Consumer complaint received 2024-09-19
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their continuous failure to address my dispute letters concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MA)

I've tried multiple times over the last month to access the Experian website, in order to get my credit report and place a freeze on my credit. I've put in my information and the verify-by-phone code, and each time I try to verify the website experiences an " issue '' and directs me to call their automated phone line. The automated line puts you into circular automated responses ( trying to send you to the self-service website- therefore cutting down on their cost to employ operators that help people. The automated phone program will not refer you to an operator except for " limited '' reasons ( which are not stated ... and I would venture are non-existent ). So despite any action I take I am unable to access my credit report or put a freeze on my account.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft.

With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MI)

I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Account name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX Balance : {$560.00} Upon reviewing my credit report, I came across an entry that I do not recognize and have no affiliation with.

As a responsible consumer, I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the steps necessary to address inaccuracies and fraudulent accounts on my credit report. According to the FCRA, consumers have the right to dispute unrecognized items within a specific timeframe. 

I kindly request that you initiate a thorough investigation into this matter and provide me with the results of your investigation in writing. If you find any evidence of fraudulent activity or identity theft associated with the aforementioned entry, I urge you to take immediate action to remove it from my credit report and ensure that it does not negatively impact my creditworthiness.

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. 
Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. 
Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a XXXX grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not readd or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

Company: Chime Financial Inc (TN)

On Monday, XX/XX/XXXX I requested a check from the Chime Banking app to be sent to someone for the amount of {$6400.00}. The funds were immediately deducted from my account. The check was sent in the mail the following day on Tuesday XX/XX/XXXX. The receiving party received the check on Wednesday XX/XX/XXXX and deposited the check into their account. Their bank flagged the check as returned on Monday XX/XX/XXXX. After multiple attempts reaching out to chime about this they were not able to provide me with any information as to where the money went. I have been fighting with them on this for over 2 months now with zero progress. All they keep telling me is that the check was " cashed '' which in fact it was not. I have documentation from the receiving party 's bank showing that the check was returned on XX/XX/XXXX. I submitted this to chime and they sent me documentation showing where the check was deposited which I already knew. The check was issued from XXXX  XXXX XXXX, clearly listed on the check, through XXXX XXXX. I went to a local XXXX  branch to speak with the branch manager about tracking down this money and luckily spoke with an account executive named XXXX. She spent approx. 48 hr backtracking through the account to see where the money was. She called me back to inform me that the check was indeed returned and that either Chime or XXXX XXXX has the money. She stated that the money should have been returned to my account however it was not. I am not sure if there is some type of fraud going on with this or someone is lying to me, however, I am now being sued by the receiving party for the total amount. {$6400.00}. I have never felt so helpless in this matter because I can not seem to make any progress resolving this between the two banks and can not afford to just dish out {$6400.00} for absolutely nothing.
