Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Certegy Holdings, LLC
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am not sure this is the right category to file this under and please correct it if wrong. 
I went to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to buy my son a XXXX present. I wrote a check in the amount of {$170.00} The cashier ran it thru the check approval system and it was DECLINED. I said please run it thru again as the is impossible. I have over {$5000.00} in my checking account and a credit score of XXXX and have never had a check declined in my life It was declined again and I was given a printout about why. It was a company called CERTEGY. I was embarrassed and humiliated by this episode in front of all in line. 
I called the number given but could not talk to a real person only an automated system which when given the information only confirmed the denial with no appeal and it was final. I write checks all the time with no problem and now can not get answers. I have called and called and the same thing happens Only reason given on the paper was code 2 which is ridiculous as it states Certegy Deny Code 2 Lack of History Deny Code 2 is the most common reason for a merchant to deny a check. This code is less an indicator of fraudulent activity from the check-writer and has more to do with potential risks from the merchant in the past and other locations nearby. 

The most common reason this code gets triggered is when a writer has little to no history of writing checks or the behavior is out of the ordinary. If you dont use checks normally and decide to use one to pay for a new expensive item, this code may pop up due to its abnormality, though specifics are not released. 

I have wrote checks since XXXX and have had my present account for over 20 years and write checks all the time. There is no reason for this I went to my bank and asked if there was a problem there and they were incredulous. I filed a complaint with XXXX and XXXX. I have faxed Certegy many times now and no one is responding to my complaint and why this has happened as there is no way this should have occurred.

I saw many complaints online against Certegy for this same issue. This needs to be stopped and this company shut down. I want an apology from both them and XXXX  and this issue resolved and assurances that this will never happen again.

Complaint narrative:
This is so annoying & frustrating. Ive sent EXPERIAN multiple letters that Im the one whos disputing the item that are UNKNOWN to me. In XXXX responses that make the claim that have not initiated any disputes on my behalf due to the fraudulent or high risk nature, and the documents I provided have either been confirmed as fraudulent or deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. This is a complete joke. How in the world did they verify this claims? First of all, I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, I never sent my documentation to anyone else as it deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. Also, according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. 

( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than XXXX business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. 

Again, under FCRA 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court. 

I need your help! As a consumer, I need to correct my credit file for my credit worthiness, credit standing, or credit capacity to obtain my rights and My Financial Freedom that has been DAMAGE. List of item that is UNKNOWN to me : XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2016 Balance : {$14000.00}.
