Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
The credit reporting agencies continue to report incorrect information on my consumer report. The addresses, the names, the phone numbers, and the personal statements are NOT accurate. I have been a victim of identity theft, I have submitted the report, and the CRA 's will NOT remove the information and will NOT report the correct information. I am submitting a copy of Affidavit, current drivers license, and a copy of the misrepresented information that XXXX has on my report. It is a PURE disgrace for lenders and creditors to depend on the agencies, yet their information isn't factual. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) the banking system is dependent upon my consumer report being fair and accurate. After reviewing my consumer report, it has come to my attention that the CRA 's have reported inaccurate information. This inaccurate information is unfair to me because I was never notified when the inaccurate information was furnished, and I was never notified that they were going to report this incorrect information. This grave error has undermined my confidence in the CRA 's procedures.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I received a call from Wells Fargo ( XXXX ) on Tuesday, XX/XX/23, at XXXX XXXX  and the person ( who sounded like a man ) said my debit card had a purchase on it from Florida. He asked if I made this purchase or if I had lost my card, and since I hadn't made the purchase nor lost my card, he said he would cancel this card and send me a new card. I was hesitant because people are pulling scams like this, so I asked what the last 4 digits of the card were, and he told me XXXX, which is correct. He told me that before sending me the new card ( ending in XXXX ), I'd have to set up a new PIN for it via an automated voice system. He transferred me to the automated system where I typed my new PIN into the system -- this PIN was different than the PIN from my debit card ending in XXXX. After that, I was transferred back to this Wells Fargo person and he said he would rush mail me my new debit card. I was hesitant throughout the conversation w/him because I was afraid it could be a scam, and he asked me if anything was wrong at the end of the call. I said I was worried it could be a scam, but that I hadn't given him any important info, and he said something along the lines of that it wasn't a scam and they were trying to protect me, so we parted ways. XXXX, XXXX, morning at XXXX XXXX, I received an email from Wells Fargo stating that my debit card ending in XXXX was being shipped to me ; however, at XXXX XXXX, I received an email from Wells Fargo saying that my card ending in XXXX had been declined in XXXX, XXXX. I logged into my WF account only to see that someone had stolen almost all the money from my savings and checking accounts. They withdrew three times : {$2000.00}, {$280.00}, {$240.00}, totaling {$2500.00}. I talked to XXXX ( didn't ask for last name or employee number ) at Wells Fargo, who opened a claim ( claim # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and is starting an investigation. Throughout talking to XXXX, she said that Wells Fargo doesn't use automated systems to set up PINs and that if suspicious activity is happening on a person 's card, an email or letter is sent to the person -- a call isn't made. She also said that the address the new debit card was sent to was one in Florida -- I live in XXXX  and don't even know anyone in Florida. The address it was sent to wasn't close to what mine was.

Company: BMW Financial Services NA, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have been a long-term customer with BMW and leasing through BMW financial . 
In XXXX i was in an accident and by car was totaled. The insurance company assessment was done and BMW financial was paid {$3800.00} over the residual value of the car. The BMW financial policy is to not only take the residual value but also 50 % of the amount over the residual valve of the car and only credit the consumer the other 50 % for further BMW leases otherwise they take the entire amount.

This policy by BMW financial is abuse of the rights of the consumer and excessive and unreasonable penalization their consumers. 

It is also important to note that this policy is not the standard practice with other car financial companies many of whom do not penalize their consumers after a traumatic experience.
