Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My ontime payment went through an inactive checking account on XX/XX/2017 for my XXXX XXXX that I lease from XXXX XXXX XXXX  due to automatic XXXX XXXX app on my XXXX, after I received an email from XXXX XXXX   that the payment won't go through due to inactive account status I immediately called XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and I explain the situation, I've been told ( and they were recording this ) that there is NO need to do anything since on their end it was shown as paid! Nevertheless I offered to make a second payment on the same day using my new bank account from XXXX XXXX I've been told again from the representative that since I made the second payment I have nothing to worry about and that the second payment will cover the first payment in case that it will be returned as unpaid, I also been told that they won't reported as late payment and everything is ok. Two months after they reported my XX/XX/2017 payment as late payment which damaged severely my credit score, I blame XXXX XXXX XXXX  for incompetence for lack of knowledge and for misinformed a loyal customer that is 100 % on time with payments with all creditors and three times XXXX customer with no late payments at all. 
After sending letter to the company explaining the situation for their error I received a letter telling me that my correspondence does not provide sufficient justification to change the way that they reporting my payment history to the consumer reporting agencies and as a result of my dispute they will provide an update to credit reporting agencies reflecting the results of their investigation. I tried numerous times adfter that to speak to somebody in the credit reporting department at XXXX XXXX XXXX  and they denied it all times!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
OnXX/XX/XXXX, I submitted an electronic request to TransUnion for investigation into file number XXXX - an account which I have no knowledge of. I received a response that there was an error in the investigation and that if I received an error, I should submit a request for investigation in writing. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request in writing for review of this file. Instead of sending an investigation response to me, they responded with a copy of my credit report. 

I believe TransUnion is intentionally failing to investigate this account because they know it to be incorrect.

Company: PRESTIGE FINANCIAL SERVICES INC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Prestige Financial regarding my auto loan being very high at almost 20 %. I spoke with XXXX and asked about reducing my rate. XXXX told me I could make 3 on time payments or add auto pay to my account. She informed me the rate was reduced to 19.74 %. XXXX is very unprofessional, condescending and calls on the day the payment is due. There's absolutely no grace period. 

I was 30 days late with my car note once, back in XX/XX/XXXX. I feel this rate is predatory lending for veterans who've had financial hardships. I recently discovered through XXXX my vehicle has structural damage and it's worthless!!! The vehicle 's history was never disclosed to me at the time of purchase. I purchased my car for $ XXXX, by the end of my loan, I will have paid over $ 26K. 

I purchased my vehicle in XX/XX/XXXX, after filing bankruptcy. My bankruptcy attorney referred me to an auto program called 722 Redemption. They " offered Chapter XXXX debtors alternative to costly vehicle reaffirmations ''. Through the 722 Redemption program, I bought my car from the XXXX XXXX dealership in XXXX Ohio. 

Now I'm stuck with a worthless vehicle, an outrageous interest rate and $ XXXX in negative equity. Please help. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX, The Law Offices of Mitchell ran my credit, they also reported falsely that I owed money to a XXXX XXXX XXXX or another 3rd party. This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, they do not have factual information. There is nothing backing up their allegations besides unsubstantiated claims. I never applied for credit, I never guaranteed payment, I never signed anything and I never gave out my social security number, it must have been obtained from another source. This company " XXXX " has blatantly violated the FCRA requirements for reporting in an attempt to " Extort " money and tarnish my name. It is my understanding that in order to publish false claims in attempt to ruin someone's credit they must factual information, they do not.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have been a customer of Chase bank for a while. I used to have many credit cards from them including chase freedom, because the good experience with them, I even closed my XXXX XXXX XXXX debit card and opened chase debit card savings and checking account. 

I am working as a XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX, where I am serving the biggest client XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX has many travel partners, so in XX/XX/XXXX, I used my chase freedom account to buy XXXX usd XXXX gift cards for XXXX XXXX travel partners becasue the company credit card was not working. This is guided and approved by my president. But in XX/XX/XXXX, I  suddenly found out that Chase closed my chase freedom account without checking with me. Generally other banks will call me, and check with me on the purchase, Chase didn't check with me and closed my account directly. 

