Consumer complaint received 01-04-2017 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account terms

Complaint: After reviewing my credit report in detail at the beginning of 2016 I noticed some aged and old accounts that I decided to dispute. I disputed several accounts that were reporting wrong and were past the 7 years from the first date of delinquency. I have sent over 5 letters which I wo n't upload all of them but I will upload the most recent. I also contact the creditor people reporting the information and either the letters got returned or they did n't respond. This bureau sent results saying the found the account accurate after talking to the creditor.??? i 'm so confused because these people have n't sent me anything. From what I read the bureaus must complete an investigation and verify certain things with the source and respond within 45 days from date of receipt. I 've discovered multiple holes in their investigation process and I 'm not trying to get them in trouble I 'm simply trying to correct my report. Your site offers a section and I read the " first date of delinquency '' & " 7 years '' to where if it 's been 7 years from that first date you become delinquent then the account must be deleted. Majority of these account fit the guideline and there 's no way the bureaus " verified '' this. Very frustrating bc I feel like they are just trying to keep these account on my credit report so they can make more money on reporting premiums from the creditors who is their clients. As a consumer I feel completely ignored and violated. nOt sure if I 'm the only one but i 'd be willing to bet I 'm not. Hoping they correct some of these mistakes not just for me but for other americans. This has affected me personally bc I 'm trying to obtain financing for a vehicle. 

We HAVE request multiple times for the " description of reinvestigation procedure '' and not only did they not respond within 15 days, experian just completely ignored us. If they actually investigated they would see that it has been 7 ears since our very first payment that was delinquent. EXPERIAN simply wants to keep it on our credit report so they can collect more reporting premiums ... very sad Accounts in question are : 1.XXXX - It is 7 years since the 1st date of deliqeuncy Thank you for your time and i 'm looking forward to getting this resolved. have a great day.

Consumer complaint received 04/17/2017 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MN).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Complaint: I attempted to investigate with Experian online. Since I had become aware of  Section 609 15 USC 1681g of th e Fair Credit Reporting Act and additionally th e MLA of 1973 and UCC section 3-308a, I  requested investigation into some physically unverified derogatory accounts being reported by experian. I was shocked to see their response that they refused to investigate these accounts since a different aspect of the account had been investigated in the past. More shockingly, they cited the same consumer protection act that allows a consumer not to be victimized by a credit reporting agency as being permissive of their actions. Please help with this situation.

Consumer complaint received 01/27/2017 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX).
Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Complaint: i had a XXXX account with Wells Fargo thru my employer, XXXX that i was not able to transfer until i turned XXXX or until i had not been with the employer for 5 years. 
Upon turning XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX2017, i called and aske to have the funds rolled over to my bank, XXXX.I asked to have the funds wired directly but they told me they could not do that and i had to wait for a check.I reluctantly agreed. 
The funds were to be sent directly to my bank.I got a letter at my home on the XXXX saying the funds were sent.When nothing was received at my bank by the XXXX, my bank and i conference called Wells Fargo and asked where the funds were.They informed me that a check was sent on XX/XX/XXXX to my bank.We told them that the letter never arrived.They said i had to wait until Friday to do a stop payment on the check and have the funds resent.I called them today, friday XX/XX/XXXX and asked to have the funds resent.They insisted they wanted to mail the funds and i requested they be wired and they said no. 
i then asked to have the money overnighted and they would not do that. 
i rwquested a supervisor and that person agreed to overnight the funds after the stop payment was processed which would be Tuesday. 
Meanwhile i have not had benefit of use of these funds for all that time. 
i really believe that the check was never mailed and this is just a delaying tactic for the bank to hold onto this money as long as they can. 
The amount was not enormous,XXXX, but not insignificant to me. 
have you had other complaints about Wells Fargo using this stall/delay tactic to hold onto the money of customers trying to withdraw IRA or other funds from this institution? 
if so, i want to add my name to the list of people that are unhappy about this situation. 
Why is it that bank want to do everything electronically, including cashing my checks and immediately transferring funds out of my checking account, yet when it comes time for me to get money from my account i have to wait for the Postal System to deliver My funds and then suspiciously, the funds do not arrive??? 
This is completely unfair to the consumer. 
I do Not trust Wells Fargo regarding anything they do any more. 

Also, i feel it is unfair if a Company terminates my employment to have a regulation saying that matching funds can not be withdrawn from an IRA account until i am XXXX or 5 years from Termination.If i quit the company, i canunderstand this rule, but if i am let go, this conditon should be waived or not apply.I have waited two and a half years to access these funds and i still do not have them. 

Not happy!!

Consumer complaint received 06/14/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint: I submitted a dispute with Experian on or around  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  for an inaccurate bankruptcy reference #  XXXX  that was filed in  XXXX  showing on my report. On  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  I received the results of the dispute online. The bankruptcy was " supposedly '' verified as accurate and remained on the credit report. I called Experian on  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  and spoke to  XXXX . I asked her how the Bankruptcy had been verified and the source of verification since the information was not listed on the dispute results.  XXXX  told me that a third party vendor went to the court house in  XXXX  IL to verify the bankruptcy information. I placed  XXXX  on hold and called the bankruptcy courts (  XXXX  ) and spoke to  XXXX . I asked her if they verified any type of information on a bankruptcy for myself to a third party vendor for Experian and she stated that the Bankruptcy Courts do not verify or share information with Credit Bureaus or third party vendors for credit bureaus. I advised  XXXX  of what  XXXX  from the Bankrup tcy Courts h ad just stated.  XXXX  said she does n't know who the  XXXX  party vendor for Experian is and there is no way for her to tell me or verify whether or not t he 3rd p arty vendor actually did verify since the Courts just said that they did not verify anything. I asked to speak with  XXXX  's supervisor and was transferred to the fraud department where I spoke to a  XXXX  and she stated that Experian gets their information from  a 3rd pa rty vendor but she could not tell me the name of the vendor that verified the information. As per the FCRA a consumer has the right to know how information on their credit file was verified and also the name of the vendor that verified the information. P er Civil Action No.   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  all credit bureaus must list the vendors that was used to verify information related to a consumers credit file. Experian failed to do that and because of the lack of verification the bankruptcy must be removed
