Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Wells Fargo Bank , N.A . for financial misconduct, mishandling of a dispute, and what now appears to be deliberate double-billing. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I made a purchase at XXXX XXXX. I disputed the transaction, and Wells Fargo issued a temporary credit of {$930.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, which appeared on my XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX statement. 

Without providing any new evidence or communication from the merchant, Wells Fargo reposted the full {$930.00} to my account on the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX statement. Despite this, I paid the entire balance in full on XX/XX/XXXX, including that reposted amount. My XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX statement showed a {$0.00} balance. 

Then months after full payment Wells Fargo unilaterally reopened the dispute and charged me again for the same {$930.00}, without consent, notification, or proper legal basis. Even worse, in their written response to me, they falsely claimed the amount rebilled was {$840.00} which is completely inaccurate and unsupported by any bank statement. 



Why This Is Unacceptable : The charge was already paid in full. Wells Fargo is attempting to collect on the same debt twice. 
Their explanation is vague, misleading, and factually incorrect. 
They have not acknowledged my XX/XX/XXXX payment or explained how this was accounted for. 
They are referencing the wrong amount ( {$840.00} ) instead of the actual transaction amount ( {$930.00} ). 
They reopened a closed dispute without my knowledge or request, violating federal consumer protections under Regulation Z and the Fair Credit Billing Act.

What Im Requesting : 1. Immediate removal of the {$930.00} rebilled charge 2. Full reversal of any interest or penalties connected to this charge 3. A formal investigation into Wells Fargos handling of this dispute 4. Written confirmation that my XX/XX/XXXX payment is recognized and that I owe nothing further 5. Oversight into whether this is part of a broader pattern of fraudulent rebilling behavior This is not a misunderstanding this is systemic abuse and a breakdown of fair dispute handling. I have supporting bank statements, timeline documentation, and evidence of Wells Fargos false reporting, and I am prepared to escalate to legal action if this is not addressed immediately.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late. This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance. Please CORRECT this item from my consumer report! According to15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports The Law clearly states : ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I clearly did not give your agency written authorization or written instructions to report this information. Your agency is conspiring with these creditors against me in committing aggravated identity theft and I have sustained defamation of my character, just to name a couple damages should this matter escalate to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures- ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall -- i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Ive recently discovered several late payment notations on my credit report that are completely false, and I want to make it clear that I will not tolerate these inaccuracies being used to misjudge my financial character. These harmful entries are dragging down my credit score, affecting my access to opportunities, and putting unnecessary strain on my mental and emotional health. Some of these alleged late payments were in fact made on time, while others may stem from clerical mistakes or internal processing delays that were never communicated to me. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that every piece of data on a consumer report be factually accurate and verifiable by original documentation. That means if these late payment entries can not be backed up with real, dated billing statements or signed agreements, they should not be reported at all. I am demanding that these entries be immediately corrected or removed, depending on what the documentation proves. If the credit reporting agencies or furnishers continue to ignore this matter, I will interpret that as a willful and deliberate violation of federal lawand respond accordingly. I deserve better, and I will fight until this is made right.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to transfer my XXXX XXXX  account from Citibank to XXXX since XXXX, but each attempt was met with unclear instructions, limited access, and administrative hurdles that caused me to give up. In XX/XX/XXXX, I committed to completing the transfer and have followed every required step since. 

I restarted the process on XX/XX/XXXX. I mailed Citi the full IRA application and ID documents on XX/XX/XXXX, and faxed additional documents ( SSN card, W-2, etc. ) on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, a Citi representative confirmed everything had been received and said my account would be activated within 710 business days. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I visited a XXXX branch in person and had them submit the official trustee-to-trustee transfer form with my signature and XXXX  Signature Guarantee. XXXX confirmed it was sent. Despite that, Citi rejected the transfer, claiming that the payee line said XXXX XXXX  instead of my name something I was never told in writing. 

I called Citi regularly, spoke with multiple reps, and finally reached a supervisor ( XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX, who acknowledged the problem but could not give me any written confirmation or solution. Citibanks CFPB response stated that a letter with further documentation was sent to me on XX/XX/XXXX. However, I did not receive that letter until XX/XX/XXXX, and even then, it did not contain clear instructions or next steps. I had to keep calling every day just to find out what was wrong. 

Meanwhile, I still can not access my account online or through Citis automated phone system. The system does not recognize my Social Security number or account number. Ive received no online credentials, no account statement, and no written instructions for accessing or managing my retirement funds. I must call and speak to a representative every time just to confirm the account exists. 

XXXX has since resubmitted the corrected transfer form, but Citibank continues to delay and closed my previous CFPB complaint without resolving the actual access issue. My funds remain locked in a system I can not see, access, or control after nearly two months of daily effort and full cooperation.
