Product: Credit reporting — 
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Account status
Company: Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FNIS)
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Now married to my husband, I have XXXX now attempted to simply get added to our joint account so I may be issued a debit card and purchase groceries, etc. My records indicate, as ChexSystems just sent me my requested copy dtd XX/XX/XXXX that queries were made on XX/XX/XXXX and 5XX/XX/XXXX by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The bank indicated XXXX times that a code was returned that they can not override indicating I do not qualify to do business with their bank. The reason provided : the code received back from ChexSystems. 
I then requested the report ChexSystems sent XX/XX/XXXX and it shows the XXXX queries but no other information at all regarding the reason for the code or any cause for me to be denied anything via ChexSystems query. My report shows " no information found '' under the check ordered and reported information sections. If this is indeed the case, reporting to the bank a code that denies me membership is a misreporting of my status and should be corrected as soon as possible. If the report I requested is missing information, then this report should be corrected so I can then find the source of negative reporting and get the situation corrected or disputed properly. 
I therefore request either a corrected report or a correction to the code returned when a bank requests information regarding me using my social security number or name. If possible, I further request an explanation why for the past year I 've been unable to be added to a joint bank account with my husband, yet the report I requested contains no negative reporting associated with my social security number. 
I believe I have a copy of the bank 's " bad code '' report, but I definitely have a copy of my ChexSystems report if needed. 

XXXX XXXX

Company: Professional Finance Company, Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
The original Debt came from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The debt was an error or their part and was not a valid debt. I contacted XXXX regarding this in XXXX of XXXX, they then contacted Professional Finance, which is the collection agency to advise this was not a valid debt, and requested it be revoked and removed form my credit report due to their error- this was not done by Profession finance. 
I pulled an annual credit report in XXXX of XXXX to discover this debt is still showing from this creditor and collection agency as an open account. So not only is it still showing as an open account, it is still showing on my credit report, which it should not be at all. 
I then contacted XXXX again in XXXX XXXX, they in turn contacted Professional Finance and spoke to XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. XXXX advised that she would contact the credit bureaus and have this debt removed. As of today XXXX this debt still shows as an open account on my credit report. Professional Finance has failed to take the appropriate measures to remove this negative information from my credit report after several attempts and requests to do so.

Complaint narrative:
Received a call that left a voice mail message about PFC Number was XXXX XXXX XXXX. In the message they said to look up online aboutPFC.com No indication of who they were looking for, or what the debt was. Checked my credit report and found there is no negative information on it. Also, I have no unpaid debts. 

Does n't sound like a legitimate debt collection agency at all!!!! 

Also I have received no notices for debt collection. Nothing absolutely nothing in writing. 

Made several calls to the number given and always straight to voice mail due to " high call volume '' Seriously? A debt collection agency so busy with people calling in to pay their bills that they ca n't answer the phone? 

This must be a total scam and a fraud. 

This morning I looked up online and there was a local number in the XXXX area code. So I called that and they refused to confirm that they actually knew my name or to tell me what the issue was. I told them to call me back and identify the issue and who they were looking for if they wanted to get it resolved. 

The lady on the phone insisted that I give them personal information over the phone to prove I was the person they were looking for. She said I should call back when I was ready to resolve the issue. Too busy to even call me back? What kind of scam operation is this?

I pay XXXX % interest on XXXX. I knew about this but you do not have an OTHER so I can not tell you what most closely describes the problem. Here is that very problem : I 'm paying 118 % and did in-fact, STOP the auto payments from my bank account. Simple DEAUTHORIZE it. but, the problem is, I do NOT believe the XXXX % FAIR and I wo n't be paying it off until XX/XX/XXXX. 

That 's XXXX and XXXX style loans. The only difference is, you do n't " sleep with the fishes '' or " wear cement shoes ''. 

This is XXXX and they DO NOT help rebuild your credit, they DESTROY your credit, hassle and harass you every month when your loan payment comes due. 

I 'm just now getting on my feet and I BELIEVE that I paid them MORE than enough at $ XXXX a month in INTEREST on {$3000.00} since XX/XX/XXXX. That 's roughly {$6400.00} since XX/XX/XXXX and MORE than XXXX their money. 

I 'm tired of this and I WANT IT TO END. How is this allowed by XXXX XXXX and the Banking XXXX? How??? 

Do you, the FEDERAL Government XXXX this to happen? How???

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I got a phone call from ADP bank services asking about recent transactions on my card, I heard on the recording there was a transaction from an ATM withdrawal, the more I thought about it I was like I have n't been to an ATM recently with that card, when I called to check the balance there was nothing but XXXX dollars left on the card. I called ADP and they told me there was three transactions made on that card that morning at a XXXX bank I had never been to, withdrawing XXXX dollars XXXX times. I was in XXXX XXXX which is a good hour away with the card present in MY POSSESSION. I had the card with me the whole time, and no one else has the pin. I filed a dispute and a police report right away. I had used that card with the PIN a few days earlier at a gas pump, my guess is that the card number and pin were scanned there. I waited 10 days for the company to tell me I 'm not getting my hard-earned money back, the representative told me there was no failed PIN attempts. But yet they did n't inform me about all the failed transactions that person had, until after I asked. I argued that I physically had the card with me and if they could look up the camera they could see it was n't me or my bright red ADP card, he said there WAS NOTHING i could do, and there was no way to appeal, and said I could n't send in my police report.

Complaint narrative:
Citibank is testing my patience and I 'm getting tired of it. 
I applied this checking account ( # XXXX ) by XX/XX/XXXX under the {$400.00} bonus checking promotion and completed all the requirements on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent an online secure message to verify my qualification of this promo. I got an email response ( Letter ID # XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX confirmed that my account has met the necessary requirements to qualify for Promotion XXXX, and I should receive my incentive 90 days from the date of the qualifying transactions. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, since it has already been 90 days but I still have n't see the bonus been posted yet, I 've send another inquiry via the secured message. The Online Client Services rep XXXX XXXX responded that the bonus shall be credited no later than XX/XX/XXXX. But that never happened. On XX/XX/XXXX I send another message regarding the promotion and got a very equivocal response from rep XXXX XXXX XXXX, which makes me started feeling suspicious. 
So I called Citibank on XX/XX/XXXX, the telephone rep XXXX promised me the bonus will be deposit within 2 days, and also provided me a confirmation # XXXX. Once again, that never happened. 
After XXXX messages, XXXX phone calls and nearly a month past the deadline, that 's when I know that all the Citibank reps was just prevaricating me, making up random dates and making me false promises. This is very irresponsible and unprofessional. Citibank is testing my patience and I 'm getting tired of it. They need to stop lying to their customers and started telling the truth.

Complaint narrative:
I went in to make a payment on my account and I noticed that the computer showed that I owed more than I was suppose to. I asked the employee why was it showing that but she had no explaination so she proceeded to get the manager! When the manager looked at my account, at first she could n't figure out why either, so I asked for a copy of my payment history and saw mistakes! I pointed the mistakes out to the manager but she said that I was wrong and started claiming that I missed a payment. When I told her that I had not missed a payment and that she was lying she told me that if I did n't hush she would call the police and have me charged with trespassing and she also threatened to garnish my wages even though I was not behind on my payment. I told her that I was only trying to figure out what was going on about my account and asked her for her head office 's number but she still proceeded to in fact call the police on me and afterwards demand a payment from me! The police came and got a statement from me and after I left I called the supervisor to that office and explained what had happen and when she looked at my account even she admitted something was wrong! The supervisor was suppose to get back with me on the XXXX of XXXX but have not heard anything else from her! My account is getting further behind and I do n't know what to do!
