Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a {$200.00} prepaid XXXX gift card from XXXX XXXX and XXXX. I tried to use the card a month later and found out that somebody else had used the card ( stolen ). I immediately called customer care and sent in required information to have the card replaced. I have since obtained a new gift card in my name and while waiting close to a month to have the three fraudulent charges disputed, I have been sending more than 3 faxes and just today I was told that whoever put in the dispute form mistakenly put in Washington State instead of XXXX XXXX ( where I live ). They just told me that I have to start the procedure all over again because it was an error that they have made. I can clearly see that the fax I had sent in has the correct address with XXXX in the state. I simply wish for the stolen money to be returned back to the card.

Complaint narrative:
Good afternoon XXXX XXXX, My name is XXXX XXXX and my complaint # XXXX. I am emailing you in regards to my complaint that I have submitted to you. It shows that the company sent me settlement letters XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I have never received any type of collection settlements or documentation from the reporting consumer as stated. Therefore, the report should be deleted from my credit reports for not being received. I am in the process of trying to buy a home from my family and this collection is really holding me back from doing so for my family. I desperately need help with getting this removed from my report. Please help me to get this resolved. I desperately need help Thank You

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I mailed a Multiple inquiry removal letter to Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX by certified mail to dispute information on my credit file in regards to XXXX hard Inquiries that I did n't authorize. This company received my certified letter on XX/XX/XXXX and I received a completed response on XX/XX/XXXX, confirmation # XXXX. The request that I submitted was for the XXXX hard inquiries that were not factual but I received a response saying, " Inquiries are factual record of file access and if you believe this was unauthorized please contact the creditor, '' and it gave the creditors information. According to FCRA rules, FCRA 623 ( b ) ( 2 ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) it states that any information can be disputed and MUST BE INVESTIGATED and if you DO NOT INVESTIGATE AND RESPOND, the CRA mist delete the disputed information from its files. I received a response to my request 4 business days after they received my request so I must assume that no full investigation on this matter even took place. I 'm in the process of purchasing a home for my family and I but I was told with these many inquiries on my file that it looks like a sign of financial trouble, which that is not the case here. I 'm submitting this complaint due to lack of investigation of these XXXX hard inquiries that I have NO KNOWLEDGE OF NOR DID I AUTHORIZE! After receiving this response on XX/XX/XXXX, I called and placed a Security Alert on my credit file which was in place for 90 days. As of today more inquiries were put on my file even after my security alert that I received no knowledge of which whomever was pulling my file was suppose to contact me directly as stated by the security alert. I called Equifax and spoke with agent XXXX concerning these inquiries again because I had not sign for anything nor authorized anything and he informed me that I COULD NOT DISPUTE THIS INFORMATION I had to call the creditor! This is unfair practices by a credit reporting agency with no concern for the worthiness of a consumer and I 'm very displeased with this company.

Complaint narrative:
I went into a Jared Jewelry Store at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, Ga XXXX the other day. While I was there my girlfriend was trying on rings, the manager pulled me to the side and told me he could do a quick check to see what kind of financing I would qualify for when the time comes. He clearly advised me this was not an application for credit, but a means of seeing how much credit I could be preapproved for. I even double checked and was clearly assured by XXXX XXXX and XXXX that this was not an application for any type of credit and would not cause a hard pull on my credit report. It turns out they were both knowingly lying and filling out a credit card application on my behalf, XXXX XXXX even exaggerated my income and put down {$3000.00} per month after I stated {$2500.00}. This is an unfair and deceptive practice, at no point did I have the opportunity to see the terms of the product I was applying for as I was repetitively assured that I was not applying for anything. This experience exhibits the exact practices that UDAAP and Regulation Z aim to eliminate.

Almost 3 years later, Wells Fargo contacted me to inform me that they never received insurance proof, had charged me their insurance premium, and charged fees for delinquencies on my account.

Company: AmeriCollect
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have balances with XXXX XXXX XXXX and it was turned over to ameri collect collection agency. The agency has listed each account individually on my and my husbands credit report. We have total Balance of {$15000.00} from dates XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. That is owed to both XXXX hospital and XXXX XXXX. I Have disputed the amount of accounts listed on my credit report as many companies have advised me that this does not seem ethical to have 132 medical accounts listed individually. These accounts range from {$11.00} to {$240.00}. I can understand putting the collection balances on my credit report but not listing it 132 times each individually. I have contacted Americollect multiple times to ask them to combine the balances into 1 or 2 balances they have responded that they will not remove the multiple listed accounts, they also advised that if I paid the balance to {$0.00} they will still be listed individually. My credit report is 30 pages long due to 132 medical accounts listed individually. This should not be legal, it is legal to add collections to someone credit report but not list it individually like that. I have had so many people tell me that this is not legal or ethical.
