Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I had sent a letter to XXXX XXXX in regards to an account that was on my consumer file under my name. In this letter I was requesting that XXXX XXXX provide me with the alleged physical verification of the original signed contract between myself and their company. I received a response stating that my letter was unclear, and they did not know what I was asking for ( copies of all correspondences will be included in this complaint ). I then sent XXXX XXXX a letter on XXXX reiterating that I was requesting proof of an alleged account being reported to the Credit Bureaus in my name. XXXX XXXX had then responded to that letter stating that they have no way of validating the account as the application process was done online or over the phone. I have never applied for or obtained anything from this company, not in person, over the phone, online, not by fax, postal mail, NOTHING. 

On XXXX, XXXX AND on XXXX, I wrote to XXXX, XXXX  and Equifax as they have continued to verify this account as accurate. My question would be, how is are these bureaus verifying an account in my name, when the company has already sent me a letter stating that they are unable to verify this account. 

XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax continue to keep this inaccurate negative information on my credit report after being informed multiple times, WITH PROOF that this account needs to be removed.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I sent a letter to Equifax on XXXX disputing an account, listed without a company name or any contact information, they responded stating that the account was verified. On XXXX I sent a second dispute letter, factually disputing the contents of the account as the account had been illegally re-aged causing it to stay on my credit report longer than it legally should and was in violation of Metro 2 compliance, as it was missing multiple necessary fields of information required for me to try to identify what exactly this account was pertaining to. As time goes on, the name of the account appears on my report as XXXX XXXX. Again, the account came back verified, no changes. A 3rd letter was sent to Equifax on XXXX reiterating the fact that the account still remained unverified. 

On XXXX I received a letter from the collection company, XXXX XXXX advising me that my previous dispute with the CFPB had been received. They then proceeded to state that the account had been confirmed with their client, and then sent me a copy of medical records and a break down of procedures. 

Upon receipt of this letter, I responded directly to XXXX XXXX, ( sent them the same letter twice within a 7 day period. As they like to claim they do not receive your mail ) requesting copies of any agreement that bears signature of the alleged debtor wherein he or she agreed to pay the creditor AND as this is a medical account a copy of any HIPAA authorization.

I had then sent a letter to equifax requesting the immediate deletion of this account, as the medical collector had violated major HIPAA laws. Equifax remains unresponsive. 

I never received a response back to my letter requesting these documents, so I called in and spoke with a manager/supervisor about the account. She advised me that she was not required to provide me with this information, and that she get 's " dozens of these letters all the time ''.

Company: WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage is with WSFS and I am set up with automatic withdrawal. In XXXX of 2020 they took 2 payments from my checking account. I contacted them immediately, they acknowledged the error but it took them 10 days to refund my money because they said they had to be sure it had cleared my account. It happened again with my XXXX payment, they took 2 payments. I called their customer service line and they told me that if I could send them a copy of my bank statement showing that it had cleared they could refund the money immediately. I sent that to them immediately yesterday and today received an email from them saying I had to call instead. I called and they said they couldn't anyone in the right department to help. I insisted on talking to a manager and after holding for over 10 minutes I had to hang up for a meeting. I still don't have the money back and I have provided them proof from my bank that it has cleared. I need my money back and more importantly they have not yet told me why this has happened 2 out of the 3 last payments.

I had attached a file about what escalations officers email me saying my funds will be available in XXXX under this email for the proof and an email from Venmo on XX/XX/2020, saying that Venmo will not be able to release those funds to me. please review it thanks.
