Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Complaint narrative:
I wrote a letter about false information on my credit report, and more than 45 days later, I still haven't heard anything back. I think my complaint is being disregarded and that I'm being victimized of. It is precisely stated in Section 611 ( a ) that refusal to investigate these allegations within 30 days is cause for immediate removal of all those allegations from my credit report ; given that it has been more than 60 days, they should be promptly deleted. I demand that these accounts be terminated right away, or else I'll pursue you for the anguish you put upon my life. The XXXX data breach exposed my information well as, and it's feasible that it landed in the incorrect hands. Also apply law 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( e ) ( b ) ASAP so I know I am being treated fairly and with equal rights as a consumer.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint against Wells Fargo for violating the Fair Credit Billing Act. Specifically, I believe that the credit card issuer re-applied a dispute on my credit card account after 60 days, which is in violation of the 60-day limit set forth by the XXXX Credit Billing Act. 

On XX/XX/2023 & XX/XX/2023, I made a purchase on my credit card with the above-mentioned credit card issuer. However, I discovered an error on my billing statement and immediately contacted the issuer to dispute the charge. After an investigation, the issuer removed the disputed charge from my account. 

However, I was surprised to find that the same charge was re-applied to my account after 60 days had passed. I believe that this is a violation of the Fair Credit Billing Act, as the dispute was initiated within the 60-day time frame.

I have attempted to resolve this issue with the credit card issuer, but have not been able to reach a satisfactory resolution. As a result, I am seeking your assistance in resolving this matter.

I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that you take appropriate action to ensure that the credit card issuer complies with the Fair Credit Billing Act. If you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
