Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

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.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Non-sufficient funds and associated fees
Company: OPTUM BANK, INC. (MD)

I wrote a check to my doctor 's office against my Optum account, which had sufficient funds. My doctor 's office informed me that the check was returned unpaid, and assessed a { {$30.00} } returned check fee. I reached out to Optum three times, asking them to reimburse me for the fee, which was caused by them. They advised that they stopped honoring checks against Optum HSA accounts, but they never gave me notice of this. They have refused to make me whole despite failing to honor my check. I have attached messages with them attempting to resolve this, but they made no meaningful effort to make it right.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

Experian penalized my score because I vigorously attended to my credit to have my credit and credit score correct. My score was XXXX with some debt, but I complained to keep my credit report correct, and Experian dinged my credit score XXXX points, even when I got to XXXX debt, because Experian was angry you had to do your job. I want to exhaust with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau all remedies to redress my grievance with Experian. I will then take it to the next level until Experian fairly treats me, and truthfully and honestly reports my true credit. I will guess this is my last remedy for redress of my grievance with your company, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 

I do have recording of each conversation if you need to have a transcript. 

I called twice to Experian, and I was rudely hung up on further prohibiting me my due process right. This will set up my next remedy in Superior Court.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

I have been trying to obtain a bank account for many years now and I kept wondering why I would get denied by all banks. Until I went to US Bank and they provided a adverse action letter that let me know they were receiving information from Chexsystems. There are two things wrong with this situation and the CFPB really needs to investigate chexsystems for these two mistakes. The first mistake is that I have a freeze on any reporting from chexsystems to be reported about my entity to any financial institution but apparently Chexsystems is still reporting information to bank as I continue to be denied accounts. Secondly Chexsystems is located in Minnesota in which I have my entitiy registered with the Sec of State of Minnesota as a ficticous business so chexsystems should know that this name is Registered to an owner and is not a real live person but is owned by one. This is a clear case of disregard to the rules by chexsystems to provide my report to US Bank although I have a freeze on my report and for not acknowledging that the name XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is registered as a ficticious business name in the state of Minnesota. This is a clear disregard of the FCRA and my private unalienable rights and a violation of my fifth amendment rights to be secure in my private property and paper. Chexsystem obvisiously believes they are above the law and codes of the United States and can do whatever they like.
