I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

I have provided all four pieces of information and expect these listed accounts to be deleted and blocked within four business days of your receipt of this notice ; otherwise, you are in violation of my rights under the FCRA once again! If you do not initiate an investigation regarding my dispute and delete this information within 4 business days of receiving this notice per 15 USC 1681c-2, as is my right under the FCRA, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Each violation of the FCRA allows for damages of {$1000.00} should this matter be brought to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) essentially states that if a person willfully violates any requirement of the FCRA with respect to a consumer, they are liable to that consumer for any actual damages suffered as a result. If actual damages can not be determined, the consumer can still receive statutory damages ranging from {$100.00} to {$1000.00}. This provision ensures that consumers are protected and have recourse if their rights under the FCRA are willfully violated.

This dispute is based on the following points : I dispute the legality of the repossession process and the subsequent deficiency claim due to non-compliance with proper legal procedures. Under the laws of [ client_state ] and UCC 9-506, as well as State RISA and MVISA statutes, a deficiency can not be claimed unless all required notices were properly and timely given.

This complaint is following an attempt by XXXX in collaboration with XXXX XXXX to defraud a customer for services they did not provide. I had filed a complaint against XXXX  in 2022 for a full refund of the money I paid to them for service that was never received after a representative of XXXX XXXX misplaced the birth certificate of our daughter jeopardizing our planned vacation trip. To add salt to the wound, XXXX did not only refuse refunding the money we had paid to them, they are attempting to ruin my credit by sending the balance to collection. This is nothing short of a mean and heartless set of individuals out to rob united states citizens of their hard earned money and credibility. XXXX, through a collection agency known as JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYST, reported a balance of {$780.00} after withholding over {$1200.00} that should be refunded. This credit reporting has caused damage to my credit score and it is affecting me negatively which goes to buttress the reason for filing this complaint as this is a mean-spirited move by uplift and all involved to further ruin my credit.

I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries made without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry, disclose all communication exchanged, share internal records, confirm identity verification measures, and demonstrate compliance with relevant laws.

Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY. 
The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system. 
I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

For the past couple of months, someone has been using my information to apply for credit and loans, all of which appear on my credit reports. After speaking with the Experian fraud department- which I was only able to reach after calling 5 times - I placed a fraud alert with all XXXX credit reporting agencies. Despite this, multiple hard and soft inquiries were added to my credit report ( XXXX ). At this point, I used Experian to place a credit freeze. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, ( the same day another hard inquiry was reported on my account ), I received an email notice from Experian that my account information had been updated. I did not make these changes. Indeed, someone was able to change the email and phone number associated with my account, so I am no longer able to log in. With access to my account, the assailant is able to lift my freeze and fraud alerts, and continues to apply for credit. 

Experian 's security issues have caused my direct financial harm and requires significant time to repair. Each attempt to contact the fraud department takes at least 5 tries, and I don't have time to do that on a now-monthly basis. I am now delaying plans to apply for a mortgage because of this issue. The fact that their higher-level security monitoring is only available with purchase is unfair, especially considering the credit agencies determine so much of our lives. With evidence of extensive fraud attempts linked to my identity, they should not have allowed this to happen. My credit score has dropped over XXXX points, which has been detrimental to my life plans.

Despite my previous 4 written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. They stated in their responses to my 4 dispute letters that they have verified that the items listed are accurate but they failed to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify these accounts as per my request. The fact that they have ignored my request to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify the disputed accounts is evidence that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts like they said they did. Their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after two written requests is also evidence of their willful disregard of Federal Law.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (GA)

I was advertised a pre-approved offer for a $ XXXX GM XXXX XXXX credit card by Goldman Sachs. I was told that I must submit a state ID to finalize my approval. 

Goldman Sachs received my documentation both via the " upload documents '' section of their own website and also in a complaint made on CFPB.gov ( XXXX ). 

In both instances, Goldman Sachs knowingly and willingly made false statements stating " Unable to verify identification information '' in regards to my credit card application which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1611. 

Goldman Sachs has the ability to use other methods outside of using my state-ID to verify my identity, including sending a 6 digit code to a phone number in my name, or asking me multiple choice security questions in accordance with public record, but has chosen not to do so, although federal law requires them to! 

Goldman Sachs falsely stated " The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank error occurred. As stated in previous responses, and according to the Bank 's records, the Consumer submitted the most recent application on XX/XX/2023. As part of the application process for the GM XXXX XXXX, the Bank conducted a review to research any red flags identified and to verify the identity of all applicants. '' No investigation occurred, the documents requested were sent to Goldman Sachs and obviously have not been reviewed, or the person reviewing the documents has poor eyesight.
