On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a letter to Experian notifying them that I have NEVER lived at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The addresses are business addresses which would make it impossible for either location to be my place of residency. I asked them to delete both addresses and any associated accounts that may be associated with this false information on my report. Experian failed to delete the addresses. ( See the attached letter ). 

I also notified them of the inaccuracies on the XXXX XXXX  Account No. XXXX. They claimed the account was verified after I pointed out that they were reporting the wrong date the account was first reported. They show two different dates one says the first reported date of XX/XX/XXXX but the account history shows the date first reported was XX/XX/XXXX. Which one is accurate? How is this consistent? 

I also asked them to investigate XXXX XXXX Account No. XXXX as I do not recall being late XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, or XX/XX/XXXX. In accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ) ( ii ), if you are unable to verify the payments were late ; please update the account to show OK/never late/pays as agreed. They did not respond with proof of me ever being late. 

I received a response from Experian XX/XX/XXXX saying the accounts were " VERIFIED '' and updated, however, the errors are still being reported after I pointed them out. Clearly, this information doesn't make sense and a proper investigation was not performed.

XXXX and TransUnion are both reporting a public record on my credit file. On my XXXX they have the court listed for this public record as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. First, I am not a resident of Connecticut nor have I ever lived there. Just to go through the process I contacted the court clerk at the court listed and they had no record of the published docket number as well as stated they do not report to the credit bureaus. When I asked XXXX where they received the information they stated that the court provided the information to the bureau and that was a lie. Transunion did not ever provide a court name for me to contact. Just as XXXX stated the court furnished this public record to the bureaus TransUnion is stating the same thing which is untrue because again no courts report to the bureaus. TransUnion does not even list a court name to contact, but as the clerk of the federal court stated NO FEDERAL COURTS OR ANY OTHER COURTS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE REPORTS TO ANY OF THE CREDIT BUREAUS.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX AND XXXX XXXX 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.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (AZ)

This was early 2000s, well Fargo claimed to be point of sale on debit. Instead, they would batch transactions, processing the biggest ones first and assess multiple overdraft fees for every tiny transaction. My situation involved a double charge by another business. Over a weekend. Instead of processing transactions in date and time order, they processed the largest ones and assessed me over {$300.00} in overdraft fees. They refused to correct it. I feel they ripped me off and lied about being point of sale. If you use a debit, it should be processed in date time order.
