Consumer complaint received 2019-01-07 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I asked Experian to conduct an investigation on six accounts where I believed there to be inaccurate information. They conducted their investigation and all of the information came back as verified. They did a horrible job investigating whether the information was correct or not. After they conducted the investigation and said everything was verified. I looked back over my credit report and all of the inaccurate items were still on the report. I recently sent documents to dispute the validity of these accounts on XX/XX/18-XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. The other four accounts were disputed within the previous year. Also, the XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX account have not been updated about being in dispute. This has gone over the thirty-day mark that they must say on the report that these items are in dispute. I am very unhappy with this situation because I asked them to do an investigation which they are legally required to do, and they said they did it and everything was verified, but somehow none of the inaccurate items were taken off. They did not do an investigation into my inquiry at all. It looks as if they just sent me a letter back saying it was verified. They are violating 611. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ]. There is inaccurate information on these accounts, and they were not taken off after a thirty day period.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I filed bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX. 
Prior to filing, I had not missed any payments on 15 accounts that I had. 
Once I filed, an automatic stay was filed. 
The bankruptcy is now discharged. 
XXXX and XXXX  are reporting my file correctly. Experian is not. 

They are showing negative payments on all 15 accounts in my credit summary. 
However, when I try to dispute them, it will not allow me to select " Payment never late '' as a reason. It then states that the payment was never late. The same happens on all 15 accounts.

So, in short, my credit score with them is based on 15 late payments even though they say payments not late on each individual one. 

I attempted to dispute and explain on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, both times nothing was changed with the negative payments My score is around 100 points lower with Experian because of this

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complaint Case # XXXX and the claim was closed before i received my credit report. XXXX is still reporting incorrectly to Trans Union and possibly XXXX. 


At the end of XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX XXXX  via phone and in the process the customer service rep asked me to verify personal information. I was asked to verify my birthdate and when I replied XX/XX/XXXX the rep refused to continue the call because I did not answer correctly. I called back and spoke with a different rep and was informed that there were multiple ways to verify a customer account and the birthdate didnt need to be verified to continue discussing the account. At that point I was concerned I had this account since XXXX Shortly after XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter notifying me that the Mortgage Origination Date was corrected on XXXX for tax year XXXX and I would receive a copy via mail. I immediately called XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX and she informed me that my case XXXX was being handled by XXXX XXXX and gave me his direct contact number XXXX XXXX XXXX which did not work. While on the phone with XXXX I checked my credit report for all 3 credit bureaus and discovered that TransUnion did not have XXXX XXXX  reported at all only XXXX XXXX. I refinanced and had a first loan with XXXX XXXX and a second line of equity with XXXX XXXX  in XXXX. I refinanced the first loan with XXXX XXXX  in XXXX and the loan was paid off but I still had the second loan with XXXX XXXX. TransUnion had no record of XXXX XXXX  which explained why my credit score was 30 points lower than XXXX and XXXX. I immediately initiated a dispute with TransUnion and they responded swiftly XXXX XXXX XXXX stating there is nothing they could do because the account never appeared on the report. I then submitted another complaint disputing XXXX XXXX  instead of XXXX XXXX after speaking with a manager at TransUnion to get XXXX to respond so they could discover the error with my XXXX XXXX. TransUnion responded XXXX XXXX XXXX to the second dispute and I still had not heard from XXXX XXXX.

Product: Checking or savings account — Other banking product or service
Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I opened a Citi Priority Account Package on line on XX/XX/2018 during Citibank had a promotional opening bonus between XXXX. ( see attachment 1 ) Citibank sent me a message states my application of Citi Priority Account Package with Regular Checking and Citi Savings is being processed. ( see attachment 2 ) Per their promotion requirement, I deposited {$50000.00} bank fund into my City Priority account around XX/XX/18 and maintained the same balance until XX/XX/18. 

Since I have not received {$600.00} cash bonus, I questioned Citibank and ask for the promotion on XX/XX/2018. 

XX/XX/18, Citibank denied my request and provided a reason that I did not opened a saving account during their promotion period. ( See attachment # 3 ) Here is my complaint : 1. I opened Citi Priority Account Package with Regular checking and SAVINGS at same time. Citi 's application confirmation shows so. 

2. If I am NOT eligible to open the Savings account, should Citi send me any notice on this issue once their process is done? Why I have nerve receive any notification from Citibank since I applied to open a Citi Savings?? 

Perhaps Citibank had a mistake on their process and not open a savings account for me. Then they have to honor this promotion bonus to me. If they continually blame customer do not meet their requirement, that could be a cheating and misleading!

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I paid my monthly due amount to JC Penney, inside the store in XX/XX/2018. They advised me in XXXX that they did not receive my payment. I sent them a copy of my cancelled check which showed that they did receive the payment. The letter was sent on XX/XX/2018 to the headquarter office of JC Penney, customer service and headquarters of Synchrony Bank. The information was to the address on the statement. I received my statement today, which showed another late fee and a larger payment due. I called Synchrony Bank and they said that they never received my letter. I am suspicious that all 3 did not receive my letter as I have not heard from any of them. My letter is below.
