Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Credit Bureaus Failure to Conduct Reinvestigation for Account with XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear XXXX , I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a critical issue with the reinvestigation process on my credit report as mandated by the regulations outlined in 15 USC 1666 ( b ) and 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ). The credit bureau has failed to remove a late payment from my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX DATED XX/XX/year> despite the necessary steps being taken on my part to rectify this incorrect information. 

I recently disputed the presence of a late payment on my XXXX XXXX XXXX account, which has been negatively impacting my credit history. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I have the right to an accurate and fair credit report. After my dispute, the credit bureau was obligated to conduct a reinvestigation into the matter and ensure that any inaccuracies are promptly corrected. 

Despite the statutory obligation, the credit bureau has failed to carry out a proper reinvestigation and correct the inaccurate information on my credit report. This negligence has not only affected my credit score but also compromised my financial well-being.

I request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter urgently and ensure that the credit bureau complies with the regulations stipulated under the law. I am seeking prompt action to rectify this error and restore the accuracy of my credit report. 

Attached to this letter are supporting documents relevant to my case, including copies of correspondence with the credit bureau and XXXX XXXX XXXX. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a swift resolution. 

Thank you for your prompt assistance in this regard.

According to FCRA section 605b it is illegal to report information on my credit report without my permission.

I have contacted Experian multiple times to dispute this inaccurate information and requested verification and correction. Despite my efforts, the credit bureau has not provided proof that these payments were late and has not updated my payment history to reflect the accurate status, Paid as Agreed, Never Late.

This conduct by Experian violates my rights under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), which mandates that credit bureaus must ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information reported. Furthermore, their failure to promptly and fairly address my dispute is in violation of : 15 U.S. Code 1666b of the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) 15 U.S. Code 1666c - Prompt and fair crediting of payments

The items listed below are reported on my personal credit file and were found in my reports with 3 credit reporting agencies. These items were opened fraudulently. Ive informed all parties of the issue & provided the necessary documentation to support my claim. The credit reporting agency ( CRA ) & data furnisher ( DF ) are not complying with federal law in regard to identity theft. Additionally, the credit reporting agency & data furnisher have not provided me with any evidence of an open contract, signed contract, or any valid proof this was opened, authorized, or created by me. Since this is a strict violation of FCRA laws I need the items removed from my file.

I submitted my documents ( application and Hours ) for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX within the time that was allowed for the waiver to include aditional advantages due to covid. 

My information was received by XXXX XXXX and I received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX stating They needed to to confirm information on my application. I called them back and they stated they need to clarify the XXXX numbers of my employers. I gave them the XXXX numbers again and I was told that I would receive notification within the next 2 weeks. I never received any communication from them after that. 

I followed up a few months later and was told by XXXX XXXX that they were in the process of transferring to Mohela and that they could not locate my account. I was told to wait 90 days since I submitted a new application and that my account had been transferred to Mohela. They gave me the number to mohela to follow up with them. I contacted mohela several months after to confirm my application. The stated that they could not locate my account and to call back in about a month as it was likely in the process of being transferred. 

Now it is XX/XX/XXXX, almost a year later. I have spoken with Mohela and my account information submitted to XXXX XXXX is no nowhere on file. They tried several ways to locate it but still have no record of my application I am now being directed to fill out another application and am being told that the deadline for the limited waiver has passed. Somehow my application was lost in the transfer process and Mohela is telling me that there is nothing they can do, regardless of the documents I have from XXXX XXXX stating that they received my information. 
I was told that I was being transferred to a manager to discuss further and after an hour and a half on hold, a customer advocate answered. She told me the same information and directed me to reapply. she also told me that since the deadline was past, I would likely not be granted the waiver.

I was shocked to find inaccurate accounts on my credit report this morning, and I don't understand why they're there. I reviewed my credit report like I normally do, but this time, there were discrepancies that appeared out of the blue. I even refreshed my browser, hoping it was a glitch, but the inaccuracies remained. Because of this issue, I'm requesting a detailed review of the documents I've provided so I can avoid this stress in the future.

I have been in contact with PNC retail banking division from XX/XX/202 re : text messages should I have low funds in my business checking account. From XXXX XXXX the bank has been taking overdraft fees from the business checking account without initiating the text messaging alerts. As of XX/XX/, I have been attempting to reach XXXX XXXX re : case number : XXXX. There has been no response. 

I have been severely impacted by the bank 's refusal to provide an email or call. My rent was delayed in XXXX and I had to use my emergency funds to make payments although late. I had to defer payment on the monthly cell phone bill. These on-time payments in a recession are the key for average consumers to be able to make bigger purchases. If I can not get assistance for such a small action, then I am forced with great reluctance to switch banks and move to banks such as XXXX.
