I was told I would then be sent the official property management agreement and lease agreement for this passive income airbnb investment. This did not happen. After 5 days, I requested my money be returned as the only paperwork signed was the non-binding, and they refused and made many silly excuses as to why they spent all the money and couldn't return it. They now won't answer my messages. I saw this scam on XXXX, and met the person in person, prior to investing but it is a scam. Please help get my money. My bank ( XXXX ) will not even investigate it saying I am to blame because I sent the money. But the company isnt honoring the non binding agreement. I am told that by Bank of America accepting their money in their account that they are responsible for money laundering and need to close the scammers accounts and refund my money.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MI)

On XX/XX/2023, I sent a letter to address errors and unfamiliar entries on my credit report. However, I have not received a response despite waiting over 30 days. This lack of action has left me feeling disregarded and taken advantage of. I want to remind you that under Section 611 ( a ) of consumer law, any unresolved dispute must be removed from my credit report after 30 days. Therefore, I respectfully request that these accounts be promptly deleted from my credit report as required by law.

I must also express my concern regarding the Equifax data breach, which has left my personal information vulnerable to misuse. As a result, I expect all necessary measures to be taken to ensure my information is kept secure and protected.

Should my request to delete these accounts from my credit report not be honored, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the undue stress caused by this situation. I hope we can resolve this matter satisfactorily and restore my confidence in your ability to handle my credit report with care and accuracy.

Attached are two of my most recent credit reports ; please use this to verify.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (MN)

In XXXX of this year I received a promotional credit card offer from Barclaycard Ring MasterCard. The offer stated that I would receive a 0 % APR Interest rate on balance transfers within the first 45 days. It also stated that there would be a 0 % APR for 15-months on the balance transfer balances and new purchases. I received the first statement and I had been charged interest on the balance transfer. I was so busy that I just paid it to avoid any dings on my credit and figured I would call to resolve the issue before the next bill. Well the next bill came and it was much larger and I was still being charged interest. Not the typical monthly compounding interest, but daily compounded interest raising my payments substantially. I called the company to resolve the issue and they claimed that I didn't sign up for the offer for 15-month promotional period. I signed up to pay 10.74 % interest. This couldn't be further from the truth. I then went to  download the cardholder agreement and come to find out it's not online. You have to request a copy. Well if they're denying my offer and telling me that it wasn't the offer I signed up for then how should I trust them to send me a legitimate cardholder agreement. I never received the initial cardholder agreement in the mail either. The representatives we spoke with on the phone did nothing to assist in the situation other than deny what I was saying and telling me to send them the offer I received three months ago that has long since been thrown away. I tried to go to the old web page and it has been removed from the website with the exact same promotional offer the only difference being the promotional period of 12-months instead of 15-months. The  representatives were rude and wasted almost an hour of my time. They denied that any 15-month offer existed initially. Then they said well it did exist in XXXX and XXXX, but definitely not XXXX. I pointed him to the nerdwallet article I attached below and he claimed that it was outdated, but it's the offer I was mailed. There are plenty of other credit cards with 0 % for XX month promotional periods I could have applied for with a 3 % or less balance transfer fee, which would be a lot cheaper than 10.74 % compounding daily.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

This is my last and final attempt to have this issue resolved before seeking legal action against the credit reporting agencies and this company. I have challenged the accuracy, compliance and reportability of these listings to no avail, and my rights have been violated. EQUIFAX has been reporting incorrect information on my credit report for XXXX XXXX/XXXX. I have sent in several disputes to have this incorrect information deleted from my credit report. 

On XX/XX/2018, I mailed a certified dispute letter to EQUIFAX regarding the XXXX XXXX/XXXX account, which was received by the EQUIFAX on XX/XX/2018. On XX/XX/2018, EQUIFAX responding with a form letter simply stating that the account had been verified. 

On XX/XX/2018, I mailed a follow-up certified dispute letter requesting the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information, along with the name, address, and telephone number of each person contacted regarding the alleged account, and a copy of any documents provided bearing my signature, showing that I have a legally binding contractual obligation to pay them the exact amount claimed. I informed EQUIFAX that any automated response or e-oscar verification was unacceptable, and that they were to provide me all information within fifteen ( 15 ) days of the completion of the re-investigation. This follow-up certified letter was received by the company on XX/XX/2018. 

As of today, XX/XX/2018, EQUIFAX has failed to comply with laws of the FTC and the FCRA, by still continuing to report inaccurate, incomplete, unverifiable information, and they stand in noncompliance with the reportability of these listings thus violating my consumer rights. These violations are damaging my character and to my credit score.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (TX)

I have already had two of escrow analysis performed and both times my Homes Estimated value has been massively been under estimated so that my equity is very low. My homes estimated value is {$470000.00} to {$500000.00} but this Company estimates my home value at {$280000.00} ( in todays Market you know this is a scam ) and my loan Value is {$350000.00} ( what I purchased the home for ). I see that Carrington Mortgage is already under investigation from the CFPB. I would E-mail or chat with them but they only allow phone calls on my web page as I have looked multiple times and I bet the reason being that phone calls can not be documented as Texts and Chats can be. This under balling people on their Home Values on equity and equity loans has got to be a crime!?
