Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

I have filed disputes with Experian for the last 6 months and they are not investigating or sending method of validation as I have requested. They are refusing to investigate claims that are not valid. This statement is on my credit report : XXXX & XXXX XXXX ID SECURITY ALERT : FRAUDULENT APPLICATIONS MAY BE SUBMITTED IN MY NAME OR MY IDENTITY MAY HAVE BEEN USED WITHOUT MY CONSENT TO FRAUDULENTLY OBTAIN GOODS OR SERVICES. DO NOT EXTEND CREDIT WITHOUT FIRST VERIFYING THE IDENTITY OF THE APPLICANT. THIS SECURITY ALERT WILL BE MAINTAINED  FOR 1 YEAR BEGINNING XXXX. Experian has permitted inquiries which I have not authorized as I'm not trying to obtain credit because I'm in the process of disputing items that are not correct and this statement clearly states that Experian should not allow this to happen and I would like them removed. I have disputed two Bankruptcies : US BKPT CT IL  XXXX XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy ChapterXXXX-petition filed Original filing date : XXXX XXXX, XXXX Latest status date : XXXX XXXX, XXXX US BKPT CT IL XXXX XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy chapter XXXX-discharged Original filing date : XX/XX/XXXX Latest status date : XX/XX/XXXX and they are not investigating these or verifying they belong to me. The courts do not verify information and XXXX obtains public information which they state may not be  correct. I have contacted XXXX and my account in frozen with them and can ; t be accessed so how is Experian validating information XXXX says may be incorrect because they can't validate this information as stated on their website and dcoumentation they send you. I have 19 inquiries and I have not authorized any of them and would like them removed and several are from the same company multiple times.Experian is allowing these companies to update my credit reports based off information in the disputes that I'm providing during my disputes instead of deleting them for inaccurate information. They are not investigating XXXX  but allowing them to update an account that is  charged off with dates that don't make sense or add up. Experian is allowing inaccurate information to remain and are providing the companies with the disputed information to allow them to update my report incorrectly instead of deleting the information. I have not filed bankruptcy but Experian is reporting that I have and have listed two accounts as being in bankruptcy but yet XXXX  is not included. This  misinformation is enough for the bankruptcies and the XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX  accounts to be removed. I would also like the method of validation not verification but validation per FCRA to be mailed to me.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Account terms
Company: Credit Karma (AZ)

I have submitted a complaint about XXXX XXXX. After I submitted the complaint, they left an even more derogatory response than the one originally. Also, began the process of collections. I sent a check a long time ago to XXXX XXXX after an argument that lead to me asking my account be closed. The check was the total pay off amount. This was roughly a little over ago. Now, this was with the understanding during the argument that if I paid off the account we 'd call it " even '' and this account would be closed is perfect standing and no late payment if not able to be removed in full. I was told XXXX different things after being escalated to a supervisor. However, both worked in a manner of leaving a full positive remark of no mark at all. This is extremely unfair and causing financial issues as I 'm going into adulthood. It 's hard to find an apartment, I ca n't get a car loan, and I do n't even get to take out any credit to get the car I have fixed. It 's upsetting because I was XXXX when I opened it and I had no idea to keep track of all supporting documents. I did n't even think something like this wa possible. I have no control over my own credit report. Instead I have to state my case and pray justice is served.

Commerce Bank withdrew funds from my account, caused me to overdraft, all because the check that was written had a similar account number. Similar in the means that it was n't my account and that the bank had an error when dispersing the funds. When I called the company they told me I would not be able to use any funds for XXXX to XXXX hours because they had to submit a formal complaint and go through the process. Even though you have bureaucratic ladders of things you have to go through the company could rectify this in a matter of seconds. It would be as easy as posting the image of the check and discussing why the funds were incorrectly withdrawn. Now I have no money and I am in a real big rut today as my bills are due and I have insufficient funds to pay them.

Company: W&A Intermediate Co., LLC (GA)

Subject : Urgent Request for Removal of Unauthorized and Unverifiable Item from Credit Report Dear Wakefield & Associates, I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unauthorized reporting of items on my credit report by your agency. I have never provided consent for Wakefield & Associates to access my credit report, and this infringement on my privacy raises serious concerns of identity fraud. 

I want to emphasize that even in cases of permissible purpose, the consumer 's consent is paramount, as outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( B ). Additionally, Georgia state law, under Georgia Fair Business Practices Act ( O.C.G.A. 10-1-390 et seq. ), requires consumer consent for such activities.

I have not granted permission for the inclusion of this item within my consumer profile, rendering the reported item unverifiable. I demand the immediate removal of this unauthorized and unverifiable item from my credit report, in accordance with FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and relevant Georgia state laws.

I assert my right to have this matter resolved within 30 days from the receipt of this complaint, as mandated by FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( i ) and corresponding Georgia statutes. Failure to comply within this timeframe will be considered willful noncompliance, in violation of FCRA Section 616 and Georgia state law.

Additionally, I request that Wakefield & Associates provide a written document from me, the consumer, that explicitly grants permission for your agency to access my consumer profile, as required by FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) and Georgia law. This document should be submitted promptly. 

I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves, in compliance with both federal and Georgia state laws. I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and expect a resolution within the stipulated timeframe. 

Done in good faith.

Chime closed my account suddenly without notice saying that my transactions seemed suspicious. As a XXXX XXXX I get electronic deposits and pay bills all the time for payroll and re-imbursements, expenses, etc. The the items in question were no different than any other that Chime processed in the past so I was quite shocked. They told me on several occasions and repeatedly over several months, that a check would be mailed for the balance in the account which if I recall, was over {$6000.00}. I never received call backs, emails, or mail as promised by them and I finally gave up after about 6 months of attempting to resolve this. They would never put me in touch with a supervisor or manager, only that one would contact me. At the time, I had to borrow money just to pay my bills until my next pay arrived to a new account I set up. I even tried going to Chimes top level bank that owns them which I forge the name now but it was one of the big ones like XXXX or XXXX.
