Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (VA)

Account # XXXX I challenged the accuracy, compliance, validation and reportability of this listing. Please validate and provide method of validation to investigate this account with XXXX XXXX XXXX and ask them to provide me with the validation associated with this account. I noticed that every month the company keeps reporting it as a Charge off ( CO ) which is resetting the account activity and re-setting the delinquency date creating different last activity dates on each report. After an account is charged off it is a dead account and no interest or activity should be completed on the account. Each credit report is showing a different last activity date which I attached in the complaint below. Lastly, I also noticed the difference in term duration on the loan for each report which I also attached below. XXXX reports the term duration as 1 month, XXXX reports it as 0 months, and Experian reports it as 51 months, this is an inaccuracy. In the absence of not providing the method of validation, I formally requested that this information be immediately deleted from the credit file they maintain under my Social Security number. I requested validation, made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I further reminded that they may be liable for your willful non- compliance, as per FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies [ 15 U.S.C . 1681S-2 ] [ 15 U.S.C. 1681 e ]

My savings account was used unauthorized by this company online that I currently use. They kept telling me that it was my fault for accounts to change from my current to the other. 
Not true at all. When I saw my payment not go through, I went into account and hit the PAY NOW button ... not realizing my account was switched. They keep blaming me for mishap and not themselves. I'm am very irate. These people are completely XXXX XXXX They always read script-like, telling me they can resolve by me making a new payment. I paid all my bills assuming this was paid because my history of payments are ALWAYS the same. I would have to go out of the way to change my payment options KNOWING there is no money on that account.

I am writing to express my deep frustration with the ongoing issue of fraudulent account XXXX XXXX - Account Number XXXX XXXXXXXX that is listed on my credit report, despite my repeated efforts to have it removed. I have called XXXX and they can not provide me with a contract, a date that this was opened, nor prove that it was me who opened a lease/ loan with them. The information they have on file is clearly NOT me. I have been disputing this fraudulent account for over a year now and it still remains on my credit report. This situation has taken a significant toll on my mental health and well-being and I have reached my breaking point! 
Previously Equifax deleted the fraudulent item on my credit report, but it has now been added back on without any written notice.

On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX an electronic letter was sent from XXXX through my online banking for an account that was in the negative - {$4.00} ( Ending in XXXX ). In the electronic letter the bank mentioned the account was ultimately closed in XX/XX/XXXX due to the account being in the negative. However, I was not aware of the status of my account until XX/XX/XXXX when I tried to log into my account and viewed the letter. In XX/XX/XXXX, I tried to open an account with another bank and I was denied due to critical information that was being flagged on my consumer reports. I am unable to open any other accounts with banks that I have applied to, which tells me there must be some critical information on there that will not allow me to do banking with any other banks. XXXX is the only bank that I have ever worked with and had a great relationship with until my account closed. The only incident that I can think of that could be tied to this was back in XX/XX/XXXX a company by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX sent a check to me under their financial services check system however, XXXX updated that check as invalid. I then contacted that company and expressed my concern, and I was told that some of the information was incorrect on the check and that another check would be sent out, which they did send back out and I tried to cash that check but once again the bank updated it as invalid. After that incident I chose to no longer communicate with this company due to this company invalid check activity on their part. The account was put in the negative because of this company 's actions, which was out of my control. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX bears responsibility for this. I am requesting for XXXX to remove any negative flags on my account if there is any in regard to this account as I was not notified previously if the account was being closed for any other reason, otherwise I would have disputed it and provided any information requested. I am also requesting for Early Warning Services to also remove any negative flags on my account in regard to this account and also send a copy of my report. This is causing an extreme hardship since I can not have any direct deposits/paychecks at this time.

I have requested multiple times for the Method of Validation as to who is reporting this, as there is a bankruptcy that has popped up on my credit report. As it is verified by the US Bankruptcy Court Of Kansas. I in fact have attached proof from the US Bankruptcy Court Of Kansas, stating that they do not report to any of the credit bureaus. So I am filing a complaint on behalf of myself, as they either have sent me a stall letter or have said it has been validated with the US Bankruptcy Courts Of Kansas.

A XXXX package that was sent to my address ; it included my phone number. Upon opening it and the envelope inside, I realized that it was a credit card in someone else 's name. 

I went back and checked the XXXX envelope and the address on the paperwork and it was definitely my address/phone number. After doing some research I realized this was some type of fraud ; being concerned about how things could devolve, I thought it best to submit a report here.

Company: HW Holding, Inc (FL)

I am reporting a collection on my credit reports and challenging its validation. As of XX/XX/2024, there has been a collection account added to my credit report with the XXXX bureaus by XXXX XXXX. It is stated that the original creditor is PREMIER PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. The balance is {$1500.00}. The account numbers among the XXXX bureaus seem to not match- they are truncated. Also, it is very doubtful that the collection agency will be able to produce an original hand-signed contract. Lack of proof of contract means no authority to report or collect. Innacurate, incomplete, and unverifiable accounts are a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. When an item on my report falls under XXXX of those XXXX categories, the credit bureaus MUST remove said item. Please assit me in having this erroneous and incorrect item removed from my report as it is negatively impacting my credit scores.

A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate. I know this is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA so they must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party.

Synchronicity Bank promoting identity theft I've been with Synchronicity Bank for almost 8 years. They suspended all of my 8 cards because I needed to verify my Social Security number because they said that somebody called and tried to act like they were me. In which their customer service agent got angry and close all of my accounts without my consent. I did not know they were all closed until I tried using one of my current credit cards. I had to call Synchronicity Bank to let them know that I do not close up all my accounts which were tiresome and frustrating. I mailed in my personal information on XX/XX/XXXX they told me they could not read my handwriting. I'm XXXX and because of that I knew my writing was difficult to read, so I sent a copy of my Social Security card with it to verify my information. Synchronicity Bank said that was not good enough for them so I had to e-mail my personal data. So the following letter that I received was on XX/XX/XXXX. I mailed it and took it to the post office on XX/XX/XXXX. I was inconvenienced because I had drove to the post office and handed it to the person behind the counter. I called on XX/XX/XXXX. They still didnt receive personal information. I then called on XX/XX/XXXX they still have not received my personal information. I called on XX/XX/XXXX they still received my personal information with my Social Security number and my address and my birthday on it my information. I called today, and they still have not received my information, so right now my personal information is lost!!!!!!!!!! We live in a time when identity theft is common, especially since they said that I called and close up all of my accounts. Synchronicity Bank is promoting identity fraud because they do not have a secure website where you can upload your personal information to them ..so right now, my personal information with my Social Security number, my address, my birthday, and my name is out there!!!!!!!!!! Synchronicity Bank the way they handle people 's personal information is unacceptable. 6 of my accounts that I have open for 10 years I can not use, and this is unacceptable and embarrassing, and frustrating my limit was started at {$3000.00} and because of my perfect payment history Synchronicity Bank raised my credit limit to XXXX now I have can not use because they don't have my personal information and I can't they can not verify who I am!!!!!!!!!! Synchronicity Bank 's practices are ridiculous and dangerous there's nowhere in the United States that you mail a letter in Georgia Synchronicity Bank has a Florida address so right now, my mail is lost. This is very concerning. Synchronicity Bank needs to have better, safer practices when sending information people 's personal information.
