Hello, Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a phone call from " ARA, Inc. '' telephone number XXXX.

The guy also mentioned to settle the account " Right AWAY '' with him via phone for {$2400.00} and that he will waive all the interest and charges fee. I replied by saying " NO, I do n't owe anyone anything, and I do n't recall that information. '' He said that this account was open XX/XX/XXXX. 

After that, he put me on hold and transferred me to another guy named XXXX XXXX, he wanted to settle the case for {$1400.00} if I provide him with my credit card information otherwise they will take me to court and sue me for total amount {$6400.00} plus attorney fees which will be over {$10000.00} total. 

The guy I spoke to has ALL my information such as the last XXXX digits of my SS number and my wife 's information. He also has my bank name and how much credit I have with XXXX Credit Card. He was forcing me to give him the information otherwise tomorrow morning, they will charge my credit card for {$6400.00} because they have some legal rights to do this. He told me to " Think about it '' and that this " this {$1400.00} offer is just for TODAY only '' and he will call me later. 

I received a call later from a different telephone number, XXXX, XXXX, from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I told him to send me a paper statement with this issue and he hung up the phone. 

I spoke to one of your representatives, Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, I told her about what had happened, she said this issue seems like a fraud case and this claim is too old due to the statute of limitation in XXXX is XXXX years and now I am living in XXXX and the statute of limitation is XXXX years, if they take you to court, go to court and show the judge the statute of limitation for XXXX states. She also mentioned to file a complaint with you, Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AR

Complaint:
XXXX is reporting a {$27000.00} balance on my account, and showing it as a charge off on all XXXX major credit bureaus. My online XXXX account shows they received over {$14000.00} for my vehicle that was illegally repossessed. It shows the payment posted on XX/XX/XXXX, yet on XX/XX/XXXX they also again reported a {$27000.00} charged off balance, instead of the {$9000.00} balance that my XXXX account shows. They also still have not subtracted my service contract amount of {$3500.00} that I was not allowed to use, never used and never received paperwork on. I have disputed this since I purchased the car in XXXX because I was forced into it after being told it came with the new car purchase, which is deceptive practices. I was never notified of the sale of my vehicle either. I want XXXX to completely delete this account from my credit report immediately since they have continually reported wrong information and refused to fix it. There is no reason that they should be allowed to continue to cause me further financial and credit harm.

State: TX

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX : transaction occurred on my Wells Fargo debit card for the amount of {$2400.00} XX/XX/XXXX : Wells Fargo detected suspicious activity and started declining future transactions XX/XX/XXXX : I called Wells Fargo after checking transactions to confirm that indeed some of the pending transactions were not recognized by me XX/XX/XXXX : Wells Fargo submitted a claim on my behalf to further investigate XX/XX/XXXX : Wells Fargo sends notification via regular mail ( I was out of town so did not see this letter until I got back home on XX/XX/XXXX ) to inform me that there was no evidence of a processing error and determined the transaction to be authorized and claim closed. 
XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX - received same standard message via email on all of these dates informing me that Wells Fargo was still looking into the claim I submitted and that they would let me know what was determined after research was complete. 

XX/XX/XXXX : I called Wells Fargo to follow up on this claim. They said they no longer had rights to dispute the claim and that they could tell the physical card was used for this transaction and that my only option was to work with the merchant. 

I am 100 % sure I did not intentionally make any purchase for such a significant amount on that day or any close day prior to that. The transaction details are not enough to be able to identify or contact the merchant to try and dispute with them. Wells Fargo is not able to provide any additional help or fraud protection for this claim. It is a significant amount of money that was charged and that I don't recognize. I need help to find other ways of resolving this.

On XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report to this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm taken advantage of and being ignored for my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report, it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts should be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax Data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint:
I feel there are literally zero standards required from equifax and XXXX, thus making them completely random and arbitrary, to the detriment of the typical consumer. Both claim to use the same standard, VantageScore 3.0, yet there are extreme differences between the two. I paid off a personal loan early, and got a positive increase with XXXX, and a negative drop from equifax. Equifax lags in their updates and theres no good reason or excuse for it. Nobody, Federal or State, seems to be policing these gangsters, and I demand to know why. If there is no standard, then theres a strong case to be made that nobody, lenders and creditors included, can rely on them, and they should be eliminated altogether. Perhaps we should be able to opt out of these half XXXX  services from collecting our information such that we refuse to allow our information to be shared with them, and lenders and creditors can ask for direct references instead, without penalty to the consumer. And too bad of they dont like it. They can either get their act together, or, they can go out of business. We dont need them as much as they need us, and personally, Im tired of is being the victims. DO YOUR XXXX JOB AND GET IT FIXED
