Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The exact same SYNCB/WALMART account on my XXXX Credit Report is reporting twice. As I explained to XXXX, these two accounts are the same exact account. The second account was created when my credit card was stolen and SYNCB/WALMART issued a new account number to prevent fraud. One of these accounts shows a payment status of 'unknown '. As such, the account should have been deleted on that basis alone since XXXX admits it cant verify it. Lastly, my account shows that I was 30-days late when in fact that is not true.

Complaint narrative:
Hi I was cheated by US bank to open reserve lines when I opened a checking and saving account with them, which resulted in a hard pull in credit report. First of all, I was n't notified by the banker by any word regarding a hard pull or credit report change. Secondly, I was n't aware of any word about " reserve line '' rather than overdraft protection. This is ridiculous. I have contacted the credit dispute department of US bank. But their response is disappointing.US bank should take full responsibility for this issue. I just request to cancel the hard pull and reserve Line. However, this simple reasonable request by the customer was ignored by US bank. Could you help me on this? Thanks.

1. XXXX XXXX XXXX 2. XXXX XXXX 3. XXXX XXXX 4. XXXX 5. XXXX XXXX 2 times XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX 6. XXXX 7. XXXX 8. XXXX XXXX XXXX I 've noticed many unknown inquiries surfaced on my credit report while I was out of the country for long period of time. When I got back in to town and checked my emails I 've gotten several alerts from an Equifax monitoring product I purchased & noticed XXXX inquiries. This has literally been the 30th time I 've sent out certified letters that I had to pay out of my own pocket, documents over to the equifax headquarters seeking some help, phone calls and was hung up on by several customer agents in the Consumer Dept both male & female. They we 're very disrespectful. I have been a victim of identity theft in the past. Equifax is aware of the errors of inquiries on my credit report but refuse to do anything about it. Well since they 're not doing their job I 'm going to make sure that I file a lawsuit against Equifax and various companies. I contacted each company but no one respond with no documents, no validation of any signatures, no possible way a verbal verification holds up against The FCRA, I know my rights and it 's been more than a month ago errored inquiries reporting.

Company: Commonwealth Financial Systems, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
In response to closed complaint number XXXX - the name of the debt collector was incorrect in my complaint, not sure how that happened. Again, this {$75.00} is not even the issue, I can pay it just to rid myself of this paid debt, but now it 's gotten personal. I paid this in 2012, we proved it back then, and it reappears every other year, then goes away, but this time it 's not. The name of the debt collector this year is COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL SYSTEMS, it changes frequently. Like I said, I can pay this easily, but now after wasting so many hours trying to get rid of these pennies, I feel they owe me XXXX  dollars or more for my time. I would like to reopen the above case number and file the complaint on the correct debt collection company.
Thank You, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I had two Discover credit cards XXXX and XXXX. About 15 years ago they started charging me for items that I did not buy. I would call them they would clime it was a computer error. The charges were taken off the one card ONLY to be placed on the other card! I would call them now it was hackers. The charges were finely taken off BUT not the over draft and late fees and the charges rate went up! I quite use both cards.
Next the started transferring money from one card to the other, charging me transfer fees, late fees, over draft fees ...! When I complain about this they would tell me pay or we take you to court.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have contacted Equifax several times to have unauthorized inquiries removed, yet they will not remove them. There is no documentation that I authorized these transactions and I even have a fraud alert on my file. It is unfair to have to reach out to companies, with no success, to try to get inquiries removed that I did not authorize to begin with. Also, it is unfair and not good practice to continually deny me, yet when other customers call a rep will remove inquiries for them with no hesitation or valid reason being provided. If the policy is that an inquiry should stay on file for two years, this must be enforced consistently with each client. And that is not the case. At this point, if my issue is not resolved, I would have to escalate to BBB and The State Attorney 's office.
The FCRA states that the only permissible purpose for pulling someones credit is for : A. Firm Offer of Credit B. Insurance C. Employment D. Court Order None of the below inquiries have open/active accounts on my report nor were authorized and I would like them removed ASAP : -XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX -XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX -XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX -XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX -XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX -XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX -XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX -XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX -XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX -XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX -XXXX XX/XX/XXXX -XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX -XXXX XX/XX/XXXX
