Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
FROM CFPB WEBSITE : You can shop around for a mortgage and it will not hurt your credit Within a 45-day window, multiple credit checks from mortgage lenders are recorded on your credit report as a single inquiry. This is because other creditors realize that you are only going to buy one home. You can shop around and get multiple preapprovals and official Loan Estimates. The impact on your credit is the same no matter how many lenders you consult, as long as the last credit check is within 45 days of the first credit check. Even if a lender needs to check your credit after the 45-day window is over, shopping around is usually still worth it. The impact of an additional inquiry is small, while shopping around for the best deal can save you a lot of money in the long run. Note : the 45-day rule applies only to credit checks from mortgage lenders or brokers ' credit card and other inquiries are processed separately. 

XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX are not honoring the 45 day rule. I shopped around the week of XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/2022 with XXXX different banks. I now have XXXX different inquires and the credit bureaus will not remove the other XXXX, and the worst part about it it lowered my credit rating over XXXX points! 

Please help.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Can't stop withdrawals from your account
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
My complaint is actually about a creditor that I am not associated with. JC Penny card services has allowed payments to be made from my bank account without any verification that the account belonged to the cardholder. Someone is using my bank to make EFT payments to JC Penny. I contacted them and inquired about what information they needed to take the payment and was told only a routing number and account number. I asked if they required any matching address info or anything and was told no, only routing and account number. So someone can lookup the routing number to a bank and guess account numbers until one works? They said yes, I guess so. Why would a creditor accept a payment from a bank account that is literally listed on paper checks, without any matching info to the creditor? This should be illegal. I now have to change my business bank account information, which I use for our credit card deposits and charges, utilities payments and so on. This is a huge burden that could have been avoided if creditors were required to use some form of two factor authentication to verify EFTs. JC Penny is highly unethical for allowing these payments without proper identity verification.

Complaint narrative:
Credit Solutions Corporation has been attempting to contact me regarding a debt that is not owed. I have spoken to two different representatives and told them both that the debt is over 8 years old which twice the length allowed to collect consumer debt in the state of California and past the 7 years allowed federally. I asked them to please stop calling me regarding this matter however a representative calls around once a month still. 

I have just received a letter in the mail from the company attempting to yet again collect the debt that is no longer owed. They have also filed a remark on my credit reporting regarding the debt despite me previously disputing this debt and having it removed from my credit report.

I maintained an ending balance of {$50000.00} or more for more than 90 days. On XX/XX/XXXX I deposited an additional {$20.00} to my account. When the funds became available on XX/XX/XXXX when my balance was {$50000.00} I withdrew {$20.00} to my checking account. I never received my full {$450.00} credit. Capital states this is because the {$20.00} withdrawal came out of the {$50000.00} initial deposit. My ending baled was at {$50000.00} or greater for each of the 90 days of opening the account. Capital one states that the transfer of {$20.00} into my account did not post until XX/XX/XXXX but the funds were made available to my balance on the XXXX.
