Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Complaint narrative:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in a Experian & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected.This is a defamation to my character and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher peoples information to 3rd party companies so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can be can get sued for these damages. This is negatively effecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items arent removed immediately

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I use Direct Pay Service from Wells Fargo Bank to pay my workers. Wells Fargo is supposed to verify the routing number and the account number of the payee that they are valid and that they match payee 's name, as it has been done in other occasions that they caught any wrong information entered before executing the transfer. They failed to do that for 2 times and the funds were transfer to somebody else. The routing number entered by me was for XXXXXXXX XXXX  and the account number was a Wells Fargo account, so the transfer should have not been executed due to the discrepancy. 
Direct Transfers in dispute : XX/XX/year> {$960.00} XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> {$230.00} XXXX XXXX I contacted Wells Fargo Direct Pay Department to get this fixed and get the transfer reversed but they refuse to help me.

I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

At the time the Lien was filed with the XXXX XXXX Register of Deed, Roosen , Varchetti & Olivier , PLLC and XXXX had the available means to contact the Complainant via media just by entering her name, but continued to use the bogus address. 

The same way Roosen , Varchetti & Olivier , PLLC and XXXX was able to acquire the accurate information necessary to apply the lien to numerous of the Complainant 's bank accounts which would have entailed more data, than a name and address search, to properly serve the Complainant.

Using the bogus address is a blatant disregard of the Complaint 's 14th and 7th Amendment rights as provided by the U.S. Constitution regarding due process, equal protection and right to trial. 

At the time XXXX filed the Lien at the XXXX XXXX Register of Deeds, the Complainant had a land contract, paid by her XXXX, income that was exempt and in XXXX  the property was protected by the " Homestead Exemption. '' By using a bogus address, XXXX had no intentions of the Complainant ever address or objecting to the debt. 

The Complainant has filed an affidavit showing XXXX  that she was a victim of " Identity Theft '' and gave them the perpetrators information, including her police record which shows her other criminal acts including " Identity Theft '' and Complainant filed a police report regarding the " Identity Theft '' issue.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX  my family and I traveled to the XXXX for a family trip and stayed at the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The purchase was made on our Amex card. The hotel verifiably misrepresented their hotel room that we purchased for our stay. Complaints were filed with the hotel. We notified Amex upon our return of the issue which was thoroughly documented and all evidence was provided to Amex. Amex continually ask for more information while the hotel denied our claims, but Amex never asked for evidence from their side.
