Company: T.S. Holdings (IL)

I cosigned for a lease on XXXX and asked that my name be removed via a phone conversation in XXXX. I had no knowledge the lease was still in my name as all communications from them stopped. 

In XX/XX/XXXX a collection debt for {$15000.00} showed up on my credit. When I called they advised me it was for the lease I cosigned. I asked for proof that I signed a new lease in XXXX and they have not been able to provide it and is charging me {$2.00} in daily interest. 

They sent me a letter statement of the balance owed but no proof of the lease with my email that the leasing company had on file for me.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (OH)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed that my SSN was filed as the incorrect number with Capital One, so I sought to fix it. I immediately contacted Capital One and I was told to submit a W-9 form by a link to a secure document upload from email to request my SSN to be changed, which I promptly completed. I was also told that during this process, Capital One was to lock my account, until they had changed over the SSN. Hearing nothing more after submitting the form, I called back on XX/XX/XXXX to ask about the status of the form, and was informed that the form was completed incorrectly, as I had not completed one important piece of the form. I realized my mistake and was quick to correct the error, and double-checked the rest of the form this time to ensure its accuracy. I resubmitted the W-9 along with a scan of my Social Security card . Nearly two weeks later on XX/XX/XXXX, and I've heard nothing yet again about the whole situation. I call back Capital One yet again only to be told that no such system exists to submit forms over email. I am then transferred to several other representatives until someone who actually knows what they're doing picks up. For some reason, unlike before, now in order to check the status of my form, they need a form of verification. So, I complete the verification a couple of times until it works and get a success screen. The representative instead says that it failed however ( when it didn't ) and that he couldn't be bothered to try it again. So I call back to get another representative and this time, the representative is very kind and understanding of the situation. He suggests that I resubmit my form yet again, since it won't hurt, and the verification process with him works seamlessly. He checks on the form and it appears that it had not been reviewed yet, which he said is unusual and and I agree, such an extended time-frame is rather unacceptable. Bear in mind that since XX/XX/XXXX, I have not had access to any of the funds in my checking account, since it was still locked. So, I resubmit the form as per his request and thank him for his empathy. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and the account is still locked, and I see how far we are getting by contacting Capital One ( nowhere ) and now am I here to submit a complaint. For 23 days now, my checking account has been completely inaccessible and I can not deposit nor withdraw funds from it.

XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX : Request for Reinvestigation and Removal of Charge-Off Account # XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute the accuracy of a charge-off listed on my credit report under the account # XXXX. I have received a 1099-C form for this account, indicating that the debt was canceled. According to the Internal Revenue Code ( IRC ) 6050P, a 1099-C form is issued when a creditor cancels a debt of {$600.00} or more. This means the debt has been legally forgiven and should no longer be reported as a charge-off.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ), I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. As the debt has been canceled and a 1099-C form has been issued, the reporting of this charge-off is both inaccurate and misleading.

I request that you conduct a reinvestigation of this matter under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and remove the charge-off from my credit report. If the information can not be verified, it must be deleted from my credit file according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ).

Please provide me with written confirmation that this item has been corrected and removed. If you are unable to verify the accuracy of this information, it must be deleted from my credit report as required by law. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (GA)

on XX/XX/XXXX, I opened a XXXX account at Wells Fargo bank with a bonus account offer and funded the account within 30 days over $ XXXX and maintained the balances throughout 90 days holding period which qualify me for earning the {$520.00} bonus offer that I was signed up for at account opening. I'm supposed to receive my account opening bonus within 30 days of earned which should be middle XXXX latest but as of today, after I raised several cases and made numerous phone calls and voice messages, no one from Wells Fargo has been able to help me. The worst thing is I'm unable to move the fund out of this account which only pay XX/XX/XXXX % APY as I need to keep this account open to receive the bonus and in order to avoid account maintenance fee, I have to leave the entire $ XXXX on this almost no interest-bearing savings account. 

What Wells Fargo does is unethical and is a violation of signed agreement as it stipulated on its advertisement. And since I raised a case in middle XXXX, no one has updated me about its status although I was told that the case should be reviewed and resolved within XXXX business days. By end of XXXX, I had to ask the banker to raise another case to executive office but still no response as of today.

Company: Chime Financial Inc (NE)

XX/XX/2023 I went to an atm in my banks network, ATM Terminal XXXX at XXXX to withdraw {$400.00} and the atm did not dispense the money. However, it did take the money out of my account. I called my bank and was told to get ahold of the number that was on the atm. I called the XXXX XXXX number located on the machine and was told that I needed to call my bank again to file a dispute. I called my bank once again to file a dispute and a few days later, the dispute was denied because they found no fault and that I had received the money, when I in fact, had not received it. I have since filed 6 rebuttals on the denied dispute claim in order to receive my money and have not been successful. I have also gotten ahold of the bank who owns that atm, to have a work order put in to review the cameras and what not, but have still not been successful. It has now been an entire month since this has happened and I still have not seen my {$400.00}. This has put a damper on my bill paying schedule and am getting very frustrated with the whole situation.

I sent my letter on XX/XX/2023 asking the credit bureaus to " investigate every piece of information '' on the accounts I have attached. 

According to the FRCA, the term " investigative consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information.

They stated my account was verified but how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law? Also, many pieces of information on these accounts are still not reporting 100 % accurate and according to the FRCA 15 USC 1681, everything has to be 100 % accurate. I have attached the credit report showing the inaccuracies and inconsistencies. How have the credit bureaus verified these accounts if they are showing so many discrepancies on fundamental pieces of information such as addresses, date account opened, balances. 
I asked the credit bureaus to share their method of verification and validation of these accounts, but they failed to respond.

This is one of my multiple attempts to notify credit bureaus that I am a victim of identity theft and that I want to query certain records in my documents that resulted from the crime. The documents I'm looking at have nothing to do with any transactions involving goods, services, or money that I've made or approved. Assuming no one cares, remove any material in my credit report that was obtained through alleged fraud or extortion.
