Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I received a call from what I believed to be a Wells Fargo Representative from ( XXXX ) XXXX, the Wells Fargo Customer Service Number. 
The caller introduced herself as a Wells Fargo Fraud Specialist named XXXX XXXX ( # XXXX ) to report fraudulent charges on my bank account and gave instructions to halt/reverse XXXX charges for {$1000.00} sent to XXXX XXXX at phone number ( XXXX ) XXXX. 

This resulted in this person being sent {$1000.00} from my bank account. I was placed on hold to wait for a confirmation number and the call was ultimately disconnected. I waited for a few moments for a call back. I immediately called Wells Fargo to follow up and was informed that the money had been deducted from my account. 

I then reported a claim. I was given a claim number and did not hear anything until I called on XX/XX/year> to find out the status of the claim and was informed that the claim had been closed.

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am being held responsible for a purchase I did not make and was billed for by the loan company affirm. A purchase was made from a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX in my name and appeared on my account as a {$90.00} loan. I have confirmed with the company XXXX XXXX XXXX  that I did not make the purchase and no items were sent to my address from them. 
Affirm refuses to correct the issue stating that I am responsible for paying for something I didn't buy or receive. 
I sent affirm an email from the company XXXX XXXX XXXX  stating they do not have any record of any purchases from me or of anything being sent to my address. The shipper does not have any record of it either. This is either a case of identity theft or a billing error on the part of the Affirm company. 
I have reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX  but Affirm chose not to resolve the issue at that time as well. 
I have asked affirm for documentation of their ''investigation '' showing that I am responsible for this purchase and never received anything. 
Today I received an email stating that they are going to report the loan of {$90.00} as delinquent to credit reporting agencies.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
