Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

I Received a letter from TRANSUNION advising that they " verified '' the information. i am curious as to how you verified information and would like to receive physical documentation to support this erroneous information. 
TRANSUNION has been reporting Unverified and inaccurate information on my credit report which has damaged my credit. 
TRANSUNION is " updating '' or " verifying '' information again without diligence information. i sent 6 round letters still Hasn't seeing any changes while there's multiple errors on my report am asking for this verification because my credit score is important to me and i believe it is being unjustly degraded as a result of unfortunate error.

I recognize the significance of eliminating any erroneous entries from my credit report, as required by FCRA 605B. Would you mind examining the documents? I've identified several accounts that appear to be inaccurate, and this is troubling to me.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: Chime Financial Inc (GA)

On XXXX XXXX a check in the amount of {$1200.00} was mobile deposited. 
on XX/XX/2022 the check was cleared in my bank. 

On XXXX XXXX the check was returned from my bank account. The reasoning per Chime was duplicate presentment. 

This check was an XXXX payroll check and after reaching out to XXXX on 3 occasions and getting a copy of the check we realized the check was never cashed again. I have asked Chime to provide me with the copy of the check they stated they had to prove it was cashed but nothing. 

I have emailed them over 20 times in the last 60 days this has been going on. I have provided them with everything needed. Every reply I get from Chime in email is either asking me if this is still a problem or how it is being escalated to the dispute team. 

This is not just a few dollars that was taken. I have literally spoke with XXXX weekly in hopes the money was returned but it wasn't. XXXX does not usually receive returns and if they did it should have legally been no later than XXXX XXXX for the funds to get to them. This is well over the 10 business days they have to return funds. 

I am at my wits end because this has put me behind in bills and my family. Please let me know what else I can do to get my money back.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (WA)

Experian is stating that the bankruptcy on THEIR credit report is accurate and verifiable. However, no other credit reporting agency has this bankruptcy on my report because they were unable to verify it or prove that it was accurate. I have asked Experian for the information on how they are verifying this bankruptcy, one that no one else can seem to do. On the Experian website, it is posted in the section for submitting a dispute online, which clearly states that they use XXXX XXXX to verify personal records. XXXX XXXX has sent a document to me showing that they CAN NOT VERIFY the bankruptcy, and removed it from my credit report, just like the others did. So again, how is Experian verifying this? And why are they going against XXXX XXXX when they have told them that they are unable to verify the bankruptcy information? The information I get from Experian is that the " company '' is assuring them that this bankruptcy information is correct. However, the company listed is the courthouse. The courthouse has on its website clear as day that they DO NOT REPORT bankruptcies nor do they verify that information for anyone. A person must go through their portal, XXXX, to verify the information for themselves. So AGAIN, how are they verifying this information? XXXX XXXX clearly states in their letter to me that they used the XXXX portal and still came up with the bankruptcy being unverifiable. Please see attached letter for evidence of this.

In XX/XX/year>, I ordered a purse online from XXXX. It was taking a long time to get to me and appeared to be held up by USPS. I contacted XXXX and asked if I could cancel the order. They said " no '' but that I could refuse the package when it arrived ro return to sender. I was not at home when it arrived so I did a return to sender. This can easily be verified by looking at the tracking. 
I started checking my account for refund progress. When the refund wasn't showing up, I started contacting customer service via their contact us/chat feature. I spoke with several reps over the next 2 months who all assured me that they could see where I returned the purse and that my card should be refunded in 3-5 days. It took 2 MONTHS! They finally refunded my card. but because it too so long, I got a late fee added to my card. How can I get a late fee added for a return???? I started contacting customer service again. It took a month to get the late fee removed. 

So they removed the late fee in XXXX but turned me into the credit agencies, causing my score to drop almost XXXX points, going from excellent to good. This is unacceptable. It was a RETURNED item. How can there be a late fee on an item I returned almost as soon as I received it???? There was nothing else charged to the card. That returned item should have been refunded back to my card in a timely manner. XXXX XXXX did not do that, causing a late fee. 

I disputed it, and XXXX denied any wrongdoing. The only conclusion I can come up with is they didn't bother to look into it, because it is obvious, I am not at fault here. Please fix this ASAP. I have had excellent credit for years and I don't want to have to hire a lawyer to get that back. It shouldn't come to that.

This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

To whom it may concern : I just checked my credit and found some inaccuracies. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 611 of FCRA you have a responsibility of promptly deleting any information which is inaccurate or incomplete so it doesn't get reported in my report! This is my understanding as well. It's important to note that under the FCRA, even if an account has only been speculated upon or never confirmed in any waythe burden falls on you ( the credit bureau ) to provide evidence of its veracity before it can be placed on my credit report.

" 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "
