Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

On ( XX/XX/2022 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (FL)

I pay my balances every month so I do not incur interest fees. 

This month I paid the balance of the card, and 7 days later I was informed that the bank returned the incoming payment. It was not due to lack of funds- apparently there was a routing issue. 

I received a return check fee and interest fee I called and told the credit card company and they said they could not explain what happened and saw that I paid down the card to a XXXX balance but could not reverse any of the fees even though it was not of any fault of my own. 

I canceled the account and will vow never to do business with Citi for credit cards again but thought this was predatory in nature. I can afford to pay off my cards and balances but some can not. If they are treating me this way I can only image the horrors others are going through.

Consumer complaint received 2022-12-23
Product: Mortgage — Other type of mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (CA)

If I don't pay my bill in the first week of the month, the lender mails me a notice of my account potentially incurring a late fee, and this is before my payment is officially late. If I fail to make a payment by the end of the month, they immediately mail a notice of intent to foreclose letter to my house. I admit I have not been consistent in keeping my account current and the lender initiated foreclosure proceedings last year but I was able to get approved for a loan modification so maybe there is something in the paperwork that allows them to contact me with threats of foreclosure after one missed payment. During the loan modification process, they continued to proceed with the foreclosure, even though I had successfully submitted a request for assistance. At the time, I brought up the question of possible dual tracking, and they did not acknowledge my concerns. I feel this lender violates consumers ' rights and uses predatory collection practices.

Company: Convergent Resources, Inc. (ID)

For several months, I have been attempting to have a collection item removed from Convergent Outsourcing that has been reporting on my credit report. 

I have never had an account with XXXX and I do not know why it continues to show up on my credit report. 

I have tried disputing this information with Convergent Outsourcing themselves and they first provided me with an unknown name and address on the account. They admitted that the only thing that matched on the account was the last XXXX of my social. 

Convergent refused to stop reporting this information to the bureaus, so I then reached out to XXXX ( Account # XXXX ) and XXXX ( Account # XXXX ) to dispute it with them. I explained to them that I have never had an account with XXXX and I asked them to provide proof that this debt was mine. 

Neither XXXX or XXXX ever provided me with proof, but they both came back and stated that it was verified. 

Because of this deliquent account on my credit reports, I have been denied for a home mortgage, and I also have incurred higher interest rates for other credit cards I have since applied for. 

When I called and tried XXXX last time to have this item removed from my credit report on XX/XX/2022, Convergent Outsourcing made me pay them {$210.00} and after I made the payment during the phone call, they blatantly told me that they refused to stop reporting the item to XXXX and XXXX - even though they had just forced me to pay {$210.00} for a debt that was never even mine. I have this phone call recorded and I am happy to provide a copy of the call and blatant violation upon request. 

Having this fraudelent item on my report has cost me thousands of dollars and so much heartache, and I demand that it be removed from XXXX and XXXX and I also demand {$1000.00} compensation for the FCRA violation that all three of these consumer reporting agencies made against me when they KNOWINGLY continued to report false and fraudulent information on my credit report ( and not providing a single piece of proof that this debt ever belonged to me ). 

According to 15 USC 1681, Any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this subchapter with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( A ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} ; or ( B ) in the case of liability of a natural person for obtaining a consumer report under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose, actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or {$1000.00}, whichever is greater

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute a fraudulent account that has appeared on my Experian, XXXX, and XXXX credit XXXX. I recently discovered this unauthorized account, and I firmly believe that I am a victim of identity theft. I kindly request your assistance in investigating and removing this fraudulent account from my credit reports. 

Account Details : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2023 Outstanding Balance : {$140.00} Reasons for Dispute : 1.Lack of Awareness : I have always maintained a diligent approach to monitoring my financial activities and credit reports. However, due to the sophisticated nature of the fraudulent activity, I was unaware of the existence of this account until recently. This highlights the covert nature of the identity theft, making it difficult for me to detect the fraudulent activity at an earlier stage. 

2.No Record of Transaction : Upon thorough review of my financial records, I have found no evidence of any transactions or agreements with XXXX XXXX XXXX . This further strengthens my belief that this account is fraudulent and has been opened without my knowledge or consent. 

3.Violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The presence of this fraudulent account on my credit reports violates my rights under the FCRA. As a victim of identity theft, I have the right to accurate and up-to-date credit information. The inclusion of this unauthorized account damages my creditworthiness and may result in adverse consequences for my financial well-being. 

4.Legal Rights and Responsibilities : Under the FCRA, I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or fraudulent information on my credit reports. I am also entitled to a fair and timely investigation by the credit reporting agencies. Therefore, I kindly request that you initiate an investigation into this matter and take appropriate actions to rectify the inaccuracies caused by the fraudulent account. 

I kindly request that you promptly investigate this dispute and take the necessary steps to remove the fraudulent account from my Experian, XXXX, and XXXX credit reports. Additionally, I request that you provide me with written confirmation once the investigation is complete and the fraudulent account has been deleted. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and your assistance in resolving this fraudulent account issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information or documentation. I look forward to a swift resolution to this matter and the restoration of my accurate credit information. 

Thank you for your prompt attention. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (SC)

Experian has been abusing and furnishing my account with inaccurate information that should have been removed. My student loan DEPT of ED accounts name was changed from DEPT OF ED to DEPT OF EDXXXX XXXX. The furnisher sent them over a request several times to remove the account. I have conducted conference calls and disputes. Experian reps says dispute it but every time that I did, they submit verified. I asked for proof to who verified what they told me they can not do so. By law they are to do so. 

They are also suppose to report credit accuracy and by law they are not. I am afraid to submit anymore information other than the attached screenshot that XXXX and XXXX has honored the furnisher 's request but Experian has not. I am convince they investigation is not accurate because aid vantage advise they did not furnish anything to my credit report and will not until I default or do not pay. I am getting very tired of Experian for over a year. I am going to have to seek legal assistance at this point because its stressing me out and its not okay. 

I am tired of calling every morning before work on the phone for weeks and months to get no where or something they have been advised to move by the furnisher and they took it up themselves to combine my closed accounts together in one and instead of saying XXXX XXXX  which legally they know they can not because XXXX XXXX did not furnish anything on my report. They took my account that should be closed and combine the names. How unethical is that... 

Please someone tell Experian to remove this account enough is enough

I have disputed the accuracy of my credit report to Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX again XX/XX/XXXX And again on XX/XX/XXXX. There are reports of 2 bankruptcies and a collection from a company named portfolio recovery, that are not reported accurately and are not mine. Each time I disputed these items the credit reporting agencies said they were verified, I requested them to send me proof of signature or account numbers to verify the validity of these accounts being mine and their response was they do not have to send me proof that they verify item through automated service. I told them I do not consent to XXXX   or any other automated service because that is not proof of validity. This has caused a serious threat to my credit and livelyhood. I contacted the U.S. bankruptcy court and they said they do not verify anything to the credit bureaus. It is a violation under the fair credit reporting act to put derogatory marks on my credit report without verifying that information. I have made several attempts to rectify this situation. After filing this complaint pending outcome I will file a small claims suit against these 3 credit reporting agencies for defamation, negligent enablement of identity fraud and violations of the fair credit reporting act.
