State: OR

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo is an awful company. they are making it nearly impossible to fix my problem and if anything, have just made it worse. 
I noticed fraudulent actives going on as far back as XXXX of 2023. I was only able to add ten transactions to my claim and had to call an agent to finish off the rest. Which i thought everything was handled. But after being suspended from my online access I was able to see my claim and how much it was because after calling multiple times no agent would clarify how much the refund or if i would even get one. Well come to find out the Agent had added 30 transactions on top of my already 10 from my first claim. Which 25 out of 30 were not even supposed to be on there and multiple transactions that should be on there are not! After trying to get it fixed with the online agent, I couldn't finish it all with them apparently so had to call again and after waiting for an hour on hold, I finally got to talk to someone and then got hung up on. This is just all so ridiculous and so unprofessional especially from such a big company.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have called, emailed and written to Sam 's Club Card/Sychrony Bank in regard to the fraudulent charges made on my card. These charges were made by a lady by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX. Prior to XXXX XXXX gaining access to my account I have never charged more than {$1000.00} on my Sam 's card as it is designated for grocery purchase only.

Due to identity theft, unauthorized use of two credit cards Sam 's Club Card/Sychrony Bank has decided to ignore my continued calls for them to go after the responsible party. I have even provided them with a police report with XXXX XXXX information. 
I have explained that I am not responsible for charges that I did not make or authorize, but they continue to ignore me.

Prior to this issue, I have been a good customer, never been late, failed to pay or pay short of the required amount. I contacted Sam 's Club Card/Sychrony Bank and asked for them to clear my credit, go after XXXX XXXX, restore my credit limit and reduce my interest rate, but they have refused to do any of what I have asked.

I have explained to them that I am retired, and I am not in financial distress or hardship. I assured them that I am committed to paying any debt I am responsible for, but this account has been infiltrated by another individual and if necessary, they should pursue criminal charges against her.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal dispute regarding a collection account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report. This account, listed under the reference number and amount of {$1000.00}, was reported on XX/XX/year>. I dispute this account on the grounds that I have no contractual agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX, nor has there been any verification of the debt or assignment transfer contract provided that would legally authorize them to collect on this debt. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g, I have the right to request validation of this debt. Despite this right, no validation has been provided, and XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to produce any documentation establishing their legal authority to collect on this alleged debt. Additionally, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, it is unlawful to report inaccurate or unverified information on my credit report. The absence of a signed contract, valid assignment, or verification of this debt confirms that this collection account is both inaccurate and unverifiable. I am also filing this complaint against Equifax for reporting this inaccurate and unverified collection account on my credit report. Equifax has a legal obligation under the FCRA to ensure the accuracy of the information they report. By continuing to report this erroneous account without proper verification, Equifax is in violation of the FCRA. I am requesting the immediate deletion of this account from my credit report by both XXXX XXXX XXXX and Equifax. I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with federal laws. I expect this issue to be resolved promptly and request confirmation that this account has been removed from my credit report.
