Consumer complaint received 2023-10-31 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Despite repeated requests, Experian Credit Bureau has failed to follow through with my dispute regarding unlawful inquiries and reports that fall under the Fair Credit Report Act, FCRA. Specifically, on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I received an alert indicating that XXXX XXXX XXXX in Arizona had obtained a new hard inquiry on my credit report without my permission or knowledge. Despite informing Experian Credit Bureau of this unlawful inquiry, they were unable to assist me and directed me to handle the matter with XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

It is worth mentioning that XXXX XXXX XXXX procured a Credit Report copy under an incorrect name, and the Experian Credit Bureau was duly informed of the error. 

Furthermore, on or about XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, I discovered that three accounts on my credit report, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, were showing as 30 days delinquent despite being closed several years prior. After requesting an investigation into the matter and being informed that the accounts were verified as accurate, I contacted Experian Credit Bureau again on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite being told that the results of my dispute could take up to 30 days, I received a response within 48 hours stating that the information I disputed had been verified as accurate.

The notion of an account ( s ) being 30 days delinquent despite being closed for several years is mathematically inexplicable and defies rational explanation. 

It is unclear why Experian Credit Bureau is unwilling to remove these unlawful inquiries and reports from my credit report, despite my repeated requests and evidence to the contrary.

Complaint narrative:
Capital One offered a {$350.00} new account bonus ( Promo code XXXX ) when certain conditions met ( direct deposits, etc. ). 
The prior deadline bonus eligibility for applying/opening an account was shortened to XX/XX/XXXX 
I applied and finished everything at XXXX PDT XXXX, but was told they need to process a few more things before opening. 
Received an email XXXX PDT saying " The application you submitted for a new Capital One 360 account, which was in a pending state for review, has been cleared. This means you can now proceed with your application. '' Saw this email about XXXX same day. 
Proceeded with application, which was regarding account funding ; prior to submitting I noticed that it said " The promotion code has expired ''. 
I immediately called customer service ( XXXX PDT ) and spoke with Nat XXXX After verifications were done, he said to go ahead and submit the funding and that Capital One could fix the timing issue regarding the {$350.00} bonus. I followed his instructions, opened the account, but it came back again saying " promo code expired ''. 
XXXX put me on hold XXXX PDT to call specialists, he came back XXXX PDT to say sorry they can't apply the promo code as application not finished until today ( after expiration ). 

I was misled by agents at Capital One, it's not my fault they couldn't finish the application in time. I definitely started the application and performed all necessary tasks in order to open the account prior to the bonus expiration deadline.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I ordered a copy of my credit report and discovered that there were items listed in my consumer report that aren't allowed by law and need them removed immediately. According to the FCRA the banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. The rules of construction exclude any report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. Therefore, late payments shouldnt be included in the report as stated in sub section 603 ( b ) ( 3 ). I need these transactions removed from my consumer report because I never provided written permission for the consumer report to be furnished in the first place and under the FCRA subsection 604 ( permissible purposes of consumer reports ) ( a ) ( 2 ) my rights have been violated.

Company: KEYCORP
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I just opened a new account with KeyBank XX/XX/XXXX and deposited a big chunk of money into my account mostly for my savings account. I then rarely used my card only small transactions or paying off bills. 2 weeks into me having my account on XX/XX/23 there was an unauthorized transaction from XXXX for {$100.00}, then XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX for {$500.00}, {$5.00}, on XX/XX/23. Then another unauthorized transaction on XXXX for {$300.00} on XX/XX/23, and 3 other charges on XX/XX/23 from XXXX for {$100.00}, {$500.00}, and {$1000.00}. This dispute amount was for a total of {$2500.00}. I looked up the merchants for these transactions, XXXX XXXX XXXX are sketchy websites used to buy crypto which are scammers main targets to get away with these types of things. XXXX XXXX is a casino that is far away from where I live. Maybe XXXX miles. I filed a dispute on XX/XX/23 after checking my balance and seeing it was low, I dont check it often because I didnt use it much and I only had the account for two weeks and realized my card was missing the same time I noticed the funds missing. I went to lock my card and when I tried it said " A technical delay is preventing us from locking/unlocking your card, try again later ''. This was there fault for not locking my card and I have proof with time stamps of them not allowing me to lock my card. They took 20 days conviently when they were supposed to give me credits for the dispute to solve the case. They said recent card activity made us realize this was an authorized charge. That was the only reason they gave.

Complaint narrative:
Good Afternoon to whom this may concern I still have questions regarding my account. I was unaware of the status of my account until it showed up on my credit report as of the end of XXXX. I have spoken with several representatives and sent emails regarding these issues. I was told that Navient does not report good standing to the credit agency and that my status would be that way for the next 10 years. That is why I disputed with the agencies. I guess I was misses informed by my lawyer because I was told that this account was included in my bankruptcy and that they could be discharged because federal loans can be included in a person 's bankruptcy if the Judge agrees. I also was informed that Navient is not a federal agency so that's why my loans became due, but then I'm told that these are federal loans. If these are federal backed loans or federal loans, repayment did not go into effect for federal loans until XXXX so why was I hit with late payments? It also comes at a time when I'm trying to secure housing for myself and children, and everyone knows they use your credit score. ; due to these repeated past due charges I can not find housing. This is very devastating to myself and my family. I'm XXXX yrs old and to have to go live with a parent in a XXXX apartment with XXXX kids is totally embarrassing. In the past I have never been late with any of my student loans, and I feel this is very unjust. Navient has not reported anything to the credit agency regarding these student loans for years, then all of a sudden late and dropped my credit score XXXX points crushing my dreams and belief in the federal systems. Last question : How is it that if this is not a federal loan Navient can use the federal IDR for these loans. This all is not fair, and it is ruining my life. I've been told that Navient could remove the late payment status with a Goodwill letter. Is this possible in my case I have completed all forms needed for IDR and also looking to consolidate these loans, so this confusion doesn't happen again. Navient does not tell the truth 1 rep says these are not federal loans the next rep says these are federal so why doesn't the federal law apply.
