Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I applied for a loan, at which time my bank informed me that I had two gas cards that I had not paid the balance on. One had a balance of approximately {$80.00} and the other {$120.00}, This information is wrong, and I have tried calling Equifax for a solution to this incorrect data. Equifax makes it next to impossible to report incorrect data. 

For example, I log into Equifax and follow their process to dispute a claim. Yet, the credit cards in dispute do not show up!! I have been at this for days. 

I respectfully ask for your assistance.

on XX/XX/XXXX I reached out to Experian, XXXX, and XXXX via cell phone concerning credit inquiries that i did not authorize. I explained to the customer service reps that I am constantly receiving emails with offers from various credit card companies offering to extend me credit, and that if i put the last 4 digits of my social security numbers in that i could check how much credit i could qualify for without it reporting to my credit profile, But when I checked my credit report i discovered that i had in fact received hard inquires from those credit card companies. The representatives from each company ( XXXX, experian, XXXX ) Told me that they could not me remove those inquires from my credit profile even though the FCRA says I have a right to dispute any unauthorized items that may appear on my credit profiles. These companies house our information without our permission, and when something is wrong or inaccurate they treat you like you are wrong about your information, and that there is nothing that can be done when your credit profile is being reported inaccurate.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (ID)

A couple times last year XXXX and again this spring- a fraudulent account was opened under my name for a Bank of America card. I have XXXX XXXX and they alerted me to this activity and helped me report it and close the accounts with Bank of America. I thought the issue was resolved. I even got a letter saying it was resolved from Bank of America. Recently my husband and I applied for a construction loan and had to have our credit report run. It shows an open account with Bank of America on the report. I called them again yesterday and the customer service agent was not able to find any open accounts under my name, SS # or DOB. Our credit union suggested I file a complaint with you since it was reported on our credit report. Luckily the balance was XXXX, but it was an account opened in fraudulent ways and was supposed to be closed and blocked.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

In XX/XX/2022 my business office and drawers was broken into and my checkbook was stolen. This incident happened during XXXX XXXX. On Monday XX/XX/XXXX I went to the Wells Fargo branch at XXXX, CA ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) informed them about the theft, and asked them to shut down the bank account. They did close that bank account and set up a new bank account for the company and transferred balances. However, later on when we were reviewing bank accounts, we saw that two of the stolen checks ( with the old account number )

had been deposited and cashed out of the new bank account on XX/XX/XXXX. We have tried handling the issue with Wells Fargo bank, but Wells Fargo bank has not refunded the money to us. It seems that there was no point in closing the old account and reporting the theft because the bank did not stop the payment for the stolen checks. We would like this issue to be resolved with the bank.
