Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TekCollect Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a XXXX alert where someone added an address to my credit file that did not match any of the addresses where I stayed or have on file with XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX, Tek-Collect added a collection to my credit file that did not belong to me. XX/XX/XXXX I sent a letter to Tek-Collect requesting they send me any information validating this debt. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX sent me a document from XXXX XXXX XXXX. After carefully examining the document there was the address that was added to my  credit report and the person 's birthdate that did not match mine. I responded on XX/XX/XXXX informing XXXX XXXX that the debt was not mine, I never lived on XXXX. XXXX, that was not my doctor and certainly not my birthdate. I did inform him that on XX/XX/XXXX that someone added the XXXX XXXX address to my credit file. After waiting several weeks, I did not get a reply from Tek-Collect and the error remained on my credit file. XXXX and XXXX, after receiving my proof of address, utility bill and valid driver 's license with  birthdate, they promptly removed the collection from my credit file. However, this debt remained on XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I file a dispute with XXXX ( confirmation # XXXX ) disputing the address and the debt collection. They asked that I send them a valid driver 's license, copy of my social security card or XXXX form and Utility Bill in my name within 24 hours of my dispute, which I did. 
On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX said 'if they were able to make changes to my credit report based on the information I sent, they have done so. Otherwise, we, ( XXXX ) contacted the company reporting the information to XXXX for them to investigate your dispute. 
- We request that the reporting company verify the accuracy of the information you disputed ; - We provided them with any relevant information and supporting documentation you provided us with the dispute to consider as part of the investigation and - We request that they send XXXX a response to your dispute and update their records and systems ' As of XX/XX/XXXX, I  have not heard from Tek-Collect and XXXX sent all my personal information they requested Tek-Collect and the collection remains on my credit report. Now, I 've found out that my personal information through XXXX has been compromised. I want this debt collection removed from my credit report because it is not mine.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On or about XX/XX/XXXX I initiated a balance transfer of {$7200.00} from XXXX XXXX to Wells Fargo bank. Wells fargo did not give me access to the money until XX/XX/XXXXstateing they could not find it in their system because the account access number on my actual physical card was used instead of the main account number. I sent proof of the cashed check showing they cashed the check and had the money in their possession since XX/XX/XXXX. The account access number and the main account number both go back to the same account so they should have been able to locate and give me the money much sooner than they did. Since I had to take cash advances from other cards to compensate for the {$7200.00} they had tied up for approximately a month and a half I requested to be compensated on some level for the extra expense their time delay caused me. I requested to be compensated {$300.00} or waive the balance transfer fee of 4 % on 1 future balance transfer from one of my Wells Fargo credit cards. They said they wo n't do anything.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I was a victim of identity theft. In regards to my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I sent the Consumer Reporting agencies a copy of proof of identity, a copy of an identity theft report, the identification of such information, and a statement by me that the information is not information relating to any transaction by me. This was sent and received by all Consumer reporting agencies. XXXX has followed proper protocol by blocking the information from my report according to fcra 605B. However XXXX and Experian have not. I have proof of delivery of such items. In general a consumer reporting agency may decline to block or rescind a block of information if the agency has reasonably determined that the information was a error, there was a misrepresentation of fact, or the consumer obtained good or services as a result of the block however, they are required to send me promptly information pertaining to this and have not done so. I was under the impression they had 4 days to block the information from the report unless they notify me of the rescind or not blocking the information. I will be looking at what damages are being caused by not following the strict guidelines protecting consumers from identity theft if this is not resolved immediately. This account must be blocked.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This is a followup to Complaint # XXXX. Wells Fargo did give a response but wht they sent was the file copy of the note and deed of trust ( that I could have gotten from the County Recorders Office ) what i asked for was a COPY of the ORIGINAL note SHOWING ALL ASSIGNMENTS, or ALLOGNE. WF has refused to do that, even though this loan went from XXXX XXXX-Wachovia-Wells Fargo. Somewhere in between it XXXX have been assigned to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and not returned properly to XXXX XXXX before it was transferred to Wachovia. WF wants to hide this and has refused to provide the Copy of the Original Note in it 's current condition. Their response is " this is proprietary information and they will not provide it ''. 
Additionally, WF approved a loan modification, it was executed, we made the first 6 or so payments. The loan modification on the First was aslo approved, however WF made a mistake on the terms, and promised to make a correction, but they were not satisfied with the terms they approved on the HELOC and wanted to find an excuse to end it, WF then instructed XXXX, the new Servicer on the First ( which they also supposedly owned ) to deny the loan modification. Once that was done they then cancelled the loan modification on the HELOC because the first did not approve their loan modification, ( both loans are owned by WF ). California Office of Business Oversight confirmed this by using the journal of the lender but they have NO oversight over Wells Fargo. and suggested that I ask CFPB to assist in getting WF to do what they promised.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Hillcrest Davidson & Associates
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I was contacted by Hillcrest-Davidson about a prior accountant that I had with XXXX XXXX XXXX. The previous contracted had been fulfilled and I was no longer paying XXXX. I was never sent any communications from XXXX about any kind of auto renewal, which the representative at Hillcrest repeatedly keep referring to as she was talking over me and never letting me get a word in to explain. I was contacted again by a second rep after advising the previous to never call me again that the debt was fulfilled and paid. The second rep began to badger me from the very beginning of the conversation. They called me on a phone number that was never given to XXXX as a contact number. It was a mobile phone that I use strictly for business. When asked how they got the number I was told that " it does n't matter how we find you. You need to learn to pay your bills ''. At this point I was extremely upset to be disrespected and badgered. I gave the representative a very good piece of mind and immediately hung up. I believe these tactics are not condoned by the FCRA. I request that you have this company delete their presence from my credit bureau and correct my reporting and score. My credit was very great until these predators came along. I was also never given any written verification of the contract with the auto renewal or any correspondence from either company. I was called out of the blue. I still have not received any written verification of any debt owed.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for a new XXXX XXXX XXXX at the recommendation of the person in the bank branch. They told me about the great bonus rewards being offered if I spent at least {$7500.00} on the card in the first three months. Ive banked at Citi for many years and the branch is very familiar with me so I assumed they were telling me the truth. He told me the bonus more than offset the high annual fee. I signed up and spent the money on the card. When the bonus didnt show up in my account I called and was told I wasnt eligible because another card I had opened five years prior earned the same type of points, even though the card was discontinued and I dont have it anymore. So even though I paid the annual fee and spent the money on the card they wont give me the XXXX Citi points.

Dispute Letter Mailed to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX : Dispute Statement - The payment reporting for this account is completely inaccurate. My credit file currently reflects that I missed payments or made a payment greater than 30 days late to GM Financial for all of the following months : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I did make payments on time and in full on all of those months, I did not make the payments past 30 days from the due date. Please update/correct this information on my credit file as soon as possible to reflect accurate payments made on time for all of those months. I have disputed the inaccuracy of this account reporting for those months multiple times with all three credit bureaus and its causing a significant affliction on my overall credit status and financial options, causing hardship on education plans for my son and other life needs. 

Supporting Documentation Provided to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX by Mail : Enclosed a copy of my Checking Account Transaction History Report, which verifies that I did make the monthly payments for all of those months and payments were made in the amounts of {$380.00} or above, which is higher than the minimum monthly payment required and also paid within 30 days from the monthly bill due date.
