Complaint narrative:

Additionally, I believe that XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX account has been charged off unfairly, and this violates the FCRA and TILA. I have not received any notice or explanation regarding the charge-off, nor have I been provided with the required disclosures under TILA. 

Finally, I believe that XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX has been reported inaccurately as a collection account, which violates the FCRA and RESPA.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from Wells Fargo that lender-placed insurance on my home was renewed. The cost of their insurance is almost {$1700.00} a year, which would be in addition to the homeowner insurance I have on my home with XXXX ( which is less than {$1000.00} ). Their email notes that Wells Fargo adds the cost of their insurance to our mortgage payment. I am our home 's title owner and have third-party authorization for the mortgage, which I have paid since XXXX. 

I had submitted the required Proof of Insurance to Wells Fargo 's online service at mycoveredinfo.com and the return email stated that they were unable to proceed and that I would need to resubmit the documentation. The contact phone number on their website turned out to be an automated line for making payments or checking status, with no option to speak to a person. 

Today I contacted my insurance provider, XXXX, who assured me that my home has been insured through them continuously since XXXX of XXXX. I don't want to pay this additional amount on our mortgage for expensive, lesser insurance since my home is already fully covered under the policy I chose. The XXXX representative reached out to Wells Fargo while I was on the phone, asking what format they would like to see the documentation in and to clarify the XXXX address, in case they got it wrong. The Wells Fargo representative acknowledged that our home is covered, yet would not speak to the public as it was not a customer line. It is still unclear what the problem is.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Wisconsin XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX SS # : XXXX Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing this letter to dispute several items on my credit report, which I believe were reported in violation of various consumer protection laws, including FCRA, FDCPA, FACTACT, TILA, RESPA, ECOA, and FCBA. 

The following accounts and details are reported on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - late payment account XXXX - collection account MEDICAL XXXX - collection account XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX - charge off account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - charge off account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - charge off account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - charge off account XXXX - collection account XXXX - collection account I am disputing these items on my credit report because I believe they were reported in violation of several consumer protection laws. The creditors have failed to provide me with the proper notices required by the law, failed to investigate my disputes, and failed to report accurate information. 

For instance, the late payment account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was an error on their part. I have made all payments on time, and the late payment should not have been reported. 

Additionally, the collection accounts for XXXX  XXXX and XXXX were reported without proper validation of the debt. I have requested validation of these debts, but have not received any response from the creditors. 

Furthermore, the charge off accounts reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX were reported inaccurately. The debts were paid in full, but the creditors failed to update the information on my credit report. 

In conclusion, I request that these items be removed from my credit report immediately, and that the creditors comply with all relevant consumer protection laws. Please provide me with a written response regarding the investigation of these disputes. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I made an uninformed decision on XX/XX/2021 when I entered into this consumer credit transaction pursuant to 15 USC 1601 ( a ). I did not understand the agreement because it was not clear and conspicuous. The informed use of credit results from an awareness of the cost thereof by consumers, an awareness I do not have.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1601 ( g ) ( 2 ), The term creditor is the person to whom the debt arising from the consumer credit transaction is initially payable on the face of evidence of indebtness or, if there is no such evidence of indebtness, by agreement. Due to the fact that the agreement is not clear and conspicuous, that makes it null and void. The only evidence of a debt was the agreement, but that agreement is null and void because I made an informed decision. I did not understand the agreement because it was not clear and conspicuous. 

Pursuant to 15 USC 1601 ( k ) the consumer must receive adequate notice. Adequate notice means a printed notice to a cardholder which sets forth pertinent facts clearly and conspicuously so that a person against whom it is to operate could reasonably be expected to notice it and understood it's meaning.
