Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (IL)

My husband passed away in XXXX, XXXX. The day after he died, there was a fraud alert on our credit card. When I called to discuss, Chase told me that I could not use the card because it was in my husband 's name and I was just an authorized user. On the day of his funeral, a fraud alert notice came through for my debit card, with a notice that the debit card was canceled. I understood the issue with the credit card because over the years Chase had refused to allow us to combine all of our accounts for online banking because the credit card was my husband 's and the rest of the accounts were mine. Prior to closing my account in XXXX, I transferred the remaining balance from my checking account to my new bank. Chase did not conduct that transfer. Instead, they issued a check in my husband 's name for the balance ( {$2600.00} ). My new bank would not accept that check, so I contacted Chase to reissue the check in my name. I talked with them in XXXX and again in XXXX. Chase told me that my husband was the primary holder of the checking account and I would need to open an estate account with an LLC number. My husband had no assets of his own to probate and I had already paid off our equity line and credit card balance. There was no other debt. The checking and savings accounts were mine from the beginning. I opened my accounts in a previous bank that eventually transferred through acquisition to Chase. My husband was added after we bought our house in XXXX. It appears that Chase arbitrarily identified my husband as the primary account holder, even though they refused to combine our accounts online because the credit card was his and the other accounts were mine.

I'm writing to let you know how deeply irritated and disappointed I am with the way your bureau has handled my complaints about identity theft. I have tried numerous times to get this resolved, but I have never received a satisfactory response or action from you. 
I was the victim of identity theft, and because of the unauthorized accounts and transactions that showed up on my credit report, I had to deal with a lot of emotional and financial difficulties. I reported these fraudulent acts to your bureau right away, and I provided all the required paperwork and thorough justifications to back up my allegations and prove my innocence. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX However, an extended period has passed since I initially raised these disputes, and I have yet to receive a satisfactory response or resolution. This delay has not only caused me significant stress but has also resulted in concrete negative consequences for my financial well-being. I have experienced denied credit applications, higher interest rates, and relentless harassment from debt collectors, all stemming from inaccuracies on my credit report. The bureau 's obvious inability to recognize the gravity of my predicament just serves to increase my dissatisfaction and aggravation. It seems that even though I have shown strong proof of identity theft, my case has been disregarded or underestimated. This has had a significant negative influence on my life and made me feel ignored and helpless.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

Subject : Complaint Regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX concerning the accuracy and reporting practices of an account listed on my credit report. 

The account in question is identified as XXXX and is associated with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX However, I have noticed that the credit report indicates that XXXX XXXX has acquired the debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite this, XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to report this account on my credit file, which I believe is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

As per the FCRA guidelines, specifically under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 5 ), once a debt has been sold or transferred to a new company, the original creditor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX no longer responsible for reporting it. The responsibility for reporting the debt now lies with the new company ( XXXX XXXX ), who currently owns the debt. 

By continuing to report this account on my credit report, XXXX XXXX XXXX is potentially violating the FCRA 's provisions that govern accurate and timely reporting of information to credit bureaus. 

I believe that XXXX XXXX XXXX should update my credit report to reflect that the account has been sold or transferred to XXXX XXXX and remove any reference to this account from their reporting. 

Enclosed is supporting documentation from the credit report, clearly showing that XXXX XXXX has acquired the debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigates this matter thoroughly to ensure that XXXX XXXX XXXX complies with the FCRA and accurately reports my credit information. 

Please provide me with a written response once the investigation is complete and appropriate action has been taken to rectify the situation. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this complaint. I look forward to a resolution that upholds my consumer rights and ensures fair credit reporting practices. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
