Consumer complaint received 06-05-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: XXXX XXXX AKA XXXX is not reporting correctly to Experian that my account was delinquent as of XXXX, 2010. This is extremely important due to the fact that adverse credit accounts are suppose to drop off of the credit bureau after seven years per the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The account was later brought current and paid off. It is still showing on my current Experian credit report when the credit delinquency if great than seven years. XXXX XXXX were reporting the XXXX 2010 delinquency 's correctly to XXXX and XXXX. The account has dropped off of these credit bureaus due to the 1st reported delinquency 's are greater than sever years old. I have contacted and requested twice now to XXXX that they correct the credit reporting with Experian. They have refused to do so. Experian defers to the lender so they will not remove it either. They are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. <P/>I have attached a copy of my mortgage Statement dated XXXX, 2010 that shows my payment due date is XXXX XXXX, 2010 which also shows 2 past due payments ( XXXX & XXXX 2010 ). See the bottom of page 2 in the attachment for past due details. I have also included a copy of my XXXX report that shows XXXX XXXX reported me as past due from XXXX thru XXXX 2010.  XXXX and XXXX has subsequently removed this from my file since it is seven years old as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act

Consumer complaint received 11/16/2016 about Bank account or service (Savings account) with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: approx 6 mos. ago my mother had a XXXX XXXX. The ensuing months were difficult as she had a business and many financial obligations that I was unfamiliar with, but we 've gotten through it. About 4 mos ago, her business acct at XXXX bank cashed a {$2000.00} forged check resulting in delayed payroll. We decided to wire XXXX $ into her XXXX acct from her Capital one 360 savings acct. to cover payroll. Capital one called the next day inquiring into the transfer and my mother told them she did n't know about it and handed the phone over to me and I explained the situation indicating that I was helping my mom who at the time had been aware of the transfer but was having XXXX XXXX. Checking on her acct the next day I found that her accounts had been frozen with a number to call. She had been calling that number for about 2 1/2 months, having to wait upwards to an hour and XXXX before being disconnected. A week ago she finally got through to security who informed her that she would need to obtain a POA for me, her son, before they would release any of her funds, even though she is almost fully recovered from her XXXX and has resumed the running of her financial business, although I am still here assisting her, she is able to make her own decisions. There is no Capital one 360 banks in California, ( formerly ING ), so determining that a POA is the only way to obtain these funds we have gone ahead and gotten XXXX but are having difficulty getting it to them as this needs to be expedited due to the fact that there is an XXXX $ check delayed and payroll is due soon so normal mail would take to long. Am going to pursue this but this situation has caused my mother much aggravation and hardship.

Consumer complaint received 02/19/2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (FL).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Complaint: I opened a checking account with XXXX and a debit account was provided and tied to my checking account. I now discovered that XXXX has reported the year of opening the acount as XXXX. The problem I discovered in XXXX which allows me to view and challenge the Equifax as well as XXXX reports is that, while the checking account and debit account was properly closed with XXXX in XXXX prior to our relocation to XXXX in XXXX from XXXX. It contained many errors. 

The information I viewed on Equifax states that this account was a credit card which was false since I never had any credit card in XXXX. XXXX is the first State that I received my first credit card. Equifax also reports that XXXX XXXX XXXX, 4years after we have relocated to XXXX was my 1st delinquency date and reported it as a charged off account. XXXX timely correct all informed that were reporting incorrectly, however, Equifax pretended as if it was investigating the errors in my file while it was a sham investigation. I challenged Equifax on this sham investigation since the telephone number I was initially provided to XXXX by Equifax was already disconnected. After I notified Equifax of this sham investigation, I was informed that another investigation would be conducted, which now produced another confirmation # XXXX written on a correspondence sent on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. This last response again reaffirmed the already erroneous report that XXXX is reporting on the account. The number I was provided to XXXX is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and it is still not in service. I went on XXXX to find a telephone number to SECU and received a mailing address and a copy of the correspondence I sent on XXXX XXXX, XXXX was sent to SECU without any response. 
This was not the only challenge in my file that Equifax is not reporting accurately on and refusing to conduct the required investigation on. I would appreciate your agency intervention on this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 08-04-2015 about Debt collection (Federal student loan) with TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (MD).
Issue: Improper contact or sharing of info
Sub-issue: Contacted me after I asked not to

