Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

A charge off account is showing on my report & the creditor told me that I can not get a copy of the 1099-C document because they did not officially charge off the debt and they didn't take a write off which is a violation because it says on my credit report that it is charged off which equates to false reporting & not reporting 100 % accurately. FCRA violations refers to a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which is a federal law that regulates the collection, dissemination, and use of consumer credit information. Federal law requires that consumer reporting agencies follow reasonable procedures to ensure 100 % accuracy of the information contained in their credit reports. If a consumer suffers damages as a result of a FCRA violation they may be entitled to bring a private lawsuit against the CRA and recover actual damages, statutory damages, and attorney 's fees. These accounts listed on my letter are not 100 % correct and I demand them to be investigated completely.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 3-4 months.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (OH)

I have a variety of direct ( sub and unsub ) and stafford loans from my XXXX education that were originally through XXXX XXXX, but transferred to Navient. After completing my XXXX education, I worked for two years and then went to XXXX school. While working, I made consistent payments on the loan and I tried to set up an income-based repayment plan with Navient while in XXXX school, but was told ( incorrectly ) that it would make more sense for me financially to just defer my loans until after I complete my graduate program. In light of the recent suit filed against Navient on XXXX XXXX, 2017, I have now come to realize that my loans have been accruing interest this whole time, leading to more unnecessary debt for me, and profit for Navient. Had they not misguided me down this path, I would be in significantly less debt and making consistent payments on the loans.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (WI)

I took a no interest payment plan through XXXX XXXX that went to Wells Fargo. My monthly payments were supposed to be {$73.00} each month. Each and every month I paid {$100.00} toward the loan. I then began to get late notices from Wells Fargo stating that no payment had been made. So I made additional {$100.00} payments. They charged me a {$38.00} late fee and a {$1.00} minimum interest charge for a number of months. They initially waived some of the payment fees because they saw that I was making larger than expected payments and the payments were made before the payment was acutally due. They now tell me that I can not pay the amount early since their " system doesn't handle payments that way ''. I believe in the State of Wisconsin a bank can not charge for paying EARLY. I view this charge of a late fee and interest charge as a fee charged because I prepaid this account. No one at Wells Fargo seems to understand that. I will attach copies of two bills showing the late fee and minimum interest charge. I have a spreadsheet of payments I've made to Wells Fargo since the middle of 2020. I want Wells Fargo to REFUND ALL fees charged to my account, report my payment history as such, and comply with the law in the State of Wisconsin.

After a lengthly phone conversation in XXXX with somebody claiming to be from XXXX ( the XXXX I work for ) and from the Bank of Omaha, I was sent a pair of credit cards for my wife and i which I was not expecting, and there was a balance transfer of over {$2000.00} which they claimed came from my credit union and I never authorized. Got a letter on XX/XX/XXXX19 saying the balance transfer exceeded my credit limit. Credit union has no record of any balance transfer, but now this credit card company wants me to pay it, and the interest rate shoots from 0 % up to 24 % in two months! Got that letter XX/XX/XXXX19,  followed shortly by the two unsolicited credit cards.This puts my ( and my wife 's ) credit in jeopardy and is absolute fraud and theft! Shutting down all access to my accounts, big inconvenience and hours on the phone is what will become of all this. Called the XXXX XXXX number listed on the card, and some very rude customer service man there said I owe the {$2000.00} and that was that. Spoke to XXXX from the fraud department at bank of Omaha and she recommended I file this complaint! Currently have not received a statement from this company, and will not be paying it if I do.
