Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate and unlawful credit reporting by Experian, XXXX, and XXXX. These credit bureaus are incorrectly reporting five bankruptcy cases on my credit report that do not belong to me : XXXX XXXX. XXXX, filed on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, filed on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, filed on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, filed on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, filed on XX/XX/XXXX Over the years, I have disputed these cases multiple times in writing and by phone with the credit bureaus. However, they have failed to remove them, even though the U.S. Bankruptcy Court confirmed in writing that they do not report bankruptcies to credit bureaus ( letter attached ). Therefore, these accounts are being reported inaccurately and should be deleted.

By reporting adverse information without my consent, the credit bureaus are violating 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which states that " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. '' Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681e requires consumer reporting agencies to " maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations. '' By not maintaining reasonable procedures to avoid false reporting, Experian, XXXX and XXXX are clearly violating this code. 

I kindly request the CFPB 's assistance in compelling Experian, XXXX and XXXX to permanently remove these inaccurate and unlawful accounts from my credit report. Their continued false reporting has damaged my credit. Please contact me if any additional information is needed. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Sincerely,

Complaint:
I paid a {$200.00} ( {$200.00} including fee ) deposit with a tattoo artist on XX/XX/XXXX which I ended up cancelling all appointments before any services were rendered. I then proceeded to call capital one to dispute the transaction and was given a temporary credit while they disputed with the vendor. In late XXXX I received a letter from capital one stating that the vendor had replied and that I needed to provide further documentation to support my claim, at this time the charge was also reapplied to my credit card. On XX/XX/XXXX I uploaded the requested documents to capital one 's website ( signed letter giving my statement and emails from when services were cancelled ). Per the letter I was to received a response in 10 business days but it is XX/XX/XXXX and I still can not get an answer. I've called on at least 7 separate occasions and have been placed on 15 + minutes holds to speak with a supervisor or the agents that I've talked to seem to be fumbling around and can not give me a concrete answer. I've also had the call be disconnected about 3 times and have even tried their chat support only to be told that the " secure connection was lost ''. I've been a long time customer with capital one and have never had an issue, I charge upwards of 25k on this credit card in a year and don't feel appreciated as a customer when a simple {$200.00} charge can't be refunded. I plan on taking this matter to the XXXX next if capital one does not sort this matter out.

Complaint:
Experian insulates themselves from consumers so that there is no way for a consumer to speak with a human on the phone. There needs to be a law that these credit agencies that harvest our personal information without our permission must provide a phone number with a person to speak with to resolve issues. 
I attempted to put a credit freeze on my acct with them and after filling out their online form, got an error message that said " Experian can not honor your request ''. There was no explanation why. They then said I needed to send all of my personal information through the mail to them ( Soc. Sec. number, full name, address, D.O.B, copy of gov, issued Id, copy of utility bill, etc ). This is not information I want getting into the wrong hands. I'm furious that this company is allow to use our ( american citizens ) person information for profit without any accountability. 
So I sent them a written request through the mail to freeze my credit. Instead of mailing me a confirmation that my acct has been frozen as requested, they sent me a credit report??? 
What am I supposed to infer from that? Is it a generic form letter they send to everyone for any inquiry with them, Did someone at experian make a mistake and issue a credit report instead of freezing my credit? I have no idea because Experian will not provide a phone number where the public can speak with a human. I would love to see a class action lawsuit against this company.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I assume due in part to the Covid-19 Epidemic, Citibank has closed my Citi " Thank you '' Master Card and Citi " Costco '' Visa credit card. They are not willing to assist with deferments and are also reporting the month of XX/XX/2020 as being late. 

I called on XX/XX/XXXX and was informed they would investigate. They sent a letter stating that simply they are not able to correct or open my credit card accounts after closing them. They said they would not offer me any assistance because the accounts were closed status. They would not open the accounts, and would not give me good reason, yet they also said I should request such matters through a credit reporting agency, as in XXXX. 

Today I check the status of my credit card on my CBR and called Citibank regarding my Card # XXXX. Citibank informed me that they were not willing to assist with reporting flags as related to the natural disaster as they were not the credit reporting bureau. It has been a circular push from Citibank to send me to the CBR and the CBR is saying they simply reflect what Citibank is  informing them. 

As the world continues to cope with the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, government officials throughout the U.S. have taken important steps to curb the spread of the virus. At the same time, many businesses, financial institutions and government entities are stepping up to provide some relief to those who are worried about their financial security. However Citibank is not. 

Lenders that report data to credit bureaus as required by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ( CARES ) Act will not cause consumer credit scores to go down. XXXX  supports the CARES Act and is urging all consumers who are in financial distress as a result of COVID-19 to contact their lenders and reach an accommodation. Citibank does not accommodate even during a global Pandemic.
