Consumer complaint received 2025-04-08 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I borrowed money with Wells Fargo to pay for an XXXX XXXX  ( they offer financing through Wells Fargo ). Under the terms, If I dont make a monthly payment by the due date then I lose the promotional interest rate and the interest is accelerated. 
They dont take autopay over the phone ( even though every other credit card does ). 
I refuse to mail it because I dont trust them ( lets face it they are Wells Fargo ).

I went into a branch and set autopay up with the branch President. He verified that it was set up. 
I then got a letter in the mail saying autopay was set up. 
Two days before the due date they mailed me a letter saying they are unable to set up payments knowing I wouldnt receive the letter until after the payment was due. 

They are making it difficult to make my monthly payments so they can accelerate interest!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Experian for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, XXXX consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, XXXX 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure XXXX complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
My account with EXPERIAN was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make pa
yments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

EXPERIAN Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Complaint narrative:
Late Payment ( 3 Bureaus ) XXXX - Account Number : XXXX - Balance & Past Due : {$0.00} My credit report contains late payment remarks that I firmly believe are inaccurate and misleading. These false records are unfairly lowering my credit score and creating unnecessary financial roadblocks. I have always upheld my financial responsibilities, yet these errors persist. 

Under the FCRA, all reported information must be accurate and verifiable. If these remarks can not be substantiated with original, signed documentation, they must be removed at once. I expect immediate corrective actionany further delay will be considered deliberate noncompliance.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I had created PayPal account by XXXX. The automated system placed a temporary restriction the moment the signup process was successfully completed and validated. 

I tried multiple times to confirm the identity of my PayPal account but the system was not able to verify my identity using the information that I had submitted. 

The system had requested identity verification documentation ( s ) to forward it for a manual review. I called in the customer support ask their hand on this matter, one of the agent provided me with a secure doc upload link to upload all of the requested document ( s ). 

I was requested to submit a copy of Photo ID, & a copy of social security card. Please note that these requested documents are now already available and retained in the system. 

Please know, that the provided Photo ID has the exact same information, the First Name, Middle Name & Last Name on my PayPal account exactly matches in the provided ID. The document ID number is also clearly visible, all four-corners are legible and all of the information is easily accessible to be manually validated. 

Having said that, I am in a deep disappointment to see that my newly created PayPal account has been limited permanently, with no possible risk reasoning to be seen. 

The purpose of writing this complaint is because I have tried my maximum limits to explain this issue to one of your agent ( s ), but no one was able to get a resolution for me. 

I will really appreciate, if my submitted document ( s ) including Photo ID and Social Security Card is manually reviewed and validated with cross-referencing the information on my PayPal account & assist me in regaining full access & account features. 

For easy reference, I have also attached the required documentation with this complaint thread. I request to download the attached PDF ( s ) in your systems to view the full information. 

I am awaiting a positive response!

Capital One closed my card, applied interest charges to a fraudulent charges, then later charged off my account. I had this account in perfect pay history for over 10 years. This has resulted in a significant drop in my credit score causing a hardship to the point that I am ready to pursue legal action against them. PLEASE ASSIST CAPITAL ONE CAN NOT BE ALLOWED TO KEEP FRAUDULENT CHARGES ON ACCOUNT AFTER THEY DISCOVERED IT AND REQUIRE ME TO PAY THESE CHARGES. Furthermore capital one allowed these people to PUSH this amount onto my card which was doubled of what my original credit limit was.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information appearing on my credit report and to demand a proper reinvestigation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. Despite my previous requests, you have failed to provide verifiable proof of the alleged accuracy of the disputed account ( s ), thereby violating your obligations under FCRA 611 ( a ) and 623 ( b ). Furthermore, your continued failure to properly investigate and correct these inaccuracies constitutes a breach of FCRA 617, which imposes liability for noncompliance.

Legal Precedents and Monetary Liabilities for Noncompliance Your failure to properly investigate and correct inaccurate reporting is not only a violation of federal law but has also resulted in substantial legal liability for credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) and data furnishers in numerous cases. Below are examples of cases where courts have held CRAs and data furnishers liable for FCRA violations, resulting in significant monetary damages : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) The XXXX Supreme Court upheld a class-action lawsuit against XXXX for improperly labeling consumers as potential terrorists or drug traffickers without proper verification. The company was ordered to pay over {$60.00} XXXX in damages. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX was found liable for failing to properly investigate and correct inaccurate information on a consumers credit report, leading to statutory and punitive damages. 
XXXX. XXXX v. Equifax XXXX. XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX Fed XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) Equifax was held liable for failing to reinvestigate disputed accounts, resulting in an adverse impact on the consumers credit profile. The company settled for millions in damages. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX ) XXXX was found to have negligently handled consumer disputes and was ordered to pay damages for emotional distress and reputational harm. 
XXXX. CFPB XXXX XXXX against XXXX ( XXXX ) The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) fined XXXX {$3.00} XXXX for failing to correct inaccurate reporting and misleading consumers about dispute resolution rights. 
These cases illustrate that CRAs and data furnishers who fail to adhere to FCRA regulations can and will be held accountable through legal action and financial penalties. Your refusal to provide verifiable proof of the accuracy of the reported account ( XXXX ) places you in direct violation of your statutory obligations and exposes you to potential legal consequences. Pursuant to FCRA XXXX ( a ), I demand that you immediately conduct a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of the following account ( XXXX ) : CITICARDS XXXX XXXX

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I operate a business PayPal account under XXXX. On or aroundXX/XX/2025, PayPal began holding {$30000.00} of our business funds without explanation. 

We have not violated any policies, received any chargebacks, or triggered any risk flags that were disclosed to us. I contacted PayPal support multiple times via phone and chat to request an explanation and release timeline. Each time, I was told the matter was under review or escalated, but no concrete information was given. 

These funds are vital for our business operations, including fulfilling customer orders and managing advertising campaigns. The hold has significantly harmed our ability to operate and has caused financial disruption. We have done everything possible to resolve this with PayPal directly, but they have refused to release the funds or provide meaningful support. 

I have also filed a complaint with the California Attorney Generals Office due to the lack of response and disruption this has caused.

Complaint narrative:
I sent a letter to the credit bureau. Three independent agencies : Transunion, Experian and Equifax on XX/XX/year>. I have not received the investigation results and it's been over 30 days. Transunion sent me a letter dated XX/XX/year> saying they applaud my efforts to take charge of my credit but that the letter was not sent by. The letter was sent by me and I also sent them copies of the required identity verification documents. Experian sent me a response dated XX/XX/year> saying they received a recent request that does not appear to be sent by me. It was also me. I strongly believe these two companies do not investigate and send a generic letter to protect themselves as proof they replied. However their response is vague.

Equifax has not sent me anything.
