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

On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo XXXX regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: Grain Technology, Inc. (GA)

I have tried making multiple monthly payments on my credit line with Grain and also tried to pay the Service Charge they are requiring me to pay to even withdraw from my credit line and their website or app will not submit the payment. Ive reached out to customer service via email XXXX times in the past 2 months to get the issue resolved and they keep telling me its a banking connection issue. It takes 4 or 5 days for someone to even respond to my email, and even then its just a generic response, you cant call anyone, you cant chat with anyone and you cant get any issues resolved but they are saying Im still responsible for making the minimum payment or reflects negatively on my credit report. How can I make a payment if their app wont let me? How can a company that offers lending not have a customer service option you can talk to? My account has been set up on auto pay since I opened the account and yet they have not auto deducted the payment this month but customer service says Im still responsible for getting the payment made. The CFPB needs to step in with this company and file a class action and sanctions against grain for taking advantage of the people and not giving them reasonable options to contact support and get issues resolved and make timely payments. Please help

XXXX has repeatedly contacted me regarding this loan account and subsequently reported me as in collections to all of the major credit bureaus. I do not have any responsibility for the debt that XXXX is trying to collect and I dispute its validity. XXXX XXXX ( loan originator ) provided a promissory note that dictates that default occurs once the " Borrower does not make any payment before or on the date it is due - according to their documentation the loan in question defaulted in late 2010. As the promissory cites Pennsylvania as its governing law, which has a 4-year statute of limitation on debt, this loan is unenforceable and XXXX has engaged in unfair collection practices.

I bank with Wells Fargo and have been for over 10 years. I was viewing my last statement from XXXX to XXXX and I paid {$240.00} in overdraft fees. Six of them were in a 2 day period!! ( from XXXX to XXXX )!! I noticed that I was able to make purchases while in overdraft when I shouldn't have been able to. THIS year alone, I paid over {$770.00} in overdraft fees!!!! That's almost {$1000.00}!!! I've spoken to a personal banker, who couldn't refund ANY of it. Also, my car was repossessed in XXXX thru XXXX XXXX XXXX ( my lender ). I owed {$1400.00}. to get it back and paid {$1200.00} with the promise to pay the remaining {$200.00} when I got paid. I called and needed a few more days and they'd already sent my car to auction. When I got it back, they rekeyed my car and gave me a simple key with no fob to open my car with and didn't even start the car. Used my old key and fob to enter and start the car. Got a bill for {$290.00} for the key ( like a house key ) made for {$3.00} at XXXX and incurred monthly late fees for nonpayment. I didn't authorize my car to go to auction, didn't authorize a key, and couldn't afford the {$120.00} to file in small claims court because the battery was dead ( sat in the heat and got bad ), had to buy a new one, headlight ruined, and items missing from car. Need help with the predatory practice and the 18 % interest maybe. Each payment is {$6.00} processing fee. XXXX payments is {$180.00} in fees to MAKE the payment!!!

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 which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you 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. The XXXX  are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.
