Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I'm currently locked out of my account for 48 hours after trying to transfer funds into the account so my dates my not be exact as I don't have access to the account. 

I applied for a business checking account on XX/XX/XXXX from an offer that I receive. I added {$100.00} to the account on XX/XX/XXXX. Once it was received, I tried to add more funds to meet the offer of XXXX XXXXXXXX deposited within 30 days and hold for 2 months to earn {$800.00}. 

I called 9 times last week to get help and was finally able to figure out on my own that it takes 3 days for my mobile number to be verified before I can make a transfer. I already setup my " from '' bank as an external transfer. I was told to try again making the online transfer on XXXX once my mobile number was verified. 

I logged on XXXX to make a XXXX XXXX transfer, which the website states is the limit for one transaction and takes 3 days to process. My account was subsequently locked after trying to make the transfer. 

I called the help line again and was transferred successively to four different people and had to explain my story 4 different times. US Bank made me an offer that they are blocking me from fulfilling by not allowing me to transfer funds and even locking my account, denying me access when I do try to transfer funds into the account. 

This is unacceptable banking practices. I made consideration for this deal by impacting my credit to open the account with the payoff of lending them XXXX  XXXX to make {$800.00}. The deal is not being honored and my time is being wasted. 

It seems like my only option is to cut my losses and close my account and take the hit to my credit for their poor customer service.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern. 
I noticed my escrow balance was negative, so I asked for a breakdown analysis after speaking to several employees at Newrez. They were all telling me my city tax increased. I was shocked by this because my city tax was already paid for the year. After getting a copy of my escrow analysis, I noticed my escrow account was used to pay my personal water bills in disguise as city tax in XX/XX/year>. It is my understanding that my escrow account will not be used in paying my personal water bill. I would like a copy of the tax bill that was sent to you, and why it was paid. I want to know how a water bill in the amount of {$4200.00} qualified as a city tax. My personal bills are my responsibility. The said bills I have attached had discrepancies, most of them were not even in my name which I am still disputing with the city. They have been sending the water bills in someone elses name, which has made it difficult for me to know who is responsible for the bill. The bill is not a city tax BUT A WATER BILL and should never have come out of my escrow account. I would also like to know why my escrow payments are so high every month. I am also attaching the adjustment for my home insurance ; I was able to reduce my home insurance so this should be adjusted on my mortgage payment. I still have two error late payment reported by you on my loan. This is unacceptable and I am giving 30 days for this to be rectified otherwise I will have no other recurse than to take legal action.

Hello, I am on XXXX government benefits. I receive a payment to my direct express card monthly to pay my bills.

I have inquired many times about WEB access to my account online. Direct express did not tell me there was a Direct express App to use. I found out on my own. I have not received a post mail or email response. I received phone calls and unclear voicemail messages. I requested via phone to please respond via email only and this request was refused. 

I now am presenting a problem that has not been addressed as of yet with Direct express for years to you. That must be fixed. I have had XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  for a few years at my apartment. I was able to pay my bill the first few month with my direct express card. I have called many times to have Direct express ublock this payment so I may pay my bill. Direct Express Express told me the payment will be unblocked in a few hours for only 24 hours. Direct express is blocking me from paying my XXXX XXXX bill and requested I go get prepaid gift cards to pay this bill online. This is still currently an issue. I should not have to pay any bills with alternative methods of this sort. The gift cards cost an additional price every month. Please Explain in writing in an email why you are blocking this specific monthly payment for years? I tried once again to pay my bill with my Direct express card today and the payment is still being blocked by Direct express. It would appear it is an attempt to alert Hud so I may appear to have another source of income and loose my housing,
