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

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) is all about making sure credit reporting is fair and accurate. When there are violations under the FCRA, it messes up the banking system, which relies on accurate credit reports. Unfair credit reporting can also shake people 's trust in the system. So, if any of my accounts get reported without my permission, that's basically identity theft, and it's a breach of my privacy since I should have control over what's listed. Luckily, there are laws like 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 that protect me. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for accounts listed without my expressed written consent. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On or around the last week of XX/XX/2023, my wallet and cell phone were stolen. I promptly reported my stolen debit card to Wells Fargo. I learned from the customer service representative there were multiple unauthorized ATM withdraws. The total amount of the unauthorized transactions was {$2300.00} plus out-of-network ATM fee ( s ). Wells Fargos investigation took longer than ten ( 10 ) business days and I never received provisional credit. I had to call Wells Fargo after 10 business days to learn my claim was denied because of two-factor authentication from my phone. I told the agent my phone was stolen and the agent said theyll conduct a second investigation and review the phone issue. Wells Fargo failed to conduct a reasonable investigation within 10 business days. Wells Fargo should have either completed a reasonable investigation within 10 days or provide provisional credit. Wells Fargo failed to do both. If the perpetrator ( s ) used an ATM, then the camera would show the suspect ( s ). I never had any authorized users. I dont have a joint account. I never gave anyone permission to use my debit card. I am desirous of prosecution. Wells Fargo is in violation of, among other things, Regulation E and the Electronic Fund Transfer Act. According to my attorney, I am not responsible for unauthorized transactions. Moreover, I have no history of using out-of-network ATMs and the unauthorized transactions occurred outside of my geographical location. Its clearly unusual activity. Being the victim of a crime and losing my money has been detrimental as I have medical bills due that I am unable to pay, and as a result, Im unable to get the medical care I need.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Foreclosure
Company: Lima One Capital, LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I contacted the mortgage company to arrange payment arrangements for my mortgage payment that was due on XX/XX/2023. I was told by the lender, Lima One, that I could not make the payment because the loan was sent to a lawyer on XX/XX/2023 ( 3 days before my request ). I was told by Lima One that I had to contact the lawyer for a reinstatement quote. My mortgage payment was due for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$660.00} per month. I immediately contacted the lawyer hired by Lima One to request a reinstatement quote for which they told me would take up to 7 days to send to me because they had to get the amounts from the lender. The lawyer provided me a reinstatement quote on XX/XX/2023 of {$10000.00} to save my property. 

I sent emails questioning how they arrived at an amount of over 5 times the amount I was expecting to pay. The lawyer just gave a broad explanation of fees but no explanation on how they arrived at the numbers. Lima One refused to talk to me to explain anything. 

I requested another reinstatement quote on XX/XX/2023 as I was preparing to just pay the money because I did not want to lose the property. I requested the quote on that day because as I was previously told, it takes time to get the quote from the lender and the quote is only good for one week. The lawyer sent another reinstatement quote on the very next day, XX/XX/2023 and the quote for {$12000.00}, was only good for one week but my funds was not getting deposited until XX/XX/2023. Again, I questioned the fees and how they were being calculated. The lawyer did not explain how the interest or the fees are being calculated. 

On XX/XX/2023, I requested another quote so I could pay since the funds were secured in my account. I called the lawyer every other day trying to get a quote so I could pay and to avoid any further action. The lawyer informed me that they were still preparing the quote but in the process, they filed court documents to sell the house. The lawyer did not send the quote until XX/XX/2023 in the amount of {$17000.00}. 

When I spoke with a lawyer, they said the fees seemed very excessive. I am so confused, if the goal is to help save the house, it seems as if the lender and the lawyer is doing everything to make it impossible for me to pay. The amount of the delinquency just for the mortgage payment is only {$4700.00}. Can you please help??
