Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (KY)

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX, XXXX and Equifax for their failure to remove an inaccurate collection account from my credit report, despite multiple attempts on my part to resolve the issue. 

The account in question is held by XXXX XXXX XXXX, This account, was inaccurately reported on my credit report dates XX/XX/XXXX. I have never had any dealings with XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXXXXXX XXXX, and this account does not belong to me. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a dispute letter to a ; ; aforementioned credit agencies requesting the removal of this erroneous account. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I provided documentation proving that this account was incorrect. Despite this, they failed to remove the account, instead choosing to maintain this inaccurate information on my credit report. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, after the CRAs initial refusal to delete the account, I sent a second, more urgent dispute letter. In this letter, I reiterated my demand for removal and referenced the specific section of the FCRA15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) which mandates a reinvestigation of disputed information within 30 days. I clearly outlined that if the account was not deleted within 15 days, I would escalate the matter by filing formal complaints with your agency and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). 

Unfortunately, as of XX/XX/XXXX, the CRAs have failed to comply with its obligations under the FCRA. Given the continued presence of this inaccurate information on my credit report, I believe that both XXXX XXXX XXXX and the CRAs are in violation of federal law, specifically the provisions designed to protect consumers from the damage caused by incorrect credit reporting. 

This inaccurate information has adversely affected my credit score and could potentially cause further financial harm. The negligence displayed by both XXXX XXXX XXXX and the CRAs is unacceptable and has forced me to take this matter to your agency. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to address this issue. I seek the removal of the erroneous account from my credit report and a full investigation into the practices of both XXXX XXXX XXXX and the CRAs concerning this matter. Additionally, I request that any negative impact on my credit score resulting from this error be rectified. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (MD)

Shortly after being approved for and receiving an XXXX Credit Card by XXXX XXXX, it was blocked and placed in a restricted state. They did not at any time notify me that there was any problem, I found out when scheduled charges were getting denied. 

After many support calls and literally hours on the phone with people absolutely refusing to tell me what was wrong, I found out that they had marked me as pending deceased. I was not offered any way of proving that I am alive other than waiting for them to investigate further. 

Eventually I was connected to their fraud department and they requested copies of my personal bank statements to prove that I am not dead, which I find highly irregular and personal. To this date, my card is useless and I have no idea when they will finish investigating my supposed death, who is investigating me, or even why. 

Chat support says I have to talk to phone support. Phone support says I have to chat support. Nobody will take responsibility or give me any information.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IN)

My social security on my XXXX credit report is incorrectly listed. There are two social security numbers showing the last four digits, which are both incorrect. 

There were three credit cards ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX ) opened under my name without consent or authorization. I have disputed each on all three credit reports without success. I have notified the Credit Card companies without success. I am a XXXX retired widow living on a limited income. I receive XXXX benefits and can not afford to accrue credit card debt. 

I've put a freeze on all three credit bureaus and have filed multiple disputes. I'm informed these dates are accurate, so it does not appear I have any recourse. These charges have caused me anxiety and distress, which exacerbate symptoms of my physical health issues. 

I am asking for support and assistance to have these unauthorized credit cards removed from all three credit reports. Thank you

I reported to Carecredit that I was not receiving a bill and therefore was unable to make payments on the account. After receiving several fraud alerts from a credit monitoring service, I realized they were reporting negatively to the credit bureaus. It took several months for them to remedy the situation and they admitted that part of the problem was that they were outsourcing these customer service calls to call centers out of the country, therefore creating a language barrier which resulted in incorrect mailing address information being updated to my account, resulting in the mail delivery problem. 

Synchrony Bank promised to remove the delinquencies from my credit reports, but have not done so. My end of the bargain was to bring the account current and continue making regular payments on time so long as I received a bill. I have done this.

We are able to make our monthly payments which we have been doing we just need to catch up on the 4 months were back and would like to add to our monthly payments over 6 months to do so.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (IL)

Ally Bank changed the limits for transferring money via XXXX without notification. The new {$500.00} limit is unreasonably low for an account in good standing, and no advance notice was provided. This last-minute change is preventing my from paying my rent on time -- with potentially severe consequences of fees/penalties, inability to renew/extend my lease, or in a worst case eviction for missing the payment. 

For multiple years, I have leveraged Ally Bank 's XXXX money transfer functionality to pay my rent. I have kept the same dollar amount of {$1400.00} on the same day of the month with no complaints or issues. 

However, today I received an automated email from Ally " We canceled your payment to [ name removed ] because : You have exceeded the acceptable number of payments or amount of money that could be sent within a certain time period. '' This was the one and only record of this change I could find. If I had received advance notice I would still have been inconvenienced, but could have at lease made other arrangements. 

In fact, three days prior to this cancellation I received an email from Ally " RemindeXXXX : Your next payment to [ name removed ] will be processed in 3 days '' with the full details including the dollar amount. 

I called an Ally representative and they were unable to provide information as the reason for this change, or sufficient alternate options such as the ability to my account to be approved for higher limits.

I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in a Experian & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can be can get sued for these damages. This is negatively effecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately!
