Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
For over a year I have been reaching out to all 3 credit bureaus to remove items on my credit report that were a cause of fraud. I have requested validation and verification in the form of originally signed contracts etc. Each company has failed to help me and instead placed a lock on my credit profile but refuses to investigate the items in question or remove them from my credit report despite providing them with paperwork supporting my claim that my information was stolen and used without my permission. I am formally requesting these items be removed so that i can finally move on with my life.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax, as required by law, offers a method to obtain free credit reports from the 3 major credit reporting agencies. It offers an online method through XXXX. However, just as I did when I tried a few years ago, when I selected free credit reports from all three agencies, after I completed the steps for the Equifax report and received it, I clicked on the tab to move on to the next report ( the XXXX report ). The next screen gave me the option to exit the site or cancel. It did not take me on to the XXXX report. 

This is what the agencies do. They put up obstacles to getting free credit reports in the form of glitsches in the online process. The website does n't work and the consumer is left to use a slower and more cumbersome process, such as ordering by mail, or paying for the reports. 

This is a SCAM that the credit reporting agencies have been running for years. It happens every time I try to be my free credit reports.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I recently settled the amount that Bank of America accumulated over a late fee charge, interests over several months and annual fee for a credit card that was linked to my checking account that I closed ( to use for online payment and billing statement access ). In XX/XX/XXXX, my last online payment was {$380.00}, paid in full as I closed my checking account, I had no access to the online statement and closed this credit card. Apparently in XX/XX/XXXX, balance was {$29.00} including {$1.00} fees charged. I did not receive any notification of my balance owed. In XX/XX/XXXX, fees were charged, balance became {$31.00}. The fee charges continued for several months without my knowledge. No phone call or mail to notify me that I still owe them on this credit card. During this time, there were no activities or purchases on the credit card. The XX/XX/XXXX statement showed an annual fee of {$50.00}. By XX/XX/XXXX, the total amount, balance was {$90.00}. They indicated 'charge-off adjustment '. I did not learn about these charges and amount owed until XX/XX/XXXX when a serious delinquency was reported to the credit bureaus and this caused derogatory information in my credit score. I contacted the creditor in XX/XX/XXXX to work on a settlement. I asked for hard copies of the billing statements because I had forgotten about this account from XX/XX/XXXX. 

I called and asked one of the Supervisors to waive the fees charged over the months as they failed to notify me, I did not have access to the billing statements online. There was no way for me to know I owed them any balance since I closed the account. The creditor refused my offer and demanded that I pay the full balance. 

As I was applying for credit on a big purchase this year, this came back to haunt me. The serious delinquency report lowered my credit score. I called, lost the battle and paid the balance of {$90.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. The representative assured me that I will get a letter in 10 business days to confirm that this has been settled and that derogatory item will be removed from my credit history. Three weeks had passed and I have not received the letter. I disputed with the Credit Bureaus but uncertain on what actions have been taken on their investigation.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Chase is in partnership with an unethical airline : XXXX XXXX. I plan on canceling my Chase card as a result of XXXX 's new " basic economy '' pricing tier. 

Here is my story : Bought a " basic economy '' ticket online using my Chase card. 

Later found out that there is no way to upgrade to a plus ticket online - which I need due to my tall height and long legs. 

Called XXXX contact center. Was told they can not quote me a price to upgrade to plus for specific seats. Require that I roll the dice and upgrade from " basic economy '' to " economy '' ( for {$50.00} ) even though I am a XXXX Chase cardholder ; only then can I see what seats are available online and at what price ... 

This is an unfair, deceptive, and dishonest business practice. Passengers should be able to get a price quote on upgrades without having to pay a {$50.00} fee for the privilege to receive that price quote. At a minimum, XXXX Chase cardholders should be provided this added benefit.. 

I will be canceling my XXXX Chase card and sharing my experience online

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
PNC Bank changed the terms of my personal checking account. This notice was provided only via statement message on an account that is considered a virtual account and does not receive paper statements. Most activity, including reconciliations, on these types of accounts are performed in-app, and thus I did not receive proper notice, such as an App Notification or even a note to say, " Hey, by the way, there are new terms on the most recent statement. '' When I called to inquire about this service charge, I was told that PNC had done away with one of the ways they provided to avoid this charge. That particular method was to avoid visiting any of the branch tellers. All transactions had to be performed through the app, online banking website, or ATM machines, which I had done for many years. Unhappy with the outcome, I requested to close the account. I was informed that PNC could not close my account until my Life Insurance automatic withdraw was switched to another account. So, lacking any other options, I finished our conversation and proceeded to change the life insurance payment account. 

By the time the Life Insurance was switched, and I called PNC Bank to close the account for the second time, I was assessed another monthly fee which overdrew my account. This time PNC refuses to close the account because the account had been overdrawn by their $ XXXX monthly fee. I refuse to pay the fee on the grounds that I had previously requested to close the account because of it. 

At this point in time, PNC still refuses to close my account and is continuing to charge my account {$7.00} per day for being overdrawn. Fees assessed since my request to close the account currently total {$100.00}, as of X/XX/2017.

Company: We Collect Inc
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
The debt collector has been harassing me with multiple phone calls. Even went the extreme to start calling me on a 2nd phone number. I was interrupted at my work place over and over again. 

The most recent form of harassment was at my personal residence. A person ( not authorized ) or allowed in my secure resident building got into the building with out being buzzed in by me ( personally ) I am the only one that can buzz a person into my building with my cell phone. Apparently a person came to my condo door during the work day and knocked on my condo 's front door. The person tried to had off papers to a friend and that person said I will not accept any paperwork for my friend. Later, I found paperwork on my doorstep. The paperwork was not in an envelope. The person left small claims paperwork on my doorstep, open for any resident to read. This is an invasion of my privacy and I did not authorize a person ( s ) from Atlas to enter my building residence at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX OR. XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) I will say again my building is secure ( no doorman ) but we have locks on all doors including the garage doors and entrance through the garage into the lobby. No one is to tress pass or enter the building with out the resident letting a person ( s ) into this building. 

I believe the paperwork left at my door step is a form of harassment friend and to myself and I would like to file an official complaint against Atlas Financial Services.

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Recently checked my credit report and noticed that Santander is reporting I have balance owed to them, they have never sent information regarding the sale of the vehicle, they have never called or mailed any correspondence requesting payment. In addition to the negative item they have attached to the credit file, they have also sent it to collections in which I have n't received any correspondence from either. Car repossession laws in Illinois require your lender to provide you with a redemption notice within 21 days after your car is repossessed. If the lender fails to provide the notices or provides legally insufficient notice, the repossession may be invalid. Because Santander failed to notify me within the time frame by mail or phone they have breached the contract. In addition they have added a {$16.00} payment X/XX/2016 which is completely false. I have not made any payments to Santander or any other collection agencies with regard to this account. The fact that Santander had added incorrect information on my report and has not contacted me speaks to their business practices.
