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 — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

I have disputed a Bankruptcy with the Credit Bureau who continues to inform me that verification is verified as accurate when it is not. The Bankruptcy Courts mailed me letters which emphatically stated that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the U. S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NJ)

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (GA)

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I filed a price protection claim with my Chase Freedom XXXX credit card for a purchase I had made. The amount of the price protection refund was to be {$120.00}. 

The initial process of filing the claim through the official site was not smooth. Across multiple computers, and multiple days, I could not get the site to properly function. I eventually had to reach out to Chase to have them email me the form so that I can manually email it back. I believe these defects in the site to be intentional, as a way to frustrate people into not filing claims. 

Several weeks later, I log into the online tracking site ( XXXX ) and see that the claim is pending with a final decision to be made within 5 business days. 

Several more weeks later, on XXXX XXXX, I follow up with the credit card company and I am informed that the complaint should be handled by the end of the week, and I should see a decision on my claim. 

Again, several more weeks pass, and still no movement on the claim being resolved. 

I call Chase again on XXXX XXXX, and they had still not processed the claim, or made any movement whatsoever. The status was still the same as when I had called previously on XXXX XXXX. 

My worry is that per my guide to benefits, the claims must be filed within 21 days of the date of the sale advertisement for the claim to take effect. My claim was filed well within that timeline, but due to the long turnaround time, I worry that if Chase denies the claim due to some sort of a paperwork error, I will not be able to refile the claim as I am outside that window. 

In addition, per the benefits guide, a claim file is only open for 60 days from the date of the claim. Due to the long turn time from Chase, there are only approximately 5 days left before the claim file is closed. 

In addition, as a member of the XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, I am about to conduct a XXXX move to a different duty station within the next 30 days. I am worried that because this process has taken an extended amount of time, any refund check that Chase will send to me will get lost in the mail forwarding due to my change of address.

With XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX preferred  Card.

I opened my account on XX/XX/XXXX. I was seeing 2 offers at that time, first one is {$150.00} back when spending XXXX  first 3 months, the other one is {$250.00} back when spending XXXX  first 3 months. Apparently I clicked on the wrong link, even though I thought I saw {$250.00}, but then they told me " no, it was XXXX  offer I saw. '' I had screenshot the offer from XX/XX/XXXX. Please see the attachment image from XX/XX/XXXX. 
Then no long after I applied, they changed to XXXX  back with first year fee {$95.00} waived, XXXX, it is very close to the offer I initially saw. I called the customer service again to ask if they could waive my XXXX  fee instead, since it is the offer now. Both the customer Rep and her supervisor told me there was no way the fee would be waived.

My boyfriend heard the story, he felt bad, since he was the one who referred me to open the account ( which he should have gotten his referee fee, they could n't credit him either, because I clicked on the wrong link ). My boyfriend called in from his account and phone number, we gave the Customer Rep authorization to look into my account, she said she talked to her supervisor and was able to credit me the {$95.00} intro fee in 2-7 days. That was on XX/XX/XXXX.

9 days passed, I did n't see any credit amount on my statement, I called in again. Same thing, the lady told me she talked to her supervisor, there was no way to credit me the intro fee {$95.00}. My boyfriend got annoyed, he called in again. So it turned out they credited him the {$95.00} intro fee because he 's been with Amex for a while. How ironic!!!

However, as first time female customer, I was not able to get fee waived at all because I clicked the wrong link. First of all, why would they show 2 different offers at the same day same exact time, just because I clicked the wrong link, I did n't get XXXX offer. Then Why was my boyfriend got intro fee waived after being a long term customer, and I was not. He called in on my behalf anyways, ironically Amex waived him the fee.

So he ended up telling the customer Rep to transfer {$95.00} from his account to mine since he felt bad what happened to me. The unfair treatment to Amex customers! I felt ashamed by how Amex handled my situations.

I have contacted Amex through chat, phone twitter multiple times ( at least 8 times ), I could n't get any credit or fees waived. My boyfriend called in once- got his intro fee waived even he was calling on my behalf, oddly enough.

On XXXX XXXX 2017 I checked my PO Box and there was a notice there from a collection agency to the name of " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' I instantly called ( XXXX ) the number on the front of the letter and got a lady named " XXXX '' ( I think I really do n't remember her name. She asked me did I know the debt I told her I did n't and asked what this was about. She asked me to verify my last of my social or she would n't be able to provide me any information. I told her I didnt feel comfortable and she said she did n't know what else to tell me. I verified the last 4 digits of my social and she said I owed this bill. I told her I didnt know what the bill was and may I speak to a manager. She stated that I knew what it was and that I would need to pay it. She said it was in my name. I explained to her thats not even my correct name yes my name is XXXX but my last name is n't XXXX. I asked for a manager again and she then hung up. 

I called back ( XXXX ) and got a different lady. I immediately asked for a manager and she stated she was a manager and her name was XXXX. I verified the last of my social and information. She then stated that the debt was to A XXXX XXXX and that I lived at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX MO. I explained to her I do not know that address and that is it possible for her to share the information on the application. She stated that application states " XXXX XXXX '' and a social of XXXX I told her thats not even my information she said yes it is they just misspelled the information on the application by accident. I told her you ca n't misspell any information. If it says XXXX thats not XXXX! I then told her again that was n't me and she said well get a police report XXXX XXXX or its going to stay in our office. I asked her why am I getting a police report when its not even in my name nor social but you put it on as if it was. I also explained thats not my last name and she stated well XXXX XXXX its going on your credit and and your job will know and we 'll see you soon and hung up. 

I called the company listed at XXXX and they could find any information with my name. The last stated it did n't make sense for a collection company to call me if its not in my name and I agreed and we hung up. 

I called the collection agency back and recorded the call.I go XXXX again and asked her could she send me a copy of the contract she said she could mail that out but was n't able to email the information. I asked her t verify all the information again and she complied and again none of the information on he contract is my correct information. I have attached the recording. 

They changed the name from XXXX to XXXX and that is totally ILLEGAL. You ca n't assume its someone else just because you feel as thou that is correct.

Company: TENET HEALTHCARE CORPORATION (WA)

In XX/XX/XXXX I received a bill for an urgent care visit for my daughter. According to the bill insurance had n't paid and the entire balance was owed by me. I called the original creditor and asked them to bill XXXX XXXX as my daughter had insurance. They said they would. Every month I received another bill and I would call again and ask them to re-bill. I eventually recienved a bill and a collection report on my credit report for {$310.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX for the above date of service. I called them on XX/XX/XXXX and explained I did not owe this debt as my daughter was on XXXX and the visit was covered and eventually paid for by XXXX. I was told they emailed XXXX  XXXX ( the original creditor ) about removing the collection from my credit report because the account HAD been paid in full by the insurance company. I then called XXXX to follow up and was told by XXXX that it would be taken care of and off my credit in 30 days due to the fact XXXX XXXX had paid the bill in full and nothing was owed on the account. None of this was ever done. In XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX XXXX to ask for the explanation of benefits showing the bill had been paid so I could send it to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX so they would stop reporting me monthly to the credit bureaus. The lady I talked to instead three way called them to tell them it had been paid and offered to mail them proof. XXXX was also on the line and apologized for the error and stated they would put in a request to have the debt paid in full and would no longer report. He said they report every Wednesday so it would be about a week for them to stop reporting and the bureaus would reflect that in 30 days. It has been well over 90 days since this conversation and they are still reporting monthly. I do not owe this debt, it has been paid in pull by the insurance company and I need them to remove this from my record. The conversation from XX/XX/XXXX was all recorded my XXXX XXXX and could be made available by calling them.
