I was charged {$26.00} by Experian today, and I do not want to be charged. I don't even remember agreeing to paying that much monthly, so I went to the website to try to cancel my account and it told me my payment failed and I needed to add a new card. So they were trying to charge me ANOTHER {$26.00} to be able to manage anything on my account, because the payment method " failed '', then I tried calling because it's either that or through mail? Got an automated system, which said they were going to transfer me to a person and said it'd take less than XXXX minutes, and I ended up not even getting to talk to someone.

I have already had this debt collection removed once since I provided the credit agencies with an email from XXXX XXXX that I returned the equipment. I have the email here attached from 2021. Now XXXX of the credit agencies are reporting it again. One is not and that one is accurate.

I already returned this equipment and an agent of XXXX told me in-person when I returned this equipment that this would not affect my credit and my account and balance with that company, XXXX, would be fine and not in default, or in bad standing. That agent guaranteed me that my account was current and fine. 

Again, this would already resolved in 2021 and removed from the credit agencies once and now it's back on again with two of the three agencies. This is unjust.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (MI)

On or about XXXX I spoke to a Citizens Bank Customer representative to make a total payment of {$4700.00} to my mortgage, during which time I specified that among the payment {$730.00} shall be applied to my regular payment and {$4000.00} shall be applied toward my principal. A total payment of {$4700.00} was withdrawn ( as one entry ) from my Citizens Checking Account on or about XX/XX/. 

On or about XXXX however, per Citizens Mortgage, the {$730.00} regular payment was processed and {$4000.00} principal payment was " reversed, '' while I had sufficient funds in my checking account. 

As of today, XXXX, 2 weeks after the return, the {$4000.00} funds were still not returned to my checking account, nor was it applied back to my mortgage payment. I tried to follow up with Citizens mortgage multiple times, and until XXXX  I got a most recent update where I was advised that the funds were returned to me, however, the representative was not able to or failed to disclose, where, how and when was the funds returned to me. I requested transaction ID/tracking/confirmation information for their alleged return of funds, however, none was provided to me. They were also reluctant to disclose what is the processing time for the funds to be returned to a checking account with the same bank ( Citizens Bank ). 

At this point, I am concerned that Citizens Bank has mistakenly forfeited my {$4000.00} and refused to return same to me, while they were not able to provide any reason for said return/reverse either. 

I reserve my right to file a legal action against Citizens Bank if this issue is not resolved immediately.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

Previously I've looked over a copy of my consumer and noticed that there are accounts and information thats reporting either inaccurately or doesnt belong to me at all. There are multiple names and addresses that arent mine along with a collection account stating that I owe them a debt. I have no knowledge of this creditor reporting this account nor did I give them any consent to obtain my personal information and share it. I cant owe a debt if there was never an agreement to pay on any balance between me and the creditor. If they cant provide any verification that we had an agreement, then this account was never mine. I feel as though my right to privacy was violated in which as a credit reporting agency Equifax must respect that right. Reporting an account or information thats not verifiable or accurate must be removed from my consumer report immediately. It is Equifaxs duty to do whats fair and equitable for the consumer in which reporting inaccurate information and accounts to my consumer report isnt fair nor equitable for me. Anything that they report on my consumer report must be accurate.

My card has been declining at every store, both in person and online, despite me having an available balance. Because the company refuses to help with this, I turned off autopay on my account and said I would not be paying until they did something about the issue. Today my bank account has a pending charge for XXXX from the company, and when I go into my account I see autopay was turned back on and a one time payment was made in the same amount. I never authorized this charge or agreed to turn autopay back on. This is fraud.
