Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Information is not mine
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
I had a checking account and a savings account at metro credit union. XXXX XXXX XXXX is a member only bank. Not just anyone can open up an account the only way to do so is to add my ex boyfriend to My ex boyfriend to my savings account only so he would be able to open a checking account of his own. XXXX XXXX stated that he could open one and be a member if he was put on my savings. So thats exactly what we did. They never once mentioned that I would be responsible for any negativity on his accounts or loans. Eventually I wasnt with this exboyfriend anymore. I have an account from XXXX XXXX XXXX reported on my Experian credit report for {$2500.00}. I have no idea what this is or what it was for. It does have my account listed however. I have never recieved a bill for this. The credit report says its an installement loan. At that time I had direct deposit into my checking account. The bank however did tell me that I was unable to remove him off of my account because he had a negative balance on his checking account and even though he was on my savings that meant he was on my checking account as well even though he wasnt suppose to have his name on my checking account. The bank was going to take my money from me even if he had a loan that I had nothing to do with or even if he had a negative balance in his account all because he was on my savings account. I have no memory of this loan I have never seen paperwork with my signature saying i authorize this loan or that I would be responsible for this loan or even his loans. We were never married. I was not on his personal checking or savings account. This balance doesnt belong to me. I have tried to dispute it but I dont feel they actually did a investigation because if they did this item wouldnt be on my report right now. the amount is {$2500.00} and it says the account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX according to my experian credit report.

I am XXXX years old. I have bought XXXX houses, numerous auto 's, have had several credit cards and several bank loans. I have also purchased for and paid for several acres of raw land. All of these transactions are fully paid for. I now have no credit score and very little information in my credit file. What has happened to all of this information? I would like for all of the pertinent information put back into my credit file. The lack of this information is affecting my ability to use credit. There should be NO adverse information in my file as I have had fewer than XXXX late fee charges since 1963.

Complaint narrative:
I called a bank to get information about rates and policies after an offer was accepted on a home that my wife and I were looking at. I liked the rates and costs that were presented to me by the loan officer, but however I was not ready to commit because my home inspection had not yet taken place. The loan officer then offered to get the loan process started and get my rate locked in with the condition that I would be able to cancel without charge if something turned up in the inspection. I agreed and got the process started. The condition that I would not be charged a fee if I canceled due to inspection issues was repeated to me on a recorded line. 

Our inspection took place a few days later and it turned up major issues such as a bad roof on the house and detached garage, high radon levels, old galvanized plumbing, water damage, and possible foundation issues. After a few days of negotiating with the sellers, we walked away from the deal because we were not able to come to a resolution. I called the bank to cancel the loan. I spoke with the loan officer about the need to cancel. He said to email him the inspection report and that everything will be taken care of. He also said that we should call him back when we found another home. I emailed the report as he requested and thought everything would be cleared up. 

A week later I saw a {$450.00} charge on my credit card by the bank. I called the loan officer back and he said he would escalate the issue to management. I emailed him another copy of the inspection as he requested and waited for the charge to be refunded. However, after 10 days no refund showed up. I called the loan officer back and left a voicemail. After a couple days of no response, I called the bank 's general number and requested to be transferred to a manager. I was finally able to speak to a manager who said he would look into things and would try to get the charge removed. He also stated that he would call me back the next day. However, I did not hear back from him, and still have not heard from him at all 1 week later. 

I called the loan officer again after not hearing from the manager. I managed to reach the loan officer. He said he thought it was taken care of and was surprised that the charge was n't cleared up. He said he would have his manager call me back within the hour. No one ever called. 

I emailed my loan officer again today with no response. So I am now filing a complaint to get this issue resolved.

Complaint narrative:
I have sent the attached letter and attachments to each of the credit bureaus, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX, original counsel for XXXX and the law firm that sent me the copy of the Release of Deed of Trust. My letter explains my issue which is the outstanding balance for a short sale that occurred and was closed in 2010 still remaining on my credit report. I have recently been turned down for a loan due to this remaining balance appearing on my credit report. I spoke to one of the credit bureaus and they said I had to contact the lender because they only report what they have been given by the lenders. I am now working with another lender to approve a construction loan for me and they have indicated that I may need to get an attorney. I would prefer not to incur this cost or time delay and therefor I am filing this complaint.

Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score — Problem getting my free annual report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
For the past 3 days, I have been trying to obtain my free credit report from Experian, via the " annualcreditreport '' website. Each time, I answer the preliminary questions ( name, SSN, etc ) and get to the XXXX screen ( specify which report you want ). I request only the report from Experian. At that point, the request fails. I get a message from my web browser ( XXXX ), stating that it can not validate the security certificate for annualcreditreport.experian.com. When I tell the browser to continue anyway, I get a message from Experian, saying that my request can not be processed at this time, try again later. In previous years, I have been able to request the free credit report from Experian and the other XXXX companies, via the annualcreditreport.com website. I suspect that Experian is causing this problem deliberately, to prevent people from obtaining a free credit report from Experian. Furthermore, there is no way to contact Experian via email to report the problem. I request assistance from CFPB to obtain this report, and that CFPB take action against Experian.

Complaint narrative:
very " simple '' situation. XXXX XXXX refused to change mailing address, kept sending it to old address, in spite of notification of COA by mail, telephone & online. So then, since they could not get the statement to me, I closed acct. that took weeks, instead of a few minutes.. the " late '' charges are because they would not get the billing statement to the current/correct mailing address. 
I think the problem lies not in billing /accounting, but in customer service procedures. We still shop there, as they are handy. The problem is not with local stores, but headquarters.

Complaint narrative:
Credit Management Ltd has filed negative information with XXXX three times in the past three months for the same debt with XXXX XXXX. First, the name on the debt is not the same as anyone who lives here. While it is similar to my wife 's name, it is not the same name. Second, we have never been customers of XXXX XXXX. We do not live in a XXXX XXXX area. None of the false addresses registered with XXXX are the same as ours. We have lived at our current address for 32 years and do not have another address. We have never received a monthly bill from XXXX XXXX. We have never used XXXX XXXX service. This debt is not ours. We will not pay it. XXXX keeps going from one debt collection agency to another trying to collect on a debt we do not owe. While XXXX is the victim of someone else 's fraud, that does not make us responsible for the debt. We do not owe the debt. We will not pay the debt. Credit Management must cease and desist their repetitive claims to XXXX on a monthly basis for a debt we do not owe. They 're playing a game to extort money. They file the claim each month, we dispute it each month. XXXX removes the claim each month. Credit Management needs to stop wasting XXXX 's time and stop harrassing us. There is no XXXX XXXX at our address. Never has been. They need to locate the real person who ran up the debt and approach them for payment and leave us alone. 

This claim has already been disputed and Credit Management removed the claim and the false name before. They must do the same again and cease and desist from all further claims in this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complaint stating that the Public Record Information was inaccurate in its filing. As the term " Dismissed '' means that it is adjudicated by the law. My case concern no form of solvency, nothing was placed under conservancy, examinership, liquidation or provisional debt reconstruction. There were no exemptions, no surrender of any kind as stated within the regulations of the BAPCPA " Means Test ''. The credit bureaus have retrieve my information from a third party entity without my authorization, therefore holding my identity and credit under " XXXX XXXX '' for 10 years. The Bankruptcy Court has confirmed that they did not verify by documentation and the credit agencies have stated I can no longer challenge this negative entry. This discrepancy has prevented me in my personal life 's pursuit. Please advocate for me in this challenge.
