I discovered an unknown medical account dating back from XX/XX/XXXX on my Experian credit report so I filed a proper dispute with Experian by way of certified mail as they are the only credit reporting agency that is reporting this unknown medical account. The certified letter was sent on XX/XX/XXXX Experian received it on XX/XX/XXXX and I received their response XX/XX/XXXX. Experian said that XXXX had verified the account and if I had any other questions concerning the account I should contact the collection agency. I sent XXXX a letter by certified mail on XX/XX/XXXX which they received on XX/XX/XXXX asking them for validation of the account but I have never heard anything back from them. I sent another dispute letter certified mail to Experian on XX/XX/XXXX stating that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX had not responded to my validation request and has provided no verification of any kind for this account. I also included in the second dispute letter to Experian a copy of the letter I sent XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and proof of their having received it.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CO)

Back in 2014 I went in for a free consultation for XXXX through a company called XXXX. After deciding not to have any treatments done whatsoever, I was sent a bill with my name that had a line of credit for {$2000.00}. I then started receiving bills to pay off the balance that I did not owe in the first place. About three months later the company went black nationwide, just overnight the company vanished and every facility was vacant. Since then my account through XXXX was sent to a collections agency XXXX. I have sent XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX after XXXX, sending a handful of letters and complaints through them to XXXX, but the only thing that has changed on my credit report is it states CBG ( Closed by grantor ), unfortunately this does n't mean that it has been wiped clean from my record at all. I need this fraud of a company removed from my credit report once and for all because it is causing a lifetime of damage from applying for a small loan or credit card, to renting an apartment or car.

I was charged for {$3000.00} for property insurance and county and city taxes although I did not own the property, the new owner was on title. The taxes were paid for the new owner, double paid. I had to pay the entire amount as the property was already taken to foreclosure and the new owner would have filed a law suit against me, my attorney and real estate agent.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (MA)

I have had a non active checking account for many years. 
It has held a {$5.00} balance as a local branch person told me to keep it open. 

XX/XX/2017 the bank assessed a dormant fee of {$10.00}. These are terms they just dreamed up I guess. Banks do n't earn money they fee people. 
I contacted via online through the onlne banking system. I told them to reverse the new made up fee and to close the account and send me the {$5.00}. 3 TIMES Reached the call center today after receiving a collection letter for their made up fee reiterated the entire story to some " Business banking specialist '' and they maintain their XXXX stance on their fee. 
Was n't this the same bank that was scamming people on forced placed insurance a while back too.

Company: Aargon Agency, Inc. (NV)

In XXXX, 2014 I received a collection notice from Aargon Collection Agency ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, NV XXXX ) requesting payment for {$7900.00} for an alleged medical bill. 
I immediately responded back, via certified mail, requesting some form of documentation, financial acknowledgement or media. 
After careful review I noticed their was n't any social security number, treatment date or a breakdown of any services provided. 
I wrote back to the collection agency advising them to contact their client and have the account removed, because clearly this was n't my debt and I was never a patient at the facility in question. 
Recently, I pulled my credit profile and noticed the collection agency placed this balance on my credit report knowing they had the wrong person! 
Aargon Collection Agency has clearly violated FDCPA and FCRA and has placed inaccurate information on my credit report knowing they have the wrong person.

Issue: Credit monitoring or identity protection — Problem cancelling or closing account
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (WA)

As of XXXX XXXX, 2016 I became aware that I was a victim of identity theft. I have since contacted all three credit reporting companies, including Experian, and found out that apparently whomever had stolen my identity had also gone so far as to establish an online credit monitoring account with Experian as well. So far, as of this morning there are multiple " inactive '' accounts with my personal information like ; SS #, Date of Birth, address etc that are presently associated with a completely different name. I have spoken to the Experian credit monitoring service a total of ( 4 ) times within this past week, with the most recent being for 2 hours yesterday over the phone, and they continue to tell me that these accounts can not be closed but they are inactive. Unfortunately, because of this I am unable to establish a member account online so that I may monitor my credit more closely in hopes to better avoid and prevent identity theft from happening to me again. I have tried on multiple occasions, waiting a minimum of 24 hours in between each attempt while also trying to create new accounts with new emails, passwords, payment information, etc. to no avail. I simply can not understand why there appears to be no one that can help me establish a monitoring account. You would certainly think that they would want my money for obvious reasons, but if for nothing else I would certainly appreciate someone helping to remove these accounts, however many there are, so that I may legitimately establish my own.

I was given guidance from the AG tofile this complaint with CFPB along with their inquireabout my case.

American Express send notice in the XXXX billing that they are changing their payment options in XXXX XXXX. In XXXX, an interest rate will be charged on any amounts that are not paid in full by the payment due date, which according to my XXXX XXXX bill, is 7 days from the date of when I received it ( yesterday, XXXX XXXX and my due date is XXXX XXXX. ) I have called American Express and they told me they would comply with all federal laws, but the way this notice reads, they are not. Your rules clearly say that they must give us 21 days each month to pay the bill. Currently, we are given a " please pay by '' date ( one week ) and a closing date which is approximately 14 more days after the " please pay by '' date ( and the correct, approximate 21 days that the law requires ). But the American Express notice states that the interest will be applied to any amounts that are not paid until the closing date. Please look into this and make American Express comply with federal law. Thank you.
