Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified items listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these items? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA. 

Since you claim youve verified the items listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the company directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ITEMS? I believe you have not verified these items based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (FL)

On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX of this year, TD Bank imposed overdraft fees and processed transactions in such a way as to cause excessive and unnecessary overdraft fees against my checking account. This is currently occurring again, and my account now sits at - {$15.00} as I have been assessed {$140.00} in fees over the last month, while my wife recovers from a XXXX XXXX XXXX an we have XXXX small children to feed. 

When I contacted them via secure message, I was first told that they could not help because months ago, they reversed a fee that was caused exclusively by an automatic transfer from my TD checking account to my TD savings account. I immediately reversed that transfer, before the fee was even imposed, and the money never left their bank. After that I received generic responses and finally, no response. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, an online utility payment came through as TWO charges ( without warning ), splitting the actual payment from the fee. Of course they run the payment first and then the small service fee, triggering 2 overdraft fees in the amount of {$70.00}. 

That same day, there are a number of XXXX and XXXX transfers finally released - but not before they process a phone payment. They save that fee for the next day, though, so I'm not expecting it and they can lump it in with another one.

So then AGAIN, a transfer requested on the XXXX wasn't acknowledged until the next day, after a gas run that it would have covered. Another {$70.00} in fees, for that and the previous day 's phone bill. If not for the {$70.00} in initial fees, we wouldn't have accumulated the second {$70.00}. 

TD Bank claims that they process payments and whatnot in the order they're received, but they don't. They hold things in pending status, they lump together overdraft fees to suit themselves, and they refuse to work with us. They exchanged one unfair practice for another, getting rich off the poor.

Now, most recently, they are forcing ANOTHER egregious fee on a {$2.00} XXXX XXXX trial - when the rest of the order already posted. That right there is an easy {$35.00} fee for them, plus the {$35.00} fee to pay our internet bill that had been cut off, overdrafting the account {$15.00} when we've been swamped with fees and no one there cares.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Seterus, Inc. (GA)

Seterus overpaid my XXXX taxes by {$660.00}. My county tax office refunded the overpayment on XXXX XXXX. There was NO change in my XXXX tax rate from XXXX. 

Seterus increased my XXXX mortgage by {$69.00}. I called Seterus tax dept. on XXXX XXXX, and after an hour and a half of discussion with Seterus tax and customer service was assured they would correct their mistake in 7-10 days. They assured me my escrow would be adjusted to the correct taxes. They could not explain WHY they overpaid my taxes in the first place!! 

My XXXX mortgage bill came in {$55.00} higher than normal. I called Seterus again today and was told my taxes STILL show as {$1300.00} DESPITE the fact that they NEVER received a bill from my county tax department for {$1300.00} and when they paid {$1300.00} instead of the bill which was {$640.00} the county tax people refunded Seterus the {$660.00}  overpayment. 

After another hour and a half on the phone the customer services rep said she will resubmit what had already been submitted but I would have to pay the increased mortgage rate AGAIN in XXXX. So far Seterus has effectively extorted {$120.00}. For a person who is XXXX on a very limited income this is equivalent to attempting to price me out of my home. 

Seterus made the mistake. Seterus received a refund in XXXX for their mistake. Seterus is still demanding an unsubstantiated increased mortgage amount from me. Seterus is still stalling saying they have to start a process all over that they promised last month would be resolved. 

When Seterus received a check for {$660.00} in XXXX from the County Tax Department that should have triggered an escrow analysis. County tax departments do not just issues refunds. Instead they pocketed the money and increased my Mortgage! 

I want my {$120.00} back. I want them to get their act together and bill customers according to the actual escrow bills.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Billing problem
Company: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION (AL)

I received a statement from Toyota Financial Services on XX/XX/XXXX showing that I only owed {$1.00} due XX/XX/XXXX. I called the company to see if this was correct. The lady I spoke with said yes the {$1.00} was an unpaid late fee which I am removing so you now have a {$0.00} balance. I also have the Toyota Financial Services APP on my phone and checked it again at the beginning of XXXX and it showed I had a {$0.00} balance. XXXX the XXXX I went in to make the XXXX payment due on XX/XX/XXXX still only showed I owed one payment. I went back in the app on XX/XX/XXXX to schedule the XXXX payment for the XXXX and noticed that I owed 2 payments. I called Toyota Financial Services right then to see what the problem was. The lady was very rude and absolutely no help. She said at the time I was now 9 days past due on the XXXX payment and I must pay it with the late fee. I explained to the lady what happened an again very rude. I called back a few days later during the day and got another lady that was absolutely no help. She proceeds to tell me the same thing the payment is due and there is nothing they can do for me. I advised that I always make my payments on time and would never wait 26 days before making a payment and there is no way I can come up with the 2 payments this month because I was definitely not prepared for that. Asked if they could defer the payment since it was there fault and she says no they cant do that. She said when I called in back in XXXX they noticed that something must not be right and looked into it then found the error in XXXX so the payment is due. I advised the lady that I understand that it's due, but it was there mistake so could they please defer it. She would not. I hung up with her and called back in today XX/XX/XXXX. I got another lady who is no help. She said it states in your contract that you have to make a payment each month. So its not our fault and you owe the payment, we can't do anything for you. She proceeds to ask when I will be making the next payment for my XXXX payment ( which should be for my XXXX payment ). I told her I will be making the XXXX payment on XX/XX/XXXX and then will be refinancing with another company. This is literally the worse place to do business with. I will never finance anything with this company again and something needs to be done with the way they do things and how they talk to people.

