Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX, Experian, and XXXX  will not remove a collection account from my file that I have disputed since I discovered it on my reports. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX XXXX XXXX placed a Collection account on my credit files for {$1800.00} on behalf of XXXX Bank. The account has been on my credit profile since XX/XX/XXXX. 

I have disputed this over and over since XX/XX/XXXX. The credit bureaus continue to say they have already " validated the debt '' in a previous dispute and they refuse to contact the original creditor and dispute the claim correctly. 

I have reported this to the original creditor years ago as a fraudulent account. XXXX still sent the account to a collection agency knowing I was disputing the fact that the account was even mine in the first place.

Complaint narrative:
I've been trying to resolve the multiple negative student loan accounts on my credit report. The Credit Bureau ( XXXX, TransUnion ) are neglecting to verify the accounts properly to determine which ones are duplicates or original. Due to poor lack of investigation and communication I'm requesting that all of the accounts be removed. All of the loans in question and the negative accounts that have been reported are hurting my scores.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX Southern Credit Recovery received and SIGNED the return receipt mail ( dispute ) that I sent to them. On XX/XX/XXXX I obtained a copy of my credit profile and noticed they did NOT COMPLY with Fair Debt Reporting Act Section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) and Section 807 ( 8 ) by not placing a dispute remark on the credit profile to the 3 credit bureaus. A well as they did NOT VALIDATE or VERIFY this debt. They did NOT send me a signed contract or anything that shows I am obligated to pay for this alleged debt, which is NOT mine. 
Enclosed : front and back of certified mail with their signiture showing receipt and a print out of my credit profile showing it was not placed for dispute in the amount of time given.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX my son opened up a XXXX XXXX credit card. Several years later he put me on the account as a signer. ( during those years XXXX XXXX sold those accounts to three different banks ) My son attempted to take me off the account as a signer in late XX/XX/XXXX and was advised that this account was now a joint account and I could not be taken off. He wrote to XXXX XXXX   and adived them that this joint account status was incorrect and asked for them to supply proof that both my son and I signed the application when the account was opened. 
XXXX XXXX wrote back and advised that they purchsed the assets from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and they had no proof that the account was a joint account as they could not locate a copy of the credit application. 

My son became XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and I am his full time XXXX. My son stopped paying this and other bills as he is now XXXX. 

I need to keep my credit rating up and this mistake has hurt my credit scores on all the reporting agencies. I understand that the full amount on the account, about {$24000.00} was charged off last month. 

I understand that the Fair Credit Reporting Act says that the reporting agencies must show proof of the various claims or take the negitive comments off the report. Clearly in this case this has not happened.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
Chase Credit Card services closed all my credit cards ( total 8 ) on XX/XX/XXXX without any notice. 
When I contacted Chase, they opened a review of this closure but I got a call on XX/XX/XXXX that they standby that decision and they will NOT reinstate none of the credit cards. Reason they gave was : 1. Many opened credit cards 2. Spike in large revolving balance I tried to argue my case that I applied for not more than 5 credit card in last 2 years or so and only recently applied for Chase XXXX credit cards. I am keeping cards ( and paying annual fees ) to increase my average age of accounts. 
I regularly pay my balances on time and has not delayed card card payment even once in entire credit history. 

While I understand that its Chase prerogative to extend credit line to me but I do think that this closure is unfairly done as I have not exhibited any behavior which deserves such an action.

XXXX and XXXX   deleted the collection account from my credit report ; however, on all occasions, XXXX stated the information was verified and accurate ; however, XXXX  nor Credit Service Company Inc. has never sent any documentation to support their response as I requested, only that the debt was verified ; however, I requested the debt to be validated. Under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ), proof that I am indeed the party you are asking to pay this debt, the date of the alleged medical service, the name of the patient, and proof that there is some contractual obligation which is binding on me to pay this debt.

I have reached out to All credit bureaus some have refused my request to dispute the unauthorized inquiries on my credit profile. 
I have asked them to investigate. 
XXXX employees told me they don't investigate disputes, They told me I have to reach out to the creditor to obtain a letter of deletion. After reaching out to the creditors they told me I have to call the credit bureaus and request a dispute. So I recontacted the Credit Bureaus and attempted to get them to honor my request to check out the unauthorized inquiries. They continue to give me the runaround and hanging up in my face 3 times. 

XXXX started off giving me a run around for my request. Telling me to reach out the creditor. By telling them I already have done this and a threat of contacting CFPB they open disputes. But when I go to the dispute center in XXXX it seems as if they doubled up on disputes and missed out on a couple of disputes in the date range of XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX.
