Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a used car in XXXX  and financed it through Wells Fargo. For more than 2 years I made payments from my credit union electronically. In XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  my electronic payment was rejected for no reason. My credit union informed me Wells Fargo rejected my payment because their mailing address had changed. I was never informed of this change. On XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  I sent an inquiry via Wells Fargo web page inquiring as to why my payment had been rejected. Wells Fargo responded they would look into it and to date, has not responded. To avoid late charges, I resubmitted a payment. This resulted in a duplicate payment to my account. Wells Fargo has not provided any notice of changes to my account or updated payment instructions. Wells Fargo rejected my payment with no explanation.

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Equifax Information Services LLC regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ).

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
My XXXX account was recently closed without warning while holding over {$300.00} of my money. I was not given a clear explanation or any opportunity to resolve the issue before the closure. I urgently need access to these funds, as I am currently in financial hardship. 

I have contacted PayPal support multiple times and even escalated to a supervisor. I was told my funds may be held for up to XXXX  days, but I can not afford to wait that long. These are my personal funds and I rely on them for essential living expenses.

I am requesting that the CFPB assist in reviewing this case and pressuring PayPal to either release my funds immediately or provide a documented reason and expedited path for resolution. This is urgent, and I need access to my money now.

I am writing to thank you for your continued support and to respectfully request a goodwill adjustment regarding the above-mentioned auto loan account. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed there were XXXX missed payments during the period of late XXXX to early XXXX. I take full responsibility for these missed payments. During that time, I was experiencing a temporary job loss, which made it difficult to remain current on my obligations. 

Since then, I have made every effort to correct the situation and have consistently made on-time payments. I remain committed to fulfilling my financial responsibilities and maintaining a positive relationship with XXXX. 

As a gesture of goodwill, I respectfully request that you consider removing the late payment entries from my credit report. This adjustment would significantly assist me in improving my credit standing and achieving my future financial goals. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least XXXX days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

' the following day I received a call from a person claiming to represent XXXX, and informing me that there was an internal fraud situation and he was going to guide me through the steps to get my money into safety. On XX/XX/year> I went to the bank, he told me I was very vulnerable to having all of my money taken internally and that he set me up with a chase bank account who that bank also partners with- he had me withdraw my funds without telling the bankers because he said they were all suspect. He had me download a chase bank card into my wallet XXXX XXXX on my XXXX, I did, he guided me into depositing {$9700.00} dollars into the account. Afterwards he guided me into the next steps which led me to deleting the bank card .. then I realized it was most likely fraud. I went into shock, came home and felt very uneasy and scared. Eventually I confided in a friends a few hours later what happened and she hope me pull myself together and call the banks- both chase and XXXX XXXX informed me it was definitely a fraud situation. Chase would not let me file anything or look into anything over the phone. They had no options for me. I have all the receipts from the atms. I promptly went to the local police station and filed a report- I gave them all the receipts and texts and proof of the situation- they agreed this is fraud. Currently my bank is frozen with my remaining funds and the banker suspects I have malware on my phone. I am very scared and confused about what to do next.

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.
