State: VA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
On the week of XX/XX/2023 I was shopping for a mortgage and multiple hard inquiries were listed on my credit report as a result. I want my score corrected and the hard inquiries removed since I shouldnt have taken multiple hits against my credit score ( with no changes, and decreasing debt ). Ive lost almost XXXX points on my credit score FOR NO REASON since XX/XX/2023. There is a grace period of XXXX days given when people shop for mortgages that I was not given. I want these errors corrected immediately. Additionally, Equifax has made it impossible for me to check dispute results by removing the option for me to view them electronically ( after verifying the account ). I can see everything else and even submit, but if I want results they want me to request by mail or call them. We live in the 21st century and I dont recall them sending me mail or calling me to ask if they could add incorrect entries on my credit report I dont expect to be put through any additional inconvenience by Equifax because I chose to file a dispute.

Complaint:
My accounts have been charged off over 3 years ago however they are still being erroneously reported. 

The accounts are attached to XXXX XXXX for the following amounts : {$14000.00}, {$11.00}, XXXX reporting to XXXX, XXXX and Equifax. 

Reporting to XXXX for {$4300.00} 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ( a ) DUTY OF FURNISHERS OF INFORMATION TO PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION ( 1 ) PROHIBITION ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors 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.

The IRS clearly defines a charge off as Gross or Ordinary, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes your reporting of this account inaccurate! 

By definition the IRS clearly says a canceled or charge off is income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate.

You are PROHIBITED BY LAW to furnish inaccurate information. I demand you to Cease and Desist the reporting of incorrect/inaccurate information immediately.

Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
I had a credit card with Aspire for a year and one month. I have always made my payments on time and whenever I was unable to make a payment on time ( due to COVID-19 and the current financial hardships of this country ) I informed the company well ahead of time. I most recently made two payments in XXXX XXXX XXXX. I received a notification from a credit report app I use in connection with my checking account that stated my Aspire account was closed. I never received a notice from Aspire with a warning that my account would be closed due to it being {$30.00} over the limit. I have never heard of Aspires policy of closing an account that has been over the credit limit for some time. I have contacted Aspire via phone various times in regards to late payments or the status of my account and I was never informed of any of this. Even when I informed them of a payment that would be received late, they never gave me a heads up that this could be a possibility. I contacted Aspire today ( XX/XX/2023 ) and they confirmed the closure of my account and then decided to inform me of the closure policy. They said this account could not be reopened but they could submit a request. I declined the request due to their bad business and my distaste for the lack of communication. I am looking to have this removed from my credit report, as I know this account closure can negatively affect my report and score. Aspire claims I still owe about {$300.00} but I refuse to pay for an account that I will no longer have access to. I made payments in XX/XX/2023 that were completely disregarded and I will not continue to spend my limited money on this company.

Complaint:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all XXXX credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a XXXX party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or XXXX party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back.

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally dispute and bring to your attention several concerns regarding TransUnion 's handling of my credit information, which I believe violates the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( a ) the duty of furnishers of information to provide accurate information under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I have repeatedly requested proof of the verification process for the updated information, especially concerning the unauthorized credit inquiries, and account accuracy, but TransUnion has failed to provide any documentation. This raises concerns about their compliance with the FCRA and their duty to furnish accurate information. 
In light of the above, I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to conduct a thorough investigation into TransUnion 's practices regarding the verification of information and to ensure compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( a ). Additionally, I request the immediate deletion of the unverified and inaccurate information from my credit report. 
I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt resolution. Please find attached copies of relevant documents supporting my dispute.
