Consumer complaint received 2023-04-10 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Convergent Resources, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
At some point my identity was stolen to purchase a XXXX XXXX in Illinois using an Illinois address, I have never purchased a XXXX XXXX from XXXX nor have I lived in Illinois. I have brought this to the attention of CONVERGENT OUTSOURCING but they have not responded or investigated and only rubber stamped their own verification. It is horrible to be the victim of identity theft and it is made worse when people affect your credit and come after you for things other people stole.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Zions Debt Holdings
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a text message stating I owed money to XXXX for the period between XXXX and XXXX, for my residence at XXXX, WA. I had filed a dispute with XXXX XXXX when this popped up in my credit, stating that this was not mine. XXXX is an alarm service that is a month-to-month billing method, not a request for credit. I moved from XXXX, Washington to XXXX XXXX, Washington on XX/XX/XXXX, so there is no way that I could have had a monitoring service in XXXX, when I wasnt even living there. I received a text message stating from Zions Debt Holdings, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, UT XXXX, XXXX, with a XXXX credit listing as an opened account on XX/XX/XXXX, as derogatory. I have disputed this and told the collection agency to cease and desist. They continued to force me to pay and said I would need to go after whomever made this charge. I told them that was their responsibility as the burden of proof is on them. I additionally told them that regardless of such, it is beyond the 7-year window. They continued to harass me, and when I said I would complain, they said good luck with that, it wont remove the item and well mark it as refusal to pay. I have attached evidence of their claim and evidence to support mine. I would like this remedied ASAP.

Issue # 1. Insufficent Investigation Violation of FCRA : Unfair ( A proper investigation would have revealed that it was not my account ).

After another review of my recent credit report, I noticed that this fraudulent account is still on my credit report and unfairly negatively impacting my credit score. 

XX/XX/XXXX I wrote a letter to XXXX requesting that they validate and investigate this account because it is not mine. ( See attached report ). 

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX sent me back a correspondence indicating that above referenced account had been validated. How can this be when I never authorized or submitted an application for this account or card. XXXX did not provide me with any documentation or contract with my signature on it requesting to open an account, or any other documents that prove I opened this account. ( See attached letter ). 

In my letter XX/XX/XXXX letter to XXXX I specifically asked to see confirmation of a contract with my signature authorizing this account to be opened by me. XXXX wrote letter back to me on stated that their investigation was verified without any information or documentation as requested by me. 

My respectful request is that CFPB assist me in having this XXXX XXXX deleted from all three major credit bureaus because I did not open or give permission to anyone to open this account in my name. I am a victim of identity theft. This account is further victimizing me as is negatively impacting my credit score.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have filed numerous complaints with the 3 credit bureau 's about my State Farm credit card issued by US Bank. US Bank is reporting to them every month that I am over the credit limit. It appears to me that US Bank is selectively ( profiling ) minorities by indicating that I am over the limit to all three credit bureaus. They are selecting what to report instead of reporting accurate account information to the bureaus. 

I have never went over the credit limit on this account. I have made numerous attempts to resolve the issue with US Bank by requesting a status update letter. However, the letter does not indicate the credit limit. 

I do believe that they are not practicing in good faith as it relates to addressing concerns of minority Americans. I believe they are targeting minorities by reporting inaccurate information to the credit bureaus every month. 

I called US Bank and asked them would they tell me the day that my credit card was over the limit or even when I owed {$5000.00} on the credit card, both supervisors that I spoke with told me that I was never over the credit limit.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I went to close all of my accounts with bank of America on XX/XX/XXXX. I paid my entire credit card balance, and it was at a XXXX  balance when I closed it. I was in person at a branch, but the credit card portion was done over the phone in the office of the branch. After closing my card and all of my bank of america accounts, I moved to a new bank. I received no communications from Bank of America and was under the impression my business with them had been concluded. In XXXX of XXXX I received a letter that my credit card was in delinquency, over a {$4.00} balance that was not paid, and an additional {$7.00} in late fees. Confused, I went into my local branch. At the time I was unable to be given an answer as to why the charge was there, how it was closed with a balance, and why I had received 0 communication about the card until the delinquency letter. I was under the impression I was receiving good customer service when the associate at my local branch told me they would waive the {$7.00} in fees, and had me pay the {$4.00}. I had had this card for over 5 years and never missed a payment, so it was clear to the associates in the branch that the {$4.00} was some sort of error. At the time my primary concern was my credit score not being affected by this 4 months of " late payment '' I paid the {$4.00}, and then was again under the impression that I had concluded my business with Bank of America. When I checked my credit score at the beginning of XXXX, I found that it had dropped nearly XXXX points, as the account was still regarded as delinquent, as the {$7.00} had not been waved. I have since paid the {$7.00}, as Bank of America refused to do anything to an account that was in collections. To reiterate, I found out the account was in collections due to my own diligence, I had not received communications from them aside from the 1 delinquency letter on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I believe it is relevant that they did have my contact information for this letter, but failed to provide any statements or other communication about this account. I then went through a credit bureau adjustment case with bank of America, only to have them conclude there were 0 errors on their end. The department for this is not accessible by customers, and I had to spend hours getting transferred around by BOA to file this report. I had to call and request the result be resent, as the initial letter was not sent, and they could not tell me the findings of the case over the phone. I spent many more hours trying to dispute this information, as it was not accurate. At this point nothing has been resolved, and I have no faith that bank of america is capable of assisting.
