Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CO)

I am writing to formally dispute an error in my credit report. After reviewing my report, I noticed that an account under my name [ Account Number : XXXX ] is reporting a late payment, which is incorrect. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting this discrepancy. 

I would like to clarify that I made all payments on time, including the one flagged as late in XX/XX/year>. Consumer reporting agencies are required by law to report information accurately, and this account has not been delinquent. I am now requesting an immediate investigation of this account. Please provide verifiable proof and records that show a late payment on my account. If no such records can be provided, I respectfully request that this late payment be removed from my report and that my account be updated to reflect that all payments were made on time. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please notify me when the correction has been made or if additional information is required.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me.

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required XXXX  Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

I discovered that some of the information on my credit report was incorrect when I reviewed it. Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) require the 3 credit bureaus to validate these accounts ( A ). It is not permissible to fail to validate these reporting accounts as unverified information without providing any proof within the time frame specified by law. My credit report includes the following erroneous information that needs to be investigated and corrected : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$55000.00}, XXXX XXXX  Balance : {$20000.00}

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 inquiries I didn't consent to and personal information 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. 

Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that I authorized or consented to the inquiries or personal information and proof that I authorized the reporting of this information. If proof can not be provided I demand these inquiries and personal information be deleted. 

Adjust accordingly if there is no inquiries or personal information to be deleted

SO, WE DONT WASTE NO MORE TIME. IM NOT ASKING YOU TO VALIDATE THESE LATE PAYMENTS!

IM TELLING YOU TO PROVIDE ME DOCUMENTATION OF WHO YOU CONTACTED, NAME OF CONTACT, PHONE NUMBER OF CONTACT, DETAILED DOCUMENTATION VERIFYING THESE LATE PAYMENTS.

According to the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( Definitions ; rules of construction ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ), there are stringent requirements for ensuring the accuracy and integrity of information reported on consumer credit files.

15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) outlines the duty of furnishers of information to provide accurate information : 1. Prohibition : ( A ) Reporting Information with Actual Knowledge of Errors : It is prohibited to furnish any information relating to a consumer that the furnisher knows or has reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate.

Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) : Exclusions : Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term " consumer report '' does not include ( A ) subject to section 1681s-3 of this title, any report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report.

Given these provisions, I request detailed documentation verifying these late payments, including : 1. The specific records used to verify the late payments.

2. The identity of the person or entity you spoke to who verified the late payments.

3. Any additional documentation that supports the accuracy of the reported late payments.

It is my right under the FCRA to receive a thorough investigation of my dispute. The information provided must be accurate and verifiable. If the reported late payments can not be adequately verified with documented proof, they must be corrected or removed from my credit file. I want these late payments updated to paid as agreed or OK.

Please respond to this request with the necessary verification documents within 30 days. Failure to provide sufficient documentation may result in further action to ensure my rights under the FCRA are upheld.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: WorldRemit Corp. (OH)

On XX/XX/year>, I sent funds through the XXXX XXXX operated by WorldRemit Corp . While the name I entered was accurate, the phone number was incorrect. Recognizing the error almost immediately, I acted promptly to rectify the mistake. Since there was no option within the app to cancel the transaction, I called XXXX 's support team and initiated an online chat within seconds to request an urgent reversal of the funds. 

Despite my immediate action, I was informed that the reversal process was not possible. This was perplexing because the funds had been transferred to a wallet where the name did not match the phone number. For security purposes, it would make sense for both the name and phone number to align to ensure the safe delivery of funds, and to include an option for users to cancel the transaction immediately. I was advised by support that a supervisor would contact me within XXXX hours. As of today, I have not received a call from a supervisor. 

On XX/XX/year>, I followed up on my urgent request sent on XX/XX/year>. In my follow-up, I reiterated that I had contacted support within seconds of sending the funds due to the lack of a cancellation option within the app, and that I was told that a supervisor would contact me within XXXX hours. As of today, I have not heard from anyone nor received any acknowledgment of my initial email. 

Considering the urgency of this issue and the lack of response from XXXX, I feel compelled to escalate this issue to the CFPB for assistance. The companys inability to address my concern promptly and the absence of a robust security mechanism in their app has caused significant stress and inconvenience. 

Despite my clear and immediate communication efforts, XXXX has failed to provide any viable solution or update on the status of my funds.