Company: Texas Guaranteed (TX)

Please accept this final written OFFER OF SETTLEMENT BEFORE LITIGATION as my attempt to amicably resolve your continued willful violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act regarding your refusal to delete all of the UNVERIFIED account information from my consumer file. Despite my three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In the results of your re-investigations, you stated to the Creditor Bureaus that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? You still have not identified who in your company verified the accuracy of these accounts or how they verified them? As previously pointed out to you, XXXX Law Dictionary, 6th Edition, 1990, defines Verification as, Confirmation of correctness, truth or authenticity, by affidavit, oath, or deposition. Affidavit of truth of a matter stated and object of verification is to assure good faith in averments or statements of a party. What this means is that your company must be willing and able to produce a document that proves the account ( s ) in dispute belong to me and the information being reported is accurate and you must be able to do this in a court of law. Someone in your company must authenticate the documents in your files that were used to verify the disputed accounts and to do this they must have 1st hand knowledge of the alleged account ( s ) and all that has ever transpired for the alleged account ( s ), under oath and under the penalty of perjury. Your failure to provide me with verifiable proof required for your company to post the accounts listed below is evidence that it does not exist and therefore is proof that you cant properly Verify the accuracy of any of the disputed accounts. Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

Wells Fargo is breaking the law in multiple ways as identified below. Wells Fargo is currently being sued for these issues and if this isn't resolved we will move to form a class action lawsuit. 

Violation of law # 1 - CA XXXX has been expanded as of XX/XX/2018 to forbid dual tracking on short sale requests. Wells Fargo verified this property was under short sale review and illegally continues to have a scheduled foreclosure sale date. Stating the foreclosure is suspended while having a posted sale date is illegal, duplicitous move who's intent is to violate non dual tracking law. 

Violation of law # 2 - ( acting in bad faith regarding a real estate transaction ) Wells Fargo countered buyer to XXXX on short sale request. Buyer countered Wells Fargo to XXXX and provided a bid of XXXX showing significant damage to property. A value dispute was requested and performed by Wells Fargo. At the end of the value dispute Wells Fargo is legally required to advise buyer of their final result after value dispute is completed to allow buyer to respond. In this instance Wells Fargo decided to stay at their counter of XXXX however closed the short sale request prior to telling buyer they were staying firm. They informed buyer AFTER they closed short sale request causing harm to buyer and seller. Wells Fargo is legally required to allow buyer to respond to final offer which they did not. Wells Fargo did this due to an illegal pending foreclosure pending sale date of XX/XX/18 so Wells Fargo could charge foreclosure fees and act as a foreclosure mill. 

Wells Fargo has significant ongoing issues with non compliance. They continue to have these issues and should have their license pulled in CA rather than just freeze their ability to grow. Breaking laws and not doing anything about is unacceptable.

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

I placed a credit freeze with all three credit agencies in early XXXX. I then applied for a home loan in mid XXXX and had no problem temporarily lifting my credit freeze with XXXX and XXXX but Experian would never recognize my information online or by phone and required mailed in copies of all my documentation, this delayed my loan processing by several weeks. I thought that this would be a one time issue since I provided all of this documentation to Experian but today I have another reason to request a temporary lift of my credit freeze and again, Experian is the only credit agency that will not recognize any of my information and requires all documentation in hard copy mailed to their location. This is only 1.5 months since I last did this and I still have my confirmation PIN from when I set up the freeze with Experian on XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I believe Experian is making the process more arduous to discourage individuals from utilizing the credit freeze system. I believe this is because I am not Experian 's customer, their customers are the agencies looking for credit information and my putting a freeze in place could take away from Experian 's business. The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau should ensure measures are in place that credit reporting agencies are responsive to individual requests for temporary lifting and subsequent securing of a credit freeze.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I attempted to re-finance my XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, CA. I was doing this so I could get a lower payment amount by starting a new loan even though the APR would increase by about 1.5 %. 

I have made all payments on time. I have made all payments on ALL of my credit cards on time as well since I have re-established my credit. 

Apparently, I 've opened too many charge cards ( 6 ), and my credit score has decreased by over 100 points even though I pay them on time.

So, how is it that the credit bureaus can just keep lowering my credit score just because I am " using '' my established credit? A balance increases on a credit card ; they take points off of my FICO score. I make more than the minimum payment every month, but they do n't increase my credit score for that. I get a new account ; they lower my credit score. I have an inquiry, they lower the credit score. How is it that I get punished for NOT making payments, but I do n't get credit for making my payments timely? 

I 'm XXXX years old, and I rent a town home. I am a veteran, and I qualify for a zero down VA loan. BUT, I ca n't get financed because my score just keeps going down even though I make my payments timely. I need to move my mom in which means needing to move, but the rents here in CA have skyrocketed to ridiculous amounts. I use my cards to help my mom with medicines etc. I 'm being punished for it, and it 's taking a toll on my emotions. 

Do you have any suggestions?
