" 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 "

I think FCRA 605B obliges us to eliminate any incorrect accounts from my credit report. Could you examine the documents? There are some accounts listed with inaccurate reporting, amounts, and dates.

I OBTAINED ANOTHER COPY OF MY CREDIT REPORT AND NOTICED ANOTHER ACCOUNT THAT I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF HAS BEEN ADDED TO MY ACCOUNT. I CONTACTED THE CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES BY PHONE AND CERTIFIED MAIL. I REQUESTED THAT THE ACCOUNT BE VERIFIED, AND THIS ACCOUNT IS UNVERIFIABLE BUT STILL BEING REPORTED TO MY CONSUMER PROFILE. 

I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS CREDITOR AND HAVE NOT GIVEN WRITTEN CONSENT FOR THIS TO BE FURNISHED WHICH IS IN VIOLATION OF 15 USC 1681.

FURTHERMORE, REPORTING ACCOUNTS DUE TO IDENTITY THEFT IS IN VIOLATION OF 15 USC 1681 C-2.

REPORTING FRAUDULENT ACCOUNTS IS SEVERELY IMPACTING MY CREDIT AND THE CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF REPORTING MAXIMUM ACCURACY. REPORTING AN UNVERIFIED ACCOUNT IS IN VIOLATION OF 15 USC 1681 EB

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (AZ)

On XX/XX/2023 I made a payment to XXXX Ads in the amount of {$1000.00} via XXXX, carefully selecting my XXXX XXXX as the funding source. When I logged into my Wells Fargo Checking account the following day I noticed I was overdrawn by over {$600.00} and charged an overdraft fee of {$35.00} for the {$1000.00} transaction that was only authorized to be charged to my XXXX XXXX. I immediately called XXXX to inquire about the incorrect charge and was advised that the XXXX XXXX declined the transaction so they automatically charged the bank account ( Wells Fargo Checking account ) I had on file, which I solely use to accept deposits from business sales. The customer service representative stated that if a credit card is declined they automatically charge a " backup '' account, which they stated was the Wells Fargo Checking account. I have never been presented with any sort of disclosure or information stating that I've designated my checking account as a backup account. XXXX should have just declined the charge and informed me that the charge was not approved. 

Unfortunately Wells Fargo posted the transaction immediately and I wasn't able to put a stop payment on the charge so I had to file a dispute to have the charge removed, which takes XXXX business days, meanwhile my Wells Fargo Checking account is maintaining a negative balance and they continue to post ACH debits, causing me to incur now five overdraft fees, digging the hole even deeper. I am not allowed to speak directly to the claims processing team to get the charge reversed immediately. I'm told I have to wait, with my account exposed. The banking side at Wells Fargo will not allow me to freeze my checking account to stop the bleeding while they take 2-10 business days to make their decision. All of the deposits that automatically flow into that account are being evaporated by the overdraft fees that continue to rack up. 

HOW IS THIS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN? I have absolutely NO control over my money or how it's spent. Please look into this, both in regard to XXXX failing to disclose or clearly notate on the account dashboard their policy to run multiple accounts after me only authorizing one single account for a charge, and also please look into this issue with Wells Fargo letting my checking account bleed out of control for 2-10 business days while waiting for a decision, not a refund guaranty, but just a decision. All the overdraft fees that have occurred should they decide not to refund the charge will be my responsibility while I have no choice but to sit here and let my account bleed out. 

This is NOT okay.

XXXX was not the original creditor but acquired the loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX whom was shut down. The credit union was shut down abruptly due to their negligence and not following laws pertaining to loan qualifications and fraudulent transactions within their company. This affected many consumers as they were shut down without consumers having any notice. There was no way to pay on the loans and nobody informed consumers for the longest time as to what happened with the loans or where to make further payments. This put a hinder on my credit and as time went by with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX being closed and not knowing where to make payments etc and the fraudulent activity made by the credit union had my account balance building up quickly and past due amount built up to where being so far behind was hard to catch up. State bridge acquired this account knowing the circumstances as it affected many people. They reported negative information on my credit report once they acquired the account. I feel that this was not fair to have these negative remarks due to unfortunate circumstances caused by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and their fraudulent behaviors. This has hindered me in moving forward financially from this situation. I should not be punished and I have reached out and made a claim against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX but now that state bridge inherited these accounts I need state bridge to make this situation right on their end.

XXXX XXXX is willfully reporting misleading and inaccurate information.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (PA)

I the natural person am writing this complaint on behalf of myself and no other. Congress makes the following findings that an elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation of consumers. I recently applied for an increase on my navy federal cashrewards visa account and was denied. Navy federal then furnished an adverse action letter stating on the front that I have reached navy federal 's maximum unsecured credit limit. Which is false because my sister has $ XXXX limit. Adverse means ill will, opposed to, contrary interest. I the consumer have an unlimited open end credit plan. I know the truth when I enter into a credit app. Navy federal is acting adverse to administer myself credit to make them a creditor and extend myself my own credit. Navy Federal is acting with an ill will they are being hostile, deceitful, and fraudulent towards me. When I first applied for the card they pulled from XXXX. Why did they switch up? Why not ask me who I rather them pull from? They then went on to say that the credit reporting agency played no part in their decision. When I turn the adverse action letter over it than states my credit score and key factors that adversely affected my score all from XXXX. The reasons they have listed are serious delinquency, length of time accounts been established, too many accounts with balances, and lack of recent bank revolving information. to the illegally furnished information that XXXX is reporting without my consent I was denied. Navy federal denied me because of nonpublic information that they purchased from XXXX whom humiliated me and got denied. Where did XXXX get this information from they need to tell me who are the neighbors and family members they interview to get this information. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681d ( d ) ( 3 ) CERTAIN PUBLIC INFORMATION IS PROHIBITED. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681d ( d ) ( 4 ) consumer reporting agencies shall not prepare or furnish certain adverse information. No where in the FCRA does it state that you need a credit score to get an increase. Navy Federal and XXXX is now civilly liable for negligent noncompliance.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally complain about the failure of TransUnion to properly investigate my recent requests to correct issues on my credit report. Despite submitting both factual disputes and Metro 2 compliance disputes regarding inaccurate reporting, I have only received generic letters from your agency stating that the information has been verified as accurate. This response is inadequate and does not address the specific inaccuracies I have identified.

The credit bureaus keep disrespecting the laws. I showed them multiple times of how they are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

According to 15 USC 1681 ( 5 ) the credit bureaus have to modify or delete accounts that are not reporting accurately According to 15 USC 1681b ( 1 ) the credit bureaus don't have no written premission According to 15 USC 1681 1 have the right to privacy According to 15 USC 1681s-2 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.

( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if- ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate : and ( it ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate.

I can go on and on The credit bureaus have no respect for the laws. 
Someone needs to hold them accountable for this.
