Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

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: DISCOVER BANK

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I requeste a credit balance of XXXX to my XXXXXXXX XXXX  credit card account using my This Discover Bank credit. This transfer was never reflected on my XXXX XXXX credit card account. Therefore, I filed several complaints with both banks. Among these, I contacted Discover Bank on XX/XX/year>. They indicated that XXXXXXXX XXXXk had informed them that they had posted the {$2500.00} transaction on my XXXX statement. This did not happen. They also sent me a copy of the {$2500.00} check that XXXXXXXX XXXX supposedly received. This check is marked " void '' throughout. Furthermore, the account number to which they supposedly sent the transfer is incorrect. On XX/XX/year>, I contacted XXXX XXXX They informed me that, to date, they have not received any transfer in question ( from Discover Bank ) to my account. Additionally, the account number to which Discover Bank sent the money is incorrect. XXXX XXXX XXXXearched their system, and that account does not exist. Therefore, when it is processed, their system rejects the transaction. 
Finally, Discover Bankme has stated on several occasions that the problem is not theirs, and that I am the one who must file a complaint with XXXXXXXX XXXX. For this reason, I have to file this complaint.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
I got a call from XXXX XXXX XXXX  about a debt I owed. They stated it was utility bills that went unpaid.

They had me identify myself and give some information.

Name, address, and last 4 of social security number. I did. 
They said I had an outstanding bill from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I told them I have never had service from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I asked for the address and they did not give it to me. 
I stated I have been in my current house and that I have no other residences since XXXX and have never established a utility account with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 
They told me it was me and that I owed them. Could they set up a payment cycle or they would report me to the Credit Bureau. 
I asked they send me the information so I can try to prove it is not me. 
Never got any information and they reported me to lower my credit. 
When I call XXXX XXXX XXXX about the debt I owed I can never get to the right department, but they will set up payment plans or take credit card information. 
I disputed with XXXX and they did a quick study and said it was me. XXXX  has a record of my identity was stolen in XXXX and i had to work for months to get all that cleared. In this case XXXX  has said the claim is valid ( even though I told them I think it is a stolen identity issue ) and lowered my credit. Now they are sending me promotions to fix my credit. I think this is terrible.

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 youhave 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.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing Wells Fargos claim denial regarding case # XXXX. Wells Fargo stated that I accepted delivery of the merchandise and that photo evidence was never provided by the customer. This is factually incorrect. 

On XX/XX/year>, I placed an order with XXXX XXXX XXXX for an XXXX XXXXXXXX. The company claimed the item was delivered, but I never received it. No package was left at my residence, and XXXX confirmed they have no proof of delivery to my address no photo, no signature, and no GPS confirmation. 

To support my case, I submitted photo evidence showing that the delivery photo provided by the merchant depicts a different house that is not mine. I also submitted a photo of my actual residence to demonstrate the discrepancy. Wells Fargos statement that photo evidence was never provided is false. 

Despite clear evidence that the package was not delivered to my home, Wells Fargo denied both my claim and appeal, leaving me with financial loss and no product. Their refusal to acknowledge the photo evidence and their assertion that I accepted delivery is misleading and inaccurate. 

I am requesting that this matter be reviewed by the CFPB and Attorney Generals office, as Wells Fargo has failed to properly investigate and has closed the case without considering the evidence provided.
