Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I am attempting to correct my credit report with XXXX, Experian, and XXXX. On my XXXX credit report states it states that I have an account with XXXX. I contacted XXXX to let them know that I do not have an account with XXXX because the account was transferred to XXXX. I disputed this claim and the during XXXX 's " investigation '', XXXX claimed that I do have an account with the company. In addition, it updated the account to say that I am past due. I am not past due on my student loans ; however, my payments are made to XXXX, not XXXX. I am attempting to buy a house and I can not have any past due student loans comments on my credit report. Furthermore, I am making my student loan payments so the information is incorrect. I called XXXX to get my account information and the representative again confirmed that my account was transferred to XXXX. Nevertheless, XXXX continues to report that I have an account with it and that payment is past due. This is negatively impacting my ability to qualify for a home. I provided XXXX with copies of the letter from XXXX and proof of payment, yet the company refuses to remove the information from my credit report. I also contacted XXXX to request the complete loan history from initial disbursement and transfers. I have not received this information. This information is critical to me correctly calculating my student loan payments. I personally believe the calculations are incorrect, yet I can not receive the documents from the initial XXXX  XXXX disbursement. I want the full loan history including the transfer information between lenders. 

I filed a report with CFPB informing it of XXXX 's actions. XXXX acknowledged that my loan was transferred with CFPB, but refuses to acknowledge this same information with the credit reporting agencies. In addition, when I reported this error XXXX lied and stated that the negative statement was added before the loan was transferred. This is a lie. The negative credit remark was added on my account in late XX/XX/XXXX after the account was closed. As I previously stated, I timely made my XXXX bills. When my account was transferred, I begin making payments to XXXX. I want my credit report corrected.

Equifax, 1. **Unauthorized Access** : A person or entity obtains a consumer report without a permissible purpose as defined by the FCRA. This includes accessing reports for reasons such as employment screening, credit underwriting, or rental applications without the consumer 's consent.

2. **Failure to Notify If a negative action is taken against a consumer based on information in their credit report ( e.g., denial of credit ), the entity must notify the consumer and provide them with the name of the credit reporting agency that supplied the report.

3.Inaccurate Reporting If a consumer report contains inaccurate information and the consumer disputes it, the reporting agency must investigate the claim. Failing to correct inaccuracies can be a violation.

5.Failure to Provide Required Disclosures** : Entities that use consumer reports must provide consumers with certain disclosures, including their rights under the FCRA. Not providing these can lead to violations.


6.Using Consumer Reports for Unlawful Purposes** : Using consumer reports for purposes not allowed under the FCRA, such as for marketing or other non-permissible purposes, can also constitute a violation.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> we issued a check of {$XXXX} to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX office. The check was apparently stolen or misappropriated by someone who endorsed the check and deposited the check into their account. 

The money was withdrawn from our Wells Fargo bank account and a review of our bank statement didnt alert us to any possible fraud issue or problem as the check was written for our property taxes. 

Recently, XXXX XXXX assessor indicated that we never paid our property taxes and when we investigated the check endorsement it was apparent that the check was stolen and endorsed by someone else named XXXX XXXX ( sp ). 

First of all, XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX does not endorse checks by personal signature. Moreover, bank statements do not show check endorsements to verify who deposited the check. 

We do take ordinary care in reviewing our statements but the bank statements would not lead anyone to believe that there was something amiss. 

This check was not properly payable to XXXX XXXX and yet the bank honored the forged endorsement of a governmental agency and now refuses to credit our account for the fraud. 

There should be no comparative fault in this situation as the only mistakes were made by the bank. 

We ask that the CFPB intervene and remind Wells Fargo of the Rules and instruct them to reimburse us for their mistakes. 

We all know XXXX XXXX reputation and history as it relates to honoring their obligations and following the law. They have quite of history, as you knew. 


Thank you.
