Consumer complaint received 2023-12-14 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I previously wrote you to investigate and verify a bankruptcy listed on my credit report and I received a response that the bankruptcy was verified with the bankruptcy court. 

I contacted the U.S. Bankruptcy Court courthouse to verify their information release policy. The court informed me that they do not provide anyone with a debtors full social security number and they do not provide ANY credit bureau ANY information about ANY bankruptcy cases. I have included a copy of the response from the courthouse for your reference. 

It is quite clear that someone from Experian lied about verifying this bankruptcy with the courthouse. That is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

As you know, it is also a violation of the FCRA to report inaccurate or unverifiable information on a credit report. Thus, I demand that you IMMEDIATELY REMOVE the following bankruptcy from my credit report : " XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy '', Docket # : XXXX Please respond to me in writing once this removal has been completed. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo is violating regulation-E and attempting to hold me liable for fraud. I reported it in XXXX when it occurred and assumed the bank did its job, but due to gross negligence, the fraud report was not filed correctly. While doing my taxes I noticed that it had not been resolved and refiled again in XXXX. However, it was done wrong again and again and again. It finally escalated to the executive office where they have been arguing with the fraud team as they are trying to hold me liable for fraud. Their XXXX excuse is that I continued to pay my credit card bills, which of course I did as I thought that Wells Fargo has handled the fraud. Sadly this seems like it's yet another instance of Wells Fargo being dishonest and unprofessional while violating federal regulations. There are charges for a dentist, lawyer, and a handful of other things that are not me and over {$10000.00}. I have not seen a dentist in the US other than my dentist in XXXX, that has been my dentist my whole life. Wells Fargo has a very long tradition of dishonest business practices, hence why they have had so much legal trouble. 

ITS VERY CONCERNING THAT WELLS FARGO KNOWING VIOLATES REGULATION-E ESPECIALLY TO A XXXX PERSON

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX we initiated a transfer through Venmo for {$1500.00}. That transaction posted to our account on XX/XX/XXXX I noticed on XX/XX/XXXX that our account available balance seem low when I used the ATM. We looked at our online banking on XX/XX/XXXX and there was a hold for an additional {$1500.00} from Venmo. That {$1500.00} posted to our account on XX/XX/XXXX, so we have been charged an additional {$1500.00}. We called Venmo on XX/XX/XXXX and the customer service person said that there was an issue and " the engineers were working on it ''. He said he was unable and unwilling to give us any additional information. It was very unhelpful. My wife called Venmo numerous times today ( XX/XX/XXXX ). After being on hold for 20-30 minutes she was told pretty much the same thing. They were working on the issue. Since that was completely unacceptable she spoke to a supervisor who said that this was an issue that affected numerous customers who made transfers on XX/XX/XXXX. She was helpful but could only say that they were hoping the money could be returned in a few days. My wife expressed her displeasure to the supervisor on the complete lack of communication from the company after Venmo made UNAUTHORIZED transactions from many accounts and did not let anyone know.
