Company: Escrow Inc

Complaint narrative:
I am the seller in transaction number XXXX on XXXX. After the transaction was successfully completed, XXXX transferred the amount of {$7600.00} USD to my XXXX XXXX bank account on XX/XX/XXXX. However, after XXXX days, the funds had not been credited to my account. Upon inquiry with XXXX, I was informed that the bank had returned the funds. I requested that they provide proof of this, but XXXX failed to provide any documentation. 

Escrow.com then asked me to provide a new bank account number. I provided another bank account ( which is fully operational and has successfully received funds from XXXX in the past ), but the transfer still hasnt been made. 

Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have been following up with Escrow.com every day, and each time their response has been the same : " The funds team is reviewing the situation and will process the payment within one business day. '' From XX/XX/XXXX to today, I have been receiving the same reply every time, and they have refused to provide any proof of the situation. 

I suspect that Escrow.com XXXX be engaging in illegal activities related to withholding or misappropriating the funds. I am requesting an investigation into this matter.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
My GAP insurance provider confirmed in writing that they issued a {$1200.00} refund directly to Wells Fargo Auto for my auto loan. The first time I called Wells Fargo, I was told the refund was received and would post in 30 days. After 30 days, I was told the refund had been applied to something called dealer reserve, which doesnt make sense and does not reduce my loan balance. The representative couldnt explain what dealer reserve meant and told me to call back when the GAP department is open. The third time, I was on hold for XXXX minutes and told again to call back later. I have no way to get written responses from Wells Fargo Auto, and this refund has still not been properly credited to my loan. I am requesting that Wells Fargo apply the {$1200.00} refund to reduce my loan balance and provide written confirmation of this action.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally demand your agency 's compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in connection with the ongoing mishandling of my credit file. Despite multiple dispute attempts, you have failed to remove fraudulent accounts that do not belong to me and continue to report unverifiable information. 

This conduct is in direct violation of federal law and my consumer rights. The accounts listed below were opened fraudulently as a result of identity theft. I have submitted several dispute letters requesting their removal, yet you have responded with vague and non-substantive explanations that do not meet the legal standards required under the FCRA.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are legally obligated to perform a meaningful investigation upon receipt of a consumer dispute. Your continued reliance on form responses without providing original validation of the debts in question constitutes noncompliance.

Moreover, 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) mandates that consumer reporting agencies ensure the highest possible level of accuracy in reporting. Your agencys failure to take corrective action demonstrates a reckless disregard of these obligations.

You are hereby given 30 days from the date of this letter to provide the following : XXXX. Full and original verification documents from the creditors proving the validity of the accounts in questionnot generic responses ; XXXX. A comprehensive outline of the investigation performed, detailing each step taken ; XXXX. The names, job titles, and contact details of the individuals responsible for reviewing and responding to my dispute ; XXXX. Written confirmation that all unverifiable information has been permanently deleted from my credit file pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ).

If you fail to respond adequately within the timeframe stated, I will pursue immediate legal action. This includes filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and the XXXX  State Attorney General. I will also proceed with litigation under 15 U.S.C. 1681n for willful noncompliance, which allows for the recovery of statutory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, and costs.

The following accounts are fraudulent, and I have already received confirmation from the relevant banks that they should not be associated with my credit profile. Please review and remove these accounts immediately, and provide supporting verification if you continue to report them : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as a formal demand for compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding the handling of my credit report. I have requested the following accounts listed below to removed from my credit report due to identity theft. This is my several attempt to resolve this matter. The previous letters have come with zero compliance. Your failure to provide verifiable proof and your reliance on generic, non-substantive responses violate federal law and my consumer rights. I will not tolerate these deliberate evasions.

Despite my repeated disputes, your agency has failed to provide legally required documentation proving the validity of the reported information. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), upon receiving a dispute, you are legally required to conduct a meaningful investigation and provide substantive evidence verifying the accuracy of the disputed account. Your boilerplate responses do not meet this legal standard, and your continued negligence constitutes a blatant violation of federal law.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), you are required to maintain maximum possible accuracy in consumer credit reports. Your continued reporting of unverified and inaccurate information, despite my multiple disputes, demonstrates reckless disregard for the law and my rights.

You have 30 days from the date of this letter to provide the following : 1.Actual verification of the disputed accounts, including original documentation from the data furnisher proving the validity of the debtnot generic statements from the creditor or data furnisher.

2.A detailed explanation of the investigation conducted, including the specific steps taken to verify the accuracy of the information.

3.The names, contact information, and job titles of the individuals who handled my dispute.

4.A statement confirming removal of any information that can not be fully verified as per 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ).

Failure to comply will result in immediate legal action. I am fully prepared to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my states Attorney General. Additionally, I will explore all legal avenues, including but not limited to, filing a lawsuit for willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which entitles me to statutory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, and costs.

The following accounts do not belong to me, as they are fraudulent. The banks have agreed to remove these accounts from my records. Im confused why you still feel theyre reporting accurately. Please see these accounts are fully investigated and VERIFIABLE PROOF IS FORWARED TO ME.
