Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, Please be advised that I have received your computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 
You were advised by me on XXXX XXXX by certified mail ( copy enclosed ) that I questioned the accuracy of a few items on my credit reports. That request was written by me and mailed by me- not a third party agency. It appears obvious to me that you are abusing your power under the FCRA to escape a complete investigation. 
Here again is the incorrect information being reported : XXXX XXXX XXXX {$0.00} Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. 
I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. 
I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this letter dated XXXX XXXX is formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not 30 more. 
I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.

Complaint narrative:
This is regarding BNY Mellon who holds Medicare XXXX XXXX funds for XXXX XXXX XXXX and issues monthly refund checks. The bank has made changing a mailing address extraordinarily difficult. I spoke with two representatives who told me that I could not change a mailing address unless I opened an online account, however, at the same phone number, XXXX, there is a recorded option that gives instruction for changing an address by mail. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a letter with all the included items listed on the recording to the exact address on the recording from the post office at zip code XXXX. The address change has not been made. I have tried to follow up on this address change, and called the phone number above today, XX/XX/XXXX. I chose option XXXX to speak to an agent and was hung up on. 

This is not the first terrible experience with this bank and changing of address and changing from mailed checks to direct deposit. All I ask is that my mailing address be changed as per the letter sent on XX/XX/XXXX and that a confirmation of this address change be sent to me promptly. I am moving and do not want anyone else receiving my banking information at BNY Mellon.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Noted when checking online my checking account credit rating went down 1 point and that it was showing an alert. After checking the alert I found that someone had inquired on my credit rating to Well Fargo. I have not opened any new accounts or applied for any loans. I called Wells Fargo today and found out that a credit card had been issued by Wells Fargo for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in my name on XX/XX/2022. There is already a balance of over {$2400.00}. I did not take out this credit card nor have I ever purchased any products from this company which I was informed was in Wisconsin. They also told be that this credit card was applied for on line. 
I do not want this to ruin my credit and be reported for being delinquent while this is being resolved. Also Wells Fargo said it may take up to 90 days to research this. Really! 90 days? In my opinion Wells Fargo is very sloppy in their business practices.
