XXXX XXXX, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equifax as an Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX company incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia, as established notably in XX/XX/XXXX, by Equifax. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, filed an immediate ADVERSE ACTION of financial services against the consumer stated herein to this complaint, without sufficient cause, credible or proper reason, notice, or any justification and/or explanation for such cause resulting in distress, humiliation and violation to the consumers rights and social standing. 

The consumer attempted to resolve the issue immediately by phone as stated according to the ADVERSE ACTION NOTICE received, however, NO SUCH REMEDY for the ADVERSE ACTION was available to the consumer by phone. 

So, immediately following the call, the consumer again, requested a copy of the credit report by fax, for any and/or all account information on file that XXXX XXXX XXXX an EQUIFAX subsidiary would have. 

Since reporting EQUIFAX abuses of the consumers credit report and account, following repeated unauthorized release of the consumers information, unfair score and reporting practices and violations, various undisclosed and inaccuracies are continuing to be exercised against the consumers financial records, accounts, reports and reporting services both by XXXX XXXX, and EQUIFAX which is resulting in undue distress and continuation of unnecessary violations of CFPB guidelines.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I recently viewed my credit report and noticed a capital one account that was not mine. I contacted the creditors explaining that I am a victim of identity theft. I am for certain that the alleged debt did not belong me. They responded via mail stating that they had completed the investigation and the items were not deleted, as requested. I reached back out to them requesting the following ; copies of the original contract with my signature, copies of any papers that I agreed to pay what you say I owe, and explain what bounds me to them.Also, what kind of business dealing have I done with them? By law, everything on my credit report must be accurate, verifiable, and reporting a timely. If not, information must be removed from my credit report. Unfortunately, the problem was not resolved and they have yet to to provide signed documents with my signature.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I opened a XXXX XXXX account though XXXX XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX. I was making payments on time but then fell behind. I received a letter in the mail in XX/XX/XXXX saying they were offering me a settlement offer for {$1600.00}. I called around XX/XX/XXXX to agree to the offer. I gave them the payment information and they processed the payment. The payment came out of my bank account on XX/XX/XXXX. I received a confirmation number and was told my account would be closed and that it would show up on my credit report as paid in full by less than full amount. 

A few weeks after I paid the settlement amount, I received a bill in the mail saying I owed a monthly payment of over {$400.00}. So on XX/XX/XXXX, I called the XXXX XXXX card, spoke to a man named XXXX and asked why I was still receiving payment notification letters after I already settled the account. I was told that it would take about 21 days to close the account and disregard any future emails or bills and I'll receive a letter in 21 days. 

I kept receiving bills and email notifications and noticed that on my credit report it was showing delinquent and affecting my score. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the XXXX XXXX card again this time being more stern in my approach telling them that the account was settled and that it was suppose to be closed 21 days after XX/XX/XXXX and I'm still getting bills. The man named XXXX transferred me to an Account manager named XXXX, who apologized for everything and said she would send an email stating the account is closed and has been settled and would take care of the credit reporting issue too. She mentioned she would call me back in 1-2 days to let me know the status of everything. 

My problem with this whole situation is that it don't seem there's communication being relayed and that my credit has been taking a good hit. 

If there's anything you could do, that would be awesome! 

Thanks, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I called to inquire about this debt that is showing on my credit report that I am not familiar with. The representative was very rude and unprofessional. She would not give me information on how to request that they send me the original documents for the debt and she hung up the phone with me. She attempted to intimidate me the entire time we were on the phone and she was verbally abusive the whole time. 

This collection needs to be removed from my credit report. They have not provided verification that this debt belongs to me.

Complaint narrative:
Attempted to transfer {$6000.00} to Roth IRA account at XXXX XXXX via wire transfer from XXXX  XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2022, Wells Fargo is the bank that handles XXXX 's wire transfers. The account was verified at XXXX  XXXX XXXX and transfer was initiated but was rejected with the amount returned {$5900.00}. There was no disclosure of the exact amount of fee for rejected wire transfers by any bank. This transaction took 10 minutes for {$50.00} profit for Wells Fargo and I never received the service of monies transferred. The account was verified and if the wire went through there is no charge, so why charge for a rejection?? Nevertheless, I attempted to call XXXX  XXXX XXXX and they said it was Wells Fargo who charged the {$50.00}. So I called XXXX and they said even though Wells Fargo handles the wire transfer for brokerage account they can't return the {$50.00} since this is Wells Fargo fee and call Wells Fargo. Called Wells Fargo and they said since I don't have any accounts with them, they can't help me. I told them it was there bank who charged the fee so someone over there should be responsible to talk about wire transfers... they said sorry, can't help. The federal wire transfer # is XXXX and the XXXX  XXXX XXXX transaction Item # : XXXX. Wells FargoXXXX never stated the amount of fee to the consumer or I would have avoided this mishap, let alone say account is verified which can deceive consumers into sending wire transfers thinking everything looks ok.
