Company: VYSTAR CREDIT UNION (FL)

On XX/XX/2023 I made a transfer of {$50.00} from my savings to my checking BEFORE I made a purchase to XXXX  to ensure the money was in the account. On XX/XX/2023 Vystar Credit Union debited my account for a courtesy pay in the amount of {$29.00} ; however, there was nothing for the credit union to cover because I put the funds in the account. I have screen shots of my account AFTER making the transfer and it looks like someone intentionally tried to withdraw {$50.00} from the checking account but the funds were debited from the savings account. This has happened three times in 14 days and the last time I reached out to Vystar to have the fee reversed the customer service representative told me that it would be the last time the credit union would reverse the fee. The financial institution is charging bank fees to customers when no courtesy pay has occurred.

I have been working on my Experian credit profile and I noticed there is an incorrect addresses on my report. I am writing to dispute the errors on my credit report. I request that these errors be corrected immediately. Enclosed, please find copies of the relevant documentation that support my dispute, including. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. The INCORRECT Addresses that should be deleted are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX and there is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX. I am under the impression that it seems as if a company has taken advantage of obtaining my personal address for their benefit. There is a huge risk of having the incorrect address on my consumer report because this could potentially be identity theft. I know that under the following law the CRA has to delete inaccurate information. 1681i. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy section ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. Lastly, see the below where there must be maximum accuracy and unfortunately they are not practicing this law. 1681e. Compliance procedures Section ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (TX)

My compliant is not only that the amount reported to the credit bureau may be incorrect but that they have misrepresented the information on the account which has led to miscalculating how long it remains on my credit report. 

Therefore, I am not sure that any of the information is correct since the account has been clearly reaged before reporting to XXXX credit bureau. Now causing it to be on my credit report for longer than 7 years. 

History : The original debt of {$300.00} for a XXXX XXXX XXXX managed by XXXX XXXX. Due to financial and medical hardship, I became delinquent with this account in the summer of XXXX ( around XXXX ). It went into collection status and although I tried to make periodic payments to the collection agency which totalled to about {$900.00}, there was still a remaining balance due to their continued increases in the amount due which was very questionable when the original debt was only {$300.00}. However, I believe XXXX may have held it for a long time causing the tremendous increase in the amount due. 

The other issue is that when Midland bought the debt in XX/XX/XXXX they may have reaged the delinquency date by reporting it as a new delinquency account after buying the debt from XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. As a result, it makes it look like the delinquency date started in XX/XX/XXXX rather than in XXXX of XXXX when the account was with XXXX bank. 

As a result, this has manipulated the date of removal and/or how long it stays on my credit report with XXXX.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NY)

I have a checking and saving account with Citibank and I live in NY. I was vacationing with my family in Maryland, Washington State and Viginia. I use the checking and saving account through Citibank as my only source of income. The bank however on XX/XX/23 blocked my account without notice via text or call, I called the bank and I was informed that it is possible suspicious activities on my account. The representative who appeared to be working from remote in another country verified all transactions with me but still told me my account will remain blocked and I have to wait for the bank to send a new debit card to my home. I was left stranded in another State with no access to funds to return home. I had to borrow money from an individual to bring my family back to new your and also cover other expenditures. I had no access to my own money. I made efforts to speak to a supervisor and did not receive a call back. This is unfair to me. I had no access to my own money I worked hard for. There was no consultation with me prior to blocking the card. There was also no communication with me around what or any merchant that may have compromised the security of the card. There was also no resolution to my issue regarding access to any funds to help my family return to NY.

Courts are not subscribed to or required by law to provide public record information to credit reporting agencies, and credit reporting agencies have a responsibility to report consumer information with the highest level of accuracy.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TN)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
