Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX I have contacted Equifax 4 times a month since XXXX, they keep reporting an address I have never lived at on my credit file. I am always told by them it will be deleted with in 24-48 business hours, I will always receive a dispute confirmation that it was deleted, but then it would be re added to my credit profile the following day. I was told that they would block the address and never did. My last call I spoke with XXXX who had no intention to help me, she put me on long holds to laugh and giggle with her other employees you could hear it every time she un-mute her phone. They do not take their job seriously and I constantly lied to. The address has reappeared XX/XX/2017, XXXX advised to me it would be removed. I have faxed them XXXX, social security card, and utility bill. I have even went out my way to email the CEO, everyone think this is joke. I've reached out to all my creditors even the ones that are listed poorly on my account and no one has that address for me, I want this address deleted. This is not my address. I have submitted a complaint to XXXX and this was the response : Dear XXXX XXXX, we received the complaint you submitted through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Portal. Equifax has reviewed the complaint and its records. The disputed address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Florida XXXX is currently not reporting on the Equifax credit file. Please note that for future disputes of credit report information, you may visit www.equifax.com.  Clearly there was no investigation, because every phone call had nothing to do with that address, they never too the time to review the calls or disputes!!! This is fraud, they will not even let me dispute online. Each time I call they tell me they will note the account. If there is notes on the account then they would investigate this correctly and have the correct address. There should only be one address.

Complaint narrative:
The company is reporting on my credit file, not once has the company sent me a letter about the debt. I was and I am not aware of any debt owed to this company. The amount is for XX/XX/XXXX {$120.00} for XXXX XXXX and for {$590.00} for a debt in XX/XX/XXXX this is fraud, I have never received a letter informing about a bill. I have contacted XXXX and was advised XX/XX/XXXX they have nothing for me at all and during this time the company was called progress energy and they can not locate a file for me for XX/XX/XXXX. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681g I have the right to demand that you disclose to me all of the documents that you have recorded and retained in your file at the time of this request concerning the accounts that you are reporting in my credit report.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2018 I received a letter from BB & T bank notifying me of a {$20.00} redeposited check that was returned for nonsufficient funds. It was noted that there was NSF/OD fees that were incurred as a result of this chargeback. I immediately called BB & T centralized operations at XXXX. They informed me that my account was assessed {$36.00} as a result of the returned check causing an overdraft. I asked to have the fee reversed, and they agreed. They informed me that I would have to take care of this at the local branch, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX PA XXXX. The manager graciously agreed to help, however, in the meantime, the banking system updated and charged an additional fee of {$8.00} for a negative balance for over 7 days. When she tried to correct the charges, it started by reversing the {$8.00} fee that should have been assessed and prevented her from reversing the overdraft fee of {$36.00}. The system, at her level, blocked her from reversing the fees. She notified me, as per company policy, the system would only allow one complimentary reversal per 24 months. The 7 day negative balance fee should not have been assessed due to the fact that it was only day 6. She instructed me to call XXXX. They told me their system would not allow for this correction and refused to correct or escalate the matter.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I have recently been informed that Equifax maintain a Tax Lien in their file under my Social Security number. Upon ordering a copy of my credit report, I see an entry listing in the amount of {$31000.00}. 

XXXX County Recorder Case # XXXX does not report Tax Lien to credit bureaus. The New Credit law inXX/XX/XXXX says that federal law protects the privacy of most personally identifiable information reported. However, credit bureaus actively search public records for any judgements or tax liens. 

A Tax Lien filing is public information. Again XXXX County Recorder does not report anything to the various credit bureaus, nor do they verify that the information reported is accurate. Equifax, XXXX, XXXX has found information on Tax Lien through third party research. 

