Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is XXXX  % true, accurate & correct. 

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( XXXX ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof.

I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXXXXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported in XXXX, XXXX, AND XXXX to be removed. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. XXXXXXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am submitting a formal complaint against Wells Fargo regarding the imposition of XXXX {$35.00} overdraft fees, totaling {$70.00}, on my account, despite my adherence to the banks communicated grace period. I believe these fees are unfair and were applied due to inconsistent and misleading policies involving time zones and transaction posting practices. 

Details of the Incident : On XX/XX/year>, I received a notification from Wells Fargo at XXXX XXXX  XXXX, informing me of a XXXX grace period to bring my account to a positive balance. The bank indicated that the deadline for this grace period was XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, which differs from my MST time zone by XXXX hours. 

To meet this deadline, I deposited funds at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, which is equivalent to XXXX XXXX XXXX, successfully bringing my account to a positive balance. Despite this, XXXX overdraft fees were charged at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ) on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Key Points of the Complaint : XXXX. Inconsistent Time Zone Usage for Grace Period and Fee Posting : The bank communicated the grace period deadline using XXXX but used XXXX  for the overdraft fee posting. This inconsistency created confusion, resulting in my account being charged overdraft fees even though I deposited funds within what I believed to be an adequate timeframe. 


XXXX. Acknowledgment of Positive Balance : During a conversation with a second-level supervisor, they confirmed, Your transaction was posted at XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, verifying that my account was in positive standing before the overdraft fees were applied. 


XXXX. Contradictory Posting Policy : The same supervisor stated that Wells Fargo posts overdrafts at XXXX XXXX, suggesting that the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX grace period deadline could not realistically be applied consistently. Without an adjusted deadline to account for the banks posting practices, customers like myself risk being unfairly penalized even after taking corrective action. 
Please note, that I am not bringing up the second second-level supervisor, XXXX, who was not only rude but very codascinding and needs to be trained in customer service.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request verification of a credit card account that has been reported in my name. 

My legal name is XXXX XXXX, not XXXX XXXX, as has been incorrectly reported. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ), I am entitled to request a reinvestigation of any disputed information and to verify its accuracy.

Please provide the following : 1. Proof of my authorization to open this account, specifically a signed application or other documentation that includes my correct name and signature, per 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

2. Information on the method used to apply for this account and where it was opened.

3. Copies of any identification or documents used to verify my identity when this account was opened.

Additionally, I want to clarify that the previous account statements you have sent are not proof that I authorized the opening of this account. I therefore demand a re-verification that includes my signature, demonstrating my consent to open this account.

If you can not provide this verification, I request that you : Immediately delete this account from all of my credit reports, per 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires the deletion of unverifiable information.

Cease reporting this account to all credit reporting agencies.

Provide written confirmation of the deletion and removal from my credit reports.

Furthermore, if this account has been written off or charged off, your company is required to issue a Form 1099-C for canceled debt under IRS regulations . According to IRS guidelines, creditors must file a Form 1099-C to report the cancellation of debt of {$600.00} or more, and I have not received this form as required. If this account was indeed canceled, please provide confirmation of the 1099-C filing or an explanation of its absence.

Please respond in writing within 30 days, as required by law. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I look forward to your response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a letter regarding the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report, but it's now been over 30 days, and I haven't received any response. This lack of action is really concerning. According to Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), youre required to investigate disputed items within 30 days, and if you don't, those items must be removed from my report.

Since it's been more than 30 days, I expect my credit report to be updated immediately, reflecting the removal of the disputed accounts. If this isn't resolved quickly, Ill have no choice but to consider legal action, as this ongoing delay has caused me considerable stress. 

Additionally, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which makes me even more worried about how my personal information is being handled.
