The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records. Please remove these items.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NY)

I had an AmEx card with an annual fee open for the past ~5 years. I thought I had closed this card and forgot about it without using it since pre-Covid. During this time Amex charged me {$250.00} in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and again this year all without having used the card for a single purchase or usage of card benefits/rewards in that time span. Thats {$1000.00} AmEx collected without any acknowledgment or any account usage whatsoever. 

When I contacted them to try to recover some of this, they did waive the most recent fee because it was still the same month ( and would only do so if I closed my account as well ). But they were unwilling to do anything about the past several years of fees. 

I fully acknowledge that I should have kept better track of this account, but AmEx should be better about notifying annual fees and identifying inactive accounts when charging high fees. It definitely gives off the sense that they do not care about their customers.

I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (WA)

Wells Fargo accepted a wire transfer from escrow to my deceased mother 's checking account despite it being for a trust account with me as trustee. The mortgage was also held by Wells Fargo. 
It took over 4 account specialists and 2 months for the money to be released. 
After illegally accepting the wire transfer to The XXXX XXXX XXXX in my mother 's personal checking, they claimed the proceeds of the sale of the condo ( for which they held the mortgage ) had to go through probate. I spent over 60 hours on the phone, three separate visits in person, and required over 4 different complaints and account reps to get it resolved. During this period my brother and his wife threatened me, reported me to authorities as illegally withholding inheritance from them, and asking friends to come after me to get their money. 
I suffered incredible emotional harm, and wells Fargo made it all worse. It took months for them to resolve the issue - and all I asked them to do was reject the wire transfer and return the money to escrow. I didn't even ask them to release it to me- just send it back to the people who had sent it. 
This was within a year of my mother 's death, and compounded with my grief and other responsibilities as executor, I was deeply traumatized by my experience. To this day, my XXXX child sees a wells Fargo sign and hisses saying " they hurt my mom ''.
