Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Credit Bureau / XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX Im still shocked that you continue to report this above auto loan account into my credit, and you failed to truthfully verify & investigate this account thoroughly. I just include a screenshot below that shows several inconsistencies, misleading, incomplete information on it. Its my understanding that the consumer laws clearly state that information on individual credit reports needs to be reported 100 % accurate and it needs to be 100 % verifiable. As you can see the information below, its not 100 % of either and its reporting misleading and incomplete information. Therefore, its impossible that you verified. Actually, XXXX deleted it immediately from my credit because of these several violations that I pointed out below and I demand that you DELETE it from my credit as well. Its causing this account to illegally re-aged, which is a violation under the provisions of FCRA, and therefore, it can not be reported on my credit report. For example, The HIGH CREDIT BALANCE is different between the 2 credit reporting agencies ; one reports {$9300.00}, and the other {$4300.00}. Its my understanding that the HIGH BALANCE on the charge-off account needs to be higher than the actual balance but not in this case and it needs to be reported. Again, this account is in violation of my consumer rights and it needs to be removed from my credit report. It unverifiable and its reporting incorrect, inaccurate, misleading, and incomplete information. Its completely inconsistent!

I am writing this letter in order to inform you officially about identity theft. I had a good credit, limited debt, and paid most or all of my accounts on time. I have always been very responsible about my credit. I do not recognize these accounts in my credit report now. The fact that numerous accounts are suddenly on my credit should make it obvious that these accounts are not mine and never were. Please remove these accounts from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
Several years ago a vehicle was incorrectly listed on my credit report. All 3 reporting agencies : XXXX, Transunion & XXXX, refused to report it accurately as the lender stated that it was correct. This has made it impossible for me to rent or get a mortgage for over 5 years. Recently, the lender reached out and sent a letter of apology and a cashiers check to make up for their error. I sent this letter to the credit reporting agencies, and they still refuse to remove it from my reports. This is not only scandalous, it should be illegal. I want XXXX XXXX account removed, in its entirety, from all of my reports. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

On XX/XX/20 i disputed a XXXX XXXX credit reporting for incorrect information. The XXXX account was removed from my credit report.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I wrote a check from my Wells Fargo checking account to pay my Wells Fargo Visa Card for {$XXXX}. On XX/XX/XXXX this said check cleared my account for the incorrect amount of {$33.00}. I called Wells Fargo to correct the problem and they were unable to do so. To avoid late fees, I paid {$XXXX} ( the difference ) online. On XX/XX/XXXX, Wells Fargo cleared the original check payment of {$XXXX} from my checking account after I requested on a recorded line to reject the transaction. The funds were removed from my Wells Fargo checking account without my permission on XX/XX/XXXX and the {$XXXX} credits were not posted to any other of my Wells Fargo accounts. In my lengthy conversation with Wells Fargo they claimed they can not locate and credit my account the {$XXXX} duplicated payment for at least 14 days. This is out right theft from Wells Fargo Bank. The only thing Wells Fargo offered me was to start an investigation and it will take 10 to 14 days to resolve. I will have no access to the {$XXXX} funds and I will not be compensated for interest while the funds are with Wells Fargo Bank. 

Can you start an investigation on Wells Fargo Bank so that I can recover my funds and prevent this from happening to other consumers.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have had my account with Citi since XX/XX/XXXX. I had a {$XXXX} limit. I used the card sparingly for travel or small purchases. i always paid my card on time and never approached my limit. I had not used the card for a period of time. In XXXX of XXXX, This was split into two purchases of approximately {$1900.00} each at the start and finish of a car repair. On XX/XX/XXXX I was notified my limit had been reduced to just over my balance. I contacted them for an explanation and request to return my limit to it's original limit. They refuses and advised I could ask for a review in 6 months. This has damaged my credit score since, going from XXXX in XXXX to XXXX in XXXX. due to the lack of available balance. Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) they again reduced my limit to just {$60.00} above my current balance. I anticipate this will have the same affect again, and cause my score to be reduced. I contacted them again today and was provided the same response as before, which was 'due to credit report and other factors ', I closed the account as a result. This type of activity has directly damaged my credit and practices like this are unfair and border on abusive, especially during such a difficult time ( COVID ). I pay nearly 2x my monthly payment split bi-weekly when paid. Thank you for reviewing my complaint.
