Consumer complaint received 12/23/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint: I, XXXX XXXX hereby files a complaint to clear my name with two creditors that need to take an identity theft matter seriously. I have attached to this complaint copies of my original complaints on both creditors. The responsible party for this identity theft was my own father. I should not be penalized for his actions, and for that matter I did request copies of all original creditor contracts that were fraudulently signed with my name. I never received any credit cards from either creditor, and I never knew the accounts existed until I was notified that these credit cards were in default after they were maxed out on credit limits. It does not matter to me if this identity theft is turned over to the proper legal authorities, as what is important is that the truth must be exposed. 
Accordingly, all fraudulent accounts must be deleted from my credit reports permanently. I did receive notice on one of the deletion pages from XXXX, whereas XXXX XXXX stated that they reviewed the creditor documents, and that there was sufficient evidence showing that I was the signing party, and the person responsible for payment. This is a complete fabrication. Therefore, I have no choice but to file a complaint with XXXX as well as every credit reporting bureau that the investigation process mandated by the subscriber agreements signed by creditors is being ignored. Each creditor must comply under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act under the subscriber agreement upon. Therefore, I file this complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to fulfill the agreements between creditors and credit bureaus. 
All the complaints must be taken seriously, and my rights must be protected. All accounts must be deleted permanently from my credit bureaus, and I must be given notice that my name and social security number have been purged to avoid future collection activities, either by the creditors directly or any associated collection agencies. 
I will obtain legal counsel if necessary as these violations on my rights have caused me great financial harm as well as mental and physical problems. These accounts must be deleted permanently, and my name and social security number must be purged immediately.

Consumer complaint received 12/26/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (Store credit card) with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NJ).
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Application denied

Complaint: Synchrony denied on-line credit for Care Credit product in XX/XX/XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX for a XXXX XXXX. These products cost approximately {$2500.00}. In all three cases an on-line generated denial was provided indicating only a credit score of XXXX. See attached file. 

In all three cases, no letter was sent to me from Synchrony Bank indicating the reason for credit denial. I believe this is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

The result of the denials, my credit score has suffered as a result. As of XX/XX/XXXX, no letters have been sent to me regarding this matter. Additionally, Synchrony Bank is not using my latest credit score from XXXX. The XXXX score they communicated on-line has not been current in several years. It appears Synchrony Bank is not purchasing credit history on a frequent basis or are unwilling to communicate why they used a XXXX credit score.

Consumer complaint received 11/17/2017 about Vehicle loan or lease (Loan) with CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION (OH).
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Sub-issue: Denied request to lower payments

Complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I went to XXXX XXXX because I needed a reliable car. I spent approximately 6 hours at the dealership that day, at one point leaving to pick up my XXXX XXXX XXXX at preschool and returning. I still had not seen the XXXX XXXX XXXX that I was informed would be the only car I would qualify for. At 7 pm, desperate to get out of there, go home and fee myself and my son, I was told the paperwork was ready to sign and I would be on my way. I had no idea what I was getting into, who the loan was through or even what the car looked like!! I felt like i had no other options at this point so I signed the papers and went out to see the car I had just agreed to pay $ XXXX for 48 months@29.9 % interest rate. I was sick to discover this car was going to need new tires among many other things. I felt like there was nothing I could do so I did my best to make the payments but it was impossible. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I contacted Credit Acceptance to explain what was going on and try to get lower payments by removing some of the add on packages that are very unnecessary. Unfortunately, instead of being able to do anything I intended, the woman was extremely rude and wanted to know where I was, where the car is at, what times I leave because they 're looking to take my car. I was told that if I could not come up with over {$800.00}, my car would be gone. She then suggested I borrow the money. I have no one to borrow money from so she said I needed to come up with at least {$410.00} by the end of the day. I ended up overdrawing my account to avoid my car being taken away while I was grocery shopping. I was transferred to another woman who wanted to withdraw another {$410.00} in 3 days. my requests to lower the payments, remove packages or anything to help make the payment affordable were just flat out ignored, not even acknowledged. They are completely unwilling to hear why I am unable to pay an outrageous amount for a car that is not even close to being worth that. They want to repossess the car and that is it. I want to keep the car, pay for it and improve my credit but this company is definitely not helping with that in any way at all.

