Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to request the deletion of a specific account from my credit report with TransUnion Consumer Solutions due to inaccurate and inconsistent information, based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
Details of the Account in Dispute : Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Incorrect information identified in reports from all three credit bureaus. 
Legal Grounds for Information Deletion : Right to Accurate Information ( FCRA, Section 609 - 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) : I request that the authenticity of this account be manually verified with the original creditor, rather than relying on the automated e-OSCAR system, and that I receive a detailed explanation of the verification process.

Reinvestigation of Disputed Information ( FCRA, Section 611 - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : Under this section, I demand a full reinvestigation of the account and immediate correction of any inaccurate information. 
Deletion of Inaccurate or Unverified Information ( FCRA, Section 611 ( 5 ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) ) : In accordance with the FCRA, if the information can not be verified, it must be removed from the report.

Responsibility of Information Furnishers ( FCRA, Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) : The creditors inability to validate this information warrants its removal.

Compliance with Accuracy Procedures ( FCRA, Section 607 - 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : The inaccuracy in my report suggests a failure to adhere to required accuracy procedures.

Permissible Purposes for Access ( FCRA, Section 604 - 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) : I request confirmation that access to my report was legitimate. If it was not, I request the removal of any unauthorized data.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA, Section 1601 - 15 U.S.C. 1601 ) : TILA reinforces my right to accurate information, and the presence of this inaccurate account contradicts that right.

Supporting Case Law : In Cortez v. Trans Union, LLC ( 617 F.3d 688 ), the responsibility of credit bureaus to adequately investigate consumer disputes is emphasized. Dennis v. BEH-1, LLC further reinforces the obligation to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure accuracy.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I tried to send wire to my trading account, that triggered citibank fraud department to lock my citibank account. in order to unlock my account, they had to send me reference number through mail to my apartment. They said it would take XXXX business days to receive the mail, however, i've waited for nearly a month now and never received any mail from citibank. i saw many people complaining about the same issue on the internet. I need to get my money back asap, however, citibank refuses to provide any help without the reference number. i offered to pay by myself for them to send the reference number through XXXX OR XXXX so that i can track where the letter actually is, they refused. I go to the citibank branch where i opened the account, they give me the same answer " with your account being locked, we can not do anything ''. So i'm stuck with not receiving the reference number through mail and thus not being able to do anything to get my money back from citibank. 

an alternative way for citibank to verify my identity is through text message send to my verified phone number, which i put to be on public record per citibank 's requirement. But still, citibank refuses to send security code to my verified phone number, the only way for them to unlock my account ( and for further actions ) is for me to receive the reference number through mail, but they just never being able to send such a letter to my apartment. 

I need my money back, lack of the money has caused tremendous trouble to my life. Citibank specialists just kicks me around without actually helping me to resolve the identification issue.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute an item on my credit report related to a collection account from Wells Fargo ( Account Number : [ insert account number here ] ). According to my records, I fully paid off this debt in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. However, it is still showing as a collection account on my credit report, and I am requesting that it be removed. 

Here are the details of the situation : Debt Paid in Full : I paid the full amount owed to Wells Fargo in XXXX of XXXX, as per the agreement. 
Discrepancy in Reporting : I contacted Wells Fargo to inform them that I had paid off the debt and requested that they update their records and notify the collection agency. Unfortunately, they informed me that they did not receive confirmation of the payment. 
Inability to Contact Collection Agency : I have since attempted to reach the collection agency but have been unsuccessful in making contact. As a result, the collection account is still appearing on my credit report, even though the debt was paid in full. 
Request for Removal : Since the debt has been settled in full and there seems to be a reporting error, I am requesting that you investigate this matter and remove the collection account from my credit report as soon as possible. 
Please let me know if you need any further documentation from me, such as proof of payment, communication records with Wells Fargo, or anything else to assist in resolving this issue. I am eager to have this matter corrected and my credit report updated to reflect the accurate information.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Sears contacted my wife and made a deal of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX a month on an account thats already closed keep in mind we only owe them XXXX XXXX 



Im furious that sears have still not taken accountability for the damage they caused. 

We made multiple attempts to resolve this issue from day one.

And we ended up fighting with sears customer service every step of the way.

After exhausting all efforts to resolve this situation I realized that Sears didnt want to resolve issue and the people from customer service are no help they only want to threaten you and intimidate you into sending them money.

This is business and it should be handled in a professional manner.

I will provide documentation to prove how sears affected our financial situation as they took money from my account which caused my mortgage payment to be rejected due to insufficient funds, Ive never had a late payment with my mortgage company. 



It wasnt until I contacted the CFPB that my money was returned to my account, but the damage was already done. 



But Im skeptical of sears and there deals that is why Im filing this second complaint with the CFPB, so we get a fair deal and close this payment debacle forever. 

Sears Account number XXXX XXXX XXXX Sears XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I went in to purchase a new truck. In the process of purchasing a new truck they checked my credit score. After checking my credit score I was informed it had gone from a XXXX to a XXXX. After finding out this information I checked my credit report which showed I had a missed payment to a federal student loan company called Nelnet. After finding out this information I contacted Nelnet. While speaking with a representative they informed me that they had 4 different phone numbers on my account. One of these said numbers belonged to me, while the other 3 did not. When I asked why they had never emailed or called to inform me of this information they told me that they did not have an email address from me. While digging more deeply into the information I was informed that my old student loan company, Great Lakes, had gone out of business and Nelnet had taken over the loans. I was not made aware of this. While speaking with them further they told me that on XX/XX/year> they had called my cell phone. I do not typically pick up phone calls from unknown numbers, always assuming it is a scam. When I asked why they would not have left a voice message the representative said they typically do not leave voice messages. About 3 days after the phone call on XX/XX/year>, they dropped my credit score down to XXXX because of this missed payment. I have no problems paying the payment but the impact to my credit score is my issue with this company. I believe it is a complete lack of communication and an act of incompetence by Nelnet to not reach out with an official statement that my credit score would be affected. They have significantly impacted my life with tactics that seem almost intentional in order to affect my credit score, as well as boost their rate of the allotted money I owe them by means of the interest.
