Complaint narrative:
Since XXXX XXXX XXXX I reached out to companies that reported negative marks on my credit report for verification and true accuracy through various letters. These companies have issued responses that include everything but accurate verification, such as billing statements. I have since reached out once again and to each credit bureau : Experian, XXXX, and XXXX, through certified mail enlisting my concerns for derogatory accounts that report on my credit. The bureaus have deleted some accounts, but overall neglected majority of my investigations by stating the " accuracy '' of these accounts with no proof from the companies or allowing these accounts to repost. 

( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX for {$4100.00}, reported as charge off by original creditor, sold to another company from original creditor, disputed by myself after being contacted by 3rd party creditor, now reported as charge off by original creditor again. 

( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX {$880.00}, deleted by XXXX. Reported by Experian and XXXX under different account numbers and different company. Experian responded that the bureau does not acknowledge accuracy from a fellow bureau as a reason for not deleting this account. 

( XXXX ) Different accounts all from XXXX XXXX XXXX were disputed by me and then sold to Midstate company after asking or verification. All accounts have same account numbers, but range in amounts owed. I created an investigation with each of the bureaus, XXXX deleted all accounts. Experian and XXXX deleted some of the accounts and refuse to provide information or proof of accuracy for why the remaining accounts continue to report. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX as accurate for the last 3 months from XXXX and XXXX, but Experian reports as delinquent for 60 days still. I have reached out to both XXXX and Experian ( XXXX ). XXXX states that they have no control for removing " late payments '' and Experian has not responded.

Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Re : Account XXXX Vehicle : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX from Hyundai Finance XXXX The amount financed was XXXX at 5.75 % APR, to be paid in 60 months starting on XX/XX/XXXX. Payments were in the amount of {$380.00} a month. To be clear, this was NOT a lease! On XX/XX/XXXX, the car was involved in an accident, which was a total loss. Our insurance determined not at fault and began the process of paying off Hyundai Finance. I made the XX/XX/XXXX, payment and the XX/XX/XXXX, payment waiting for the process to conclude. In XXXX, my insurance received a payoff amount of {$20000.00}. This amount was given before Hyundai Finance received our XX/XX/XXXX payment. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Hyundai finance informing us that they have not received payment from our insurance for the total loss in the amount of {$19000.00}. My insurance XXXX  a check for {$20000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, which was the amount originally quoted and didnt not include the payments I had made. Shortly after the title was released by Hyundai Finance to XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, IN. To my surprise, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email letter from Hyundai Finance informing me that there was a remaining balance due of {$1900.00} and that the payoff amount was {$21000.00} and all they received was {$20000.00}. I called immediately to get information as to why I owed anything and for Hyundai Finance to explain the situation. How can this be possible when I only financed XXXX and on top of that I made two payments? Why did you release the title if there was a balance? Hyundai Finance does not have a logical explanation as to where this amount came from. In the meantime, Im told that Im now on collections and that this will be reflected on my credit report. I have called countless times, too many to remember, and every time no one knows where this balance came from, or Im told something different, and you escalate the situation to a manager who is supposed to call me in 2 or 3 days. The manager never calls, and when I call again, you have no record of the escalation, or my concerns, and the process starts over again. Im getting the run around and no answers. Im getting no resolution.

Complaint narrative:
THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE COMPLANT. I'm not using any third party for this matter and represent myself by myself. I'm sending this complaint because Equifax has refused to remove unauthorized hard inquiries from my report that been placed on my report by FRAUD. They removed 4 hard inquiries out of 8 ( eight ) that I disputed. I mailed letter to them as well with a copy of FTC report and all supportive documents. I DID NOT initiate these inquires or give any form of consent electronically, in person, or over the phone. I am fully aware that without permissible purpose no entity is allowed to pull my credit unless otherwise noted in section 604 of the FTCRA. The hard inquiries that are being disputed, do not belong to me. My position is being clearly stated, these hard inquiries do not belong to me, meaning that you are reporting inaccurate information within my credit file. YOU are reporting the INQUIRIES that are the result of the fraudulent activities. Therefore, these inquiry must be deleted from within my credit file. Inquiries that are made by someone else without my authorization is not a factual record of access to my credit file, it is a factual record of fraudulent activity, and it must be addressed as such. The reason that this Inquiry is being disputed is because it waw not made by me, and when I report this to you, it is your responsibility to investigate my claims, and when you can not prove that this inquiry was made by me, they must be removed from my credit file. I have filed FTC report for this matter. Here are the list of these fraud items : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ; XXXX Inquiry : XXXX XXXX, XXXX ; XXXX Inquiry : XXXX XXXX, XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry : XXXX XXXX, XXXX remove these items from my report as soon as possible, I have included the copy of my SSN, driver license, proof of address and copy of FTC report.

Complaint narrative:
We received a letter in the mail stating that I was entitled to an overpayment refund of {$50.00} that was mine to claim from my past PC Richard credit card. I had to fill out and sign a letter and return it. If I did not it stated that it would become part of unclaimed monies. We sent in the letter immediatly. I never heard back. Never got a check. It has to be at least two months. Where is the check? 

I had a PC Richard card that was closed. We have two other active cards now. This obviously had to do with the other card that was closed. Apparently I am due a refund for an overpayment or credit and I am not receiving that even though I was sent that letter. I want this researched and someone to contact me from that bank so I can find out what is going on with this.
