Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

On XX/XX/2022 I discovered hard inquiries on my XXXX, Experian, and XXXX credit reports. The following institutions had requested my credit information from the following credit bureaus : XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Experian : XXXX XXXX  ( twice ), XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I do not recognize these institutions, nor have I applied for any product with them, especially XXXX that would require my credit information. 

I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They claimed they had no record of my information or a request for a financial product in their system. I asked them to then correct the hard inquiry. I was told they can not fix the hard inquiry because there is no record of an application containing my social security number. 

I called XXXX XXXX XXXX, but the number listed with the hard inquiry on my credit report was not a valid number. 

I called XXXX XXXX, but they, ike XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, claimed they had no record of my information or a request for a financial product with my social security number attached to it, in their system. 

Experian does not provide an option to file an online dispute against hard inquiries. I called Experian 's phone line but could not get a live a representative. I called their corporate office for help, but was repeatedly transferred to the same line that did not provide a live person to talk to. After numerous calls to get help, I reached a man named XXXX who said that Experian had no responsibility to remove the hard inquiry or do an investigation around it, and suggested I go directly to the creditor, by mail, and have it removed. However, he could not give me any instructions on how or where to contact the creditors to get the hard inquiries removed. 

XXXX does not provide an option to file an online dispute against hard inquiries. I completed an online chat with XXXX, and the representatitive insisted that I have to go to the creditor whom placed the hard inquiry to get it removed. I explained what had transpired when I contacted the institutions to have them remove the inquiry, but XXXX insisted that it was not XXXX 's responsibility to remove it or even verify that the request for my credit information was a valid request. 

I was able to file an online dispute with XXXX regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have yet to hear back from them.

I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus on XX/XX/2021 regarding fraudulent, inaccurate and unverifiable items on my credit report.

I demand these accounts be blocked, deleted and removed from my consumer report immediately or I will file for litigation. I am trying to obtain credit and these inaccurate, fraudulent and unverifiable items are preventing me from doing so.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (AZ)

On XX/XX/XXXX per the FTCs recommendation I reported multiple fraudulent transactions occurring on 2 credit cards to Chase Bank. The FTC ruled them fraudulent since the company involving the transactions is a scam and stole copyrighted source code and used that code to build their program and sell it as their own. Chase canceled the cards and placed temporary refunds on each account. They said they would investigate and contact us with their decision. On XXXX and XX/XX/22 respectively they reversed the refunds with no explanation and I have yet to receive any updates as to their decision on the investigations.

Under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically referenced in 15 USC 1681a Section 603, a 'consumer report ' encompasses any information communicated by a consumer reporting agency that reflects upon a consumers credit-related attributes, including credit worthiness, standing, and capacity, as well as character, reputation, personal traits, or lifestyle. Such reports are instrumental in determining a consumer 's eligibility for credit, insurance, employment, or other authorized purposes as delineated in Section 604 [ 1681b ]. 

However, it's crucial to note the exclusion clause, ( 15 USC 1681a Section 603 ( 2 ) which states that information pertaining solely to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity does not constitute a 'consumer report '. This encompasses reports on transactional payments and credit utilization experiences. Also according to section 604 A section 2 : also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. I have never given any agency or entity written instructions to do so. According to 15 USC 1681c. section 605 ( a ) ( 5 ) states no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information : Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. 

Upon meticulous review, it is evident that this exclusion and the above-mentioned regulations have been repeatedly violated by credit reporting agencies and the entities reporting to them, as listed below. These violations have directly impacted my credit standing and financial opportunities. The dissemination of information beyond the permissible scope as defined in the FCRA represents a clear breach of my rights as a consumer.

Issue: Billing disputes — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (VA)

I purchased a bed under a promotion from Macy 's using my Macy 's card in XXXX of 2014. The promotion was 1 year no interest if paid before year was up. I set up to receive bills through XXXX Bill Pay online and pay {$75.00} a month in response to bill received. {$75.00} was the amount of the bed divided by XXXX to be sure it was paid by the end of the promotion. That was not the minimum payment, they do not give you the correct minimum payment to meet the promotion, they give you what they consider a minimum payment. Every month for 11 months I received a bill into XXXX and a payment of {$75.00} was initiated, except for XXXX 's bill. It was not received, therefore the payment was not automatically initiated and paid as it had been for the past 11 months. So when XXXX 's bill arrives into XXXX, it had a late fee and all of the accrued interest charged. 

I called Macy 's and was given absolutely no help. They said they would do a XXXX time courtesy waive of the late payment since I had a perfect payment history. I was then told that in order to initiate an inquiry they would need me to pay all of the past due, which included the interest. I paid the past due only and told them to get the account to someone that could handle it. I should not have to pay then wait for them to refund my money and I refused to do so. I have yet to hear from Macy 's and I have called as well as sent secure messages through their website. When they asked why I had not made the payment I explained that the bill had been delivered to Quicken for all but the last month of the promotion, ironically I might add, and that was why the payment was not made, it was automatic. 

I have asked everyone I have talked to why I would pay more than the minimum payment every month to meet the promotion but not pay the very last month? No one has a good response, because it makes no sense. 

In my opinion this is a fraudulent way of collecting money from consumers by using their reliance on payment systems. Macy 's knows that I use XXXX and they also are in control of sending the bill monthly. There is no way around this being anything but fraud.
