Complaint ID: 5190812

Date Received: 2022-02-06

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX Bank continues to report {$400.00} negatively on my credit report despite them admitting that the credit card was incorrect. I had a credit card with XXXX XXXX in XXXX, I paid the card off and cancelled because the verbal abuse I received at the hands of one of their customer associates. Fast forward years later, they have been reporting that I have a card that is paid off as agreed and another one that has been in collections for over eight years?! How?! Why would I get two credit cards from the same company, that verbally abused me??? it is truly absurd and stupid. It was clearly a mistake and I recall calling the customer service line to inform them that I had cancelled the card and didnt have any other card, to which they responded saying that it was recently charged and usedthis was in XXXX. Fast forward to present day and it is still showing up on my account, I asked the Bureaus to dispute this showing that I have reports from XXXX that show the discrepancys ( due to the new dates that somehow keep updating to reflect present dates ) in the dates the card was allegedly opened. As you can see from one report from XXXX and current XXXX report data ; on one repot it shows a date of XXXX on another it shows open/reporting date XXXX! I would never, not in a million years apply for a credit card with XXXX XXXX after being disrespected by their customer service employee. This demonstrates how they and debt buyers would go to extreme lengths to make sure people suffer and dont have opportunities and fair credit reporting.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: I started by sending a letter to the company so that I could verify the validity of this account. I could not verify the account with the information I received. I sent 2 letters requesting this information. I then sent a cease and desist letter, I requested that they not report this unverified debt until I receive the information so that I could verify the validity. Next, I filed a complaint with XXXX. They responded but it did not show any information that showed this was my account. XX/XX/2022, I spoke with XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ( collection supervisor ) about this problem and they were unable to assist me.
