Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Dear WELLS FARGO CARD SERVICES : I am writing to address an issue that has recently come to my attention regarding my credit report. During a review with my loan officer over the weekend, it was pointed out that my credit report reflects late payments for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX on this furniture credit card that i had opened back in XXXX. I believe these reported late payments are unfair, unjust, and inaccurate. 

I have always made timely payments upon receiving my statements. The only plausible explanation for this discrepancy is either a delay in the delivery of my monthly statement or an issue related to changes in my personal deposit accounts with my bank. 

Due to the financial and medical hardships I faced during this period, I request an immediate deletion of these late payments from all credit reporting agencies. Given our longstanding and positive relationship, I kindly ask for the removal of the XX/XX/XXXX day late payments from my credit report and a refund of any late fees assessed on my account. 

Additionally, under the provisions of the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) 15 USC 1666b, 1681i, and 1692g, I believe I have been billed incorrectly. These violations and inaccurate reporting necessitate an immediate correction and deletion of these items from my credit report.

I spoke with a representative from your company today, paid the entire balance, and set up automatic payments with my new banking account. Your colleague mentioned that they would submit a request to the credit reporting agencies to remove the XXXX months of late payments as a one-time courtesy.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was banking with USAA. Last month in XXXX there was fraud on my account. The bank because of this has decided to close my account indefinitely. From my job I have my paychecks direct deposited. I had a check of XXXX direct deposited back on XX/XX/XXXX. I was advised at first that I would not receive these funds for another XXXX days. I quickly contacted my employer to have then stop the direct deposits immediately and to send a paper check until I can find another bank to bank with. They forgot to stop the direct deposit and USAA received another direct deposit last Thursday of XXXX. I contacted the bank and advised that my company will recall the payment so that it then could be mailed to me. The person I was speaking advised that they were still showing a pending status on the funds and recalling the check would be allowed and then a paper check will be able to be mailed to me. Fast forward to today I noticed that the check that was supposed to be recalled is still sitting in my bank account. I called Usaa and spoke to several people and they are all telling me that because my account has been closed they will not release that money back to my employer so that I can be paid. They again advised me that I will NOT receive any monies for another XXXX days. The account has been closed with money in the account and now with my money sitting in an account that can not be used all of my bills are going to be beyond late and I will encounter late fees. Hopefully someone will be able to help me get my money back. USAA XXXX of their employees even told me to seek help from the Government to pay my bills while my money sits in their establishment. 

Thank You XXXX XXXX
