Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I have attempted many times to request all credit reporting companies remove an old/inaccurate debt from my credit and all agencies have denied this. I started college at XXXX XXXX in XXXX. I applied for a private student loan with a family member in XXXX from XXXX Bank ( 2 of them ). I got a private student loan, and I graduated in XXXX. I was never billed for this account, I never applied for any deferment, I included both accounts in my XXXX XXXX bankruptcy and indicated that they were private student loans, not federal student loans, and my grandfather passed away in XXXX ( co-signer ). My XXXX XXXX bankruptcy was discharged in XXXX as indicated in my credit reports. I was granted a full discharge of all requested debts. I notified the credit agencies, and these accounts initially disappeared then reappeared. I was denied the right to have it removed. I sent my discharge to all creditors, including this company. Still, they refused to remove the debt. The debts clearly indicate they were opened in XXXX, but falsely indicate they were " charged off '' in XXXX and XXXX. No attempts were ever made to collect on these debts and no payments were made given it was discharged. According to WA and OR law, all debts including private student loans ( written contracts ) are outside of the statute of limitations after 6 years. Furthermore, at the time I resided in Missouri when these loans were disbursed and their statute of limitations on " promissory notes '' as used in the case of these loans is 3 years. 6 years past XXXX when the initial debt was created is XXXX, 6 years past when I graduated is XXXX, 3 years past when I made the debt is XXXX, and when I graduated XXXX. It is now XXXX, which is 8-12 years past when these loans originated and when they were due. Keeping these debts on my credit is against the statutes in each of these states and they indicate false information.

State: AR

Complaint narrative:
XXXX, XXXX and Cedars Business Service has been sent letters and called numerous times about fraudulent activity that has been listed on my credit report. I have asked for verification paperwork and they will sometimes send stuff and sometimes it's limited.Also they sent paperwork once but could not produce a signature or video or anything to show that I started the accounts. 

The US Government was involved in a big case about my information and a few other people who information was stolen. It included our social security cards, drivers license etc. I even had money come up not going into my accounts due to the fraud situations. They was shopping and everything with my work check. I submitted information to the creditors but they still never investigated the incidents but instead stated it was verified. 

They keep asking for affidavits but if the federal government wasn't able to find the people involved why would I keep doing this. They have violated rules and regulations thereunder, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., and the rules and regulations thereunder, Arkansas General Business Law because they state checks was deposited into my checking account. They are improperly holding me liable for the fraud on an account; failing to delete inaccurate, derogatory information from credit reporting legal obligations and negative reporting. 

I was forced to relocate across the country and was effectively forced out of the mainstream banking system. Because defendants like this and XXXX violated the FCRA and the rules and regulations thereunder, the Arkansas Fair Credit Reporting Act ( Arkansas General Business Law ) ( AR FCRA ), and state common law, by failing to properly reinvestigate my disputes of inaccurate, derogatory information on my report and by misreporting and failing to delete inaccurate information on my report, thus damaging my ability to open a bank account etc.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I was subject to fraud when I received a text message that was very similar to previous fraud alert texts from Wells Fargo, stating that someone was trying to XXXX {$3500.00} from my account and asking if it was me. I called the phone number provided and the scammer said everything the same way a Wells Fargo customer service representative would have ( I would know as my debit card was compromised and needed to be cancelled and I was sent a new one a few weeks prior to this ). 
The scammer was able to obtain my information well enough to process a XXXX transaction of {$3500.00} to be withdrawn from my personal checking account. It was not until the call dropped and I tried to call back without success that I realized I had been scammed. 
I then immediately called Wells Fargo and presented to the nearest branch to discuss the issue. The XXXX withdraw was already processed and the {$3500.00} was removed from my account. I was given a investigation claim number, and was told my account needed to be closed and that I would need to reopen a new one, which I did. I was then told it would take 7-10 business days for me to hear a decision from their investigation. 
I received a letter in the mail dated from XX/XX/2023. This letter was sent no more than 2 business days after my claim was filed ( XX/XX/XXXX was a bank holiday ). The letter stated that the investigation was complete, " the transaction was made through a secure online banking session by you or someone who had your authority and no other processing errors occurred. Based on this information, we determined the transaction was authorized. We have closed your claim ''. 
This transaction was NOT authorized, and the company did not even have the decency to open up the conversation further or offer a way to appeal their decision. I know other companies such as XXXX will assess the IP address the " secure online banking session '' occurred from in order to investigate whether it is even anywhere near me, I doubt they did this. 
I have been a customer of Wells Fargo and XXXX for many years. I am now in further debt thanks to their unwillingness to help. I am a small business owner and can not afford events like this. There is a statement made by the CFPB that states if a consumer is fraudulently induced by a third party into sharing account access information that the consumer should receive the same protections as if the money were acquired from a stolen debit card or other banking access device, but apparently Wells Fargo and XXXX do not see it this way.
