Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (DE)

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Freedom mortgage has been double charging me interest escrow and misappling my monthly mortgage payements and refuses to give me proper accounting ( that 's understandable ) and despite several requests has failed to rectify the situation and even now ( an example ) my XX/XX/2015 payment reflects double charges and they claim that that 's proper! I demanded proper accounting of all payments since they took over the loan! Which I got this btoken down stuff that shows entry after entry where they split the payment into multiple things which do n't make sence because I send one check a month which should show total received, interest charges, escrow charged, principal applied, ending principal balance which their accounting it statements they send you CANT UNDERSTAND

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

I have been trying to get Experian to remove inaccurate, false and misleading bankruptcy information from my consumer report and they refuse. XXXX deleted and discharged the inaccurate information, however, Experian continues to report it. Now my consumer reports have inaccurate information and Experian is failing to ensure my consumer report contains accurate information.

Experian also failed to reinvestigate the disputed item which is required by law. They are defaming my character by inaccurately reporting invalidated, unverifiable and questionable information on my consumer report without my permission. They failed to provide me with written proof of the validation of a previous dispute regarding reporting a bankruptcy on my consumer report. I asked for them not to send me a templated response and provide all documentation pertaining to the dispute. I only received a templated response. 

DO NOT CLOSE THIS COMPLAINT. IT IS NOT A DUPLICATE.

I reviewed a copy of my credit report and I noticed that there are unauthorized fraud accounts listed on my report. I have previously reached out to the credit bureau to rectify this affair but they have been negligent in complying with my request. I have provided a copy of a FTC REPORT, California state drivers license, and a copy of social security card. Please use the laws and codes that all credit reporting agencies are bound to follow by law as listed and explained below. I dont take my rights being violated lightly but a serious matter. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies XXXX TRANSUNION and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to XXXX, XXXX, Transunion ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) Never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states '' Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This account is an adverse item they are reporting again without my permission which is against the law. 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 15 U.S. Code 1681e states '' Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. XXXX and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services. 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ) ( ili )

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.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (TN)

I have had an account with 5th/3rd bank for a number of years ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX - XXXX ) and recently have had issues with them holding deposits for an excessive time. First time that happened was a check from retirement over {$10000.00} which I understood a hold even though that caused a sever hardship. This time they are holding a {$3700.00} deposited to account number XXXX that was processed on XX/XX/XXXX. I placed a call to their consumer services number ( XXXX on XX/XX/23 ) and they have stated that the Federal Reserve has put a hold on my check and that there was nothing they could do about that. That I have learned is not true at all from the Federal Reserve. I currently work for a company in XXXX and actually worked for them before the pandemic and used this same institution but eventually was laid off due to XXXX XXXX. I am now back for working for the same company and I deposited my first XXXX ( live ) check thru a XXXX deposit without issue ( XX/XX/XXXX for {$3800.00} and XX/XX/XXXX for {$1800.00} ). This last check processed on XX/XX/XXXX is being held until XX/XX/XXXX and has put me in a hardship position for paying my bills on time. How can I count on the fact that as soon as my direct deposit starts ( probably next week ) will not have a hold placed on it?
