Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (SC)

I made a purchase to an online platform around XXXX XXXX XXXX of {$370.00} then another purchase on the same platform at app. XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$130.00}. I checked my account yesterday XXXX XXXX later in the day and the later chg of {$130.00} was on my acct online but not the {$370.00} which was the first purchase. This morning XXXX XXXX around XXXX I checked the acct the {$130.00} was gone and the {$370.00} was there. I called cust scv and they said we see the {$130.00} and it was paid although it 's not showing. They explained that sometimes the merchants will capture the pmt then take it off then put it back on as the actual charge. I am reporting this because I am really concerned about how transactions have been showing up and disappearing causing me to be overdrawn. I have been in this business since 2011 and have never ever had another bank do this, so never have I heard of the merchants system taking the capture off then replacing it with the actual pmt charge. In XXXX there was sufficient money on my acct, extra money showed up of {$300.00} & some dollars. I thought it was monies from a sale I was expecting so although I thought it was released early I did n't think much else of it. This was on a Tues I think. By that Thursday evening all that was left was {$24.00}??? When I called they told me they do n't see where {$300.00} & some dollars was ever there. First, I had enough money and was not making that many purchases for what I had in there before the extra money, to end up with {$24.00} let alone that so many transactions came through to deplete the previous balance plus the additional money so basically over {$300.00} in charges they are saying I had it 's really confusing, and now I have to constantly check my account and make pdf copies to show proof of what I see because now it 's their word against mine about this {$300.00} and some dollars. I just feel there are some shady practices going on and I think I really need to reconsider where I keep my money. This is not convenient banking if I have to constantly monitor them, do hand calculations and audits matching transactions etc.

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

My account with XXXX EXPERIAN XXXX 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 to be 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. 


XXXX EXPERIAN XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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!

Ok I have about 8 accounts which one- duh? Under the FDCRA they are supposed to identify who they are and the purpose of the call. They do not do any of this.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (VA)

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

On different occasions I have disputed a collection account that appears erroneously on my Experian and XXXX credit report without having an effective response to the request, and I even made an identity theft report that I also sent but it is observed by Experian and XXXX that they did not carry out an efficient investigation to determine that those accounts that appear on my credit report do not belong to me and they even put an address on the card account that I do not know, this gives rise to thinking that it is information that belongs to another person or that I was a victim of identity theft, this information is affecting me since it harms me when applying for my mortgage loan. I have been a very responsible person and I pay all my bills on time and this is demonstrated by the other companies XXXX and that is why I request that these incorrect accounts that appear in EXPERIAN and XXXX be removed from my credit report in accordance with the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC section 1681i.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I have identified multiple errors that have adversely affected my credit score. These errors are not a true reflection of my credit history, and I believe they may have resulted from clerical mistakes, identity theft, or outdated information. I am requesting that these inaccuracies be promptly investigated and removed to ensure my credit report accurately reflects my financial responsibility. The incorrect information has caused undue harm to my credit score, which can affect my ability to secure credit and other financial opportunities.

Company: Blackhawk Network Holdings Inc. (TX)

Made online purchase at XXXX for {$16.00}. Order was canceled due to XXXX automatically applying an outdated shipping address from my account. They acknowledge the error, and they immediately issued a cancellation notice. I have screenshot and email confirmation. <P/>XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$16.00} ) {$16.00} balance has yet to be recovered back to my XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Blackhawk Network ) as of today, XX/XX/XXXX. In detailed conversation with XXXX escalation team, they indicate that their hold on the funds has long since expired ( XX/XX/XXXX ). And so the money should have been recovered back to the available balance of the prepaid card. It has not. I spoke with XXXX ( offshore call center rep for BHN ), who repeated ad nauseum that it takes 30 days for the money to be recovered to the card, and that it is " because of XXXX problem. '' This appears to be nothing more than scapegoating. Since the XXXX hold has expired, there is no outstanding claim against my funds that BHM would be required to cover. This appears to be an attempt to float MY money for as long as possible for BHN 's financial benefit ( float adds up pretty quickly if they 're doing this to thousands and thousands of transactions at a time ). The BHN rep made no offer to assist or resolve, merely repeating over and over that it takes 30 days. The BHN website shows ZERO reference to any hold on the card ( I have a screenshot of the account info, and specifically the " Holds '' section, which is blank ). The BHN rep refused to offer any reasonable explanation as to 1 ) where my money is, or 2 ) why it is not available for my  use ... other than to blame XXXX, and repeating her " 30 days '' script. This is wildly inappropriate behavior for a company to hold consumer funds for such a long period of time -- especially without documentation in our accounts, and without explanation as to the extended period. In 2017, funds availability and holds are routinely resolved same day or next day with every other credit card I hold.

Company: 21ST MORTGAGE CORP. (TX)

I am submitting this written complaint regarding the recent 30 day late payment notice that was reported, by 21st Mortgage Corporation ( 21st ), regarding my Account # XXXX, to XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ( the Bureaus ) for the month of XXXX, XXXX. In the early part of XXXX, I contacted 21st to let them know that I was currently under contract, with a local Builder, to sell the respected property. My contact was XXXX XXXX ; I informed XXXX that it was a cash transaction and that closing was scheduled for the third week of XXXX. In late XXXX, I informed XXXX that the closing was moved to the third week of XXXX. During this discussion, it was agreed that if closing did not go through as planned, as long as I kept 21st updated and made the XXXX payment by XXXX XXXX, everything would be okay since I had a five year perfect payment history. XXXX also congratulated me on the sale of the property. As luck would have it, the closing did not take place in XXXX. As discussed, I made the XXXX payment on XXXX XXXX. As a result XXXX, immediately ignored the verbal agreement and my perfect past payment history and reported the payment 30 days late. The closing/sale of the property is taking place today, XXXX XXXX, XXXX and the balance will be paid in full. I am in the process of closing on the purchase of a new home on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. As a result of 21st reporting the 30 day late, my credit score dropped XXXX points to a mid-score of XXXX ; worse yet, I have a 30 day late payment, on a mortgage, within the last 12 months. This fatal reporting of the 30 day late has pushed my credit score, credit history from a " XXXX XXXX '' status to a " Refer '' ( Non-Approved ) status and I am no longer approved for the mortgage on the new home. I feel mislead by 21st and I am requesting that, in lieu of the circumstances surrounding the late payment and my perfect pay history during the five year term of the loan, the 30 day late payment was reported in error and that 21st remove it from my credit report to the Bureaus. I would like written confirmation that 21st will report this immediately and that they will be willing to orally confirm this, as well, with all Bureaus and Credit Technology, upon request. The closing on my new house is in XXXX ; if I do not receive compliance immediately from 21st, I will lose the home, possibly be without a home and will suffer substantial financial consequences. If 21st is not willing to immediately comply with this request, I will file a written complaint with the CFBP today.
