Consumer complaint received 2023-06-06
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: S&S Physician Services, Inc. (TX)

Complaint:
I did not give HARVEST ASSOCIATES INC the permission to furnish information on my consumer report non consent is identity theft. 15 USC 6802 prohibits disclosure of nonpublic personal information without the knowing and expressed consent of the consumer. As a financial institution they are not to disclose non public personal information to a third party unless such financial institution clearly & conspicuously discloses to the consumer in writing or electronic form or other form permitted by the regulation prescribed under section 6804 of this title that such information may be disclosed. I did not receive any of the 3 disclosures I just mentioned, which Ive discovered is against consumer law and a direct violation. 

HARVEST ASSOCIATES INC and XXXX denied any inaccuracies but after further investigation I can confirm they are reporting inaccurate information on my consumer report which is a another violation under the FCRA 15 USC 1681.

USC 1681b states that consumer agencies can only furnish something in accordance with the written instruction of the consumer to whom it relates. I did not give HARVEST ASSOCIATES INC permission which is another violation.

TILA 15 USC 1601 protects me as a consumer against inaccurate & unfair credit billing. As a consumer, I never signed an agreement to enter into a credit transaction with HARVEST ASSOCIATES INC yet they have reported that I opened an account on two different dates because my consumer report is incorrectly showing XXXX different dates violating me even further. 

My complaint is also with XXXX who is allowing HARVEST ASSOCIATES INC to report inaccurate information on my consumer report which is a violation under the FCRA 15 USC 1681.

USC 1681b states that consumer agencies can only furnish something in accordance with the written instruction of the consumer to whom it relates. I did not give XXXX permission which is another violation on their behalf. Not only did I not give permission to furnish this information on my consumer report, the information is also incorrect which is a violation under 15 USC 1681b for those two violations under FCRA I am seeking {$2000.00} from XXXX.

This is XXXX XXXX submitting yet another CFPB complaint to follow up on my request to the Credit Bureau to properly investigate and remove the disputed items from my Credit Report. The Credit Reporting Agency continued to report these items but I did not receive any proof of verification or any document for them to claim that the items are investigated and mine.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

Complaint:
Equifax ; XXXX  and XXXX are reporting incorrectly a collection/charge-off in the amount of {$12000.00} on XXXX XXXX XXXX partial account number XXXX. ( Please see page attached from my credit report. ) I purchased a vehicle and along with this purchase there was also a factory warranty. Shortly after it was purchased the vehicle started to break down. I took the vehicle into the dealership to be serviced. The dealership would not honor the warranty. I was reluctant to continue to make payments on a vehicle that was not running. I tried numerous times to work with the dealership to fix the vehicle and honor the warranty however, they refused. The dealership took the vehicle back. There is no outstanding balance due and owing and this account. This false reporting of a collection/charge-off is seriously harming my credit score and this line item needs to be removed from my credit report. I have contacted the bureaus to remove this however, I have not been successful.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: I.C. System, Inc. (CA)

Complaint:
Hello, My wife and I called XXXX XXXX to get an estimate on how much money it would cost us to file our taxes. They said we would have to come into the office and bring our documents for them to see to give us the estimate. When we arrived at their office XXXX XXXX said that our initial consultation was free and they would start charging once the work started. At that time we asked XXXX what the next step was, and we were informed that we needed to pay {$75.00} for a power of attorney so they could access our paperwork. XXXX took longer than what seemed necessary to get the form entered on the screen and we questioned her if she needed help entering the info on the screen. We assisted her with the information repeatedly to get it all entered, and finally got everything entered. Unfortunately we felt that after this process that possibly XXXX may have some difficulty doing her job, and did n't feel confident in using the firm. We called her secretary following this appointment to discuss whether XXXX is having cognitive or senility difficulties. The secretary asked us if we were going to continue to use their firm, and I said no. We expected to get the bill for the {$75.00} for the power of Attorney, but when the bill came in the mail it was for {$890.00}. 
I feel this is a gross misuse of billing. I was told the estimate for the work was free. Than XXXX took a long time talking about her other clients and what she does for them, giving examples of what she has done for them. It looks like they are charging us for listening to her long drawn out sales pitch. I am only willing to pay the {$75.00} that we agreed to pay for the Power of Attorney for to be submitted online. This we already consider a loss based on the fact that we did not feel comfortable to have them actually do our work. I contacted them to complain about the bill, and they said they are charging me for the time. I said " What time '' I was told free estimate and {$75.00} for the power of attorney. I also said " You did n't do anything for us to justify charging us {$890.00}. Are you you trying to take advantage of us? ". They refused to hear our opinion, and now we have a second bill from them through a Bill collector called IC System. This is completely unfair.

He had no information regarding when the first attempt was made. I told him that I had checked with all the credit rating agencies just last year and didn't see that debt listed and got short with me. I called him back after realizing that the statute of limitations for a car loan was 4 years in XXXX  which is where the loan was defaulted on and 5 years in XXXX where I now live he got very angry and derogatory.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (OH)

Complaint:
I thought my credit card number was stolen, so I called Wells Fargo to let them know. They said they'd cancel it and send new ones. When I received the replacement card, I called to activate it. One of the things that their representative volunteered was if I had recurring charges, I'd have to set them up myself. 
I saw one of the recurring charges that I intentionally did not set up included on my billing statement. 
I called Wells Fargo to discuss this. It took me three people to get this answer, and it doesn't seem like it's legal. 
I was told that Visa provides a service to businesses that reestablishes the recurring charges without your knowledge, or consent. 
My major concern is what if I cancelled that credit card due to issues with a vendor, and that vendor is just able to ask visa to start charging again.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (ME)

Complaint:
I had filed for deferment on my loan i was asked to place in forbearance until the deferment went through. I was told it was good for 2 years only to find out that i had to renew after a year. I sent all the paperwork back in and never heard anything back i was receiving statement showing payment amount {$0.00} untill a week or so ago i got a letter ststing it was past due and I owed {$280.00} payment due. I went online to see what was going on my loan is no longer in deferment i resubmitted. Then I called navient to see if i needed to do anything else they then instructed me to place in forbearance until deferment is approved. I was hesitant and asked isnt that what the lawsuit is about. She told me it would be delinquent if i didnt place in forberance and my deferment would be denied if i did n't. So i told her ok and did the forbearance for 1 month. I then checked my credit report and it shows my loan from XXXX XXXX was charged off deliquent for both loans even though i consolidated a couple years ago as instructed by navient when they took over because it would be easier for me. not that it was in deferment. I tried finding my documents on their website but i csnt find anything i submitted i dont have hard copies i signed and returned all document 's sent to me. They had my old address on file even though the past 2 years ive been receiving information at my current address. I trusted them i assumed because it was a federal student loan with department of education it was a government agency. I did n't think they would stear me wrong. Over the years ive had {$520.00} added in interest when i though it was in deferment for economic hardship. Also when looking at my email i was sent 20+ emails from navient asking me to reply yes to email to place loan im forberance. I went to XXXX school not i guess they are called XXXX
