Consumer complaint received 2025-04-29 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint due to multiple unauthorized hard inquiries that have been made on my credit report without my knowledge, consent, or permissible purpose, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Under FCRA Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), a hard inquiry may only be made if there is a legitimate permissible purpose, such as a credit application that I explicitly authorized. I have not applied for credit or authorized any of the following companies to access my credit report : These inquiries were not initiated or approved by me in any capacity. I have contacted the credit reporting agency ( [ XXXXEquifax/TransUnion ] ) to dispute these inquiries and demand their removal. However, no satisfactory resolution has been provided. 

The continued reporting of these inquiries without proof of authorization is a violation of my rights as a consumer under the FCRA and potentially opens these companies and the credit bureaus to civil liability. Hard inquiries can lower my credit score and affect my ability to obtain credit therefore, this is not a trivial issue.

Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Since early XX/XX/year>, my Wells Fargo account has been compromised XXXX separate times. The first incident involved a single alert for a {$100.00} XXXX charge, which prompted me to review my account and discover several unauthorized transactions. I reported the fraud, and the bank issued me a new card. 

Despite this, more fraudulent charges appeared. I contacted Wells Fargo again, disputed the charges, and received a XXXX replacement card. I never activated this second card and proactively turned it off yet unauthorized charges still continued to post. This prompted me to file a third dispute and request another card. 

While reviewing the situation, I discovered that Wells Fargo automatically issues digital cards and pushes them into merchant systems without customer consent. I believe this policy played a direct role in the repeated breaches of my account. I have not experienced any similar issues with my other credit cards from different banks, which suggests the problem lies with Wells Fargos card security protocols and digital card policy. 

These repeated incidents have caused me significant stress and frustration. Ive had to repeatedly monitor my account, file multiple disputes, and go without secure access to my funds all while trusting the bank to protect my information.

Company: Servicing Solutions, LLC
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Hi, I kindly request your support regarding a debt collection attempt from Servicing Solutions , LLC, in the amount of {$130.00}, for a debt I do not recognize and never agreed to. 

Over the past year, I have contacted the company multiple times to clarify the situation. Each time, I was told the balance would be removed from their system. However, I continue to receive phone calls and emails the most recent on XX/XX/2025 and unfortunately, this is now negatively affecting my credit score.

I have never had any account or loan with this company, nor do I have any active credit cards or debts. No documentation has ever been provided to prove the origin of this alleged debt. 

With all due respect, I would deeply appreciate your help to : 1. Stop the collection attempts, 2. Ensure my credit report is corrected, and 3. Receive written confirmation that I do not owe any balance. 

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX  Email : XXXX Phone : XXXX
