Consumer complaint received 2025-09-11 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing two charges made through XXXX for my honeymoon stay at the XXXX XXXX. The hotel failed to provide the most basic contracted services, and Wells Fargo denied my chargeback disputes for these transactions without explanation. 

On XX/XX/year>, I booked XXXX nights for {$310.00} ( XXXX XXXX # XXXX ). 

On XX/XX/year>, I booked an additional night for {$160.00} ( XXXX XXXX # XXXX ). 
XXXX paid : {$470.00}. 

During my stay, the hotel had no hot water for showers, poor ventilation, and a strong musty odor, making the rooms uninhabitable and unsafe. Despite repeated complaints, the hotel staff refused or were unable to fix the problems. I contacted XXXX multiple times. They admitted in writing that they attempted to reach the hotel manager multiple times without success. Instead of refunding me, XXXX offered only {$25.00} in travel credit - completely inadequate given that I received no usable service and had to pay for alternative accommodations out of pocket. 

I filed chargeback disputes with Wells Fargo for both transactions. Wells Fargo denied my disputes, stating only that I agreed to the terms when booking. This reasoning is unacceptable. Agreeing to booking terms does not mean I agreed to pay for a room without hot water, unsafe conditions, or a hotel failing to provide the basic contracted services. I did not receive what I paid for - a clean, habitable room - and this was particularly important because this was my honeymoon trip, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

I requested a written explanation from Wells Fargo regarding why my disputes were denied, but they did not provide one. Their handling of my chargeback disputes violates the fair dispute resolution obligations under federal regulations, and they failed to protect me as a consumer.

I am requesting Wells Fargo to reverse the XXXX charges totaling {$470.00} or provide a proper explanation and resolution consistent with their obligations under federal consumer protection and credit card dispute rules.

This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this follow-up complaint regarding fraudulent information on my credit report that remains unresolved, despite my previous complaint filed 30 days ago. I am disputing this information pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and again request that the fraudulent/unauthorized accounts listed below be blocked or removed immediately.

I have attached a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as fraudulent within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving an identity theft report. However, despite my prior complaint and multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly with TRANSUNION, the following fraudulent accounts remain on my credit reporXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These accounts are fraudulent and must be blocked immediately. The continued presence of these accounts is severely damaging my creditworthiness and is preventing me from purchasing a home and accessing essential financial services to support my family and economic stability. 

I have requested verification and copies of contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, but after more than 60 days, I have received no response. Additionally, these accounts have been removed by other credit reporting agencies due to lack of verification, yet TRANSUNION continues to report them as mine without proper validation. 

I respectfully urge the CFPB to intervene and ensure that TRANSUNION complies with federal law by blocking these fraudulent accounts immediately and providing me with confirmation of such action.

Complaint narrative:
These accounts are being reported under my name without my authorization or awareness, and I have never opened, authorized, or managed them. This is unacceptable and constitutes a serious misrepresentation of my financial history. I take my credit profile extremely seriously, and the presence of these unauthorized accounts is deeply concerning. I require immediate clarification as to why these accounts are appearing and who is responsible for reporting them.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
Several inaccurate and unverifiable items continue to appear on my credit file despite prior disputes. XXXX XXXX is reporting an account with a {$1200.00} balance showing six late payments between XXXX  and XXXX, yet it simultaneously reports as current, which is contradictory. XXXX is listed as closed at consumers request but continues to show four late payments, which is inconsistent and misleading. XXXX is reporting a charged-off account with a {$3000.00} balance written off in XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  but still marked as past due with inconsistent late payment history. 

Additionally, XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a {$430.00} collection from XXXX XXXX, but no assignment of debt or original contract has ever been provided. XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a {$870.00} collection allegedly from XXXX XXXX XXXX, but again no validation or original documentation has been produced. 

There are also numerous unauthorized inquiries listed on my file that were not approved and therefore lack permissible purpose under the FCRA. These include inquiries from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  among others , all dated between XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  and XX/XX/XXXX. 

These accounts, collections, and inquiries are inaccurate, unverifiable, and damaging, and must be corrected.
