Complaint:
I am here again to express my extreme concern and frustration with the reporting of an account on my credit file that does not belong to me. The XXXX XXXX XXXX account, with the account number XXXX and an open date of XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, is being inaccurately reported on my credit file, causing undue distress and XXXX I have already taken the necessary steps to dispute this account with other credit bureaus, who have acknowledged the error and have promptly removed it from my records. It is perplexing and disheartening that your bureau has not followed suit. I am a victim of identity theft, and it is essential that credit bureaus comply with reasonable requests to ensure accurate reporting. I demand that you conduct an immediate and thorough investigation into the accuracy and validity of the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX account on my credit report and take the necessary steps to rectify the error promptly. I am the primary complainant in this matter, and I hereby grant full authority to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to thoroughly investigate and address this claim.

Complaint:
So I pulled my credit report XX/XX/. Upon reviewing my consumer report I noticed a huge amount of inaccuracies on my report. I reached out to XXXX XX/XX/. I reached out to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/. I reached out to XXXX on XX/XX/. I sent them all a copy of my report with the highlighted inaccuracies and all three bureaus sent me a letter back saying that the accounts were verified or updated, but they did not correct or delete the inaccuracies which is causing me severe hardship, .mental anguish, and XXXX! I also informed them that they are breaking the law!!! According to FCRA { 15 U.S.C. 1681 }. I am demanding that this information be removed immediately! Pursuant to U.S.C. 1681 ( A ) ( B ) They did not meet the needs of commerce because this is not fair and equitable to me regarding confidentiality, accuracy or relevancy. The information is not accurate! This information is not accurate. If these transactions even took place, they should have been confidential so you in fact violated my right to privacy. You are in violation of Pursuant to U. S. C. 1681 ( D ) ( 2 ) ( a ) if this was a factual transaction, ( which you should not know because you were not there ) then this should not even be reported because the FCRA states that transactions placed solely between the consumer ( me ) and the person making the report and IT SHOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM MY CONSUMER REPORT. Pursuant to U. S. C. 1681 ( B ) Did I give permissible purposes?? A credit report should only be filled with written instruction from ( the consumer to with whom it relates ). They are all violating my rights by reporting these false transactions. Since these inaccurate items have not been removed I am filing this complaint and my next step is going to congress. They sent me a letter that said verified but they furnished no contracts with my ( the consumer ) signatures! I have attached a letter with highlighted inaccuracies! I have also attached a copy of my dl, ssc and proof of address along with there responses to me.

Complaint:
It is with great frustration and bewilderment that I address the handling of this issue by your bureau. The account in question is with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, bearing the account number XXXX and an open date of XX/XX/2020. Astonishingly, despite being the victim of identity theft, and despite the corrective actions taken by other credit bureaus, your bureau continues to report this account incorrectly. I must emphasize that the other major credit bureaus, have promptly acknowledged and rectified the inaccuracies related to this account. However, I am deeply puzzled and annoyed by the persistent reporting errors on your end. I want to make it explicitly clear that your bureau lacks sufficient information to verify the accuracy of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account. As such, continuing to report this account without validation is not only erroneous but also a violation of my rights as a consumer. I withhold my consent for electronic communication and explicitly request that all responses be conveyed in written form through the United States Postal Service ( USPS ).

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern : I recently received a copy of my ( TransUnion ) credit report, and I noticed that you are still reporting a medical collection under the {$500.00} threshold. Starting in 2023, medical collections tradelines less than {$500.00} will no longer be reported on consumer credit reports. Medical bills under {$500.00} are significantly more likely to remain on a credit report for longer than medical bills over {$500.00}. For patients and families who have only relatively small outstanding medical bills, the {$500.00} threshold could mean a large reduction in coercive credit reporting.

Credit Bureaus are required to verify the information and status of the account being reported on my Credit Report. But in my case, Experian has kept reporting the disputed account claiming that the information they present is accurate, with which I greatly disagree.

Experian shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first 5 digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information.

Complaint:
Since at least XX/XX/2023, Ally Banks website has not permitted customers to change or cancel scheduled transfers ( e.g., a transfer from an individuals primary checking account to Ally Bank, or vice versa ). As a result, unauthorized transfers have been made, customer accounts have been overdrawn, etc. Ally is aware of this issue and claims to be working to resolve it, but they have not provided any ETA on a resolution. Nor have they notified customers or included a notice on their website explaining the issue. Until the issue is resolved, customers only option is to contact Ally customer service and ask them to cancel the scheduled transfers. Because of the issue, customer service hold times are steadily increasing, Ally Bank is an online savings institution. It is completely unacceptable if their website is nonfunctional for one day yet here we are, going on XXXX weeks. Providing customers full control over their deposited funds is the bare minimum a bank should be required to do.

Complaint:
My ex-wife and I had a loan through Santander for a vehicle. When we divorced, I received the vehicle. I discovered that my ex-wife took out a loan on the car, which added to my car loan payments. Since I refused to pay her loan and Santander refused to remove the loan from the car note, I surrendered the vehicle to Santander. The vehicle was sold at auction. I then received correspondence from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX on behalf of Santander to settle the remainder owed on the vehicle. Although I still did not want to pay for a debt that was not fully mine, I took the settlement offer and paid it off, documents attached. 
I am continuing to get threatening phone calls from collections agencies on behalf of Santander telling me that I am being sued and this is goign to litigation. I already paid what they asked for.

Complaint:
More evidence of unfair collection practices by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IN XXXX From : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, simply by virtue of their profession, are especially susceptible to claims under the FDCPAs general prohibitions against using false, misleading, and unconscionable means to collect a debt. There have been a number of recent complaints in and around the 7th Circuit against attorney debt collectors, which allege violations of 1692e and 1692f by sending form debt collection letters that falsely imply the attorney has meaningfully reviewed the case. See e.g., Knack-Toms v. Meyer Njus Tanick , PA 345 F. Supp. 3d 1033 ( N.D.I.L Nov. 2018 ), see also, Bucholz v. Meyer Njus Tanick, PA, 2018 WL 4625740 ( W.D. Mich. Sept. 2018 ). These plaintiffs cite Avila v. Rubin for the proposition that a delinquency letter from an attorney conveys authority and implies that the attorney supervised or actually controlled the procedures by which the letter was sent. 84 F.3d 222, 228-29 ( 7th Cir. 1996 ). Instead of challenging the substance of the attorney debt collector letter, the plainiffs attorney generally allege that because ( 1 ) the letter was sent by an attorney debt collector on attorney letterhead that the attorney must have meaningfully reviewed/analyzed the debt and ( 2 ) because the collection letter is a mass-produced template letter which has an indiscernible signature that no meaningful attorney review has occurred which makes the letter a false, misleading, and/or unconscionable attempt to collect the debt in violation of 1692e and 1692f of the FDCPA. '' This is exactly what XXXX XXXX does and has been doing for 17 years. A misleading letter from an attorney with no signature.
