Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I saw a late payment on my credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX that I do not recognize. According to the FCRA transactions such as payments are not supposed to show on a consumer credit report. I know that this is a billing error and I just would like for it to be corrected. This is reporting correctly on my XXXX, but not reporting correctly on Equifax and XXXX. 

From the picture attached, one can see that XXXX is reporting multiple different account numbers, with incorrect account statuses. 

I demand this be updated to paid as agreed, never late, on time on all 3 credit reporting agencies as this is holding me back from being able to advance in my life.

Company: Marlette Funding, LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
As a service member protected under the Military Lending Act ( MLA ), I should not have more than a 36 % Military Annual Percentage Rate ( MAPR ), including costs like calculating your interest rate and finance charges and other added charges. 

After reviewing my documents, I am sure the interest is more. On the agreement, the interest rate is 22.84 % with a {$1900.00} origination fee. Then on the lending disclosure is has the loan will cost me an XXXX of 27.49 % yearly. 

None of the monthly statements I receive includes an interest rate or XXXX, so I am unsure what is being charged. The statement shows how much interest is being paid. The statement of the XXXX and a clear description of the payment obligation must be provided in writing in a form the covered borrower can keep. 

Also, the consumer has my bank account information stored on their website, which I can not remove. Under MLA, a consumer can not require or use a check, electronic fund transfer, or other methods of access to financial accounts maintained by the covered borrower for repayment. It is prohibited for a creditor to use a borrowers account information to create a remotely created check or remotely created payment order to collect payments on consumer credit from a covered borrower. 

Signed documentation was never processed for this loan and is not in portal documentation.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I brought a cashier check at Wells Fargo located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Fl XXXX on XX/XX/2023 for the amount of XXXX $ pay to a specific company. However the check was cashed on XX/XX/2023. The payee has not received it in their account. I went back to the branch for the copy of the check that has been cashed out. There was no endorsement at the back and I was told you could cash out a check without an endorsement using the app! The banker XXXX XXXX and another XXXX man were laughing regarding my questions about getting my money back since the bank paid to someone who is not the payee on the check. It was not to my awareness that anybody could cash a cashier check without an endorsement even the person is not the payee on the check. It is the bank responsibility to ensure that the fund is deposited only to the person payable to. The person I wanted to pay has confirmed that the check was not received and that it was not in the account and would like to confirm the last 4 account number that the check was deposited to but the bankers said they can not release that information until the claim department takes the case. It would take 10-30 business days. There is something wrong with the way the bank handle business. The cashier check should be the safest way where one can used to make a payment as it is drawn from the banks fund and it should know whether it was deposited to the payee correctly or not. I was told fraud is minimal using cashier check. The bankers asked me why I dont wire transfer or pay other methods instead of using the cashier check. The mistake is on the bank as they allowed the fund to be released even with no endorsement and the bank should be responsible in restoring my money back as they did not pay to the specific person I addressed on the check. If all the banks in US works this way then it is no point to mention on the check whom to payable to as anybody can cash the check using the app. The bank app must have a validation process to ensure that the check is deposited to the correct person. I hope you would look into this issue otherwise it would promote more check fraudulent activities in this country.
