Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to express my complete dissatisfaction with Experian 's lack of investigation. I've notified them numerous times regarding errors on my credit report and they have not done anything to fix the errors and they have not been able to properly verify the information. I am stressed due to their erroneous reporting which is causing my scores to go down and making it hard for me to get approved for credit. They have been negligent in their handling of my disputes and non compliant to the FCRA on several accounts. I am seeking legal advice on the matter due to multiple violations of the FCRA being hard to ignore.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I opened a savings account at TD bank that came with a {$200.00} bonus, but after completing the terms I never received the bonus. Below is a timeline of the events : Fall XXXX : Received mailer promoting " {$200.00} when you deposit at least {$20000.00} in new funds in the first 20 days and keep at least a {$20000.00} daily balance for 90 days. '' XX/XX/XXXX : Opened a savings account with TD bank and deposited {$20000.00}. 
Winter XXXX : Called TD bank customer service line to make sure the account qualified for the bonus, and was assured that they did. 
XX/XX/XXXX : Completed the terms for receiving the bonus. 
XX/XX/XXXX : The bonus was still not reflected in my account, so I called the store manager about the lack of payment. He was going to look into it but I never heard back about a resolution XX/XX/XXXX : Went into another TD bank and spoke to a manager about the issue. She claimed no promotional mailer was sent to my address. They asked if I had a copy of the mailer but I no longer had it after opening the account 2 years ago. I believe there may be an error in their electronic system about who/where the mailers were sent to, because I definitely learned of the promotion through a mailer I received in my mailbox.

I made a {$300.00} payment over the phone.

Complaint narrative:
I have reviewed by credit report from Experian dated XX/XX/XXXX, and discovered once again an inaccurate and incomplete record reporting on my file as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX '' Reference # XXXX. In my dispute according to complaint # XXXX, I requested that Experian provide me the " SOURCE '' of the information for this disputed inaccurate and incomplete bankruptcy record. Experian has refused to provide this information which is intentional and reckless. According to the FCRA Experian is required to provide me the source of information in accordance with 15 US 1681g ( a ) ( 2 ) which states " Every consumer reporting agency shall, upon request, and subject to section 1681h ( a ) ( 1 ) of this title, clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer '' ( 2 ) The sources of the information ; except that the sources of information acquired solely for use in preparing an investigative consumer report and actually used for no other purpose need not be disclosed : Provided, That in the event an action is brought under this subchapter, such sources shall be available to the plaintiff under appropriate discovery procedures in the court in which the action is brought. '' In dispute and case # XXXX ( attached ) Experian admitted to not contacted the courts for this information and stated that he relies on " Public Record Vendors '' which is what is reporting on my credit report ( attached ). If this has changed, Experian needs to " CLEARLY '' state it's source. I have also attached a disclosure from XXXX XXXX who has stated that they provide Experian with public record information. My XXXX XXXX disclosure report does not include a bankruptcy, this has been provided to Experian on numerous occasions. Additionally, XXXX XXXX is not authorized to share my data with Experian or any other source with the exemption of Law Enforcement per my suppression request. It is illegal XXXX XXXX to report information that has been disputed and unable to be verified as accurate.

I am requesting Experian provide me the source of information and how it verified the completeness and accuracy of this record. I DO NOT accept the investigations completed on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX as they DO NOT address my dispute and request. If Experian can not do so within 30 days of this dispute, it must delete this record from my credit report.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I received an email from Wells Fargo on XX/XX/2023 about a loan servicer transfer to a company called " XXXX XXXX '' occuring on XX/XX/2023 - this does not appear to comply with the notice requirements of XXXX which requires 15 day notice. The return email address was not wellsfargo.com. but instead XXXX. Upon independent verification by phone Wells Fargo at a known number they indicate the transfer of mortgage servicer is taking place on XX/XX/2023 and emailed me a pdf letter with the date of XX/XX/2023. I received no notice or alert about this letter being generated and have not received the letter by mail - I would there for have no reason to go looking for it. 

It is my opinion that this process is not in compliance with 12 CFR Part 1024 ( Regulation X ) Subpart A - General Provisions 1024.33 and should not be occurring on XX/XX/2023 because proper notice was not given. Posting a pdf letter to an online account is NOT NOTICE - there is no reason for me to check this account every day looking for notices - notice requries a positive action to reach out to me by the financial institution which did not happen here. 

Reading about the new servicer there appear to be signs of growing too fast with many consumers falling victim to the transfer process and very poor communication resulting in negative credit reporting actions as well as delinquencies when none would have existed without the transfer occurring. This is a sign of a problem that CFPB should address. 

I contacted the new servicer who states that I may not be able to make a payment with them on XXXX XX/XX/2023 due to delays in setup of the account- this is not acceptable and again does not appear to comply with 12 CFR Part 1024 ( Regulation X ) Subpart A - General Provisions 1024.33.