Transunion and Experian have already removed this from their file so I sent 2 certified letters XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to Equifax since they are the only one showing this Tax Lien to validate this information and provide me with copies of any documentation associated with this account bearing my signature. In the absence of any such documentation bearing my signature. I formally request that this information be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my Social Security number. I received a reply back from Equifax that it was validated by XXXX in which I never received anything of the such. So I sent them another certified letter again this time one to Equifax and one to XXXX requesting my signature to validate this information. This time Equifax sent me a Reinvestigation letter stating that XXXX XXXX XXXX is currently not reporting on the Equifax file. So not true, I requested another credit report and it was still there as of today. I did not get any results from the credit bureaus which has brought me to file this complaint. I will also be filing today XX/XX/XXXX with the Attorney General Office and the Better Business Bureau. This need to be deleted off of my record immediately as it is affecting my credit scores. I also sent them a copy of the New Credit Law where all the bureaus agree to delete all tax lien and judgements off of credit reports.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
First week of XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter in the mail stating that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX would soon become American Express XXXX Honors " XXXX " ( not sure if that is correctly spelled ) card. I assumed that XXXX XXXX  would close my account, send me a bill and Amex would send me a new card. None of this happened. Instead I am flying out for work and my card didn't work any longer. I called XXXX bank from the airport and they explained that XXXX sold their account to American Express and XXXX has no way of viewing or sending me any other information. Everything is now in the hands of XXXX. I call XXXX with a number provided by XXXX. After a half an hour of talking to them and explaining that I have not gotten any info from them or a card. They said they would rush one to me as I returned from my work trip. Nothing came. I called on Tuesday XX/XX/XXXX and it was supposed to be to me no later than Sat. XX/XX/XXXX. I called back from the airport on my next trip and again another half hour and three reps and I told them to close my account and bill me. Then they sent me to another rep who started all over again. Then they emailed me after and I returned the email to close my account and bill me. I don't want to do business with this kind of company that can not be professional and responsible. I don't know what to do at this point. I want my bill so I can pay it off and close the account. But I keep getting no where.

Company: ID Analytics, Inc.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Who the heck is XXXX XXXX XXXX? I recently applied for a car loan through a dealer and was accepted as I have outstanding credit. I currently have credit freezes on my and my wife 's credit with the big three bureaus - XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX   because no one can keep our information safe. 

I got a letter from XXXX XXXX stating my credit was denied even though I had a very favorable credit score returned from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The day this was run there was actually a problem with XXXX hitting against XXXX  as I had not un-froze my credit with them. Other banks approved my loan due to my outstanding credit after I temporarily lifted my freeze. 

My questions are these : - I thought there were only the big three credit reporting agencies ( listed above )? 
- Who is XXXX XXXX XXXX? and why has no one heard of them? 
- There are numerous complaints on the web of similar cases, or in some cases XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting scores much lower than they should be or are with the other agencies. 
- I called XXXX XXXX XXXX and all I got was a Voice Mail box. 
- People do not trust providing XXXX, XXXX, a company they have never heard of, their personal information to freeze their credit. And you can not do it over the phone as their web site states you can. 
- XXXX XXXX  is tied to many of the companies online and many people have received letters from XXXX like I did. 

To make matters worse, I am a current XXXX car loan customer and they know my outstanding credit history, and they send me a denial letter? I have called XXXX and ripped them a new one and I'm not done yet! 

I am filing a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX for providing XXXX XXXX incorrect information about myself and misrepresentation of my credit. This is absurd and this company needs to be shut down immediately.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/, I selected a balance transfer offer at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with my preexisting Barclays Commence credit card for {$8800.00}. The terms very clearly stated the following : 0 % Annual percentage rate for 15 months 3 % Balance Transfer Fee ( {$5.00} minimum / no maximum ) This month, much to my surprise, I found an interest charge on my credit card statement associated with this {$8800.00} balance transfer. I called customer support and escalated to a supervisor and then another manager, all of which told me the offer I described was not available on my account currently, so there was nothing they could do to honor the offer I described. There is no way I would have signed up for anything other than a 0 % balance transfer offer, especially consider that I had several other of these offers from other non-Barclays banks with my preexisting credit cards. 

So far, I have paid the original 3 % balance transfer fee of {$260.00}, which was expected. The fees I have incurred that I should not have incurred based on the 0 % balance transfer I signed up for :XX/XX/XXXX INTEREST CHARGE {$19.00} XX/XX/ INTEREST CHARGE {$110.00} The support team at Barclays said they would have their technical support team review whether or not there was a glitch on the system, and that this would take 30 days. In the interim, I will be charged more interest fees. The support person didn't seem to think it was likely that this would be ruled in my favor, so I'm basically stuck with Barclays telling me there's nothing they can do.
