Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX : I contacted Experian to complain about the status of my credit card in my credit report, it read closed on my report with last activity XX/XX/XXXX. It impacted my request for credit in XX/XX/XXXX from a mortgage lender ; I was offered a lower tier rate because of the absence of a revolving facility and low score. The dispute was marked resolved after my request and status of my credit card updated. 

XX/XX/XXXX : I applied for a personal loan with XXXX XXXX and was denied. I have attached the notice of adverse action. The reason for denial was absence of revolving credit. I pulled my score and report from Experian and it shows my credit card account as closed and not included in scoring, same issue from XX/XX/XXXX that was supposedly resolved. I've attached the report and score. 

This issue has caused me significant harm. I'm paying more for my mortgage and was just denied access to credit because of this.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I recently pulled my credit and seen this company Midland Credit Management on my credit with multiple accounts owed, so I originally disputed on my credit report I believe it was XX/XX/2022 that I did not receive any paper work that I owed a debt, or proof of debt oe right to dispute and I requested that they send that to me so I can see what this debt was an validate it. I asked for proof of the debt, they responded debt was mine and closed the dispute never providing any details or information. So I contacted the company via their website which I did take copies of our chat session which I was told I had 5 accounts he listed off the accounts and then said we are sending these to an attorney if you do not make payment or come to some resolution. I said I want proof that this is my debt I never received anything and it recently came to light that possible fraud had been committed on my credit in my name and that I never got any letters after asking multiple times to prove this was my debt and I was never given the opportunity to fight this. He said letters were sent originally, but I never received letters so I said I need proof then that you sent the letters or resend me the proof so I can see if this is mine or file fraud and he said contact the consumer credit agency department and if its fraud I can provide them proof and told me what to send otherwise its going to court. How can I not be provided proof of debt when asking multiple times I can't even say of this is my debt so I believe it is NO I don't, but how can I confirm if no one will help me and all they do is make threats and tell me to pay. And why has no one called me why don't i get anything in the mail just makes no sense and I do not beleive this is my debt but no one will provide me proof.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have been a cardholder of Elan 's XXXX branded card for several years. I was hours late ( as in close to midnight on the due date, meaning the payment would credit the next day ) making my monthly payment. I paid over the minimum and immediately messaged customer service, apologized for my oversight, and requested to have the fee reversed. 

I received a note back from customer service that they had reviewed my account, declined the fee reversal, and they recommended I enroll in autopay to avoid this happening again. 

It is incredibly demeaning and condescending to copy-and-paste a paragraph about autopay to a customer. I had never been late making a payment in years with the card. I messaged back and said " If you do not remove this fee, I will close my account. '' Without my consent, my account was closed! While reviewing the details, I noticed that Elan had raised my interest rate without informing me, maintained the late fee, and by closing my account, prevented me from accruing or redeeming XXXX rewards points ( Elan requires their redemption in XXXX increments ).
