Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MD)

I previously filed an Identity Theft Report addressed to Experian due to their persistent reporting of an invalid and erroneous account under my name. I marked it as a fraud account because my XXXX account is paid off, as confirmed with the original creditor. I called them personally, and there have been no delinquent payments for the past 5 years of having this account. Any use of my personal information without authorization constitutes fraud and impostor activity, violating my privacy. 

I want to highlight that my date of birth and address on my Experian account were incorrect. I've attached my driver 's license ID and current proof of billing as substantial evidence that the address they reported doesn't match mine. Lastly, please correct and eliminate the misleading and inaccurate report of the account below : Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX

XXXX XXXX is violating fcra and consumers rights. 
This account was closed in good standing prior to any charges that they are claiming. It's closed. Has been. If they have an account when they claim late payments occurred, it's fraudulent. They won't investigate that because I had a previous legitimate account. When I prove them wrong they change dates and re-report. They need to be looked at if it's for a subscription that I didn't order etc. All legitimate charges ever made on this account were paid on time and in full.

Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE (MI)

On XX/XX/2023 a check was sent from XXXX XXXX  from my account to XXXX XXXX {$250.00}. I called the bank the same day and the agent that answered had very poor English and didn't understand what a substitute check was. She advised would forward my information and have someone call me back. Instead of a call she sent me a complaint form to fill out and email back to XXXX XXXX  at email address XXXX. I returned the completed form on XX/XX/2023, I waited 10 days to see if I received a response. I never received a confirmation of receipt or anything in the mail. On the XXXX day I went to XXXX and was advised XXXX called and requested the payment. XXXX was my previous daycare but we've sense terminated our interaction. At the bank the branch Manage insisted that XXXX called and requested the payment, said since I gave them ACH authorization that they could call and request a payment be sent to them in a form of check. I called the daycare and they insist no one has called and I have a XXXX balance. I also asked the bank manager if this was due to the NSF payment that went to my account from XXXX and he advised " no they called in and requested ''. I was very concerned because I cancelled the ACH with the daycare and wondered why XXXX would allow someone to call and just request a payment. They advised me the complaint I submitted was put in the incorrect workflow and they would fix it and I would hear back from them. I gave them another 10 days to respond or refund my money and they haven't done anything as of today. I am now reaching out to you in hopes you can help and help others if this is something XXXX XXXX  allows. 

Lastly, when I went to the bank, they weren't persistent with helping me but trying to insist it was my fault. They wanted me to fill out another complaint as they were trying to get me to date a new one so they could put it into the workflow and get rid of the one they know wasn't handled properly.

I opened 2 accounts with Ally Bank. Both accounts were opened based on an Ally Bank Promotion that if I deposited {$50000.00} I would get a {$500.00} 1 % cash bonus for each account for a total of two {$500.00} bonus payments on each account for a total of {$1000.00}. I did everything required to meet the eligibility requirements and should have received the two {$500.00} payments by XX/XX/2023. I have reached out several times to Ally as I have not received the cash bonus payments and Ally has failed to respond. They are ignoring my requests for resolution. They state they are " researching '' but never follow up and have failed to payout the {$1000.00} that has been due since mid XXXX. It is not right for Ally to refuse to pay a customer a bonus payment when the customer has fulfilled all the terms and conditions necessary to receive the promised bonus. I have all the evidence that proves that I applied for the bonus and completed the requirements.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion 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 TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by XXXX 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 : I made my payment on time in XXXX, XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, as verified by the attached bank statement. 
There was no delinquency on this account, and the reported late payment may have been caused by a clerical or reporting error.

The attached payment confirmation from the creditor further supports my position that the payment was made on time. 

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion 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 XXXX

Consumer complaint received 2023-08-30
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NY)

I have received an updated letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX in regard to the Synchrony Bank/Paypal account , with an updated balance. Previously I have been disputing the amount of the interest that was reflected on the collection notices without explanation or any statements provided. This interest had been added after the account was charged off, the dispute lasted over 6 months and I have not involved CFPB. During the dispute, Synchrony Bank/Paypal and XXXX cashed half of the checks that I kept sending every month and the other half was not cashed. 
However, XXXX and Synchrony Bank/Paypal in the updated letter increased the balance owed. 
After almost a year of complaints and disputes, the interest of {$400.00} that was charged illegally has finally been removed from the balance owed. 
Now they are showing that the amount paid off to this date is slightly over {$500.00}, how is it possible if their own statement from XX/XX/22 a year back showed a balance paid to date of {$780.00}? Yes, back then it was also showing an interest of {$400.00} as a part of the amount owed and that was reflected in the higher amount owed. Now, after the interest was removed and I made payments along the time they reviewed the dispute, the balance owed decreased drastically. But, no!!! 
I have copies of the cashed checks by Paypal/Synchrony Bank for XX/XX/22, XX/XX/22,XX/XX/22,XX/XX/22,XX/XX/22 all in the amount of {$50.00} which totals {$250.00}, I also mailed 4 other checks but during the previous dispute they were never cashed and I had to stop payment on them. Using the following numbers of the previous statements provided, if the balance owed is {$2500.00} and interest of {$400.00} is taken away, it would make the amount owed {$2100.00} then minus the cashed checks listed above in the amount of {$250.00}, it should bring the amount presently owed to {$1800.00}. It seems they are trying to remove the disputed interest, which they can't explain, from the statement visually but quietly adding it to the amount owed on purpose to collect more. Isn't it a violation of the FDCPA? Please I have reached out multiple times offering to settle this debt, but neither XXXX nor Synchrony Bank/Paypal are cooperative, and there is always that is done to increase the amount owed, missing payments, an interest without proper explanation or statements provided showing how it was calculated, inaccuracies that when I am trying to bring them to their attention or asking to review takes months or responded in formal, ordinary letters saying that no error was found which is exhausting and simply disrespectful, unfair and harassing.
