Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

XX/XX/XXXX, I visited an auto dealership For XXXX, I finally decided to trade my XXXX XXXX XXXX for the XXXX. After the dealership checked my credit report, I was informed that I had a recent collection added to me account, that significantly impacted my credit score. 

When I returned home, I started investigating and seen that a " XXXXXXXX XXXX  '' had contacted the three credit reporting agencies, XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax to add a collection of XXXX dollars to my credit report. resulting in an ( XXXX POINTS REDUCTION ) due to the collection. 

Trying to resolve this with the XXXX XXXX representative, I explicitly explain. NO ONE EVER CONTACTED ME, I NEVER HEARD OF THIS, I was informed by the XXXX XXXX Representative, that XXXX XXXX have sent numerous letters/notifications to my current address since XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX. 

The Ironic thing is I DIDNT MOVE TO PENNSYLVANIA UNTIL XX/XX/XXXX ( work relocation ), HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??? 
The bottom line is, NO ONE FROM XXXX XXXX, EVER CONTACTED ME, THEY CIRCUVENT WORKING TO RESOLVE THIS AND SIMPLY ADD THIS TO MY CONSUMER 'S CREDIT REPORT. as soon as I became aware of this, I immediately paid the XXXX dollars, which I would have done, IF I HAD KNOWN THERE WAS AN ARREAR from a XXXX apartment. 
The representative from XXXX XXXX, informed me that If I paid this collection, the would remove this from my consumers credit report, I PAID THE COLLECTION THE SAME DAY, AND IT ONLY SHOWS PAID AND NOT REMOVED, MY CREDIT REPORT AS DECREASED BY XXXX points due to this. 
I'm not disputing if the arrears are mine, I'M SAYING THE PROCESS XXXX XXXX utilizes is against the law, the consumer MUST AVE SOME PROTECTION from lazy credit collection agencies who don't want to contact consumers, just add this negative life changing collections to the consumers account and force then to contact us, THIS IS ILLEGAL, PLEASE PROTECT THE CONSUMERS, THIS IS RIGHT PEOPLE!

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: W&A Intermediate Co., LLC (CA)

I received stitches in XX/XX/XXXX for which I eventually received two separate billing statements. The first was reported through my medical insurance ( XXXX ) and I was able and did pay it in full. The second ( from XXXX XXXX ) was received later ( again through XXXX ) and did not have any way to pay. I never received any bill that gave me a way to pay. I tried calling numbers listed on the documentation that went nowhere. 

Recently ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I found out through XXXX that I had an account in collection ( with Wakefield and Associates ). I received no other notice that this was pending, and again, had never had any opportunity to pay. I contacted the collections agency and paid the debt immediately ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 

This never should have gone to my credit report, and XXXX XXXX needs to change its unethical practices. I also understand that the collection agency needs to notify me before the credit agency- this notification never happened.

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. (FL)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a one time payment of {$240.00} to XXXX XXXX as a XXXX gift to my sister. This was a car payment for her, which was due on XX/XX/XXXX. As I mentioned, this was intended as a one time only payment. I have since signed back into the XXXX XXXX  website, and discovered that my banking information was retained on the website. This enables anyone, at any time to sign into the account and use my finacial/banking information for additional payment. Ii is unclear to me whether or not this information of mine can be assimilated to other accounts for access to my checking account. I have made multiple inquires to XXXX XXXX  to have this information removed. They stated the payment was done by a third party service, XXXX, offered by XXXX XXXX. They also stated they are unable to remove my information from their website and that only XXXX/XXXX  XXXX can do so. I frankly find it difficult to believe a company can not remove information from their own website. The payment was entered on the date indicated above. It was posted to XXXX XXXX  's website immediately. The account number it was posted to is : XXXX. Account holder is XXXX XXXX. XXXX. Vehicle VIN # is : XXXX. Payment confirmation # from XXXX/XXXX  XXXX is : XXXX. My request is to immediately and permanently remove my banking information from XXXX XXXX 's website. I feel it is not right that information is held without my permission. The account information in question is posted on the website as XXXX XXXX XXXX. There is a radio button next to this account information which gives immediate access to my funds. I am enclosing additional documentation to substantiate this.

XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) reported a collection on all XXXX credit bureaus incorrectly for {$240.00} in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX for myself and my spouse/co-borrower. I was never contacted by XXXX XXXX, but I did call them several times and offered to pay for the damaged carpet. They told me I would receive an invoice, which never came. 

However, since I am in the process of applying for a home mortgage with XXXX, I paid the debt in full since they agreed to send me a paid in full letter and would contact each reporting bureau and request the item to be removed. As of today, they have not contacted any agency. I have contacted all XXXX, uploaded disputes, Paid in Full Letter, DL and utility bill. XXXX removed the collection within XXXX hours. XXXX and Equifax have not. 
I have worked hard on my credit and this is the only collection noted in years. I wanted to fight the remarks, but my loan XXXX said to just pay it. 

Thank you

In response to Wells Fargo 's closure to my complaint ( ref # XXXX & XXXX & ) I'm again very displeased with the lack of accountability and total disregard of the financial harm inflicted on all victims of Well Fargo 's Pick-A-Payment mortgage loan that it so sanctimoniously stands behind and thereby supports. Once more Wells " special '' representative assign to review my complaint called on XX/XX/19 to inform me of her findings and again to my disappointment it was evident that she had investigated for closure rather than for fair and amicable resolve. I had to once again explain that the Modification once approved by then XXXX did nothing to provide any sustainable financial relief, but rather placed my outstanding payments due on the back of the loan with no interest rate or payment relief. When I went on to once again explain that by accepting the so-called " Modification '' the terms forfeited my rights to pursue any legal action ( have supporting documentation ), she seemed unaware and unfamiliar with my complaint and to the degree of Wells legal responsibilities.Please now be advised that I've hired the law firm of " XXXX XXXX XXXX  '' and in correspondence with my District Attorney XXXX XXXX for a full investigation, but keep standing behind this destructive loan product and the unjust decisions that were made along the way.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (FL)

Capital One performed a hard inquiry on my Credit File without disclosing or asking permission after issuing a Credit Card to my Corporation. 

The Corporation has a good XXXX and XXXX and Capital One without authorization or notification pulled a personal credit file. 

Furthermore this hard pull was completely unnecessary as I have been a customer of theirs for over 4 years. They could have just as easily seen that i have NEVER had a late payment. They could have done a soft pull to satisfy their own curiosity if needed I need to reiterate this was a Credit Card issued to a business. A corporation and not an individual by any means. I did not sign a personal guarantee. 

There was absolutely no justified reason that this should have happened. 
When i called them to complain and demand that they remove it, i was given the run around and eventually told that they didnt KNOW HOW or KNOW WHO could undo their misdeed ...
