Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Today, XX/XX/2020, I received a call from my bank regarding a mortgage application I filed. I was shocked to learn that accounts for which my son had listed us solely as authorized users were counting against our credit score. We are not now nor ever have we been financially responsible for these cards yet this is counting against us. This is patently unfair and this practice needs to stop at once.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I obtained my credit report online and based on my findings there was a U.S. Bankruptcy Court items listed on my credit reports. Per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file.

The Bankruptcy Courts have mailed me letters which emphatically stated that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the U.S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW.

My inquiry to the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts confirmed the three reporting Credit Bureau has never validated or verified these public record entries on my credit report, neither will they ever be by them. They further stated while they are NOT liable or responsible for any MISUSE or INCORRECT public records, nor the distribution of said information, public records may, and oftentimes are, reported by third party sources unawares to the consumer, and in most cases, incorrectly. Considering the information indicating a Fair Credit Reporting Act violation, I need all bankruptcy information currently showing under my social security number to be PERMANENTLY DELETED from my credit report immediately.

The Credit Bureau needs to provide me with copies of all documentation associated with these Public Record Accounts bearing either a court order to place this information in my credit report, or my authorization of release bearing my signature. In the meantime, to be in full compliance with the FCRA laws and guidelines, all the information listed under Public Records needs to be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my name and social security number. Be further advised that I am closely monitoring my credit file. Per the Federal Law, you have exactly 30 days to complete this investigation as outlined per the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623 ( a ) ( 3 ).

All of the accounts on the attached file are from XX/XX/2015 and I have written to all the credit reporting agencies and they ignore me. 
It is not legal to show a charge off/write off and STILL show a balance due. It has to be one or the other. 
This has destroyed my credit and I have reached out to all of them, yet to no avail. I have been turned down for a mortgage because of this.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly — Contacted your employer
Company: Platinum Holdings Group, LLC
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I, my employer, and a family member has been contacted by who Ive now identified to be Platinum Holdings, LLC multiple times over this past week. They called my place of employment ( even going as far as to ask front desk personnel what time I finished with my last client ) and my personal cell phone at least three times on XX/XX/2020. One of these phone calls were from an unknown number and requested me to call them back at XXXX, other calls originated from phone number XXXX I also received a call on XX/XX/XXXX. Platinum Holdings does not verbalize their true identity, but instead falsely misrepresents themselves as XXXX and XXXX. I dont even know what debt that may be collecting. Even their voicemail does not identify a company name. They have released to people other than myself the following : my date of birth, the last 4 of my social, and my address. In each call, Im threatened with papers being served at my employer. I have never received anything from Platinum Holdings LLC referring to a debt or validation there of. And they have never received permission from myself to contact family members or my employer, which they have repeatedly called. This company misrepresents who they are. Their behavior is extremely harassing in nature, and they are releasing my private information illegally.

Issue: Managing an account — Fee problem
Company: AMERIS BANCORP
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX was bought out by Ameris Bank.Since the change unexplained overdraft fees have hit both my business and peronal accounts. When attempting to view my accounts via mobile banking balances are inaccurate not including all check card purchases that should be pending. My business account was unable to be viewed for a month during the switch which was completely inconvenient. I was also charged multiple overdraft fees for the same item that only came out of my account once. There are also no working ATMs in my area which means if the bank is closed I am unable to make a deposit into my account. This is a huge inconvenience considering I am working during normal banking hours. I truly believe that Ameris bank is manipulating how transactions are posted in order to collect overdraft fees. I also believe Ameris bank is limiting what the customer can view via mobile banking in an attempt to collect overdraft fees.
