Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: LEXISNEXIS (MD)

XX/XX/XXXX I had sent in a complaint on XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ) to your office regarding the erroneous information in my XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX in which the 3 bureaus are alleging that the information was obtained from the 3rd party Data Furnisher, Lexis Nexis. 
I also disputed the information with Lexis Nexis the Data Furnisher who sent me a letter stating that in accordance to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 } 1681 ), Lexis Nexis filed my dispute with the 3 credit bureaus and on XXXXXX/XX/XXXX this disputed information was deleted from their records. 
I then reached out to the 3 credit bureaus and asked how the disputed information was verified by Lexis Nexis the 3rd party data furnisher when the information had been deleted from my file. My to have this information corrected by the 3 credit bureaus have been ignored and I have not received an updated response since. Not to mention that LexisNexis and the NCRA use their bureaucratic process to justify keeping erroneous information on my credit report. Its evident by the way that LexisNexis sent me a letter on XX/XX/XXXX with the Consumer number XXXX stating that they were unable to fully authenticate my identity and requested that I send in additional information in which I did. In addition, I received 3 letters with the same Consumer number XXXX that states that the disputed information was being removed from my files. Also note that the name in the body of the correspondence that reference CFPB Case # XXXX that I am attaching, is spelled XXXX XXXX which is not my legal name and further shows how erroneous information is being placed in my credit files and I want all traces of the XXXX XXXX  deleted off my 3 credit reports with XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 
This erroneous information has caused me undue hardship financially and slowing up the process of me from getting my security clearance from my employer. This has caused irreparable harm to my credit file and I am requesting that this damaging information gets deleted from my credit files immediately. I am also requesting statutory and punitive damages in the amount of {$3000.00} from all 3 of the credit bureaus XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX for a total of {$9000.00}. This credit reporting system is an unfair system, predatory and life ruining and preventing me from recovering financially from the Covid-19 pandemic. Credit inequality matters. It contributes to the wealth gap. And part of closing that gap is acknowledging and eliminating systems like erroneous reporting of credit information that, intentionally been hindering consumers from becoming financially healthy.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

This credit reporting agency is reporting that I was late on a closed account that I had with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I disputed this, and the credit reporting agencies have ignored my requests. My payments were deferred in 2020 due to covid so how could there be a late payment reporting. I contacted the creditor, and they informed me that none of the credit bureaus have reached out to investigate the account I disputed. How are you reporting in inaccurate account that you have yet to verify when I have informed you that it was incorrect? I am demanding that this late payment is removed, and the account is updated immediately. I have already tried to remedy this so I am expecting an update within 15 days or I will be moving forward with contacting the registered agent to move forward with legal action.

Company: Block, Inc. (VA)

I sent {$300.00} via my cash app, XXXX XXXXXXXX, to my daughter 's cash app, XXXX XXXX, for her summer college classes. The transaction was successful on Cash app, however my daughter 's cash app never received the funds. 
I reached out to XXXX XXXX which is the bank debit card that is linked to my Cash app. They confirmed the transaction was successful. The stated the funds were released to Cash app and they provided an Authorization number to provide to Cash app as proof of successful transaction. The authorization number is XXXX. 
I then spoke to 5 separate individuals with Cash app, all of which disconnected with no resolution. I provided to them a screenshot of my bank account activity, which clearly shows the transaction as well as the authorization number provided by my bank. 
All 5 individuals stated the same thing, that the transaction had been " declined ''. 
The transaction could not have been declined by my bank. My bank already sent the funds to cash app AND they provided the authorization number. 
I am not sure how Cash app can say that it's been declined? I continue to get the run around and constant disconnects so I gave up, because I am at work and I can't continue this all day. 
I would appreciate any intervention and any resolution you may encounter. 

Thank You/Awaiting Yours, XXXX XXXX

Also, XXXX XXXX  has retailiated against me because I raised a dispute with XXXX and XXXX Credit Bureaus and shortly after I disputed the debt ; they immediately filed a law suit against me in XXXX County Magistrate Court which is also a form of discrimination because I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX   female who is also a U.S. Veteran.

I have done several investigations and disputes on my credit reports which caused XXXX XXXXXXXX upon me and found unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items that the Credit Bureaus didn't make sure it was reporting 100 % correct. I also included my Driver license, social security card, and current utility bill with my proof of recent address on it each time as proof it was me. and each time the Credit Bureaus sent correspondence letter stating I or a third party didn't appear to have properly authorized to send in information to them I know for a fact it's a stalling tactic rather than to do a proper investigation and remove all inaccuracies from my Credit reports. Also they'd follow up with correspondence after that each time stating my accounts was properly investigated, but how is that possible if there are several open dates that is inaccurate, Reporting of collection accounts with no names and other inaccurate information along with it, inaccurate Terms on credit accounts, inaccurate payments received along with not reporting all payments in a timely manner, inaccurate pay statues on several accounts, date last reported is not accurate and several dates last active are damaging inaccuracies that are all reporting incorrectly across all three Credit Bureaus. on top of this XXXX failed on several occasions after my mailed in disputes with proper documentation and proof its me for almost 2 years now to remove a said XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy thats reporting an inaccurate Case Number, and its still on my credit report. All of these is grounds for removal, they also violated my rights under 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It Also States a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. 

Yet I have received several responses from all three Credit Bureaus stating, said Companies verified all information reporting to be accurate to them, but when I requested who were those companies, also to disclose to me what proof of each account that was investigated they sent in on my behalf showing my wet signatures connection to me along with my correct personal information to say those said accounts were accurate, and none of the Credit Bureaus would give me that information or make corrections. I have even called and spoke to Managers of all three Credit Bureaus with nothing but refusals to remove inaccuracies along with just reading scripts giving me generic answers, which is also a violation of my Rights to my own personal information.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NV)

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
