Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have been sending information and notifications to the bureaus for months to dispute some accounts that are in my credit and I think they are not accurate, and they have never answered to this. The have never responded to me, even by email. According to the law, they have to report what is happening with my case. I think this is unfair that I have to come to this for them to take me into account.

Company: Dakota Financial, LLC
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I financed a used truck over a year ago and the more I look into the finance contract, they scammed me. I have over 1 year left on the loan and the truck has already been paid for. The contract doesn't say the total finance amount, and they don't say anything about a payoff penalty. I asked them for a payoff amount back in XXXX and come to find out they have a {$18000.00} payoff penalty ( proof attached ). 

I purchased a used XXXX XXXX XXXX from an auction for {$29000.00} ( Financed Amount ) with a {$7800.00} deposit. 

The term is for 36 months @ {$1200.00} per month = {$43000.00} + {$7800.00} deposit = {$51000.00} ( {$29000.00} financed ). The total interest is {$22000.00} but the payoff charge is over {$18000.00}. 

Dakota Financial is very dangerous to small companies!

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
My car loan was paid in full - my auto insurance & XXXX insurance carriers paid MORE than the full balance of the loan. 

I'd previously filed a separate complaint against Wells Fargo Dealer Services in XXXX because they were reporting my loan as a charge off. They sent a response advising there was an issue with the payment from the XXXX insurance XXXX but they initiated another claim to get the outstanding amount & would correct my credit report once they received the payment. 

After a review of their financial records, in XX/XX/XXXX Wells Fargo Dealer Services sent a letter advising that they discovered my loan was actually overpaid & issued a refund check plus interest ( see attached ). For some XXXX forsaken reason, Wells Fargo began actively reporting the account as a charge off on my credit reports in XX/XX/XXXX & have been doing so for the last 6 months. Not only was the loan MORE than paid in full & not charged off, the loan is from XXXX & has not been active in years so there is no reason for them to be actively reporting it on my credit as a current charge off. 

This is the second time I've had to file a complaint against Wells Fargo for adding wrong/disparaging information on my credit report. Obviously, this new issue with them has resulted in XXXX credit drop at their hands, They continue to cause me distress, both emotional & financial, with their inaccurate reporting. They've been fined for poor/predatory banking practices so many times that it's unbelieveable they are still allowed to do business. When are you all going to actually protect consumers & shut them down?

Complaint narrative:
To be clear up front : I have NO relationship with Mission XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, nor XXXX XXXX, and NEVER have. No credit cards, no business accounts, as far as I recall I've never even walked into a XXXX. All mail discussed is paper mail sent through the post office, not emails.

I have also received various " welcome '' mailing packets of the type commonly associated with a bank account : e.g. " use our app '', " enroll in paperless banking '' According to these statements, I now have XXXX accounts at XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Each shows being funded at the end of XXXX by a {$5.00} " Deposit ACH XXXX XXXX BANK ID : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  BANK '' - did I mention I also have no relationship with XXXX XXXX or their successors? The XXXX statement indicates they are withdrawing a {$7.00} " Withdrawal MONTHLY XXXX XXXX '', such that there is an indicated negative balance on at least XXXX of the accounts now. This is the first contact I have received from them. 
I never requested or authorized any of these accounts or interacted with either of these banks. I have not opened any new credit cards or priced loans or done anything financial that would involve new accounts in my name for YEARS.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal online complaint against XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX regarding inaccurate credit reporting. I previously submitted a written complaint on XXXX XXXX XXXX through mail but have yet to receive any response. 
I am distressed by the ongoing inaccuracies in reporting late payments on my credit reports by XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX. Despite my initial attempt to address this issue through a written letter, I have not received any acknowledgment or resolution. 
The discrepancies pertain to late payments on my XXXX XXXX account ( account number : XXXX ) for the months of XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I demand a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies and request the provision of verifiable proof regarding the alleged late payments. 
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I insist that XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX physically verify the original signed consumer contract for the mentioned account. The failure to positively verify these accounts has adversely affected my creditworthiness and has impeded my ability to obtain credit. 
I am now submitting this complaint through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's online portal to seek a prompt and effective resolution to this matter. I demand that XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX verify or remove the inaccurate information immediately. Furthermore, I request the removal of non-account holding inquiries over 30 days old and the addition of a promotional suppression to my credit file. 
I expect a thorough investigation and corrective action from XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX. As stipulated by federal law, I request the completion of the investigation within thirty ( 30 ) days and the provision of a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information within fifteen ( 15 ) days of the completion of the investigation. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will assist in facilitating a prompt resolution to these inaccuracies in credit reporting.
