Complaint narrative:
The account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX should not be reporting on my credit report. I reached out to the original creditor via XXXX and was informed that XXXX tried to contact the company twice, but the company failed to respond. Why would I trust a 3rd party collection agency whom I've never signed anything without validation from the original creditor? My personal information has been compromised many times, and without validation from the original creditor, how can you be sure that this debt is mine? Was there proof of my ssc and id on record? There were no copies sent to me if so. I have attached the proof of no response from original creditor. The invoice is attached for your company 's violation, and payment is to be remitted to the address on the true bill/invoice along with the deletion of this account. The original account was never verified ; and this account can not continue to report on my credit.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My ex husband got into trouble with Wells Fargo Bank by maxing out HIS credit card ( not mine ). Because our checking and savings were opened 30 years ago - I explained it was simply an oversight to not remove his name from those two accounts after we divorced 9 years ago. We are NOT bankers - we would have needed to be ADVISED to make such a change. Wells Fargo literally emptied both MY accounts without warning causing my account to go negative {$830.00} and causing constant overdraft fees. Shocked - I just wanted the bleeding to stop so I took him with me to explain were divorced and to ask them to remove his name. Wells Fargo COULD have acknowledged the fact that I have nothing to do with my ex- but instead - proceeded to treat ME as if I am responsible for HIS debts. Most of my money comes in from social security. I asked them to at least put THAT money back because CLEARLY its not his and neither are my XXXX and XXXX Wages. Wells Fargo said because I moved my social security from the savings to the checking account to pay my mortgage- it was okay for them to take it. It has been two weeks now. They hate to hear me call their legal department. They refuse to put this matter before a CEO who can make the call to return my funds. Theyve refuse to even remove the negative balance and close the account. Its like a greedy corporation who does NOT care about stopping the bleeding they caused - all they want is more fees and more money by keeping my checking account open to continue the bleeding. Its a joke to them - meanwhile I got left broke by a company continuing to build new branches from scratch - THAT is how rich they are.

Complaint narrative:
My account with TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and 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 reported in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) to be removed.

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 payments 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.

TRANSUNION 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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out regarding my Aspire Credit card issued by the XXXX XXXX XXXX. Back at the end of XXXX my card was lost and I contacted Aspire customer service to report that my card was missing, to my surprise I realized that my card was not actually lost that it had been stolen because I had multiple fraudulent transactions, which they happily assisted me with. I received the provisional credit and subsequently received a letter asking me for additional to which I supplied the information requested by the bank. Its been exactly 89 days and my card was lost walking into the mall, I assume as I do not really know the details exactly how the card was lost other than I know my card was missing along with the inner part of my wallet and my id. Not only did they reverse the I ended up having to get a new ID as well. I notified the bank and everything seemed to be ok. I logged into my account this morning to see that my previously resolved case that was credited to my account for the fraud had been reversed and was told even previously told that it was found in my favor. I spoke with Customer Service and they told me and read me the notes from the investigation team that stated because I have another recent claim within 2 months, which it was not, they denied the first claim as well and Reversed it because they claim it could not be fraud. This is absolutely ridiculous. I asked previously if I should file a police report from back in XXXX and was told no, I was again told no on the second report but despite being told no, I didnt need it I actually did file a police report with my local police department, report XXXX was filed with the XXXX Police department for the most recent incident. How are they claiming this is not fraud. Most of these transactions were made during my working hours, and with companies I have never even done business with. They should not be holding me accountable for fraudulent charges, its not my fault their system did not catch these, especially considering I rarely use the card and charges just start coming in back to back on an account thats rarely used. This not acceptable. This was fraud and I did not participate or benefit from the transactions and did what I was supposed to do and notified the credit card company as soon as I learned about the fraud. Not only did the reverse the previously approved fraud they reversed valid fraud charges to the account and closed it!!
