Consumer complaint received 2023-03-17 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: Total Card, Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
XXXX - After checking my XXXX XXXX account online I came across a change that was reported by one of my creditors, Total Credit Card by XXXX XXXX XXXX , stating that my credit card account with them was " closed. '' XXXX - I instantly contacted Total Credit Card and spoke to a Supervisor by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX ). She stated that the account was closed on XX/XX/2023 because a credit repair agency reported a " fraudulent application claim '' regarding my account, therefore, they ( Total Credit Card ) decided to close the account. I shared with her that the date I came across was XX/XX/2023, not XX/XX/2023. She didn't respond. Call ended! XXXX - I received a correspondence in the mail, dated XX/XX/2023, from Total Visa Card , stating the completion of their investigation and their decision to close my account due to " my fraud application correspondence '' received. I'm extremely disappointed with this creditor. I have never initiated such, and there's nothing that I've disputed of this magnitude that involves any type of fraudulent application on my behalf. I've not dismissed or disputed ownership to this account. I applied for this credit card account, in hopes to assist in building my credit history and credit score. But, after receiving such a disturbing and disruptive correspondence in the mail, I'm lost for words regarding something that was intended to help me moving forward. XXXX to the present & ongoing - This closed account, which was supposedly reported only to XXXX XXXX not XXXX and XXXX has impacted my credit & credit score negatively. The account balance was being paid down recently, but Total Credit Card is reporting an increase of {$180.00} which also increased the credit utilization by 17 %. And because of this, my credit score instantly dropped a -38 points due to this false reporting. This false reporting has caused me great damage to my credit overnight. It's frustrating to try and get back to normality when all of a sudden, without any notice, my account with Total Credit Card closes and there are mixed signals circulating in all directions, not knowing what's going on. Total Credit Card closed my account behind a reason that I have not initiated or took part in. I have no knowledge of these accusations ( fraud application correspondence ) that were set before me and caused my account to close, and my credit report/credit score to be damaged and affected negatively. ****I have never came across such a callous group of people. It's striking to see how insensitive these people are. They have control issues over your credit and what they're able to do to intentionally destroy you, even with false claims. They will go through any measure of impacting your life, negatively and drastically, if they're given the authority as a creditor, abusing the system.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/23 I sent a dispute to Experian credit reporting. That the account XXXX was intact being reported as inaccurate. The company first reported as inaccurate. Account was sold to a credit collections company who agreed once payment was rendered account would be deleted. Account no longer belonged to XXXX. XXXX now is reporting account on my credit report inaccurately. Experian has failed to provide proof of dispute results and how account information was verified. According to FCRA Once your debt has been sold to a debt purchaser you owe them the money, not the original creditor.The debt purchaser must follow the same rules as your original creditor when they collect the debt, and you keep all the same legal rights. Therefore XXXX is reporting this debt inaccurately on my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
