Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian disputing a late payment reported by XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Was Made on Time : Based on my banking records, the payment was made before the due date. I have attached my payment confirmation as evidence. 
Clerical Error : The account in question had no outstanding balance at the time of the reported late payment. Attached are statements showing that the account was in good standing. 
Inconsistent Reporting : The late payment was reported inconsistently across different credit bureaus. This indicates a discrepancy that needs to be corrected. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Experian has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: DigniFi (PA)

The leadership for car put me in touch with Dignifi when I purchased the car for the down payment {$4000.00} I used {$3500.00} they said I had to pay by the next six months after that they will charge me interests on XXXX. I paid {$1200.00} plus the remain {$500.00} for a total balance of {$1700.00}. 
The problem is after six months they accrued my interest and late fees and now stated that my balance is {$970.00} and I owed them {$3000.00}. 
I thought that they will start getting interests this month with the remain balance of XXXX instead of recalculate the interest on the {$4000.00}

How are you? I hope all is well. I am writing to you because I recently reviewed my latest credit report and I found a few negative items that I have NOT confirmed or accepted to be accurate. 

Id like to ensure that you have and ONLY RETAIN current, TRUE, CORRECT, COMPLETE, and MANDATED REPORTED information per FCRA regulations. I DEMAND, as it is my lawful RIGHT ( s ) to do so, that you DELETE all information that is deficient of any condition, mentioned above.

I listed below all the information that I found to be untrue, incorrect, incomplete, untimely, and not verifiable, and unsubstantiated. I have yet to be provided physical verifiable proof that the claims of negativity within my report is true.

Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report.

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity.

Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate.

C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to XXXX, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the XXXX XXXX compliance standards. 

Also as stated in the XXXX Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. 

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards. 

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ XXXX XXXX compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB , FTC and my Attorney General.

I am writing to formally request that you promptly remove any claims that have been reported in a manner that is non-compliant and unfair to me. This correspondence serves as my official consumer complaint, wherein I contest the accuracy of the claims included in your notice and challenge you and any other data repositories involved to provide irrefutable evidence that each claim was made in strict compliance with the mandated Metro 2 Data-filled Field Formatted reporting standards, including the requirements of fairness, truthfulness, correctness, timeliness, verifiability, and validity. While I do not dispute the validity of the claim itself, nor do I acknowledge it, I do have serious concerns about the adequacy of its reporting, given that federal law mandates that any claim must be reported with the utmost accuracy and completeness. 
As per CRRG 3-4, I believe that the integrity of the claims reported by you is questionable at best and therefore potentially unlawful. I respectfully request that you take immediate action to investigate this matter thoroughly and provide me with a satisfactory resolution that upholds the principles of compliant reporting practices and procedures. 
It is imperative that you immediately and permanently adhere to federal and state reporting regulations in a factual and undeniable manner. The XXXX, responsible for creating the manual for reporting standards, has established requirements for compliant reporting practices and adequate, complete, and verifiable data submissions, and concluded that any deviations from these standards jeopardize the integrity of the data. Your reporting practices are questionable and do not meet even the minimal requirements for the privilege to report. You had the opportunity to report in a manner that is certifiably compliant, but your deviations suggest otherwise. As such, I contest your reporting privileges and challenge you to prove each and every aspect of requisite reporting and adhere to all required adequate practices. I demand that you remove from reporting exactly as I have requested immediately.

I am aware that you have been responding to many of the disputes, complaints, and challenges with pre-written standard form letters, despite the precise information consumers have provided. I am well aware that this is ILLEGAL ; as each consumer dispute must be addressed individually and dealt with in accordance with its particular merits.

My letters have written and generated using accessible software that is available to everyone. If you choose not to process or address my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i. And it is against the law to delay the processing of letters from consumers based on the assumption that assistance from a third party may be available. This does not qualify as a legal exception. I am the sole author of any letters bearing my name, or they have been written by my advisors with my complete knowledge and consent. I understand that there is no requirement for you to request a Power of Attorney in order to delay processing consumer letters. If you fail to process my letters promptly, I will consider it as a deliberate disregard for my consumer rights. In such a case, I will be compelled to contact my attorney and pursue legal action.

According to the FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( l ) and the accepted STANDARD of Metro 2 data fild reporting, I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is not correct. It is essential that all data included in a consumer 's file is properly documented and validated before it is made available for use by creditors. Therefore, I take this matter seriously. The allegations of delinquency and derogatory information against me are entirely false, I won't stand for any misinformation being associated with my name and fiancial history and I am determined to FIGHT back with ALL my strength! The accuracy of your credit report is crucial. The allegations listed do not meet the federal or state requirements for reporting and can not be substantiated. I challenge these claims due to their failure to comply with basic reporting standards, which would provide me with greater confidence in the accuracy of the information presented. It is your responsibility to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance. You must not report any claims that you know do not meet regulatory requirements. It is crucial that we ensure all claims are accurate and reported in the appropriate format as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and reporting standards such as METRO 2. I kindly request that you handle this matter with utmost care and diligence.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (TN)

On XXXX XXXX, i called Citibank to transfer balance from my credit Union credit card account for {$5000.00}. Citibank said I could not make the transfer over the phone and I need to call the credit union. So I called my credit Union and made the transfer. But soon afterwards I realized this was not the correct- a payment should not be going to Citibank XXXX but a payment should have been coming from Citibank XXXX So I called my credit Union back to stop/cancel the balance transfer to Citibank, but credit Union said I had to call the member services department on Monday to cancel or reverse the balance transfer. And she assured me that the balance transfer would not be sent right away since it was the weekend. So I called Citibank back and asked again about the balance transfer and Citibank told me i couldn't make the transfer over the phone and had to make the transfer online thru their website. So I made the balance transfer online- {$5000.00} balance transfer to my Credit Union.. So I called my credit Union on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX, to cancel/stop or reverse the balance transfer to Citibank I requested in error. The manager at the credit union said ok, she would have the balance transfer stopped. But about three days later, I saw the balance transfer from the Credit Union posted to my Citibank account. My Credit Union did not stop the balance transfer transaction and did not notify me about my transfer. So I called the manager at Credit Union on Wednesday, XXXX XXXX, and asked her why she didn't cancel my balance transfer. The manager said she couldn't stop an electronic payment. So I said that she should have told me that from the beginning instead of having me believe she could stop it. The manager just apologized and said she didn't know she couldn't stop an electronic payment already in route. So I called Citibank and explained situation and requested they send back the {$5000.00} payment from Credit Union or send me a refund check for {$5000.00}. ( my balance at Citibank was only {$35.00} when they received the {$5000.00} payment from Credit Union ) They said they would investigate and send me a refund, but I received a letter from Citibank on Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX stating that I'm not receiving a refund. I called Citibank again today, XXXX XXXX requesting again the {$5000.00} payment and asking why the letter i received from them denied my refund request. Citibank stated they would investigate.
