Consumer complaint received 2025-04-01 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this complaint about my diligently accrued credit card rewards that were improperly withheld and subsequently taken from me. I had a Wells Fargo Active Cash credit card for about XXXX years. I always made my payments on time and the card was in good standing. 

One day, Wells Fargo decided to end their business relationship with me and at the time of my account closure, XXXX, my account was still in good standing and I did not owe any money to Wells Fargo XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, I logged into my mobile banking and I noticed that my credit card rewards balance was all of a sudden showing {$0.00}. This was before my account closure date and at the time I had accrued around {$580.00} in rewards. 

I click into the rewards account statements and it showed that all of my credit card rewards were put on hold. I could not withdraw it and I could not even see the rewards information on my dashboard unless I clicked into the specifics. When I contacted Wells Fargo about this, they put me in an endless loop of telephone transfers with no direct answers. Bouncing me from the credit card department to the rewards department then from the rewards department back to the credit card department, etc. 

Eventually, I got fed up with this and on XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX PM, I went in person to the Wells Fargo XXXX XXXX  located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to submit a formal complaint. XXXX was the banker who helped me file the complaint in person and I would like to compliment him on his assistance. The Wells Fargo case number is XXXX and the ID is XXXX. 

Originally, my case was assigned to an agent named XXXX ( ext. XXXX ) then it was later transferred to an agent named XXXX XXXX ext. XXXX ). XXXX called me a few days later and essentially told me the door has been closed on this issue. I persisted and she made a new case number : XXXX for this. 

As of now, the case is still unresolved.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I noticed that an account, which was previously removed, has been added back to my report. This action is a violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and I demand that the accounts below be deleted immediately. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) ( 1 ) ( B ), commonly referred to as the Reinsertion Law, it is unlawful for a credit reporting agency to reinsert previously deleted information without first notifying the consumer. The law specifically states that if a credit report entry is deleted because it was found to be inaccurate or incomplete, it can not be reinserted without proper notification.Also, recently, the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ) unlawfully shared my sensitive personal and financial information without my express written consent. This disclosure constitutes a violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) ( 20 U.S.C. 1232g ), which strictly prohibits the disclosure of a students personally identifiable information ( PII ) without the student 's explicit consent. FERPA provides strong privacy protections for students, ensuring that any personally identifiable information related to a students education record may not be disclosed to third parties without the students written consent. I did not authorize the release of my personal information to DOGE, nor did I provide written consent to any credit reporting agency to include this information on my credit report.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite having sent several letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by identitytheft.gov as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ).

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under identitytheft.gov clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through identitytheft.gov, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid.

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I discovered an unauthorized and inaccurate collection account on my credit report from TransUnion Consumer Solutions associated with CREDIT COLL, account number XXXX. This account does not belong to me, and I have no knowledge of its origin. I formally disputed this account with the credit bureau, requesting verification and removal based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), as well as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically Sections 809 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) and 807 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ).

Despite my formal dispute and request for a thorough investigation, TransUnion Consumer Solutions has continued to report this account without verifying its accuracy or providing me with documentation supporting its validity. This violates my rights under the FCRA, as credit bureaus are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and must not report inaccurate or unverifiable information. Notably, failure to comply with these requirements has been underscored by precedents such as XXXX XXXX XXXX Mortgage XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank, NA. 
This inaccurate information is damaging my credit score and affecting my financial standing. I believe that the credit bureaus failure to properly investigate and respond to my dispute is a direct violation of the FCRA, causing me unnecessary harm.

Complaint narrative:
So I have been trying to dispute a transaction I've had with XXXX because I have returned an item from them. I've explained everything that happened with me and XXXX, but Bank of America refuses to look into my claim because the time limit has been past due. I've explained in the document of why it took me so long to finally file a dispute, in which they eventually reopened the dispute again. I was hoping with the reopening that they will actually look into the dispute thoroughly. But later they have decided to not look into it because of the same issue again, which I have just explained why in the document. So i feel like they did not even care to investigate or read the document fully before giving me a final decision and now I want to file a complaint in hopes of getting my money back because the money is over {$500.00}.

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo refused to accept a Certificate of Trust related to the XXXX XXXX XXXX, even though the form was provided by their institution and properly executed by me, the trustor. The only distinction was the inclusion of a non-transferable stamp as a protective measure. 

This does not alter or invalidate the content of the document under any applicable law or policy. The refusal appears arbitrary and constitutes interference with my right to administer my trust.

I requested written explanation or supporting policy, but was denied. Im requesting the CFPB intervene and direct Wells Fargo to accept the executed document or provide legal basis for refusal.
