Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

I am filing a complaint against Experian for failing to address multiple unauthorized and inaccurate entries on my credit report. Despite XXXX 's thorough investigation and removal of these items, Experian has continued to report the following unauthorized accounts and an inaccurate late payment : 1. **Unauthorized Accounts** : - XXXX XXXX, Account number : XXXX - XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Account number XXXX XXXX XXXX. **Inaccurate Late Payment** : - XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX I have previously sent dispute letters to Experian, yet my disputes were marked as " verified '' without a proper investigation or notification of the verification method. This is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Experian has failed to provide the method of verification as required by FCRA - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ). 

Experian 's negligence also breaches the requirements under FCRA - 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which obligates credit reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information reported. Additionally, the continued reporting of inaccurate information from XXXX XXXX XXXX violates the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) - 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( b ), which mandates accurate billing and correction of errors. 

Despite providing substantial evidence and XXXX removing the disputed items, Experian continues to report these inaccuracies, causing significant damage to my creditworthiness and financial standing. This negligence has resulted in emotional distress and potential financial losses due to higher interest rates and denial of credit.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (TX)

Below what I sent to the mortgage company Carrington Morgage Services LLC XXXX ID # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CA XXXX As I learned the details of my account today, I wont call this a dispute but I will appreciate your time to understand the events that unfolded and caused my account to go under balance which caused payment issues with Carrington and eventually affecting my credit score. 
Below key events - From the very beginning I set up with Carrington Mortgages website bi-weekly payments, not only to accelerate payments, but also to have piece of mind due to my high frequency of out of the country flights. 
- You can see by my history that my bi-weekly payments have been executed without issues until XX/XX/XXXX, that I am now learning it had been returned due to insufficient funds in my account. 
- During XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I suffered from unauthorized charges in the same XXXX XXXX XXXX account I use to pay my mortgage, I submitted the claim to XXXX XXXX XXXX as soon as I realized ( and I was back in the States ), the claim report is attached below, you can see the amount of {$2300.00} which made my account lower than usual and for what I normally prepare for mortgage payment. 
- All this time, the bi-weekly setup have been working without any flags and calls to my attention to highlight the underpaid situation, I do acknowledge that monthly statements have been reflecting it, however the electronic statements can only be accessed by go to the website and no hardcopy is sent ( I do not recall getting any since setting up digital statement ) - Additional attachments is to demonstrate that I was out of the country in early XXXX and I returned on XX/XX/XXXX. 
It is a lesson being learned in a hard way as there is no piece of mind setting up electronic statements nor bi-weekly payment, and as I acknowledge it, I am hoping that you recognize that the number of events that unfolded, created a situation of confusion ( XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ) and more importantly it caused me to go underpaid in my mortgage. Not having a proper mechanism to flag it in Carrington website aggravated the whole situation. 
Ill appreciate your consideration on removing the negative flags in my credit history for XXXX and any other month affected onwards.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 to be removed/updated.

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.

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!

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX)

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am writing to file a complaint regarding unauthorized transactions on my Wells Fargo Bank account. Despite my efforts to address this issue directly with Wells Fargo, my claim has been denied, and I have encountered difficulties in resolving the matter. 

I have identified numerous unauthorized transactions on my account, specifically from two merchants, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. These transactions were not initiated or authorized by me, and I have made several attempts to rectify this situation through Wells Fargo 's dispute resolution process. 

On XXXX of XXXX, I initially filed a dispute for all the transactions in the account ending in XXXX, with claim no XXXX. 

Despite providing all necessary documentation and information to support my claim, Wells Fargo has denied my request for reimbursement or investigation into these transactions. This denial has caused financial distress and significant inconvenience. 

I tried calling them several times to find out the reason for this denial. In one scenario, an executive mentioned that they are filing the dispute again and they will resubmit the claim, the very next day another executive from the fraud department mentioned they can not file a second claim on transactions. Then who is saying correct. I Strongly believe they didnt even do a proper investigation. They can listen to the recordings because every call is being recorded on their end. 

I hereby request the intervention of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure that proper action is taken to resolve the unauthorized transactions on my account. 

I am seeking a swift and fair resolution to this issue and request your assistance in compelling Wells Fargo to investigate these unauthorized transactions promptly. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt action in resolving this dispute. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
