Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2006 I obtain a mortgage from at the current time was Wachovia Bank and is now Wells Fargo after I was qualified from the state of XXXX XXXX to purchase this townhouse at an affordable rate which was {$77000.00} and the fare market value at that time it was {$260000.00} and was built new for me. 
I have the reason to believe that I was discriminated against because of my XXXX  etc.I am an XXXX XXXX. 
The interest rate that I was giving and still have is 7.000 % at the time in XXXX  I had an average credit score from at-least 2 major credit reporting agency of XXXX. 
I did the short math and at the 30 years of mortgage goes the full term I would then have paid {$230000.00} for a {$77000.00} loan. 
Its seem to me thats something is wrong with that scenario, its seem to be very unfair. 
I contacted Wells Fargo like 2 years ago and made a complaint, Wells Fargo did there investigation and there results claimed that the reason for the high interest rate was because I had only a XXXX credit score at that time, and that is untrue.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I noticed XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX were showing incorrect accounts that were my ex-husband 's. I contacted them over and over and over again. Writing down names and times. Each time, they said that they were taking care of the issue. I even sent a notarized report they asked me to fill out. That was on XX/XX/XXXX. I received a letter reading that the matter was settled on XX/XX/XXXX. I still called because I could see that it was still on my report. I needed to go to XXXX XXXX  to get a job, but couldn't do that without financial aid, which I could not get because of this. Thus, I would call again and again, the last time being told that on XX/XX/XXXX they had told the three credit reporting agencies to remove the account. But each time, they also put a caveat that I must fax in the credit report ( current - not past 60 days ) and then they would remove the problem again by contacting all the agencies. Or I could have the agencies contact them. I did both. And the credit agencies, when I followed up, all stated that they had called that company, but had not received the information requested. I finally gave up at the end of XXXX for school. I figured that the 7 year law would kick in and they would HAVE to follow the law. Still I called and went through all the loops all the way until today. Today I received a denial for my student loan because of this. Thus, I contacted all of the above again. Again I was given the same information, " Oh! It should have been removed. You can fax or mail your most current credit report, not past 60 days ), then we will make sure it's removed. Or you can have the credit agencies call us. '' When I asked them how long this would take, I was told 30-60 days on their end and probably the same for the credit reporting agencies. I stated that was too late. So I called the XXXX financial aid office to explain, but they said they don't have anything to do with it as these are federal loans. I will re-fax and send certified mail as I have in the past and then call. But now, it's past the 7 years, how can they still hold me hostage on the three credit reporting agencies. Now I know why I couldn't receive credit to purchase a car I desperately needed for my job. This is messing up my life for something that I did not do and is now against the law as it should have fallen off XXXX, XXXX for the FCRA and I feel now, that it's hopeless.

US Bank tried to contact me on XX/XX/28, regarding the application for a credit card. That person was trying to get me to confirm information and I knew it was a phishing scam!! Now Ive received two letters in the mail, informing me that the information in the application couldnt be verified and so the application was denied. I called US Bank but the department that handles this issue s closed for the day. One of the reps was kind enough to give me the FTC.gov website, for reporting this immediately. She also confirmed that the number that call me to confirm is NOT a US Bank phone number.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am a natural living person and no credit repair organization is representing me. 

On XXXX, XX/XX/2022 a complaint was submitted to Experian due to incorrect information on my consumer report ( ID XXXX ). Experian stated in writing that they verified the information, but they failed to provide me with strong evidence of their investigation. 

Since your company provided no information or evidence of substance ( such as an original consumer contract with my signature ) it leads me to believe that a proper investigation was not conducted ; therefore, Im questioning the accuracy and integrity of your response according to CFR 1022.41 ( d ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( i ).

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail, or email in a fraudulent account. 

I demand to see the Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file for the account listed. Your failure to effectively verify this account has hurt my ability to obtain credit and general reputation. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if you can not provide me a copy of the verifiable proof, you must remove the account listed in this complaint. 

I am also requesting a complete annual file disclosure as required under section 612 ( a ) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681j ( a ), via mail. 

Notarized letters and a copy of my identity have been included and sent via certified mail to the address provided in the complaint id listed above.
