Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, all information is required to be 100 % accurate on my credit report. 

The Credit Bureaus stated my account was properly investigated but last reported dates and date last active are all inaccurate to include account number for XXXX  : ** XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX ** XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I feel that this is ground for removal from my credit report and my rights have been violated under the following : 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 602 ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) Disclosure to consumer ( A ) In general Except as provided in subparagraph ( B ), a person may not procure a consumer report, or cause a consumer report to be procured, for employment purposes with respect to any consumer, unless ( i ) a clear and conspicuous disclosure has been made in writing to the consumer at any time before the report is procured or caused to be procured, in a document that consists solely of the disclosure, that a consumer report may be obtained for employment purposes ; and ( ii ) the consumer has authorized in writing ( which authorization may be made on the document referred to in clause ( i ) ) the procurement of the report by that person.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I accompanied my friend to Wells Fargo Bank on XX/XX/2022. My friend wanted to add my name to her safe deposit box as a backup in case anything happened to her. To do this, Wells Fargo required me to provide various information, including my license, SSN, employer, etc. At the end of this, Wells Fargo provided me with a contract to sign, which included a mandatory binding arbitration agreement. Upon seeing the terms of this contract, I was unwilling to sign and asked them to cancel the transaction. However, they said there was no way to cancel a transaction once it was started -- that it had to be completed, despite my disagreement with the terms of the contract. 

At this point, we reached an impasse. To resolve the impasse, my friend decided to close the safe deposit box and be done with it. 

However, before we could leave, Wells Fargo required me to sign that I received and agreed with their Customized Summary of the visit. Again, I refused to sign, as I wanted the whole transaction cancelled and did not agree to anything during the visit. In particular, I did NOT agree to the terms of the safe deposit box contract and did NOT agree to the forced arbitration agreement. 

Because they could not obtain my signature, instead, the Wells Fargo representatives signed an attestation that " A member of branch management confirmed the customers consent either in person at the branch or via phone call. '' This was not true - I never gave consent. 

Now, I don't blame the bank representatives -- they appeared to have no choice. Wells Fargo set this up in such a way that bank representatives can not cancel a transaction when a customer refuses the terms of the contract, but must instead move forward and get some type of signature on the customized summary. It shouldn't be this way -- no one should be forced to agree to the terms of a contract that they haven't seen yet, and customers should always have the right to abort the transaction and not sign.
