Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (OR)

On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX during a family vacation I attempted to use my Capital One card and found out it was declined. This card was both my primary business and personal credit card with multiple recurring charges connected with the daily operations of my business. 

On Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Capital One and after several hours of holds and transfers discovered my credit card account was closed due to a notice from XXXX. Because of the XXXX holiday, I had to wait until XX/XX/XXXX to  contact both XXXX and Capital One regarding this matter. 

On Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX I again contacted Capital One and after another hour of holds and transfers spoke to a Fraud Department Supervisor regarding the matter and learned that XXXX had unilaterally contacted them and closed the account claiming it was opened fraudulently. Capital One then sent me an affidavit to sign and have notarized proving that I did open the account and it was n't opened by another individual. 

On this same day I contacted XXXX and after another hour of transfers and holds I was told by a supervisor that based on a fraud alert I submitted to them, they did in fact close my Capital One account. They closed this account without notifying me even though they have my contact number and email on account ( also listed on the report I submitted ). The supervisor offered no apology for their error and actually tried to claim I stated the account was opened fraudulently in my report. I am attaching the report to this claim and it clearly states that someone attempted to access and change my account profile, not that the account was opened fraudulently in my name. A simple review of my card 's history would show it was in good standing and paid in full each month. 

I originally submitted the fraud alter as the attempt to access my account profile was the unfortunate way I learned my information was compromised due to the XXXX data breach. 

Due to the actions of XXXX I lost about one full day of my vacation dealing with phone calls, finding a notary and remitting all my information to prove the account was in good standing. Additionally, my business suffered harm as vendors went unpaid and services were terminated costing hundreds of dollars. 

To date, my card account is still closed and I am still suffering damages and spending time trying to mitigate future damages. I am still waiting to see how this affects my credit score which was in the XXXX 's. Additionally, XXXX has still not contacted me nor sent any correspondence.

Company: Professional Bureau of Collections of Maryland, Inc., GREENWOOD VILLAGE, CO Branch (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX, Professional Bureau of Collections of Maryland contacted my  husband and tried very hard to convince him that this was my student loan debt. My husband knows we are timely with all of our payments and did not believe them and told them I would call them back. When I called them back, they could not verify the account number given to my husband, they could only verify his phone number called ( red flag # 1 ). I explained to the lady that this was not my loan as I consolidated years ago, she proceeded to tell me that loans fall through the cracks and I needed to pay ( red flag # 2 ). I told her flat out this is not my loan and that she is committing fraud. She asked me to verify my social, I refused, she gave me my social ( red flag # 3 ), she asked me to verify my address, I refused, she verified my address ( red flag # 4 ). I asked her for proof that this loan was mine, she asked me for my email and I refused. I told her she has my address she can mail it to me. This has caused me so much stress. I thought this would be the end of the situation, but on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a collections letter ( in my maiden name ) stating an account balance of {$9900.00} with the Original Creditor as XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have never banked with XXXX XXXX XXXX or pulled loans from them. This debt is not mine, I regularly check my credit report and have never seen this debt. I also confirmed by checking the National Student Loan database and it is not listed. I receive numerous calls daily, which I do not answer, please help resolve this fraudulent debt and have them stop harassing me and my husband. Thank you.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I write to express my extreme dissatisfaction and distress upon uncovering severe inaccuracies during my recent investigation of my credit report. The unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items discovered have not only caused severe XXXX but have also highlighted a blatant disregard for reporting accuracy by your agency. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly demands 100 % accuracy in credit reporting. Unfortunately, the accounts under 15 U.S Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) are in direct violation, as they fail to provide information that is 100 % accurate. 

I have attached copies of all previously sent letters to your agency, outlining these violations. This letter serves as an urgent demand for immediate action to rectify these inaccuracies and ensure compliance with the legal standards mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

The emotional toll and severe impact on my well-being due to these discrepancies are unacceptable. I expect a swift and comprehensive resolution to this matter. Failure to address these issues promptly will force me to explore all available legal avenues to protect my rights as a consumer. 

