Complaint narrative:
Im honestly stumped. Regardless of how many times I claim to be the individual writing this letter it seems this message is truly missed. For the record, Im the one whos initiating these disputes under MY NAME. The following items are UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming these are fraudulent or of a high risk nature.

Most importantly, Ive never sent my documentation to anyone else which seems to be claim constitutes high-risk due to potential fraud. According to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Certegy Holdings, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter on XX/XX/2022 from XXXX XXXX XXXX in New York referencing a debt owed to Certegy Payment Solutions LLC, Reference number XXXX, Certegy XXXX XXXX XXXX. The letter references a payment made by me to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2022 with a check for {$7.00}. I know this check cleared from the statement I have from my bank. My bank has also provided me with a letter confirming the check and amount cleared. When I explained this to XXXX they referred me to Certegy. When I spoke with the representative at Certegy I was told I had to give them my driver 's license or some other form of government ID. This is personal and private information and I have no way of knowing this company is not perpetrating a fraud. On XX/XX/2022, I sent a certified letter to XXXX letting them know that my bank shows the check had been cashed. Additionally I contacted the XXXX company telephone number on my statement and they confirmed that the check had cleared. It appears to me from the response XXXX gave to the CFPB that they are no longer servicing this account and I should contact Certegy for further information. I contacted Certegy at the number provided by XXXX XXXX and asked them for an address where I could forward all the relevant paperwork including the letter from my bank stating the check they claim is outstanding has actually been paid. Certegy insisted they need my driver 's license but they are not willing to provide a physical address where I can mail all the information I have which clearly shows there is no payment outstanding to XXXX XXXX. Kindly have them provide a legitimate mailing address so I can forward the letter from the bank showing this payment was withdrawn and no debt collection is required by them. There are retail companies that rely on Certegy for clearance when a consumer makes a check payment. Since I write checks for my personal expenses, it affects my ability to shop at certain stores!

I sent a notarized letter to Nationwide Recovery Systems on XX/XX/2022. It was a letter requesting validation of the debt. I called XX/XX/2022 to verify the letter was received, they said it was and insisted that they would send a validation of the debts ( XXXX accounts XXXX and XXXX ). As of XX/XX/2022, there have been no validation of debt correspondence for either accounts. They knew they had 30 days to respond per the letter.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I have been having the worst time with Wells Fargo banking, and because of this I am now in a terrible situation. I reported a fraud claim on my account for XXXX dollars.I checked my account after getting a weird call, I looked at my account and saw XXXX atm withdrawals in XXXX Florida. I live in XXXX XXXX so that was a HUGE red flag. I immediately reported the activity after a long XXXX hour wait and conversation with the banker. It has been XXXX business days now and my claim has been declined. I called right away to see why I was now out of XXXX dollars, they claimed the investigator called 3 times and I did not answer the phoneThat was the deciding factor.That is very unethical considering I work for a living and can not just pick up the phone at any time. I would immediately call back just to get put on a hamster wheel, being told to go to the bank to get codes and reference numbers just to be told they cant help. I have called back multiple times after I received the investigator 's call, everytime my call gets breakin up or they tell me they can't help me.I have had NOTHING to do with this withdrawal, I live in XXXX XXXX California, I would never have withdrawn that amount of money and especially in Florida. That WAS NOT ME!. This has been the WORST EXPERIENCE of my life. XXXX is around the corner not to mention because of this I am now late on multiple payments. Whoever investigated my claim should be FIRED! It is plain as day that I was scammed and I haven't had the justice I deserve. As well as being behind on my rent now. It's known that Wells Fargo has had workers leak their clients information in the past and this is what feels like is going on. There is no way I should lose XXXX DOLLARS based on a withdrawal I DID NOT DO. This is fraud and VERY illegal. Please re-open my case and HELP ME ASAP! I have so many bills to pay and rent that's past due. 

Thank you
