit as paid in full as if I paid it in full. That loan is not reported properly on my credits, and now i find out after a phone conversation onXX/XX/XXXX with XXXX that my current home loan with XXXX Loan # XXXX is reporting past due payments on all credit reports. XXXX told me in XX/XX/XXXX this was fixed and now we find out nothing has been done. I received an email at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXXafter my call the previous day stating loan never late, Header on letter says VERIFICATION OF MORGAGE. To date my current home loan has never been late. Due to this issue I am not able to move forward buying my new home. This company is a BULLY and I ask for your help in this matter.
