Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Notification didn't disclose it was an attempt to collect a debt
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Case # XXXX On XX/XX/year>, my XXXX XXXX XXXX  account with a balance of {$1600.00} connected with my dad, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, for years now since leaving for College, was levied along with his. All of my money was gone with a day left to pay my rent which was included in that amount. While I understand that my being connected to him at the time of the legal order is a thing, I do not think it should be ethical or right that my money should be taken into this situation that had nothing to do with me. I am pleading that something is done to get my money back to me somehow some way because I have no connections to the loan payment nor will I be the one paying the loan back since it is his loan that I had no knowledge of. I have bills to pay and I have never been late on any of my bills so I would hate for it to be on the account of this that I run behind on my payments. Ive been on the phone and have talked to someone by the name of XXXX at XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX and she said he would have to pay the money back which he will be working on doing that but as for me, I should be exempt from this situation. Is there ANYTHING anyone can do to remove me from this situation and having my money returned to me.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
CitiBank double cash credit card had multiple fraud charges made on it from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX} and {$110.00} were not taken off, but two fraud charges were from the same place. 
I got alerted right away and on that same day, XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted CitiBank and they closed the credit card down and sent me a new card ( s ) immediately. Upon my new card account being opened, I saw that two of the fraudulent charges were transferred to my new account from my old. I have called four times to get this fixed, being told that the charges would be taken off because of the fraud. 
TODAY, I get on the account again, and I read on the fraud charges that the dispute has been resolved and I am responsible for the charges. I called AGAIN stating that this was FRAUD from XX/XX/XXXX and why am I responsible. I told their fraud department that there were TWO charges for a supermarket and one was taken off, but not the other. 
They still have not taken the charges of my card, even though I received my new cards today. BOTH of my old credit card physical cards were in our home in upstate NY when these fraudulent charges on the XXXX XXXX happened. I seem to be running in circles with this bank on getting these fraud charges reversed, even though they claim 100 % fraud protection liability. 
Thank You XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Transunion, XXXX, & XXXX continue to report the account listed as XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX incorrectly. They are reporting the account as charged off when thats not correct. Each consumer agency stated they verified the information but provided no proof that they did verify it : since we could not come to terms with this information I initiated arbitration and this is notice they the filing fee needs to be paid and turn over any evidence that proves that this account is indeed charged off and a collection. I know it can not since the negotiable instrument used during this transaction is a security being traded in the primary and secondary markets. Furthermore the bank never loans money but processes securities. The consumer agency is also in cohorts with the creditors because they sell consumer information for a profit and by their own SEC filings it states the report are securitized this is why they refuse to remove the information even though they know its incorrect because I can not have a collection for an account that is also raising capital.

Company: Keith D. Weiner & Associates Co., L.P.A.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Keith Weiner & Associates allegedly obtained a judgement against me for municipal taxes when I lived in XXXX, Ohio. I was never made aware of any lawsuit having been filed, or court dates requiring that I appear to defend myself against their claim. Since then, they have garnished my earnings to the amount in excess of {$6500.00} to pay the judgement of {$3000.00} issues against me without my knowledge. I looked into this further, and a quick public record search shows that their only attempt was mailing a standard usps letter to MY PARENTS ADDRESS in XXXX where I did not live. No further attempts were made to notify me of anything. Just recently ( within the last week ) I received a letter from this sham law firm that the judgement was released after 7 years. That was followed up today with another letter from these people demanding g that I pay them another $ XXXX or face additional wage garnishment for taxes assessed for a year that I didnt even live in XXXX except for a small part of XXXX. Additionally, the letter received today includes a veiled threat targeted at my job/livlihood stating that failing to pay them could result in my employer terminating my employment. This is unacceptable and illegal, and I will not tolerate anymore from these con artists who have already robbed me of almost {$7000.00} to pay a judgement of half that amount that I was never legally notified of in the first place.

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

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to follow up my previous dispute about the balance on my account related to the repossession of my vehicle. 

My vehicle was repossessed by XXXX XXXX and subsequently sold at auction. Despite this, the balance on my account remains unchanged, reflecting the original amount owed for the vehicle prior to its sale. I have not received any communication regarding the proceeds from the auction or any adjustment to the account balance to reflect these proceeds. 

I believe there has been an oversight or error in processing the proceeds from the auction sale. According to my understanding, the auction sale proceeds should be deducted from the total balance owed, and any remaining balance should be communicated to me clearly.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax froze my credit report without my permission and as a result I have had to deal with a nightmare domino effect while I am traveling overseas. I cant log in to the website and when I call, the questions asked to verify my identity leave out pertinent info so I am unable to answer them. For example, XXXX question starts with the above referenced account and then asks about the account. But doesnt tell me what account they are asking about? There is no above on a phone call! Its as if the questions were pulled verbatim from the website. Again, the website doesnt let me log in. Tells me to call. And the phone wont put me through to a human. This is happening to a lot of people, Ive seen this problem all over the blogs. Why is nothing being done?? They are holding our credit reports XXXX and there is nothing we can do about it.
