Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

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.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX U.S. Code XXXX ) says ( XXXX ) 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 XXXX 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.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I was doing what I thought would be a normal routine credit checkjust trying to stay on top of my finances and protect my score. But then I saw something that stopped me in my tracks : a hard inquiry from a company called XXXX XXXX. And my first thought was Who?? 

Seriously, I was completely confused and honestly kind of alarmed. Ive never knowingly applied for anything with XXXX XXXX credit card, no loan, nothing. It felt like someone knocked on the door to my financial life and walked in without asking. 

I immediately started digging to figure out what was going on. I reached out to the company asking for a few simple things : What did I supposedly apply for? 
Why was my credit pulled? 
Where is the proof that I ever gave permissionany form, document, or digital agreement? 
How and when did this so-called application happen? 

And yet nothing. No explanation, no receipts, no evidence. Just radio silence. 

Look, I know my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681band unless I gave clear permission, this inquiry shouldnt even be there. Im not trying to be difficult ; I just want whats fair. If XXXX XXXX cant show that I said yes, then Im asking for one simple thing : remove the inquiry from my credit reportimmediately.

Because right now, I feel like Im being held responsible for something I didnt ask for, didnt approve, and still dont fully understand.

Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Billing dispute for services
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Wells Fargo Auto regarding a vehicle loan for a XXXX XXXX that was charged off and reported negatively to my credit file. 

After XXXX  months of ownership, the engine failed, and I was stuck with a {$2500.00} repair bill that my warranty would not cover. I could not afford the repair. The dealership repossessed or auctioned the vehicle, and Wells Fargo still reported the full balance as charged off, even though I never regained the vehicle or received transparent auction documentation. 

This resulted in unfair and possibly inaccurate reporting, and I have never received documentation verifying the debt or explanation of how the final amount was calculated post-auction. 

I am requesting the CFPB investigate this matter, require Wells Fargo to produce documentation, and remove this from my credit report if they can not.

Complaint narrative:
Person called from XXXX. Returned the call. Advised company to send validation as sent is for spouse and not me. Person on phone stated that no time to send via mail and only email. I advised that I would need it via mail for paper trail. She states no time as it is moving to an attorney office to start the garnishment. I believe this is a violation of fdcpa as she can't guarantee a garnishment will happen. I asked for a transcript of the call so I can review it to ensure fdcpa was followed and she refused. At the end she stated she will mark this as a refusal to pay. During the call she also said when you signed for this however I did not sign for it and it was in fact my wife. At the end she hung up by saying good luck. 

I believe this call has violated my rights under fdcpa. First saying that I signed when in fact I did not. Second saying garnishment will happen when sending to a third party who may or may not proceed with a garnishment. Third staying marking as a refusal to pay which is a threatening tone .. fourth stating good luck at the end of the call. Company is structural settlement.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX my wife and applied for a HELOC to finance some home repairs. She is the Security Service Federal Credit Union member. We both signed the paperwork. Our marriage unravelled in XXXX and she began using the HELOC like an ATM. In XX/XX/XXXX I went to the branch office and was denied any information. I showed them that my name alone was on the first mortgage, copies of their signed paperwork and the title for the property with my name on it. I attempted multiple times to speak with someone in the corporate office, but my XXXX was not in their system. She hasn't made any payments and now the matter has been turned over to a collection attorney threatening foreclosure on the home. I need the information in the account ledgers to understand how this $ XXXX was spent. XXXX reached out to my divorce attorney with information about their collection attempts. I tried again to contact them, with no success. All mailed communication has been addressed to only her. I need access to understand how the money was spent, payment terms, and how to make payments.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My credit card statement indicated that I had a certain amount of reward dollars that were expiring/forfeited by the end of the month of when the statement was sent. It looks like the statement was sent 1 week or less before the end of the month. I did not receive the credit card statement until the beginning of the next month. 

I was unable to take any action to redeem the expiring reward dollars by the suspense date because by the time I opened my letter, the expiration date had passed and my reward dollars had already expired. I explain to the bank that insufficient amount of time was given and as a courtesy to all customers, the notification of expiring reward dollars should have been give at least two billing cycles ago. The bank explained that there is absolutely no way they can reinstate/reimburse my expired reward dollars. Their explanation was weak and feeble. 

I believe this tactic of a short notification is a method to deprive customers of their earned reward dollars, basically stealing money from the customers by giving them inadequate time to take measures to redeem their reward dollars.
