I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: GOLDEN 1 CREDIT UNION, THE (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I obtained my monthly updated credit report from XXXX XXXX. I noticed an inquire from Golden one credit union dated XX/XX/XXXX still posted on my XXXX credit report. I had previously tirelessly repeatedly disputed this with Golden one back. Informing its agents and managers that the agent who assisted me during the date prior to inquire instructed me to complete a client form in order to assist me, otherwise they could not assist. I was also assured that it was not going to post any inquire on my credit report as I was only seeking information on home purchasing. The agent explained the form was required to show the number of customers assisted regarding the subject matter. I did not authorize this agent nor Golden 1 credit union to make such an inquire to my credit. An inquire which caused a 30 point drop of my credit score. I was lied to and mislead by the Golden one credit union employee. I only wish this inquire removed. This is financial abuse and financial harassment.

The info in my credit reports is wrong, making it hard for me to get new credit. When I apply for credit, the errors confuse lenders and paint the wrong picture of my creditworthiness. 

These mistakes seriously harm my financial reputation. So, I formally ask for them to be corrected and removed from my reports. It's crucial that my credit file shows my real financial status for fair assessments by lenders.

Complaint Regarding Credit Report Inaccuracies Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. I have been actively disputing these inaccuracies with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to adequately investigate my claims or remove the incorrect information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I attached the PDF file below containing the list of items that have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681.

Credit Bureau stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify or delete accounts that aren't reporting correctly. 

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) 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. 

I also believe that the credit bureaus have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to : 1. Investigate my disputes in a timely and reasonable manner : The credit bureaus have not provided a clear explanation for their decision not to remove the inaccurate information, and I believe their investigation was inadequate.

2. Furnish accurate information to creditors : The inaccurate information on my credit report is harming my ability to obtain credit and other financial services.

3. Follow the FCRA 's dispute resolution procedures : The credit bureaus have failed to comply with the timeframes and procedures outlined in the FCRA. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate my complaint and take the following actions : 1. Order the credit bureaus to remove the inaccurate information from my credit report. 

2. Require the credit bureaus to provide me with a copy of my updated credit report reflecting the changes. 

Enclosures : Copies of my credit reports Copies of my dispute letters Copies of any supporting documentation I provided to the credit bureaus

Around XX/XX/XXXX, i added three authorized users ( " XXXX '' ) to my american express platinum card. this is a service that used to cost XXXX to add XXXX XXXX. i got two of the cards on the mail, but never recieved the third card. I didnt have an urgent need for the card, so i decided to wait until the card arrived, but it never did. on XX/XX/XXXX, I finally got tired and called to get a replacement. The replacement card got delivered to my apartment on the XXXX. However, when I tried to activate it on the XXXX, I received an error message. I called in, and I was told the card had been cancelled, since the XXXX 's social security was not added to the account. I explained that I didn't have the card yet, and that I would not feel comfortable providing that until I had the card, and that no one told me I had to add the SSN soon when I called in. Amex informed me that the XXXX card had been cancelled, and that I would have to pay {$190.00} to get that XXXX added, since their policies changed. I had requested the XXXX with the previous policy, and never had the card delivered, it was cancelled on me, and now they are asking me to pay {$190.00} for an XXXX. When I applied for that XXXX the policy was different, but they are trying to apply the new policy on me. Since they did not provide the card on time, this feels like a bait and switch for them to now ask me to pay {$190.00} to add the XXXX they didn't deliver the card for.

On XXXX XX/XX/2023 I received a credit monitoring notification that a collection agency ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) had reported an account attributable to me to TransUnion. This is despite me maintaining active fraud alerts on all my credit reports. 

I immediately informed TransUnion that I had no knowledge of this account and have never done business with XXXX XXXX XXXX or the claimed creditor ( XXXX XXXX ). I have absolutely NO DEBT and I do not owe either of these entities {$10000.00}. 

Furthermore, I never received any written, oral or electronic correspondence from this collection agency, who has violated the law by reporting this false information to a consumer credit reporting agency ( U.S.C. 1006.30 ( a ) ( 1 ), debt 'parking '. This collection agency has yet to make contact with me about this purported debt. 

I submitted this dispute to TransUnion ( by certified mail ), who soon after claimed that its investigation 'verified ' that the data was accurate, and reflective of my 'educational ' debt. Furthermore, it even associated 'updated ' the incorrect information to strengthen its association with my personal credit file. 

My student loans have been paid for years, and this has been reported by all major credit bureaus ( including TransUnion ). 

I have since re-submitted the dispute, with extensive additional documentation ( attached to this complaint ). 

I am a first-time homebuyer preparing to make the biggest purchase of my life. Suddenly having over {$10000.00} in fake debt parked on my credit report significantly disrupts the financial goals I have worked so hard to achieve.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (VA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I mailed a certified letter to Navy Federal Credit Union. The letter explained the inaccurate reporting of XXXX accounts on my consumer report. According to my consumer reports from XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX credit card accounts and one unsecured account was charged off ( XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ). The IRS clearly defines a charge off as gross or ordinary income. According to IRS Publication 4681 a charge off or canceled debt must be reported as gross income on your tax return. The lender must file Form 1099-C and send the consumer a copy if the amount of debt canceled is {$600.00} or more and the lender is a financial institution, credit union , federal government agency or other applicable entity. I never received my copy of Form 1099-C for the three charged off accounts. Navy Federal is in violation of 15 USC 1681 s-2. I requested my copy of Form 1099-C and the deletion of the accounts from my consumer reports. Navy Federal Credit Union responded with a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX stating the information is being accurately reported to the consumer reporting agencies. Income does not get reported on consumer reports which in fact makes the reporting of these accounts inaccurate. By definition, the IRS clearly says a canceled debt or charge off is income. The reporting of these accounts as a debt is inaccurate.
