Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

Complaint:
My personal information ( social security number, birth dates, addresses, and other compromising information that would make it very easy to be a victim of identity theft or be a victim of credit fraud ) may have been compromised as part of the cyberattack on Equifax that was reported on Thursday,  XX/XX/XXXX ( though occurred a couple months prior ). This is absolutely ridiculous considering since there was no way for me to avoid having my information available to Equifax.

Consumer complaint received 2019-11-20
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA (WI)

Complaint:
This complaint is not about my ability to pay. Rather, I believe this credit card, a TCF Bank Visa issued by First Bankcard of Omaha, is intentionally misleading cardholders through the Minimum Payment Due language. 

The stated Minimum Payment Due amount is always higher than the payment shown in the Minimum Payment Warning chart that shows how much time it will take to pay off the balance if paying the minimum payment as opposed to making a payment of another amount. 

So, for example, the Minimum Payment Due amount on my latest statement is {$74.00}. According to the Minimum Payment Warning chart, if I make only the minimum payment ( and make no additional charges, ) I will pay off the balance in " about ... '' 5 years. However, If I make no additional charges and want to pay off the balance in 3 years, the amount I am advised to pay is {$62.00}. 

One can not make a lower payment and pay the balance off in less time, obviously. I believe this misleading and incorrect information has been provided intentionally to manipulate people into making less than the minimum payment. I have spoken to the company about this and never got past " Oh, I see! That IS strange. I'll take this right to my supervisor! '' This practice has gone unchanged since the very first statement I received from the company back in XX/XX/2017.

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

Complaint:
There are accounts on my consumer report that are a result of identity theft. I did not provide written permission with a wet signature for these accounts to be reported on my consumer report. I recently contacted you to address this issue, and I am requesting that this information be blocked and deleted as soon as possible. Your actions have caused me significant mental and financial stress by including items on my credit report that do not belong to me and for which I am not responsible. I am prepared to take legal action if this complaint is not handled appropriately. These fake, inaccurate, and fraudulent items appearing on my credit record have prevented me from purchasing my dream house and providing for my family 's needs. I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent for your reference.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (TX)

Complaint:
I received a promotional balance offer from Barclays in XX/XX/XXXX, 0 % promotional APR through at least XX/XX/XXXX with a 3 % fee where the transaction must post to my account by XX/XX/XXXX ( copy attached ). I called in to their call center and processed a balance transfer under this program on XX/XX/XXXX. I just noticed on my recent statement that they are charging me 19.99 % where it should be 0 % through XX/XX/XXXX ( copies attached ). Please note they also charged me the 3 % on the {$11000.00} for the promotional fee. When I called their call center, on XX/XX/XXXX, and told her I had the offer letter in hand and read it to her and I told her she could also refer to the call center recordings, they told me that the offer had expired. I again told them that the offer was good until XX/XX/XXXX and I processed this on XX/XX/XXXX and they even charged me the promotional balance 3 % fee. The call rep then put me on hold multiple times for no reason, without notice, in the middle of me talking to her and finally I was cut off when they just forwarded me to a payment option.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (MA)

Complaint:
When they ask you to write in details about the complaint : I disputed the account because I noticed it was on my credit report and I did not authorize this account. To dispute this account, I mailed a dispute letter, a copy of my FTC report for identity theft, a copy of my police report for fraud/impersonation/identity theft, 3 forms of personal identification ( copies of my driver 's license, my social security card, and one of my recent bank statements from the past 3 months ) along with a copy of the page of my credit report ( s ) on which the account was listed, in an envelope sent to the creditor of the account and I also put copies of the same documents in envelopes sent to all three credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX via XXXX certified mail with return receipt, this was more than 60 days ago. The creditor and the credit bureaus have not mailed me a notarized contract with my signature on it within their 30-day allotted timeframe allowed by the FCRA ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ) to validate the account, and thus the account must be immediately deemed invalid, fraudulent, and not my liability, and it is hereby illegal for the credit bureaus and creditors to report this account on my credit report because the account was not validated within the required 30-day timeframe, and so the solution to my complaint is for the credit bureaus and for the creditor to immediately delete this account from my credit report. If the creditors and credit bureaus do not do this, I have the power and the evidence to sue them and win {$10000.00} due to the illegal credit reporting acts that they have committed which continue to harm my credit worthiness and access to financial wealth-building opportunities such as loans for real estate purchases. 

The account was also deleted from my XXXX and XXXX reports as well so in order to correct the inconsistencies between the XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX credit reports, the account needs to be deleted from the XXXX credit report. 

The information for this account listed on my credit report is : CREDITOR : USAA SAVINGS BANK, ACCOUNT XXXX, OPENED XX/XX/2018, BALANCE OF {$770.00}

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: NCC Business Services, Inc. (CO)

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX account number # XXXX has placed XXXX collection charges claiming that I, XXXX XXXX owe monies. XXXX is placed for {$1000.00} and the other is placed for {$6000.00}. These accounts are INVALID/INACCURATE ACCOUNTS AS I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCOUNT WITH XXXX. 

This collection agency also reports itself as NCC Business Services. 

I have disputed three times with XXXX to have this information deleted as it appeared on my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX and it was previously deleted when it first appeared on or about XX/XX/XXXX. The CRA refuses to delete it claiming the debt is verified by XXXX XXXX XXXX with my name and social security number only but yet has no proof of the debt. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX via phone on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and they told me that the debt is mine yet made no attempt to try and collect a payment. I requested proof of this debt over the phone be mailed to me ( meaning signed legal documents or contracts and lease, past payments to this creditor etc. ) and they have failed to provide any proof. I emailed them a request for proof of debt and they do not acknowledge this debt nor have any documents to prove other than stating my name, and social security number match. 

Since they can not provide legal proof this debt must be and should be deleted from my credit report. 

I have attempted three times to get this removed and they refuse to respond and have also claimed they have mailed out information to me in XX/XX/XXXX which they never have, but yet are n't trying to collect any payment from me when i demand information. They ca n't produce the information. They are lying and damaging my credit by reporting a false collection. 

I contacted XXXX as well who XXXX XXXX XXXX claims the debt is with and they also have no proof of legal binding lease or contract or any of my personal IDs, past payments etc. 

This is illegal and XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting false information. XXXX accounts need to be deleted.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CA)

Complaint:
CBNA / Best buy is misreporting a balance on a settled charge-off account. 

They apparently have also either sold the account or have hired an outside collection agency to collect on their behalf a balance which should have been forgiven per the settlement agreement. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent CBNA a letter requesting a settlement along with a check. They cashed the settlement check, and payment was posted from my account on XX/XX/XXXX. On or about XX/XX/XXXX I received a response letter from CBNA stating that they were unable to identify my account, and were requesting information so they could apply the payment correctly. On XX/XX/XXXX I faxed over all of the requested information to them. 

After nearly a month with no response, I attempted to call them several times and could never get in touch with someone to discuss the situation. I left several messages and got no response. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent via certified mail the entirety of the information they requested that I had faxed on XX/XX/XXXX. I have yet to hear a response. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX, a collection agency, stating that the account had been listed with them for recovery. The balance stated on the collection was not the original charge-off balance, but rather the original balance minus the settlement amount that was agreed upon. 

CBNA has not held up their end of the settlement agreement, and is attempting to collect on a balance that was forgiven per settlement agreement.
