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

Consumer Complaint: Recently, I did an investigation on my credit report which caused severe XXXX upon me and found unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items that your agency didn't make sure it was reporting 100 % correct. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report and Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) these accounts are in violation of not reporting 100 % accurate. The credit reporting agencies stated that these accounts were properly investigated and came back as verified. However, how is this true when there are several inaccuracies showing on my report? As a consumer, I request to know all the steps your agency took to insure these items were 100 % accurate under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 7 ) Method of verification- Description of reinvestigation procedure.

Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Can't close your account

Consumer Complaint: I completely paid off the balance shown and closed the account on XX/XX/XXXX. According to their customer service, a {$2.00} late fee was charged to the account after I already paid off the entire balance shown. Due to paperless statements in order to see this I would have had to logon to the account to see this new charge. Since I closed the account I never thought to go look for charges after the fact. Therefore more late fees got charged on top of the {$2.00}. I did not realize this till now when it is at {$6.00}. They refused to take the charges off the account even though I would have never known this charge was accumulating after I paid off the account and closed it. This is ridiculous. Once an account is paid and closed there should not be more charges added. The {$2.00} late fee should have been included in the balance when I went to pay off the account.

Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I logged into my XXXX Credit Card account issued through Commenity Bank to pay my bill. I noticed my available credit was at XXXX. I then had to go back through my monthly statements to find my account was closed on XX/XX/XXXX of this year. I sent a message to customer support to see if this was actually the case, and if it was not, to have a new card issued as mine was expired. I was given the run around for a few days before being told to contact a supervisor. I contacted a supervisor on XX/XX/XXXX who told me that there were no notes on my account about account closure and as far as they could tell, the account should not be closed. I was then told that this would be escalated and I should receive a call back within 7-10 business days ; this did not happen. Today, on XX/XX/XXXX, I called customer support again, on the 11th business day, to inform them that I had not received a call back, and to address the issue of a lack of Adverse Action Notice being send, as is required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and they informed me that their notes said someone did call on XX/XX/XXXX, however, there was no recording made, meaning nothing was recorded as a phone call, or voice mail, and I have no record of this call in my call logs, seeming to imply a note was made without actually attempting to contact me. Nobody can prove this call was made beyond the note. This supervisor also reiterated what the first had said : there we no notes on the account about account closure, and she can't see a reason as to why it was, and doesn't see any notes about Adverse Action Notices being send, or any documentation on the account for that matter. This supervisor contacted her boss, who without speaking to me, just relaying it through the supervisor I was talking with, that it was up to the banks digression as to when to close an account. While this is correct, this is not the issue I was calling about, and I reiterated that I had not received an Adverse Action Notice notifying me of account closure within 30 days as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This supervisors boss once again ignored the statement to reiterate that account closure was at the digression of the bank, and ceased contact with me. The supervisor I was still in contact with apologized, at which point I told her that an apology was not good enough, they are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, their action has negatively impacted my Credit Score, and there were damages, some form of remediation needed to be made. I was told that they could request a call back, but my account could not be reopened, and no form of remediation was made availble.

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

Consumer Complaint: The existence of a derogatory rating on my account is causing me significant concern. I am deeply worried about its potential impact on my credit. It has already resulted in the denial of a recent loan application and an increase in the interest rates on my existing credit accounts. I want to emphasize the severe financial and emotional distress that this negative rating has caused me and will continue to cause until it is resolved.
