Complaint narrative:
This is my Fourth attempt to receive from you the requested original signed agreement of a disputed 8-year old account [ XXXX XXXX ],  letter dated XX/XX/2018. It is my understanding that I have a right to see the original signed documents of this accountnot statements, letters from the creditor or any other document that is not the signed agreement between me and the creditor ; only that document can prove fraud or ownership. 
In addition, I have repeatedly asked for this information to be mailed to my correct address as stated above. I have yet to receive any of what I have asked for, in previous communications I have proven my New York address of nearly 20 years. 
Based on several credit-pulls across all the bureaus, at least two creditorsit appears XXXX is oneis updating their accounts to mirror present day profiles in an effort to legitimize their claims, the second creditor has already been removed. The type of credit cards that are said to be mine are cards that earn frequent flyer miles and/or cash back. The very first card like those I applied for, received, and owned is my XXXX XXXX card 2-years ago. Any creditor claiming that I owned any such card more than two years ago and is NOT XXXX ; is creating and/or updating accounts to reflect my very recent credit profile. Creditors engaged in this type of behavior convey the fact that they did not meet the legal requirements for verification. 
As this is my fourth attempt I will be submitting another grievance to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection/ FTC-FCRA, to lay the groundwork for later legal actionif necessary. All I want is the original signed agreementthe signature, handwriting, and information entered can easily prove fraud or ownership. 
My next step will have to be to seek legal representation on this matter. Please attain the requested documents or remove this account and send an updated copy of my credit report and all responses to my request to the above addressthe only accurate address, thank you.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I recently signed up to check my credit reportings, and everything looks fine except for a hard inquiry from Chase bank. This seemed strange to me because I never applied for a Chase credit card or debit card for that matter, I've always had XXXX XXXX XXXX.

The inquiry is from XX/XX/2016.

I had a good amount of credit limit with XXXX XXXX XXXX so there would've been no reason for me to apply for a Chase card. I went into a Chase bank to get this resolved after I found out but they did not want to help me. I get that this is a 2-year-old inquiry, but I would like it off, I did not apply for one, and also this is hurting my credit score.

I also plan on getting a new credit card, which this Chase inquiry will hurt my score.

Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2018 Deposited via ATM {$1800.00} at a PNC Bank Branch in XXXX, VA into my PNC checking account. After taking my funds, the ATM immediately displayed a temporarily out of service error and my debit card was ejected shortly after. However, my account was not credited to reflect this deposit. I went into the bank to resolve this issue, but none of the employees at this bank branch has access to ATM. My only recourse is to file a dispute. The dispute takes up to 10 days to be resolve and for this entire time, I don't have access to my funds. Because of PNC 's faulty ATM, I don't have access my funds for days.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Equifax to fix a hard inquiry on my credit report from XXXX. Equifax responded on XX/XX/2018 stating nothing more that it was accurate. I never consented to XXXX accessing my credit report and they never asked. When is Equifax going to take full responsibility and start doing their job instead of just sending a bogus letter stating that they see the inquiry was made and it must be correct because XXXX   submitted it. That is ridiculous. Credit agencies should be penalized if they don't investigate or take the wrong information and delete it. Equifax directs me to contact XXXX  for details. Well if I needed to contact XXXX I would have done so but I asked Equifax to do their job but it seems they don't care and just slide the work to the customer or someone else.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX and I have a loan with Ocwen loan services. They have put me in a loan that is now illegal but at the time it was not, a negative amortization ARM loan. I have been making my payments diligently either by phone or by internet. Never once have I missed a payment in the last 24 months. However, Ocwen has reported me as being late multiple times throughout the past 24 months. I have tried to speak with them about removing the late payments, but they have refused to delete the late payments. I truly believe they are just trying to hold down my credit so I can not refinance my mortgage loan. They are telling me it is due to increased fees and different payment amounts. What I don't understand, is that I always call in or pay online the payment that they say is owed. I don't just send in the same payment every month by check, I always pay what they say is owed. I have attached a bunch of documents clearing this up and will work on getting bank statements to show all payments have been made. Ocwen has already been sued for deceptive mortgage practices, which I have attached the documentation. Every time I try to call over to them, they have their call centers in XXXX and XXXX and there is a language barrier as well. Because of this it is very hard to get anything resolved because it is hard to communicate.

