On ( XX/XX/2022 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report.

Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
First, my request to block is not being made in error ; nor is my request being made on the basis of material misrepresentation of fact by me relevant to the request to block the identified transactions. Experian is denying me of my rights as a consumer!! 15 U.S. Code 1681c2- Block of information resulting from identity theft explicitly says the information needed for a consumer agency to block and delete information reporting on a consumer file. ( A ) Block- a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft ; not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer- PROVIDED ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report-PROVIDED ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by consumer-PROVIDED ; ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer-PROVIDED. It is clear that Experian does not comply with federal law. What right do they have to deny me ( consumer ) of my federally protected rights? I have provided everything necessary for this block of information. I have attached all documents and also attached the email they sent me recklessly asking me for additional information which is not required under federal law. Last, I did not give Experian permission to place an extended fraud alert on my credit report allegedly on my behalf.

Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I received a notification ( see attached ) from a creditor. I have a problem with this because I was NEVER notified of this debt prior to being forwarded to a creditor, and it is compliant with FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT and FAIR BILLING ACT to first inform the debtor of the debt. This creditor FAILED to do that. Instead, they automatically forwarded the debt to the collection agency without providing me the opportunity to satisfy the debt. Additionally, this creditor has not VERIFIED this debt, thus I do not know the debt or have knowledge of ever collecting the debt. The creditor has NOT notified me of the debt, or given me an opportunity to pay the debt and has not VERIFIED the debt. I do not know or have any knowledge of this debt and thus requesting that the creditor VERIFIES the debt to me, and do not report this debt to any credit reporting agencies or else this creditor will be in violation of the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING and FAIR BILLING ACT and if the creditor reports to the credit bureaus, I will sue this creditor.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX we received notice that the Wells Fargo Bank closed our account on XX/XX/XXXX without notice resulting in 7 checks that were returned for NSF and incurring a penalty. My husband immediately phoned to find out why such a measure was taken. This had been our primary account for more than 15 years to pay our bills and pensions being automatically deposited. We also had enough money in the account but the Wells Fargo sent us a check for the balance of $ XXXX though the regular mail. The answer given was that I was still listed as residing in XXXX!! We have lived in XXXX, XXXX since XXXX and my name was on the checks and we had written to the Wells Fargo Office in XXXX that Hawaii was our permanent address. The executive customer person was very unhelpful and unapologetic. She said they had let us know through our Mobile number and blamed XXXX. That is a lie ... ..they do not have our mobile number. Then she claimed they mailed a letter to the address in XXXX, where we previously lived. That is another lie... .had a letter been mailed it would have been returned to Wells Fargo with address unknown. We were furious that 7 checks would then incur penalties for NSF. We phoned many times each time being told I was a resident of XXXX. I have a letter written in XX/XX/XXXX advising them that we were permanent residents of XXXX. Why they did not check their files is the question. This caused us many problems and we spent weeks trying to notify all places involved. This action may reduce my credit rating. We then received another letter from the same Exwcutive Customer Service Person saying they are not responsible for any penalties. I believe they are responsible, They closed our account without properly notifying us. They never sent us any type of notice. Please note they would not close our $ XXXX CD. We had to phone many times. Why could they close our checking account but not allow us to close our CD, which incidentally was earning a mere 0.06 %!!.
