Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I want to emphasize that I did not provide written authorization for the inclusion of these specific transactions in my consumer report. Therefore, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report. It is crucial to clarify that this request is not due to any oversight or error on my part. Rather, it stems from the fact that I did not expressly permit these transactions to be included in my report.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: Kikoff Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my KIKOFF LEND - XXXX. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I received a phone call from " XXXX '' who claimed to be with the Wells Fargo fraud department. His caller ID said " Wells Fargo '' and the number ID matched the one on the back of my debit card. He claimed that a suspicious activity was occurring in my account and we needed to stop the wire theft and retrieve the funds. He knew the last XXXX digits of my social security number so I believed him. There were XXXX wire transactions- XXXX for {$5300.00} and another for {$8200.00}. He then asked me to confirm a code sent via text to me that said it was from XXXX XXXX I confirmed the code. This process continued for about XXXX more codes and " XXXX '' then confirmed that they were registering the fraud with Wells Fargo fraud department. I was to be called the next morning to confirm. That call never came. Before hanging up, this person asked that my wife and I set up call forwarding to XXXX so that they could intercept any fraud calls. Essentially they set us up so that the real Wells Fargo fraud unit could not reach us. The funds ( {$13000.00} ) were then wired out to an account in the name of XXXX XXXX at XXXXXXXX XXXX. By the time I realized what had happened, I cancelled the call forwarding and contacted Wells Fargo. The scammers had emptied our savings and checking accounts, and also somehow managed to draw down on an old line of credit that I thought was cancelled ( part of the {$5300.00} ) ; they also took a cash withdrawal from my XXXX XXXX XXXX basically taking the money I had just sent to make the payment on that card ( {$700.00} ). These scammer were quite sophisticated insofar as they had somehow hacked into our accounts to sound knowledgeable enough to convince me of their authenticity.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report.

Company: SOFI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I opened a SoFi account for both banking and investing purposes. Unfortunately, on XX/XX/XXXX, SoFi froze my accounts, including open investment positions, for five consecutive days. This prevented me from managing my portfolio and potentially mitigating any losses. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, without any prior warning or explanation, SoFi terminated my account and forcibly liquidated all my assets. This resulted in significant financial losses for me. 

In particular, I had an options trade ( e.g., call/put option, expiring in XXXX ) that held a positive value of over {$300.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. Despite this value, SoFi closed the position for a mere {$0.00}, resulting in a 100 % loss on a profitable trade. I have documented proof ( screenshots ) of this specific position 's value before closure. SoFi exposed me to significant risk for 3 days having my account frozen while they make a decision. They never once offered me the option to transfer my assets to a new broker. They instead liquidated all of my assets for losses. Giving me no fighting chance as an investor. 

Furthermore, due to the account freeze, I was unable to manage risk in other holdings, leading to additional losses of approximately {$500.00}. 

My attempts to resolve this issue with SoFi customer service proved frustrating. I experienced long wait times exceeding one hour and encountered rude behavior from representatives, specifically XXXX and XXXX. 

Request : I request the assistance in recovering my financial losses or my investments returned to me due to SoFi 's actions. Specifically, I seek : Reimbursement for the funds unfairly lost due to the premature closure of my options trade ( $ XXXX ). 
Compensation for the additional losses ( {$500.00} ) incurred during the account freeze. 
I am prepared to provide all the necessary documentation ( screenshots ) to support my claims. 

Closing : Thank you for your time and consideration in resolving this matter. I look forward to your assistance in holding SoFi accountable for their actions. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
