Issue: Repossession — Company explaining amount owed
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
My car was inappropriately repossessed by Wells Fargo without advance notice, and without notifying local law inforcement- when I called to report car as stolen report was taken and I was not told that my car was repossessed. A week later I received a notice in the mail informing me of repossession, and was told I had to pay {$1200.00} to reinstate the loan and get my car back when I asked what that amount was for they said {$270.00} was for my past due car payment and the rest was fees. I asked for a receipt and was told " There is no such thing as a receipt for that ''. I paid the amount and it took 3 days for them to actually release my vehicle after telling me false information about where my car was. When I showed up it was ON A TRANSPORT TRUCK being taken to auction despite having already paid for its release, only being 10 days after first being repossessed, and only 4 days since being notified of the repossession ( my state requires a 15 day waiting period after notice of repossession ). 
after reinstating my loan my online Wells Fargo account was disabled for two weeks and when I finally regained access my online banking account it was blank for 30 days- not showing ANY past payments, charges or transactions including the {$1200.00} payment, and now shows past transactions but I'm distrusting of the accuracy. During the time my account was disabled I called repeatedly trying to gain access and was told vastly different time frames that it takes to reactivate an account, I requested to be mailed my entire account history, transactions, and statements and was told by customer support they could submit a request but it can take 30 days for that request to be approved before they mail it out. it has now been 4 months and I still don't have that hard copy of my transaction history. 
In addition, despite paying all of my monthly payments on time or EARLY since this happening, I have been charged {$120.00} " Late fee '' s on every statement, and when I call customer support to ask about this late fee I'm told that its not really a late fee and is being applied to my principal balance, but every month it shows up as a late fee again.

1. Legal Basis for Dispute Under 1666b, creditors must provide accurate billing statements and resolve billing errors promptly. Additionally, 1637b ( a ) ( 7 ) requires that creditors furnish all required disclosures no later than 21 days after the payment due date.

The following transactions are disputed because : I did not receive the required disclosures within the mandated 21-day period.

2. Supporting Case Law Federal courts have consistently ruled in favor of consumers when creditors fail to adhere to disclosure requirements : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) The court held that creditors must strictly comply with XXXX disclosure timelines ; failure to do so invalidates the debts enforceability. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) The court affirmed that consumers have the right to dispute and remove improperly disclosed debts from credit reports under 1666b.

3. Demand for Immediate Action Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i, you are obligated to conduct a reasonable investigation and remove any unverified or improperly reported information. I demand that you : Permanently exclude the disputed transactions from my credit file.

Provide written confirmation of the deletion within 30 days.

4. Failure to Comply Will Result in Legal Action If Equifax fails to correct these inaccuracies, I will : File complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ).

Pursue legal remedies under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) for willful non-compliance. 

This is not a requestit is a lawful demand for correction under federal statute.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute several hard inquiries listed on my credit report that I did not authorize. Upon reviewing my credit file, I noticed multiple inquiries from companies with whom I have never applied for credit or given permission to access my report. 
I have submitted dispute requests and provided documentation to support my claim, but the inquiries remain on my file without resolution. These unauthorized inquiries negatively impact my credit score and raise concerns about potential identity misuse or reporting errors. Despite my follow-ups, the issue has not been appropriately addressed.

As a consumer, I have the right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe to be inaccurate or fraudulent. I am requesting that a full investigation be conducted to determine the origin and legitimacy of these inquiries.
