Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint:
I am attaching a copy of my most recent correspondence to a credit line provider, XXXX, regarding their incorrect reporting to credit agencies for my loan for a property in XXXX. I have not received a reply since sending this communication back in XXXX and have paid that line off completely since. Evidently, my plea to right their entry on my credit report has been ignored by the lender. Details of the request below : I reached out to XXXX to clarify the fact that the missed payments on my loan # XXXX were reported on my credit report despite the loan 's having being discharged in the bankruptcy of my co-borrower. 

In the attached communication to the company, I detailed the circumstances of this loan and all of my bone fide efforts to regain control of the property and my eventual successfully executed transfer of title to my own 100 % ownership through a quit claim deed signed by the bankruptcy-discharged co-borrower.

Complaint:
I, XXXX XXXX, am a federally protected consumer and I am filing this complaint against XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX is in direct violation in regards to the information that is being furnished on my consumer report. I would like to state that XXXX XXXX is in violation of 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), which clearly states that information furnished must be in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer. I, the consumer, never gave XXXX XXXX any written consent to report anything on my consumer report. NO CONSENT = IDENTITY THEFT. The following is a fraudulently furnished inquiry. I did not authorize, benefit from, nor consent to this inquiry and I demand it be removed from my consumer report immediately : XX/XX/2021 ( XX/XX/2021 ). If they are not removed, I will hold XXXX XXXX criminally liable for willful noncompliance and aggravated identity theft pursuant 15 USC 1681a ( q ) ( 3 ) since fraud is being committed using my identifying information. This negative item on my consumer report is preventing me from having a fair and equitable consumer report according to 15 USC 1681b. If XXXX XXXX can not provide to me a copy of when I sent a written permissible purpose to validate this inquiry, I demand they be deleted in XXXX days. Enclosed is the FTC Identity Theft Report which states the above mentioned inquiry that is being fraudulently furnished.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint:
I used the " Secure Message '' feature on their online system to ask XXXX to increase my line of credit on a credit card I currently hold with them. They responded with some financial questions along with telling me they would have to do a " Hard Inquiry '' to extend my line of credit. I answered their financial questions, but said I did not want a hard inquiry. They responded that it was their policy and I again said that if it would be done without a hard inquiry fine, but i specifically said no to a hard credit inquiry as it would have a negative effect on my credit score when every point was important. Then they did a hard inquiry anyway. I have since been asking them, both via lengthy and futile phone calls and many more secure message, to contact the Credit Agencies and remove that inquire. I have attached screed shots of the secure messages XXXX times and dates show XXXX along with screen shots of when they did the hard inquiry.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY

Complaint:
This evening on XX/XX/2022, I received a text message from Wells Fargo asking if I had made a purchase at XXXX for {$1.00}, and to call their customer service team if I did not make this authorization. 

I called and spoke with someone whose English was terrible. He couldnt speak English enough to understand the answers to my security questions ( or so he claimed ), and kept probing me for additional information that he again claimed was incorrect. The information I provided was correct. 

I got suspicious because the more he told me my answers were wrong, the more questions he was asking some of the questions are not pieces of information that I had ever provided to Wells Fargo. I am a fraud analyst, a certified fraud analyst. I know the interview questions and the laws and guidelines for fraud victims. I asked him at this point if he actually worked for Wells Fargo because his professionalism was terrible. He abruptly transferred me to someone else another person who did not speak English. This individual sat on the phone for a while pretending that he couldnt hear me and hung up. 

My card has been shut down. I doubt that Wells Fargo will reopen that card, which is going to hit my credit in a negative way. 

Being in the business, I know that Wells Fargo has been investigated by the CFPB for situations such as mine. 

What I found funny is that Wells Fargo did not attempt to forward this case to a fraud investigator or even show me any kind of humanity or compassion. I felt victimized by the bank who is insured to protect me. I dont even know if Wells Fargo did anything to protect my information because this appeared to be a breach on their end.

