Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I want to be absolutely clear : I did not approve these transactions to be in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. So, I formally ask to block and remove them from my record. This isn't a mistake, nor is it based on any misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my clear consent or instruction. I'm stressing this to show how serious my request is. It's based on accurate info, and I'm not trying to deceive or manipulate the situation.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
This account [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] was charged off on the date : ( XX/XX/XXXX ) Ever since then the date of last activity has been improperly and inconsistently updated. On XXXX it shows last activity was ( XX/XX/XXXX ), On Equifax it shows that the last activity was ( XX/XX/XXXX ) & On XXXX it shows ( XX/XX/XXXX )! 

To my knowledge, the law says ALL credit reporting agencies must work together and be joined to report the same information accurately. This account isn't reporting the same across ALL so that must not be the case and this account needs to be removed immediately. 

According to 15 USC 1681b ( e ) ( 6 ) - Notification system by agencies that operate nationwide : Each consumer reporting agency that compiles and maintains files on consumers on a nationwide basis shall establish and maintain a notification system for purposes of paragraph ( 5 ) jointly with other such consumer reporting agencies. 

Due to the fact that things are being reported differently between Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX, it's clear that you all aren't in compliance with the law and my rights are being violated. A notification system is not being maintained and therefore this account is INACCURATE! No inaccuracies may be reported. On several occasions, you failed to investigate this account properly and therefore I DEMAND YOU TO DELETE THIS ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I paid off a student loan on XX/XX/2024 in the amount of {$1100.00}. When I went to look at my account it said I had a balance of {$62.00}. I called Mohela on XX/XX/2024 and spoke with a customer service representative. I requested to have them adjust the accrued interest to backdate to the date that I made my full payment to XXXX off this student loan on XX/XX/2024 I also requested to have this amount of {$62.00} write off my account. The representative that I spoke to said she would put in a request on XX/XX/2024 and that it would take approximately 11 business days for this to be removed off the account. I called back today and the representative I spoke to said they were not able to do that for me and now the interest amount has accrued. I made a payment to pay off the {$62.00} and when I went back to look at the account there is a reminder balance of XXXX cents on this account. I have spoken to multiple different representatives and I have been given the run around, and my account is still accruing interest due to them failing to promptly credit my account and would like to get this resolved immediately. Thank you.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I submitted 5 online disputes to reverse a charge with Goldman Sachs Apple Card with the last call on XX/XX/XXXX for a XX/XX/2023 transaction with XXXX for {$1200.00}. On that day I purchased two items from XXXX that were properly identified as separate transactions for two different vendors with a reference number and description paid by my XXXX XXXX card. There is no record of the {$1200.00} on XXXX and I cant file a complaint on XXXX. I have asked Goldman Sachs to trace the charge back to XXXX to identify the vendor to determine legitimacy because it is fraud but they wont. I suspect the problem may be related to Apple making Goldman Sachs the default credit card overriding my XXXX XXXX card. I had to go to the system app on my XXXX to designate my XXXX as the default credit card. Apple is directing a lot of business to Goldman Sachs and I did not apply for the card like I did with my other credit card.

A person called from a phone number ( XXXX ) XXXX identified as Wells Fargo called me to inform me that a person named XXXX XXXX from XXXX, FL was trying to apply for a joint credit card with my social security number.

Another person then answered a phone and said her name was XXXX XXXX phone number XXXX. She said she was pulling up my file and began to ask me to verify my debt.

Then she began to ask me about my credit cards and wanted me to tell her my expiration dates. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked her for her phone number and if I could call her back. But I looked up the CFPB to call and it is closed and the number is different.

Congress finds there is a need to insure that the consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. I am the authorized representative and original creditor on behalf of : XXXX XXXX XXXX Upon review of my credit report, I have noticed discrepancies in the information reported by XXXX, XXXX and XXXX.

Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
This is an invalid account. I have never done any business with this company ; I have never been made aware or presented with a notice of debt to dispute the validity of this account. I have disputed this account several times and the company can never provide a contract and or repayment agreement in which I signed with them. This company was given my information illegally. Not only does this company report a balance for something unknown, the original creditor ( Exeter ) is also reporting a balance owed ( that actually is not because the vehicle was sold in an auction for more than what it was worth ). This creditor can not produce an itemized bill stating what this balance is for. I will not pay something if I don't know what it is for. The original account has been closed so it should no longer be reported.