Consumer complaint received 06/29/2017 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX).
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: One XX/XX/2017 I deposited a check from XXXX XXXX. At that time I was told the funds would be available in two days and they would release XXXX upon deposit by a lady name XXXX. However, when the funds were not available, I then went back to the bank and was told by XXXX there would be a ten day hold as suspected fraud. I asked for the check back so I could have XXXX XXXX wire the money they said it was too late. XXXX then informed me they could not give it back because it was sent to the Federal Reserve for Investigation and they automatically keep them for 10 days. I contacted the Federal Reserve, they told me this information was not true and advised me to contact you. Prior to contacting you, I called once more, spoke with XXXX and she also confirmed to me the check was sent to the Federal Reserve for suspected fraud that the check was not XXXX XXXX 's. ( I am sure the recordings will reflect my truth in this ) I informed her I was told by the Federal Reserve that was not correct the Federal Reserve does not do that. I told her XXXX XXXX offered to verify the check was theirs and she said they do n't call and verify nor do they accept phone calls. I told her XXXX XXXX offered to wire the money, they said that could not happen. I asked then if it takes at most 3 days most for the money to be put in the account why would they even consider holding it ten days? If it 's subitted to XXXX XXXX, they put the money in the account, it is obvious NOT fraud, so why hold it ten days? Why on top of that require after the funds are put in account, why require Proof of Payment? Sounds like a lot being done to hold on to a check. She said that was the guidelines set by you. There is no fraud, which is obvious, I know there is n't. XXXX XXXX has tried to help resolve this. I have NEVER had fraud nor committed fraud on my account. What is sounds like is they just want to hold the money for as long as they can to draw interest, if you think about it, if they do this to 5 % of their customers daily it can add up. This is not right, I do n't even have money to buy groceries right now or put gas in my vehicle. I am not rich, I live pay check to pay check. They are also requiring even if money released for XXXX XXXX to issue a proof the payment was taken from their account and said even when they do that it takes 48 hours. They did not tell me this when I deposited it on XX/XX/XXXX either. I know this all sounds so unbelievable you have to think there must be some sort of fraud or I have to be a bad person but there is no fraud and I am not a bad person. I have had an account with them, I did not use it much as I was laid off when my company closed but I have finally went back to work.

Consumer complaint received 03/28/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FNIS) (WI).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint: An account with XXXX was opened by a family member without my authorization. This family member had access to all of my financial and personal information. I worked closely with XXXX XXXX, the CFPB, the FTC, the 3 main credit bureaus and XXXX XXXX XXXX ( the collection agency that bought the account ) FOR MANY MONTHS to resolve the account.

The creditor, the collection agency concluded the account was a result of identity theft and thus all collection activity stopped. After further review, the charges with XXXX XXXX were a result of unauthorized payments made to the fraudulent account with XXXX. As evidence of my claims please review the attached documents.

As the CEO of an investment and acquisition conglomerate, I do not have the luxury of time for this matter to be corrected. The erroneous entry on my credit report is interfering with my ability to fulfill my role with my employer and thus threatening my job stability. A core function of my job is to secure financing for the corporation 's acquisitions. This often requires a personal guarantee. Recently, a denial of access to a necessary bank account has transpired due to this erroneous entry. I am currently losing bonuses due to my inability to gain access to the account with XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 10-06-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (MI).
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint: In the wake of the recent data breach, I checked and found that my data had " probably '' been compromised. Financial experts on TV recommend putting a freeze on my credit so that no one can take out credit in my name. To do this I understand I am supposed to contact all three agencies. Today I tried to access the Equifax site to place a freeze and discovered that there is a {$10.00} charge for Michigan residents to start, lift temporarily, or permanently remove a freeze. No one mentioned a fee. And there is no explanation as to why a fee is being charged. I assume all the agencies charge fees. It seems to me that I am being asked to pay {$30.00} per action per freeze by the very people whose incompetence make a freeze necessary. Mark me down as an unhappy consumer. By the way, CFPB is the best thing since sliced bread. I hope the current regime lets you continue to do your important job. Blessings!