When I called them, they said becasue my purhcase is big, which is XXXX USD out of the XXXX USD credit line they issued me. Chase also said I have no credit history, if i don't have credit history, why chase would approve the credit for me before?? Although my company didn't reimburse me all the money in time, I was still paying the chase freedom way more than the minimum amount they required. I don't understand why they close my account and gave me the reasons that doesno't make sense. 

I talked to the other two chase staff about this issuse, they either said they can not talk about it. Or they tell me, i can reapply the credit card but they can not reopen for me. Becasue I just compared the XXXX plaitinum card with Chase sapphire reserve, so I feel chase sapphire reserve is a better option for my travel plans. So I applied for that card again. Which I used to have one, but my husband closed it. Chase declined my application, and said the reason is becasue I had the unsatisfactory performance with them, which means I can not apply for any of their other credit cards, and what they told me i can reapply is the lie. I totally not accept the treatment I gained, i know I am a XXXX and I have language barries, but I feel i receive the great unfair treatment from Chase. All the customer services i spoke with are rude, and they don't tell me the reasonable explanations of why they closed my acocunt without chekcing with me.

Company: Seterus, Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I received a notice of default from Seterus, Inc. To cure the default, I paid what I owed for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and made sure the payment was delivered on XX/XX/XXXX by COB. The notice of default said to pay w/a cashier 's check or money order ; I used a cashier 's check. It said to mail the payment and gave an address, which is the address I used. I sent the payment via USPS. I have a receipt showing that payment was delivered on XX/XX/XXXX. I have the tracking number for the payment as well as a screen shot of the USPS web page that says the payment was signed for on XX/XX/XXXX before COB. And yet, Seterus shows my payment as received on XX/XX/XXXX, which would mean Seterus thinks I did not cure my default. I called and talked to a Seterus employee who verified that payment was received and signed for on XX/XX/XXXX before COB. 

I need Seterus to correct the record immediately. I have not attached any documentation, as Seterus either has it already or has access to it.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My Equifax Credit File, dated XX/XX/XXXX, shows I have a previous address of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX Reported : XX/XX/XXXX. This is incorrect, I have never had that as my address. 

When I try to access my Equifax data online, part of their security challenge is to ask specific questions from my data file. The questions they ask are related to the mortgage and payments for the house in XXXX, TX. Since I have no knowledge about that property, I am unable to answer their questions and the Equifax site denies me access. 

I have asked Equifax to correct this error since I believe it is an attempt at data theft and someone else is using my credit report, but Equifax has not corrected my data even though I have requested their help at least four times.

Company: BMO BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have opened an account in XX/XX/XXXX acting on solicitation from the BMO Harris bank promising {$200.00} opening bonus. The account was opened in the XXXX XXXX, IL branch and when I was asked by the banker for my profession I declared to be self-employed and getting paid by assignments ( copy writing, translation ) etc. 
Subsequently I have received two direct deposits ( XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX with another one coming this week ) and when I again inquired at the branch I was told that the qualifications were met and the opening bonus will post in XX/XX/XXXX. Last week I called and I was told by BMO Harris employee that the bonus will not be paid since the direct deposit were not payroll or other govt benefits. 
Questions : 1 ) since I am self-employed and getting paid on assignment base why was the mailing directed at me since I wouldn't have qualified, according to BMO 's own opinion on the offer? 
2 ) why the employee at the branch have accepted the offer and reiterated its validity to my situation and why was I informed that the bonus will be paid in XX/XX/XXXX? 

It is apparent that despite meeting the monetary threshold of the direct deposit ( {$300.00} ) the bank doesn't want to honor its own offer suggesting that my deposit wouldn't qualify anyway. It is not only a circular logic argument but it is deceptive with intention to deceive.
