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: EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ)

I believe XXXX Equifax and XXXX has violated several of my consumer rights. Specifically, they failed to validate my debt at my request which is an FDCPA violation and they continued to report a disputed debt to the credit bureaus which is a FCRA violation. Not only have they ignored my prior request for validation of debt, proof attached : receipt copies or letter copies but they continue to report this debt to the credit bureaus causing damage to my character. 
I request that the credit bureaus follow the FDCPA and please provide the following validation of debt request. 
1. Proof of right to own/ collect this alleged debt 2. Balance claimed including all fees interest and penalties XXXX. Contract bearing my personal signature I would like to exercise " Estoppel by Silence '' which legally means that the bureaus have a duty to speak but failed to do so, so therefore it must mean that the debt is false. I will use XXXX in my defense. 
I expect to receive the proof requested above within 15 days of this letter. Should the bureaus ignore my request for validation of debt I reserve the right to sue the bureaus for violation of my consumer rights specified under both the FDCPA and the FCRA.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (MD)

I paid my XX/XX/XXXX Synchrony Sams Club MasterCard payment via Bill Pay from my bank on XX/XX/XXXX. I have attached the payment details from my bank showing that the payment was made to Synchrony ( XX/XX/XXXX ), delivered by USPS ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and cleared my bank ( XX/XX/XXXX ). I called in to make the dispute on XX/XX/XXXX and mailed the proof to 2 Synchrony addresses. Synchrony closed the dispute stating I did not provide proof. I dispute again in XXXX via their online dispute form. On XXXX Synchrony closed the dispute again saying they could not find the payment. I called customer service and was told that the check orientation was not correct and they couldn't read it, however, the check was in the correct position when I reviewed my dispute. I spoke with a supervisor who was able to read the tracking numbers and said my account would be credited within 30 days. However, my account still has not be credited with my first payment and correcting their mistake should not take this long. Synchrony receiving a paper check from my bank 's bill pay system is no excuse! I had to pay all subsequent payments in store, since Synchrony can't seem to process payments correctly.

I reviewed my Consumer Reports and noticed that I have conflicting statuses on an account I know nothing about. When I tried to contact the company one person told me that the account was closed, another person told me that the account was open, and another person told me that there was no record of the account.

If proof can't be provided I demand this account to be removed as I have been having problems getting approved for many things and this is affecting my lifestyle negatively. I have contacted them to inform them this is me and provided documentation that it is indeed me contacting them to remove this information from my consumer report. 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) 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.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (AL)

On or around XXXX of 2023 I paid XXXX dollars to this company after I had paid them out in full a few months earlier. I was shocked to see that I was being charged the XXXX dollars because I had not used the credit card since long before I paid it off. I later found out that this card had been attached to my XXXX account somehow. I immediately removed it from the account and I was so upset about it that I decided to pay them in full and never use the card again. Until this day I have not used the card, but they're saying that I owe them more money. I asked them to give me some transactions of what I had made. He said they were for XXXX. I had no transactions on my XXXX account showing anything relating to that card.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MD)

I made a deposit on the day of XX/XX/2023 for an amount of XXXX. This was a bill of $ XXXX bundled together with a XXXX label ( as is customary from the bank ). 
The ATM machine was not able to register the {$5000.00} and can only register {$3500.00} at the confirmation prompt, to which I promptly realized was an error and requested for the ATM machine to cancel the transaction. 
At this juncture, the ATM machine retured exactly {$3500.00} but the rest of the money from the initial bundle ( {$1500.00} ) was not returned. 

I filed a dispute claim with Wells Fargo ( claim number : XXXX ) but Wells Fargo informed me last week ( XXXX XXXX XXXX I can find the letter if need be ) that the claim was denied. 

I tried to contact Wells Fargo to explain that I have evidence they might be interested in ( since I took pictures of the serial numbers for the XXXX dollar bills ) but it was a dead end as their 'investigation ' that took 2 months did not show any extra money being deposited into the account from my transaction.

Rmp services responded to my complaint stating I verified in 2018 by calling their facility the debt. I did not validate. I called to ask for validation and they could not figure out where the amount came from. The account was requested to be removed and they have fought me since stating that I verified it but I did not. The call should have been monitored and recorded. Pull the phone call. This is not my debt. The company also refused to abide by the USC laws I wrote out to take myself out of their reporting services stating it is on their website. I have received no such notice by mail. A company can not speak. All communications must be through mail to be valid. No privacy act trumps any CFR or USC laws.
