Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I believe this collection is falsely being reported on my credit report by error or as a result of identity theft. in 2019 I was contacted by a business who suggested I contact the credit bureaus because I may have been a victim of identity theft and fraud. I contacted another credit bureau is where I found the collection. I reached out to the business. I had never heard of this business until seeing the name on the report. I am not liable for this debt with NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEMS INC. I do not have a contract with the collection agency trying to collect and report this to my credit report. I did not sign any paperwork with the collection agency NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEMS INC. stating that I would pay them or owe them any money. I requested they provide me with the original contract. They did not provide me with the contract as requested. I want a correction to my credit report, I demand that this account be removed from my credit report. I do not know who National Credit systems is, yet I do know that they are doing bad business practices as far as I can see, National Credit Systems does not verify information they receive for accuracy. They report inaccurate information and put debt in collections accounts that otherwise would not be there. This is wrong and has caused conflict when it comes to verifying my identity because I do not have any debt. I am making this complaint because I have contacted National Credit Systems about this more than once, from the time I first learned about their information on the consumer report file account, yet they have not made any effort to remove the inaccurate information that they are reporting saying I owe them money I never agreed to pay them and do not owe and is not my debt, yet they have made every effort to have it remain on the consumer report so that they can be paid from my account to themselves which is a attempt to use me as a source of their funding, which is wrong. They have been trying to do so by using a way to have this incorrect information continue to be reported, causing me delays, false declines, and a negative narrative that I have debt and owe and not responsible to pay. Which is not true and absolutely unfair that no one is taking that seriously, because I have made several complaints about this from the time I have learned about it, and even I years later I have made complaints about it and it is still there on the report. I am making this complaint to have this removed for a resolution for this error or what is being intentionally done by NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEMS INC. Thank you for you help with this.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I have a Health advantage credit card account with Wells Fargo, I opened this account to help pay for my XXXX  XXXX. I was told that I had 18 months no interest if I was making timely payments. Before I had my XXXX I requested an increase and was approved for {$300.00}, I was told that the {$300.00} only comes with a 6 month no interest offer, I accepted. I had the XXXX  and began making payments of {$120.00}, I did do for 6 months. On my most recent statement I noticed an interest charge of {$18.00}. Upon further review and in communicating with wells fargo to inquire why I was being charged interest when I had been making payments, have exceeded the {$300.00} with a 6 month no interest period, I was informed that my credit card was divided into 3 separate accounts and that wells fargo divided my monthly payments, based on priority that they determined, meaning payments were not divided evenly, but based on their system. Over the 6 months wells fargo made an average payment of {$8.00} from the {$120.00} I was paying to the account with {$300.00}. It wasn't until I started incuring interest that they allocated my full payment to the account which then had {$240.00}. Over 6 months I paid {$730.00} and in total they allocated {$52.00} to my account with {$300.00} 6 months no interest. It is important to note I personally had no discretion or option as to how my money was allocated or to what account it went towards. Wells Fargo determined that. I do not believe I should be incuring interest because if I had control I would have paid off my account before it incurred interest, and as the consumer I'd expect my creditor to act in my interest and my behalf, since I was not given a choice.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: FirstCredit, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am repeatedly, for months, contacted by Firstcredit Services. They call nearly every single day, for months, and leave no message about what the call is about. 

Because of the fear of telephone fraud, I don't answer any call where I don't recognize the number/caller, that I'm not expecting, know who the caller is and why they are calling. 

This company never leaves a message about why they are calling. I have no idea on whose behalf or for what supposed debt they are trying to collect. The only reason I know that they are a debt collector is because I looked them up.

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: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, my FICO score on Experian website dropped by XXXX points ( from XXXX to XXXX ). When I checked their site for the reason, it says XXXX of my accounts was reported as XXXX days past due. However it does not say which account it is. I downloaded my detailed credit report from their website and all accounts are in good standing. I have NEVER missed a payment on any account in my life! 

I have made several attempts to dispute this derogatory entry on my report with Experian. Every time, they refuse to help because the credit report does not show the name of the account that is past overdue. I keep going in circles with them and I get no assistance to remove this entry from my report. 

I cross-verified this with XXXX and XXXX, and they do not have any such entry. My XXXXredit score there is excellent ( XXXX ) with all accounts in good standing. 

Since this derogatory remark has severely impacted my credit score, I need to get this removed asap. Can some please help me?
