Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My Wells Fargo savings account was closed with around XXXX dollars in it. I was calling them but they said they needed my parent, but she was away on a business trip. I tried to explain to them that its under my name and I am of age so I should have access to it. But they refused to assist me even though I explained to them that by the time my mom would get back, the account would be closed and the money, no clue where it is at.

Now Im stuck and they took my money.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have never legally gone by these personal information nor do not currently reside at the listed residence. The inclusion of inaccurate aliases and unrelated or outdated addresses not only violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) which requires credit reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy but also creates a serious risk of identity confusion and impairs my ability to obtain credit under accurate and fair conditions. The presence of such erroneous personal information also raises concerns of data mishandling, especially in light of recent national data breaches. Despite previous attempts to have this information corrected, Bureaus might have failed to remove the incorrect aliases and address entries, even though I have never used these names and do not reside at the listed locations.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Equifax is in blatant, willful noncompliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act by both reinserting a deleted account and continuing to report two unauthorized accounts despite repeated disputes and clear evidence. I first disputed XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) in XX/XX/year>, and it was deleted from my credit file in XX/XX/year> as unverifiable. Yet in XX/XX/year>, Equifax reinserted it without obtaining the legally required certification of accuracy from the furnisher or providing the mandatory written notice within five business days, a direct violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). In addition, XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) have remained on my file despite my XX/XX/year> disputes and the submission of my government-issued ID and utility bill, documentation that substantiates my identity theft claim and triggers the blocking requirements under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2. Equifaxs continued reporting of these accounts suggests they relied solely on a furnishers unverified statement or an automated E-Oscar process, which does not satisfy the reinvestigation requirements of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Equifax has failed to provide the legally required method of verification under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) and 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ), and they are reporting without my written authorization, in direct violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ). Furthermore, the discrepancies in reporting between credit bureaus show Equifax has failed to maintain maximum possible accuracy as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ).

After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late.

It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance.

Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The lease for my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX matured on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  During the lease term, I was never late on any payment. At lease return, Kia Finance America assessed * * \ {$850.00} * * in excess wear and turn-in fees. 

From XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX * *, I engaged in ongoing negotiations with Kia Finance regarding these charges. This process was delayed due to their reliance on a third-party lease-end assessor who was uncooperative. During multiple conversations, Kia Finance representatives * * explicitly assured me that no negative credit reporting would occur while negotiations were in progress * *. This assurance was repeated when I made the final payment on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Despite these assurances, Kia Finance reported my account as * * 30 days late for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This reporting is inaccurate because : 1. The amount was under active dispute, per Kias own representatives.

2. The account was paid before any formal charge-off.

3. Kia issued a * * settlement offer letter on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  for less than I had already paid, showing internal inconsistencies. 

Kia Finance now states it will take * * 30 days * * to investigate because they rely on a third-party vendor, which will cause me significant financial harm as I am in the middle of a mortgage process.

-- - * * Key dates and amounts XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Lease maturity ; no outstanding lease payments. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Kia bills \ {$850.00} in wear and turn-in fees. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Multiple calls with Kia ; repeated verbal assurances no negative credit reporting during negotiations. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Balance reminder sent. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Paid \ {$680.00} as final settlement. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Kia sends settlement letter offering to settle for less than already paid. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX report shows two 30-day late marks ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ). 

Companys wrongdoing : * Reported late payments during an active dispute, contrary to verbal assurances.

* Issued settlement letter after payment was already made in full.

* Relied on a 30-day third-party dispute process despite urgency and clear internal error.

* * Impact on you : * * These false late payment reports have damaged my creditworthiness and are jeopardizing my ability to secure a mortgage. This is causing immediate financial harm and stress despite my full compliance with all lease obligations.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
