Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: T.S. Holdings (CA)

I was contacted after my balance went to collections from a apartment community I had vacated from back on XX/XX/2018 with a written notice. 

I had a lot of financial hardships at that time that prevented me to pay on time and I did not have an address to provide for any mail that needed to be forwarded. 

I received a call from a representative at I.Q Data international who was very hostile and used threatening language towards me stating, that they will come after me. They continually harassed me for months at a time. 

They currently have a collection on my account that goes up every month due to interest but the balance is incorrect, which I tried disputing in I believe XXXX of 2018 through XXXX XXXX but it did not help. 

I went on to I.Q Data international website to see if I could find the amount due on the account and it shows incorrect. The balance reads the following : Original Principal Balance {$7400.00} Current Interest Balance {$2200.00} Current Balance {$13000.00} Current balance on my credit report States {$13000.00} When I add my Principal balance and Interest balance it comes out to : {$9700.00}. This is a HUGE difference. 

Please help me get rid of this collection, this company is hard to deal with and to communicate with and has reported false and incorrect information to the credit agencies. Documents are attached showing the balance discrepancy.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (MO)

I have noticed that PNC BANK have placed an inquiry on my XXXX  credit file dated XX/XX/2020. As you probably know, Credit Reporting Agencies treat inquiries as a statement of fact and will not allow a consumer to dispute them. I requested both PNC BANK and XXXX to verify these inquiries. Since it is against federal law ( Fair Credit Reporting Act -- 15 USC? 1681b ) for an entity to view a consumer 's credit report without a " permissible purpose, '' I am writing to inquire as to their alleged purpose, for doing so since I did not apply for employment with their organization nor did I request credit from their organization. Based on the evidence in my possession, this inquiry was performed under false pretenses as described in the clear language of the law. 15 USC 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) states, in part, " in the case of liability of a natural person for obtaining a consumer report under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose, actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure are { { {$1000.00} } }, whichever is greater ; ''

I have disputed a fraudulent hard inquiry now twice in the last few months after noticing it on my Equifax report. The first time I was never notified of result. This second time I received a letter from Equifax that they are continuing to investigate and could not get in contact with the company making the inquiry. The company making the inquiry on XX/XX/2020 XXXX XXXX, when I good them, they are a scam company. 

Two requests to dispute the inquiry, and several months later, no action is taken to remove this inquiry that the Equifax originally says on my account should have been gone from report after 3 months - it's still there.

CHRYSLER In XX/XX/2020 Chrysler offered Covid payment deferment, however, failed to mention it could take 45 days and they would report you to the credit companies for late payment if any payments we paid late even with APPROVAL of deferment. Our account was current, filed for deferment, we were told it was placed on our account as approved, and then next month was informed on our credit monitoring that the payments went in our credit as LATE PAYMENT, hurting our credit scores tremendously. 
Since then I have written two letters to the resolution department for Chrysler, I have been informed there is apparently no other way to contact them, no phone number just a PO BOX . And have yet to get this situation resolved. 
Not only do they have a terrible customer service layout for settling this type of issue but the representatives do not give full or accurate information on your account or details on what their " programs '' entail. 
This remark on our credit is inaccurate and should be removed immediately.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

We refinanced two mortgages by Wells Fargo bank to consolidate them into one affordable rate mortgage. They made us believe that was what we got. A few month after we realized that they had sold the second mortgage to a third party without us knowing about it and that in fact after the refinance out mortgage payments was higher than before the refinance. That was devastating to us and forced us to sell our home in a short sale process. We had a bad credit as the result and to this day we are renting.
