Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Made a payment on this business card to free up credit for the purpose of paying my contractor developer bills over the holiday. Paid XX/XX/XXXX. I called WF to verify the money would be available after making the payment and was told if I made the payment the money/credit would be available the same day. It is now January 4th 17 days later and my payment still has not posted to free up the available balance. My contractors went without a pay check over the holiday and no matter how many times I called to figure out what the problem was nothing was done about it. I was told they can freeze payment for any reason they want and I just had to wait until the 17 days which fell on XX/XX/XXXX. I was also told that the holidays did not count against that waiting time however today I was now told XX/XX/XXXX, that those holidays did count against it which may move the date even further. This payment came from my other business checking account at XXXX XXXX and that money was taken out on the next day I made the payment and not available to me from that source either. Wells Fargo has no reason to hold this payment. I have been doing business with them for over 30 years and never had an issue at all. I have paid off multiple card balances over the years without any infraction of any kind.

Company: ROBINHOOD MARKETS INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
In addition to my previous case XXXX that was closed, Id like to open a case with new information as explained below : Robinhood has complicated this dispute case over the past four months by opening new case numbers and repeatedly asking for the same documentation I have already submitted. I can assure you that in regards to our phone conversations, Robinhood has ended the call twice after asking me to wait as your team reviews my account. I can also assure you that I have provided the proper bank statement and identity documentations ( Drivers ID, SSN, Passport, live selfie ) many times and received notification through your secure links that all documents were successfully submitted. I can confidently say that with proof, Robinhood has failed to properly investigate my dispute case. I ask that this dispute case for fraud is to be reopened and handled by an upper level case manager, in person, so that we can have this matter resolved. I am able to drive to your office in DC to work with Robinhood and provide all of the necessary documents that you may need. I understand that Robinhood may follow a strict procedure for dispute cases but the way my case has been handled is unacceptable. I look forward to your response as I hope to settle this matter ASAP.

XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U. S. C. 1681c-2 ) that you, The TranUnion reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. This fraudulent, inaccurate, and false information consists of personal credit card account opened at XXXX XXXX card on XX/XX/XXXX, and under account number XXXX, XXXX XXXX card account number XXXX opened XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX opened XX/XX/XXXX.

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, charge offs, are a result of identity theft and fraud.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
I had a coupon and used it to make purchase on date of expiration. I have an email from Macys on that date, thanking me for the order. Macys did not process order until 2 days later and claimed the coupon was expired, even though it was valid on the date I used it. Instead, they charged it to my credit card account without my authorization. I disputed it and after dozens of phone calls, multiple transfers, and explaining over and over again, they reversed the charge in my favor. I directed them to close the account. When I reviewed my credit report, they the account -- for the unauthorized charged that was disputed- as 30 days late and that the account was closed at their request. I filed an XXXX with all XXXX bureaus previously but it still appears on my report and is not even marked disputed.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I made my monthly student loan payment to MOHELA in the amount of {$390.00}. At that time, I did not know there was a federal court injunction regarding the SAVE plan and that payments were to cease until the court made a decision. That injunction happened before I made the payment. I called MOHELA on XX/XX/XXXX to request a refund and was told this is a valid request and it'll take 90 business days to process. On XX/XX/XXXX, we reached 90 business days, and I still did not have my payment refunded to my checking account. I've tried calling MOHELA 7 times since then. I was finally able to speak with a person on XX/XX/XXXX to have this issue escalated by an advanced representative. I was told that she entered the escalation request and it would take 10 business days to receive my refund to my checking account. As of XX/XX/XXXX, 10 business days later, I still do not have my refund. My refund needs to be processed to my checking account immediately. I have no intentions of making another payment until this situation is rectified. I am reaching out to studentaid.gov, www.ed.gov, XXXX, and the FTC today to file additional complaints.
