Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I've contacted the Credit Reporting Agencies several times both via phone and mail to see why discharged accounts are still be reporting to my credit report. Per IRS, once the creditor has discharged the account, the debt is now canceled and/or forgiven. The debt is now taxable income and is being filed on my taxes. INCOME AND/OR TAXABLE INCOME CAN NOT BE REPORTED ON A CONSUMER 'S PROFILE AS DEBT.

In accordance with 15 USC 1681 ( E ) B, each agency has the responsibility or reporting maximum accuracy to my consumer profile. 

These inaccurate accounts being reported are severely impacting my ability to obtain credit.

Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
My Mortgage was sold to SLS Mortgage XXXX XXXX out of XXXX Colorado, at the end of XXXX. Since they took the loan over, they have been double charging me for escrow. My payments should be based on the taxes and insurance owed, and they are doubling it. Escrow should be based on the YEARLY totals and divided into XXXX equal payments, any shortages would be due to an increase in either insurance or taxes due. My taxes and insurance have both recently gone down, and I am still paying double escrow. I contacted them in XXXX of XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX by phone. Nothing has been done towards the correcting of my escrow payments. I have sent a written request in XXXX of XXXX and have received a letter that they are reviewing it. It's been well over 30 days, and it doesn't take 30 days to take XXXX invoices and add them together and divide by XXXX! This company has already been fined for mischievous behaviors, and apparently believe they are not required by law to follow Mortgage Lending Laws. I sent a check in XX/XX/XXXX for a total of {$2100.00} for ESCROW payment only, and of course they misapplied the payment ; still haven't corrected the escrow, haven't complied with my request for a corrected Escrow Analysis. PLEASE HELP!

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX : My application for a BILT ( Wells Fargo ) credit card was approved and card was shipped. 
I did not receive the card. It was presumably stolen from the mail. 

XX/XX/XXXX : I receive a call from wells fargo about suspected fraud on my card. ( Call went to voicemail ). I logged in and checked that there were indeed transactions on the card that I never received. 
I call Wells Fargo on the helpline number and report that I never received the card and all transactions on the card are unauthorized. The card was cancelled and a new one was shipped. 
Note : Wells Fargo had shipped an activated credit card that was ready to use without ever confirming receipt. I also had no way of de-activating the card online. 

XX/XX/XXXX : I receive the new card and notice that there have also been unauthorized " phone payments '' on the old card. ( total balance was negative showing credit ). I call Wells Fargo and explain once again that all transactions, including payments on the stolen card are invalid. I report two " phone payments '' that I did not make for {$500.00} and {$1000.00}. 

XX/XX/XXXX : I start using the new card after seeing all fraudulent transactions have been reversed and the card account shows no balance. 
For some reason, the payments appear twice - paid, reversed, paid again and reversed again. But the net results cancel out. 

XX/XX/XXXX : One of the fraudulent payment appears on my card as " returned payment '' and my account has a balance of {$500.00}. I call Wells Fargo, and they say that the payment " was returned to the sending account '' and " can not be reversed ''. They open a second fraud investigation case. 

XX/XX/XXXX : The second {$1000.00} payment also shows up as " returned payment '' with my account showing a net balance of {$1500.00}. This is also dated XX/XX/XXXX, but it appeared only on XX/XX/XXXX. I call and report this transaction to Wells Fargo as well. 

Wells Fargo have been unable to resolve the dispute after 15 days, nor are they able to share any details about how they authorized the payments in the first place, where the " reversed '' payments went nor how a " reversed payment '' becomes a charge.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I lodged a complaint against XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion. The reason behind this action stemmed from my individual disputes with each of these credit bureaus in XX/XX/XXXX. At that time, I had informed them that I had fallen victim to identity theft that I noticed after being released from prison. Upon reviewing my credit reports, I noticed several items that were inaccurately attributed to me. Despite submitting my police report, identity theft report, and government-issued identification to support my claim, I did not receive any response from the credit bureaus. 

As a result of their lack of communication and action, on XX/XX/XXXX, I escalated the matter by filing a complaint with you. In my complaint, I requested that the credit bureaus provide evidence of their investigation into the disputed items. I also demanded that they either remove the erroneous entries from my credit report as mandated by law ( which I referenced in my complaint ) or substantiate the validity of these accounts by presenting supporting documents such as contracts or signatures within a specified timeframe of 15 days. While some deletions were observed on my credit report subsequently, I did not receive any formal response from the credit bureaus regarding the resolution of the dispute. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted another complaint against these XXXX companies requesting once again the deletion of the disputed items within XXXX days or proof be provided within 15 days. Despite noticing some deletions, there was still no response, and some items remained. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX responded to the original complaint from XX/XX/XXXX. They stated that they had contacted the furnisher of each disputed item, including XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), First Premier, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and disputed inquiries and stated that these items were verified as being mine but unlike my XXXX prior requests and law states have not provided any proof regarding their investigation or how they were able to verify this debt. 

The lack of response on these remaining items could be a cause for concern and may require further follow-up with XXXX or the respective companies involved. Failure to do this will leave me no choice but to take legal action because they are suppose to verify each item reported prior to reporting, and I have the right to have each item validated and receive proof of each validation.