I anticipate your urgent attention and a timely resolution to this matter.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MI)

The major credit reporting agencies currently charge consumers for a credit freeze. 

It is unconscionable that these companies use our personal information without consent, and do not properly protect the data in their care ( see the recent XXXX breach ), and then charge us to freeze our credit reports. 

All credit report freezes/unfreezes should be free, especially in the light of the recent XXXX breach that put 140 million people at risk of identity theft. Credit reporting agencies should n't be able to profit off of their own negligence by charging their unwitting and unwilling consumers for a credit freeze/unfreeze.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (GA)

American Express opened 2 credit cards in my name fraudulently and they refuse to honor my statement that these were fraudulent accounts and they state there reason is because I made payment on the accounts, however I never made payments on these accounts, whoever opened the accounts must have made payments on the accounts, because it sure was not me. I have never paid on these accounts. I have also had fraudulent bank accounts opened in my name as well. They continue to attempt to collect a debt that I have made them aware of did not belong to me. I have contacted them and made them aware that this debt was as the result of identity theft, and they have refused to stop trying to collect the debt and continue to report this fraudulent account against my name and social security number. They have further more been provided a copy of my police report, identity theft affidavit and they continue to ignore the fact that this account does not belong to me. When I have attempted to speak to this company they have been very disrespectful to me and have tried to force me to pay a debt that does not belong to me. I feel that this company is trying to extort money from me over a fraudulent debt. My personal information was compromised in 2010 and every since then I have had people open all sorts of accounts in my name using my correct personal information that was obtained from the identity theft. This debt that they are trying to collect from me is absolutely not mine and they have defamed my character by listing and continuing to list this fraudulent information against me. A part of defaming my character they are also continuing to violate the FCRA Section 605B by refusing to remove this information they know to be fraudulent from my credit reports. <P/>Account Number XXXX Account XXXX XXXX

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NY)

To Whom It May Concern, It was in late XXXX XXXX 2017 when I attempted to use one my 3 chase cards, of which I used frequently and relied on daily, that my card suddenly started getting declined. Having always relied on chase and rarely having had any such problems, as I was sure I was a good customer who paid his bills and and did as any other, this came as quite a shock but I did not think much of it. It was only when I soon called in to inquire about the declined charge that my relationship with chase was suddenly torn into pieces and thrown away. It seemed as if in a heartbeat I went from a good customer to a customer which they care nothing about and are willing to throw out and forget about. I was told over that phone call, vaguely, that for reasons they can not disclose and will not disclose my accounts had all been shutdown, all my personal credit cards, bank accounts, and safety deposit box has been immediately and permanently shutdown! This unfortunate series of events caught me in a stage of shock where I had no clue what to do. All of a sudden it seemed as if a big part of my life revolved around chase and it was now all gone for reasons I did not even know or to this day will never know. I was told that I will get a letter to inform me about this and thinking that it will hopefully clarify what happened I was wrong. All the letter mentioned that I was no longer a customer chase wanted to do business with and therefore they abruptly shutdown all my accounts. Not only that but they went so far as to shutdown my mothers accounts as well which I found completely rude, unprofessional, and uncalled for. I always believed I was a good customer with chase who paid promptly and was risk averse if anything and I would at least like to know what I did wrong so I can avoid doing so with other banks in the future although I truly do hope to rebuild my relationship with chase if my accounts do get reinstated. These events have caused my credit score to drop and less attractive to other banks as it now shows my accounts were closed by the issuer and also ruined my average age of credits along with other things.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (AK)

On XX/XX/XXXX, when paying my credit card online I accidentally added a XXXX, paying {$30000.00} rather than the intended {$3000.00}. This was in excess by about {$24000.00} to what I owed and twice my credit limit on the card. I called Bank of America to request a refund on XX/XX/XXXX. They said they would issue a refund within 6-7 days. No refund was issued in that time. On XX/XX/XXXX I called Bank of America again and was assured that the refund of {$27000.00} ( the over payment amount ) would be made by XX/XX/XXXX at the absolute latest. No refund was issued. I called again on XX/XX/XXXX. I was told the refund was not being processed because Bank of America wanted proof from me that the money was taken out of my account ( i.e., they wanted me to provide a bank statement before they would process a refund ). Bank of America made no efforts to contact me in this time with this request for verification and simply did nothing until I called third time and insisted that some thing be done. I was made to fax in my bank account statement to prove that the money was sent to Bank of America and that I was not refunded. I have now been told the request for a refund will be expedited and refund will be issued in 24-48 hours, but they also said it might be 6-7 days.

Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc. (PA)

Aidvantage apparently holds a XXXX XXXX student loan with myself as the co-signer. I say apparently because I can not log on to their site to get information. When I enter either my information or my sons, their site states that there is no account. Yet I continue to receive emails from them stating that my account is past due. 

The studentaid.gov site lists no XXXX XXXX loans through Aidvantage. 

My credit report lists a loan with Aidvantage. It is in the amount of {$18000.00} and states the payment status is current. It claims that the loan is more than XXXX XXXX XXXX and the original loan amount was {$12000.00}. If I was making payments on a loan for 9 years, how could I owe {$5000.00} more than what I borrowed.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Ditech Financial LLC (DC)

The escrow unit of my mortgage servicing company, Ditech, is supposed to manage and submit payments for real property tax as well homeowner 's insurance. I received my Real Property Tax Bill for the XX/XX/XXXX year from DC and the bill indicates that the real property tax for the second half of XX/XX/XXXX was never paid. Therefore there is an outstanding balance plus a penalty as well as interest. I called DC to confirm that there was indeed an outstanding balance and they calculated the numbers with me over the phone and confirmed that there is indeed a balance. They also told me that because escrow missed this payment, I could request a waiver of the penalty and interest. I then called Ditech to ask them what happened with the missed payment and to get the payment taken care of. First, they told me i received a surplus return from my escrow which has nothing to do with the outstanding tax bill. Second, they told me that Ditech did indeed make the payments. However, I told them that was not true because DC calculated the numbers and I checked the payment history from the escrow, and that payment was in fact not paid. The person i talked to insisted it was paid and tried to hang up on me and said he confirmed this with the manager. Finally, he let me speak to the manager who then put me in touch with the tax department. The tax department claims they never received the bill and said they would take my word for it to make the payment. I told them to make sure they take into account and also request the waiver of penalty and interest so there is no over-payment. They obviously were trying to get rid of me and quickly hung up. I have no confirmation that they will contact DC to get the correct amount or follow through with payment since multiple people gave me different answers. I also have no confirmation that they will request the waiver of interest and penalty fees. Please get this resolved for me so i dont continue to lose money like i did last year when Ditech refused to request an enormous refund i was owed by DC for a massive overpayment. Thank you.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (NY)

I have a TD bank credit card. 
They had the wrong address for me and so I was not receiving my bills for a few months.My unit is XXXX and all my TD bank mail was sent to unit XXXX and I was not getting any of it. Although I tried a few times to get it corrected it took a really long time. In addition I did not have online access since I did n't have my card because it was mailed to the wrong address they had and I needed the card to set up online access. So I was sending payments from my personal bank online bill pay and it took a long time for it to get processed since my bank needed to snail mail the payments out. During this time I had 2 late payments over 30 days less than 60. 
These are the only late payments on my credit report. 
I called TD bank and they said I should file a dispute with XXXX and get back to them. I did. under file number XXXX. I stated my reason that the address was wrong and so I was not getting my bills. The investigation came back with no changes. 
So I called TD bank and spoke to XXXX who says her ID is XXXX. And she spoke to her manager. She told me because it was n't a 'bank error ' they could do nothing about it. 
She suggested I file another dispute. She said there was no other department to talk to. 
I pointed out it would be silly to do the very same thing I did and expect different results. 'But nothing Right now I just want to talk to someone who can clearly explain the matter and work with me beyond just telling me to do what I already did. Thank you