This has been like the 5th time I have accounts and other info on my credit report from identity theft. I have submitted a police report to all three credit bureaus, froze my credit, and filed claims with them directly and not only is there still fraudulent Info still on there but someone has been able to get another account on my credit fraudulently even after I put the fraud alert on it. There is now an account from XXXX XXXX XXXX  that was open in XXXX of XXXX  and incorrect reporting of late payments on the mortgage I had with XXXX XXXX when they were not late but on forbearance. I am tired of these bureaus not doing the proper investigation to remove fraudulent accounts and errors and still allowing it to happen.

Complaint:
Credit Collection Service is reporting a debt on my credit file that I do not owe. I paid this account the moment I found out about it since I never received any mail from them or a phone call. This violates my 30 day right to dispute under the FCRA and the FDCPA. I am aware that Credit Collection Services report to the bureaus as they deem necessary since they are the furnisher. If this is not removed, I will have no alternative than to exercise whatever rights and remedies we have under the law to enforce the removal of this account.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint:
On or around XX/XX/2020, I discovered numerous accounts on my credit reports, that were not opened by me. As a result of this theft, I have suffered irreperable harm, my credit score has been significantly affected, and the time that this has taken to remedy this damage has been unconscionable. 
I contacted the company CBNA, directly, a-prising them that they have mistakenly reporting adverse information on my report as I am not the person/individual that requested services, nor have I obtained any goods of any sort. 
As required by the FCRA, I subsequently mailed CBNA numerous documents, which included multiple police reports, affidivats, FTC reports and proof of my identity, letting them know this account was fraudulent.

They have continued to report this account on my credit report and in fact have negligently verified the validity of this account with XXXX  Credit reporting agency. I have asked that this account be remove from my report as a result. I have repeatedly asked for validation of this debt and the application that was signed requesting that this account be open. To date, they have sent me nothing, however, CBNA, continues to report this account as a charge off account. Further, negligent enablement of identity theft by false reporting, libel as well as continued false validation of this erroneous accounts violates many of my civil rights in accordance with FCRA rules. 
DOCUMENTS MAILED TO THIS COMPANY ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN MAILED 12 times since XX/XX/2020 2020

I offered to pay only the original amount of {$140.00} because I do owe it IF, in writing, they would agreed to that amount and give me a guarantee that they would not ding me on XXXX. Over the course of a week I spoke with three different people all of whom refused my offer insisting I pay {$340.00}.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint:
Around XX/XX/2019 I was contacted by letter by XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX which alleged I owed a debt to Synchrony Bank. This company also alleged the debt was previously held with PayPal with  previous creditor XXXX. Before I was contacted by this Collection Company, I received several phone calls in regard this matter. I asked them to cease all kind of communication but I received more robocalls afterwards for which they had violated the law Under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

This Debt was previously handled by Synchrony Bank who bought PayPal Credit ( also known as XXXX ) and sent me several attempts to collect this funds in communication letters. Ive never opened an account with Synchrony Bank for PayPal and I will never use their services for their high interest rate and bad reputation. This is not an statement to talk about the Bank but the Collection Company who allegedly bought this debt. Attached are proof of the initial dispute I sent to this Collection Company as soon as I received their first letter. The letter ( see adjustment ) asked to the Company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to validate the debt and to send me proof I owe them. The confirmation for receiving documents in envelope was signed by them ( see adjustment ). 

After not receiving any communication for 2 months ( approximately ) this collection company reported to all 3 credit bureaus and my credit score significantly  decreased. Once again, violating the law Under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) since I asked them to Validate or Cease Collection. This is the last attempt before Im taking legal actions against XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX for Violating the FDCPA and CFPB law, attempting against my moral character, and making illegal robocalls. Im also working with XXXX XXXX XXXX for this same matter.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint:
I was in the process of taking the correct steps to improve my credit score from the mid 600 's to over 700. One thing they tell you to do to improve the score is to make sure you balance on all cards are less than 50 % of the credit limit. In XX/XX/2019 I took these steps to pay down a couple of my Citi cards. After payment my balance would be about 40 % of my credit limit. Right after I made these payments, Citi card sent me a letter lowering my credit limit. Once they lowered my limit I was right back to being over 90 % used of my credit balance. With this being done it is like swimming upstream and I would never get anywhere unless I paid the balance in full. 
This seems like it is very unfair to the consumer. I am never late and was trying to better my score, only to be made worse.
