State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Urgent Request for Resolution of Credit Reporting Inaccuracy Dear Wells Fargo Customer Service, I am writing to bring to your attention a critical issue concerning the reporting of my Wells Fargo account information to XXXX, one of the major credit bureaus. Recently, I discovered a significant and unjustified drop of 13 points in my credit score, attributed to information provided by XXXX about my Wells Fargo account. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I observed that XXXX is reporting a balance of {$520.00} on my Wells Fargo account, which is inaccurately affecting my credit score. It is crucial to note that this reported information is not reflective of the actual status of my Wells Fargo account. The account is in good standing, with no outstanding balance. 

I have made attempts to resolve this matter directly with XXXX, but the response and assistance provided have been unsatisfactory. Therefore, I am reaching out to Wells Fargo with the hope that you can help rectify this reporting inaccuracy and collaborate with XXXX to update my credit information accurately. 

I kindly request the following actions : A thorough review of the information reported by Wells Fargo to XXXX regarding my account. 
Correction of any inaccuracies in the reported account balance and status. 
Timely communication and coordination with XXXX to ensure the updated and accurate information is reflected in my credit report. 
I believe that your prompt attention to this matter will not only rectify the credit reporting discrepancy but also contribute to maintaining the integrity of my credit history. 

Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to a swift resolution.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Urgent Complaint Regarding Unjustified Credit Score Drop and Poor Customer Service Dear Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint regarding a significant issue I encountered with Experian, one of the major credit reporting agencies. Upon logging into my Experian account online, I discovered a sudden and unexplained drop of XXXX points in my credit score. 

Upon further investigation, Experian claims that my XXXX XXXX account with a balance of {$520.00} is negatively impacting my credit score. However, this information is inaccurate. The reported balance and alleged negative impact do not align with the reality of my XXXX XXXX account, which is clean and in good standing. 

Despite my attempts to resolve this matter, I faced insurmountable challenges in dealing with Experian 's customer service. The first representative I spoke to was unhelpful and, to my disbelief, abruptly hung up on me. Subsequent attempts to address the issue were equally frustrating, with the second representative refusing to connect me with a supervisor. 

Moreover, I am troubled by the fact that every time I call Experian, my calls are directed to representatives in XXXX. This practice raises concerns about the security and confidentiality of my personal information, as I am required to provide sensitive details to individuals located outside of the country. 

I find it disconcerting that requesting to speak with a representative based in the United States is denied, and this restriction adds an additional layer of discomfort in resolving credit-related issues. 

I urge the Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter promptly, as the inaccuracies in my credit report and the unhelpful customer service practices at Experian are not only damaging but also reflect a breach of trust and adherence to regulatory standards. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and trust that appropriate actions will be taken to rectify the situation.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I called Synchrony Bank about my XXXX XXXX XXXX card to request an interest rate reduction, they denied me. I then requested to be put on their Customer Assistance Plan to close my account, which stops the interest, has no late fees and allows a lower minimum monthly payment until paid off.. They denied me. I explained I've struggled the past 12 months with increasing medical bills due to my XXXX. The company that I order my XXXX XXXX from every 3 months is XXXX XXXX in XXXX, XXXX. They ( XXXX ) are owned by XXXX XXXX and they charge very large fees ( up to {$1000.00} ), I applied for the XXXX XXXX Financial Assistance program and was accepted XX/XX/XXXX, but the XXXX company refuses to honor it and won't send my orders. This is the only company my employers insurance will work with. So when they won't send my orders I have to pay with a credit card. Now I am so far in debt that I can't keep up on my payments, although I haven't missed any payment this year or been late, that's not going to be the case next year.