Sent instructions via email to XXXX on how to register with XXXX and asked her to do so. XX/XX/2018 XXXX still has not recived the {$240.00} in her account Added XXXX recipient " XXXX '' -- XXXX XXXX ( XXXX 's husband ) TRANSFER TO XXXX XXXX ON XX/XX/XXXX REF # XXXX ( via XXXX ) --  email used was : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX received the amount in their account ( same account as XXXX ) {$240.00} XX/XX/2018 Talked to Wells Fargo banker " XXXX '' XXXX checked both of our accounts -- XXXX 's email was still NOT registered with XXXX -- XX/XX/18 Our account showed a payment of {$240.00} to XXXX -- XX/XX/18 Our account showed that the payment was delivered to some WF account ( not XXXX 's ) -- XX/XX/18 XXXX XXXX & XXXX 's account show NO payment received on XX/XX/18. -- XX/XX/18 XXXX XXXX & XXXX 's account show the payment ( {$240.00} ) received. ( sent on XX/XX/XXXX ) XX/XX/2018 After almost 3 weeks of original XXXX payment, the amount that should have been returned to us within 10 days of No Delivery is still no where to be found. XX/XX/2018 XXXX claim case opened : XXXX XX/XX/2018 XXXX claim case closed : They claim the amount was successfully delivered and a token was successfully issued and there is nothing they can do now ( but they do not disclose to WHOM it was delivered ) The question is : If XXXX 's email is not registered with XXXX ( as Wells Fargo has verified ), then where did the original amount of {$240.00} go -- it was taken from our account but not received by the intended recipient ( both facts verified by Wells Fargo including the intended recipient 's email address, so no confusion about the email address either ), then where did it go and why are they not refunding us?? XXXX & XXXX have no other bank account. XXXX also called Wells Fargo & XXXX, but they could not help him either to track down the missing payment. XX/XX/XXXX -- XX/XX/XXXX Went back & forth with the Wells Fargo banker " XXXX ''. He opened a new case : XXXX with their Executive Resolution Team, who took 2 weeks to look into this. In the end the case was closed because XXXX won't expose the account # the amount was deposited to. XXXX gave up and agreed we go through the Legal Route.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I believe Navy Federal Credit Union has been charging me interest on late charges in addition to interest on the principal. I understand interest applies to the principal. 

I also believe the Credit Union has been reporting late charges and interest on late charges as part of my balance to the 4 credit reporting agencies. 

My personal loan matured in XX/XX/2018 and I made my last payment in XX/XX/2018, however my balance is over {$2000.00} and continues to grow each day. I believe the Credit Union is also using compounding on these fees which is increasing my balance each day.

Although the Credit Union has provided my payment history the breakdown does not answer my question about interest on late charges and credit reporting of the same. The spreadsheet has 7 columns, all self-explanatory except a " P3 ''  column that has no description. The line items are self-explanatory except " Late Fee Capitalization '' which I do not understand.

As of this date the Credit Union has not answered my questions. As of this date I have not made any other payments since my XXXX payment. My loan matured in XXXX and I made what I thought was the last principal payment in XXXX. The late fee balance is increasing each day and is {$2000.00}. I have not made any other payments because I do not know what I'm paying for. 

These questions remain? 

1 ) Have I been charged interest on late charges ; and, if so, the total amount of interest charged " on late charges, '' not principal, over the duration of the loan? 
2 ) Has interest on late charges and late charges been reported in my loan balance to the credit reporting agencies? 
3 ) Exactly what does my current balance represent? I do not know and that's why I am not paying.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was provided a report from a background-checking company, on behalf of a potential employer. I was told that my report showed another person 's name, using my social security number. I was notified later that day, by an HR person at the potential employer, about the report, and she sent me a partial copy of the report via e-mail, which showed the other person 's name, address, and birth date. I was told I should contact the Social Security Administration, which I did, via phone. When I called the SSA, a representative told me I needed to file a police report. So I called the police and was told that without a report showing a specific crime was committed, I could not make a report. So I notified the background-checking company that I was getting the runaround from everyone. The person who ran the initial report on me sent me a report via snail mail. When I received it, I found numerous inaccuracies. I saw the person whose social security matched mine, on the report, and she is showing under my social security number since XX/XX/XXXX. She was born in XXXX. I also am showing on the report as having lived at an address from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, where I never lived in my life, although this address is showing with my name and social security number. In another part of the report, I am shown with a middle name of XXXX. My middle name is XXXX. I am concerned that this person who is showing with my social security number may be drawing Social Security XXXX using my social security number, which could lessen my retirement benefit. I can't get anyone to take this seriously or to give me accurate or useful advice on what to do.
