Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Failed to comply with Federal regulaions and continuing to report a Date on my account that appears to have opened  XXXX   XXXX  seems to be incorrect and false for unverified account  XXXX  account  XXXX  as well as the first reported date of  XXXX   XXXX  I contact  XXXX  myself and was told by  XXXX  that worked there that they are unable to release third party information without a written consent from account holder in which I have no contract with  XXXX  so I contact Experian and they refuse to provide me with any documents with my wet inked signature. They are reporting things that they claim to have verified so multiple times I have asked for the method of verification in which I have a right to ask by law. But they refuse to comply so I have filed a Complaint with the better business bureau and plan to file one with my state attorney General office because of their failure to obide by the law and Instead they shift the burden on me as the Consumer to get the information which is another violation and not even that i disputed this in  XXXX  that was signed by a rep at Experian and they did not at the time note that i I was in fact disputing  XXXX  in which that is another violation that i have my certified slip along with my credit report date stamped as proof.   Yet Experian has failed to provide me with a copy of any viable evidence submitted by  XXXX . Or provide copy of cancelled checks to prove the last payment received is reported correctly.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX , received a offer in the mail from citibank for a citi simplicity card  XXXX  applied on line as instructed  XXXX  received immediate approval and was offered to transfer balances I put in my balance transfer information and hit submit, the response received was " unable to process your request ''  XXXX  I called citibank, was transferred twice ending with  XXXX  in South Dakota, new applications department  ( n ame of department might be wrong ).  XXXX  informed that with this card citi simplicity, no immediate balance transfers were available. I informed  XXXX  that the application process took me there and said I could do it.  XXXX  acknowledged that this is a known problem.  XXXX  could n't take my balance transformation information over the phone because of " regulations ''.     I find this practice to be misleading. The fact that it is a known problem and continues to exist is even more problematic. It appears that Citibank is misleading customers knowingly. This seems to be a simpl e IT f ix, there is no reason why this should happen.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
XXXX    XXXX   XXXX   is inaccurately reporting payment information to the credit bureau. No payments prior to  XXXX   XXXX  should be reported for this account. The account was transferred from  XXXX   XXXX  in  XXXX  of  XXXX . All payments prior to  XXXX  of  XXXX  were made to  XXXX   XXXX  and are being reported by  XXXX  causing duplicate payment history and the credit bureaus double counting late payments when calculating  the credit score cau sing the score to be lower by  XXXX  basis points. I have contacted  XXXX  regarding this issue and filed disputes with the credit bureau and the information is not corrected.     Original complaint  XXXX  was filed last year.  XXXX  corrected my credit reporting for all three credit bureaus and Transunion for my husband. When I contacted  XXXX  to indicate  XXXX  of the  XXXX  credit bureaus were not fixed for my husband, they then reverted my husband 's Transunion report back to the incorrect reporting and then started reporting his account under my son 's credit reporting  (  son is a  XXXX   ). W hen I contacted them about this, they fixed the incorrect reporting on my son but never the incorrect reporting for my husband. I have been contacting them almost every month to get this resolved but they keep telling me either it is being reported ok or they have to place the account back in a dispute status to fix it which lowers ou r credit score   XXXX  to  XXXX  basis points. Each time they say it will take between 30 to 90 days to fix it. Should this not have been fixed within 90 days of the original dispute filed back in  XXXX  of  XXXX . The inaccurate reporting is causing my husband 's  credit score to  be lower by  XXXX  basis points. We know this because when Transunion was temporarily fixed the score went up by that amount. He wants to purchase a new car but wants his credit to be accurately reflected before it is pulled.     I have been trying to get  XXXX  to fix the inaccurate reporting for almost nine months. They have promised to call back and never do. They say they have to place the account in a dispute status which I do not understand when this information was already disputed, they sent me a letter stating it would be fixed, and they partially fixed it. I also do not understand how  XXXX  and  XXXX  can lower my  credit score  by  XXXX  basis points as soon as the account is put into a 'dispute ' status. Transunion lowers by  XXXX  basis points. If I am disputing inaccruate information on my credit report, why am I being penalized. And when the account is put into dispute it is put into dispute for both my husband and myself which affects both our individual credit scores.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Columbia Collection Service, Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On  XXXX   XXXX ,   XXXX   017 I  mailed dispute letters along with documents of proof to all  XXXX  credit bureaus,  XXXX ,  XXXX , and  XXXX  regarding  XXXX  collection accounts from Columbia Collections that did not belong to me. On  XXXX   XXXX     2017, I re ceived a letter from  XXXX  ( via mail ) and  XXXX  ( via email/online ) that they resulted in having  XXXX  of  XXXX  collection accounts removed from my credit report. Now mind you, these  XXXX  collection accounts belong to the same person  (    XXXX   ) and the actual person entitled to pay all  XXXX  debts is the same as well and only  XXXX  of the lesser debts were removed. I 've provided legal documents for my dispute, stating I am not entitled to any of these debts because the minor was not in my care at the time.     I 've contacted the collection agency , Columbia Collections , and they stated that I am entitled to pay by law ( If that 's the case why were  XXXX  of the  XXXX  accounts closed ), that they did n't know why the credit bureau is stating  XXXX  of the  XXXX  accounts are closed because it 's showing on their end that I still have all  XXXX  accounts still open and we would have to talk to a lawyer ( but I have a court order stating I am not entitled to pay those debts ). Therefore, the results is that they will not rid my information from any of the collection accounts.     So then I contacted   XXXX   regarding my conversation wit h Columbia collec tions and they stated that the collection company did indeed inform them they delete  XXXX  collection accounts and the  XXXX  one, they were claiming was " accurate ''. I even spoke with a   XXXX   supervisor and he said the same thing and they can not remove anything off of my credit file if the collection agency is claiming they have " accurate '' information and that I would have to deal with the collection agency and get a letter from them stating the  XXXX  collection account is deleted so they can remove it from my credit file or file a complaint with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.     All in all, My social security was fraudulently and illegally used in the first place by someone who is not entitled to, and Now  XXXX   XXXX  will not remove my information from these debts or the  XXXX  debt and is illegally attaching my name to something I am not legally entitled to pay for.
