Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (OH)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for a Wells Fargo credit card online at wellsfargo.com. Shortly after submitting my application, I received a notification from XXXX indicating a credit report pull attempt, which I then realized was due to my frozen credit report. 

After removing the freeze from my credit reports, I reapplied and received a notification that the application required further review. Wells Fargo then contacted me via text message requesting additional information. Upon contacting them, the representative informed me that they couldn't access my credit report and needed my authorization to pull it. I provided this authorization under the belief that no prior report was obtained. The representative then pulled the report and forwarded it for underwriting. 

However, I later received a letter stating that my application was denied due to a lack of credit report. Confused, I reauthorized the credit pull. This time, the application was denied due to too many recent credit card openings within the past XXXX  months. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered XXXX hard inquiries from Wells Fargo, all initiated on XX/XX/XXXX. Since I was previously told my report wasn't accessible, I contacted Wells Fargo again requesting the removal of XXXX inquiries, as they seemed unnecessary. Unfortunately, they declined my request.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

I hope this letter finds you well. I recently obtained a copy of my credit report and noticed multiple discrepancies, including unauthorized inquiries and conflicting information on the same accounts across the credit bureaus. 

These discrepancies include differing account numbers, dates of last activity, last payment dates, balances, account statuses, and original balances. The listed accounts are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I request that you provide me with complete documentation related to these accounts. This should include the original contract bearing my wet signature, full transaction history from the date of account opening to the present or closure, and any other documentation used to verify the accuracy of the accounts. 

I want to remind you of your obligations under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), which necessitates following reasonable procedures to assure the maximum accuracy of the information relating to the individual on the report. 

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), in the event of any disputed information being found inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during any reinvestigation, the consumer reporting agency must promptly delete or modify that information and notify the furnisher about this alteration or deletion. 

As such, I expect a thorough investigation into this matter. If you're unable to provide verifiable proof within XXXX business days after your investigation, the disputed accounts and/or the listed information must be removed. 

Enclosed you will find copies of my ID and a utility bill for identity and address verification. 

Looking forward to your prompt attention to this matter.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Subject : Dispute of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and Experian, I am writing to dispute the inaccurate and damaging bankruptcy entry that is appearing on my credit reports with all three of your credit reporting agencies. XXXX is the only credit reporting agency that is publicly furnishing this information, and despite my repeated attempts to have it corrected with all three agencies, the error persists. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I am entitled to have accurate information reported on my credit files. The inclusion of this bankruptcy entry is not only false but it is also negatively impacting my credit score and ability to obtain credit. 

Furthermore, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) Section 809 ( b ), it is unlawful for a credit reporting agency to report inaccurate information that has not been verified. I have not been provided with any verification of this bankruptcy entry and therefore, it must be removed from all three of my credit reports immediately. 

I am also requesting that each of you fill out and return the attached disclosure statement regarding all existing accounts to ensure that full accuracy is reported. This will help to prevent any further inaccuracies on my credit reports. 

I am requesting that all three credit reporting agencies investigate this matter and provide me with written confirmation of the removal of the inaccurate bankruptcy entry from my credit reports. I also request that corrected copies of my credit reports be sent to me and any other entities that have received my credit information within the past six months. 

Please provide me with a written response within 30 days of receiving this letter confirming the removal of the inaccurate information and the completion of the disclosure statement. Failure to do so will result in further legal action being taken. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in 60 days to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports XXXX