Complaint: Transworld systems had been calling repeatedly using cell phone exchanges to prevent " Transworld '' on a caller ID. They never left a message. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I answered XXXX of those calls ; they have actually used XXXX numbers. The woman on the other end asked for my son, did I know where he lived and where he worked. Thinking it was a friend of his, I told her he lived in XXXX XXXX, MD. Then I asked for her name but she said she did n't have to tell me that. Then I asked who she represented and she again said she did n't have to tell me ; I hung. Since that day, Transworld has called every weekday without leaving a message. Nine dayslater, on XXXX XXXX they began leaving a message saying who they were and " the official debt collectors disclosure '' about the purpose of their call ; they never did did before. About the third week in XXXX Transworld garnished my son 's paycheck {$75.00}. As my son is XXXX, he gave them permission for me to talk to them on his behalf. XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX immediately launched into her tirade of agressive intimidation, which included telling me not to interrupt when I attempted to ask a question, repeatedly telling me that both I and my son were lying, and continually making demands regarding my compliance, in the process repeating herself over and over again. It was a classic " breakdown-the-subject '', one-sided barrage of intimidation designed to frighten me into submission. Her berating went on from XXXX XXXX until XXXX ; a full hour and a half! My son submitted the signed " XXXX '' forms she sent him and is supposed to get his loan payment reduced to 1 % of his income. His takehome pay, after deductions, which include a company health plan, is {$XXXX}. There is also Transworld 's collection fee of {$3200.00} which I assume they will want him to pay. My son got a XXXX year degree using many loan programs including XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. Because of his XXXX he received XXXX years of XXXX paid for by the county and the state that cost {$100000.00}. In his XXXX he also became XXXX ... and XXXX ; he was an XXXX years. He started his XXXX and worked as a XXXX during that period, but never made very much ... barely enough to support himself. XX/XX/XXXX he entered a XXXX and has been XXXX for seven months. He has had a job since XX/XX/XXXX and has received XXXX pay increases and numerous promotions ; he is now the XXXX. I think XXXX XXXX and Transworld have violated laws regarding debt collection. Thank you for this opportunity to submit a complaint.

Consumer complaint received 04/18/2016 about Mortgage (VA mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: Currently undergoing a Deed In Lieu with Wells Fargo that started in XXXX, XXXX ( last mortgage payment made in XXXX ). Throughout this process I have made every attempt that I know how to make, in order to facilitate closure of this DIL. I am on my third or fourth Home Preservation specialist ( since XXXX XXXX ) and every time I attempt to contact the current specialist, that individual is not available, nor do they return my call. I have gone into the local Wells Fargo Home Mortgage branch in XXXX, CA. in the hopes of learning something and utilizing an internal Wells Fargo email system. The local mortgage specialist did help by sending an email to my specific home preservation specialist ( at the time ) and CC 'd her manager. No reply was ever received by either party and when I emailed the local representative back, no reply was ever received. I have sent, and re-sent duplicate documentation ( multiple times ) whenever Wells Fargo asks for it throughout this time period. On the rare occasion I am able to talk to another ( not mine ) home preservation specialist, the typical response is that my specialist is assisting another customer, and that they would leave them a message. When asked to look at my account, the individual I speak with responds with the typical phrase " it 's in loss mitigation, we 're sending them an email right now and you 'll get a call back within XXXX48 hours. '' Call-backs never happen. This process has tanked my credit and I expected that. What I did not expect, was for this to last 1 1/2 years. Wells Fargo was given all information they asked for, within 8 hours of them asking. This lack of communication and action by Wells Fargo is damaging my abilities as a responsible consumer. I have multiple documents involved with this process and will upload them. I was contacted by the VA in XXXX, XXXX and in the VA 's notes from Wells Fargo, it shows that " the DIL has been approved '', however I am currently receiving letters post-dated after that information was posted to the VA representative. In XXXX, Wells Fargo procured homeowners insurance on this property due to my private insurance running out on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I spoke with Wells Fargo Insurance division and relayed my concerns about Wells Fargo purchasing additional insurance on this residence, as I would no make payments for additional insurance on the property if I ca n't afford the mortgage, and that I did n't want to become delinquent to whatever 3rd party Insurance company Wells Fargo contracted with. Wells Fargo went ahead and purchased the insurance and I have been assured that I will not show as delinquent to this 3rd part insurance provider, even though they 're not receiving a payment from me.
