15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report are NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX is reporting this information. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 A ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, Collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately.

Any inconsistency, incompleteness, inaccuracy, or omission of the reported item serves as a oddity from the mandatorily utilized reporting industrys own Metro 2 Data-filled Field Formatted reporting compliance standards, of which there can be NO DEVIATION without JEOPARDIZING THE INTEGRITY OF THE DATA ( see XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and as so is lawfully questionable until evident confirmation of all aspect ( s ) of claim ( s ) are factually true, correct, complete, timely, physically verifiable, and elsewise undeniably valid particularly if not certifiably compliant in full according to the abovementioned Metro 2 formatted industry requirements. With that in mind, please consider the suspect reported data fields alleged for this now contested reported items of injury.

I had a debt with a car loan. The debt was sent to collection agency. I paid and settled with the collection agency to resolve the debt. This was almost 2 years ago. All 3 credit report bureaus removed the debt after I submitted a letter from the collection agency. They reported it as {$0.00} owed. 6 months ago ONLY Equifax showed there was still as amount of {$2900.00}. Everyone shows {$0.00}. I started a dispute. contacted the original company as well as the collection company to confirmed. Both agreed it was resolved. I submitted my letter to Equifax. It is now 2 months later and this STILL shows up. Ultimately, as of yesterday it cost me getting a car loan at 8 % to now 10 % ... .that {$70.00} more a month times 72 months for their in correct information. I am very frustrated and do not know where to turn to have this removed. Ironically, the added payment is more than even the original debt. This is not fair to consumers and I feel i have to accept this blemish on my report from equifax ... note : IT'S MY ONLY BLEMISH ... 
Original Debt : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who totally botched : Equifax

This debt should have never been sent to collections, it is erroneous and needs to be removed.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (GA)

Mom ( XXXX ) has me transfer all her banking to XXXX XXXX  ( XX/XX/XXXX ) from Wells Fargo which include an IRA account With a maturity date of XX/XX/XXXX. My branch manager @ XXXX  & I filled out all paperwork, including POA verification- it was sent to Wells Fargo address on XX/XX/XXXX. 
XX/XX/XXXX, notified by XXXX that Wells Fargo sent paperwork back- transfer request had to be made on WF forms. Papers resubmitted. 
XX/XX/XXXX : still no word about IRA. Called XXXX IRA number on statement. On hold total of 2 hours. Agent explained problem was they did not have my POA. They never ask requested my POA, which is 12 pages long. Agent said no problem- Go into my local WF with my POA in hand & they would cut a check to XXXX  right there on behalf on mom. 
XX/XX/XXXX : Next day, went to local WF- told them why I was there. Branch manager wouldnt see me- sent me to employee who informed me that everything agent said was wrong. WF policy would not allow. Immediately sent copy of my POA via registered mail to XXXX XXXX- WF investment center . 
XX/XX/XXXX : confirmed POA was received @ XXXX XXXX via USPS tracking. waited ... .. no word. 
XX/XX/XXXX : Called local WF employee. He confirmed they had received my POA & check should be cut in 3 days. 
XX/XX/XXXX : I went to WF to find out why 3 weeks later my moms IRA was not at XXXX. 
Employee once again calls XXXX XXXX- gets run around- he has to escalate. No resolution. 
XX/XX/XXXX : went back to WF, now they say check cut in 5-10 working day. Totally unacceptable. Mom needs her money & we are tired of being taken advantage of. She is a very independent XXXX & I have just had to start helping her with her finances. Unfortunately I found out too late she was one of seniors that credit account opened for her by WF. That is why her WF bank employees were all new every time I took her there. 
I have just received word via phone that they have cut the check & MAILING it from XXXX XXXX to XXXX in Georgia. This is ridiculous that they can not transfer via wire immediately. Mom & I are both very upset. She is so glad she has moved her money out of WF. I dont  believe a word they say & its really scary to think of those seniors that bank with them that Dont have someone to look out for them.

XXXX XXXX  Amount : {$53000.00} XXXX Personal Credit Line : {$60000.00} When spouses divorce, and the one spouse is supposed to refinance, and deliberately fails to do so, the mortgage lenders have the discretion to honor the divorce decree or not by removing the non-responsible party from the Mortgage & Home Personal Credit line.

However, if they choose not to, they don't offer any alternative solutions to the spouse who, by a legal divorce decree, isn't responsible for the loan, which also states that states no party is permitted to continue extending credit to either party using both names. Credit can only continue being extending in their own names. 

They merely suggest court and contempt of court charges which actually leaves little to no recourse for the divorced spouse to actually force a resolution, as sending someone to jail for contempt doesn't actually solve the problem, particularly when the other parties intention is solely to harm the other party, in any and all ways that they can. 

Not only is this financial abuse from the ex-partner, the mortgage company is facilitating it, when they dont follow their own procedures by foreclosing on the property when this ex-partner continues to not pay. 

While obviously NOT ideal, a foreclosure would at least provide the non-responsible spouse an actual end to the financial abuse that the bank is facilitating by failing to honor the divorce decree. 

Mortgage companies should be required to stipulate who is responsible for the mortgage & any Home Credit lInes in event of divorce and remove the other party from the loan after a divorce at the time of the signing. They should allow for amendments to be made if something changes too.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NY)

on XX/XX/XXXX while shopping for airline ticket Delta lured me to apply for DELTA Gold Skymiles American Express card by offering free 1st bag checking plus {$150.00} statement credit if I apply for the card buy the ticket using the card. I applied for the card but when I continued the check out process I was surprised that there was no option to use the card that I had just applied for. Instead I had to complete the purchase using other credit cards. Instead of completing the checkout I contacted American Express and explained the situation and asked if I get the benefits if I buy the ticked using other card if I get approved for the DELTA Gold card advertised and was told that to get the benefits I have to be approved first and actually receive the card in the mail to use it. So I decided to wait. However, this was my second surprise because it took only seconds in the past to be approved for American Express Gold, for XXXX and other cards that offer their applications online with immediate use after the approval. While representative from Amex told me that their approval may take 3 to 4 business days.
So I took the chance of tickets not being available at a later date and decided to wait for a new card. When online status showed " In Progress '' a week later I called American Express again and was transferred to their new application division. They told me that because of the technical glitch it will take another 48 hours. This was on Friday,XX/XX/XXXX. And the promise was given to me by the floor manager XXXX XXXX When I called back following Tuesday,XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX said that they still have a technical issue and many applications for DELTA Gold are being held and promised final decision in another 18 hours or by XXXX XXXX  Wednesday, On Wednesday the status online was still " In Progress '' and when I called XXXX XXXX was not available. As of today,XX/XX/XXXXthe status still shows " In Progress ''. I find it hard to believe that it takes such a long time for American Express to approve or disapprove an application while other companies are doing this in seconds. I find it even harder to believe that American Express will take more than 2 weeks to fix a technical glitch if it is a technical glitch.
