Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Self Financial Inc. (TX)

Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to XXXX XXXX  XXXX, Texas Laws Dear XXXX, I am writing to address the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), the Texas Finance Code under Sections 392.301 and 392.305, and identity fraud laws, specifically Texas Penal Code Section 32.51 . 

It has come to my attention that XXXX has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that consumer consent is required for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

In addition to federal law, Texas state law, specifically Section 392.301 of the Texas Finance Code, emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Furthermore, Section 392.305 of the Texas Finance Code establishes clear guidelines for the fair reporting of consumer credit information. Additionally, identity fraud laws, such as Texas Penal Code Section 32.51, underscore the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information. 

I assert that I have not provided consent for XXXX  to report any information to my credit report. This lack of explicit permission constitutes a violation of my rights, potentially damaging my creditworthiness and disregarding federal and state laws. 

I demand that XXXX immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Sections 392.301 and 392.305 of the Texas Finance Code. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws.

Obtaining consent is a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA, Texas state law, and identity fraud laws. This is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that XXXX will promptly rectify these violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AR)

I submitted a credit repair request to a company, but they failed to respond within the 30-day timeframe required by law. This failure to respond has negatively impacted my credit and caused difficulties for me.

Company: Kikoff Inc. (FL)

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my KICKOFF LENDING LLC # XXXX****. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

It's been over 30 days and the creditor never updated information or provided proof or documentation in regards to the late payment marked on my account. According to federal law if they fail to provide this information and complete the investigation in 30 days this information should be deleted from my account as soon as possible.

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NV)

I deposited a check in the amount of {$520.00} to a Bank of America ATM machine. I contacted the bank over and over again to find out why the check was not credited to my checking account. The bank told me I had to get proof of the check because they did not receive the ATM check deposit. I asked XXXX XXXX over and over again to send me a copy of the check and proof that it had been cashed. I asked them several times to send me a copy and they never did. I had to file a complaint against XXXX in order for them to send me the copy of the check and proof that it had been cashed. They finally sent me the information and I provided it to Bank of America and they have not responded to me. This has been going on for a year now and the bank has been giving me the run around this entire time. I asked BOA to investigate what happened and they have not done so. I have a copy of the check and proof that it was cashed.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite numerous attempts to dispute inaccuracies on my credit report, specifically related to the reporting of late payments on accounts with OneMain, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX, TransUnion has failed to provide a fair investigation and transparent explanation of the verification process, as required by the FCRA. 
I have disputed the presence of these account on my consumer report multiple times. TransUnion claims to have verified the accuracy of this account, yet I have not received any satisfactory response detailing the steps taken to verify its accuracy. Pursuant to the FCRA, I am entitled to a clear and comprehensive explanation of the verification process and the basis on which these were verified on my consumer report. 

XXXX Acc # XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Acc # XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Acc # XXXX I have raised concerns about the late payments posted on my accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. I have specifically requested information about the verification process in accordance with the FCRA. TransUnion has not provided any adequate response or documentation regarding the investigation into the accuracy of these late payments. 
I believe that TransUnion failure to provide a satisfactory response violates my rights under the FCRA, which grants consumers the right to dispute inaccuracies on their credit reports and receive a fair and transparent investigation. 
I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with the FCRA. I appreciate your attention to this serious matter and look forward to a resolution that upholds the rights of consumers. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this complaint.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (MD)

I complied with what Select Portfolio Servicing reported to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, that I needed to get in touch with their Ombudsman Department at XXXX. I spoke with a customer representative who said that he was going to present a request for loan modification based on " an exception '' he said we qualified for. We complied with everything except having proof that we had {$2000.00} in the bank to make a down payment. The customer service agent said that he was going to contact us in three business days. He never did. I called the Ombudsman Department to see if there was anyone assigned to our complaint. To my surprise, I had to deal with a female customer representative who repeated endlessly what the letter dated XX/XX/year>, which I am attaching to this complaint said. The lady was extremely rude and refused to see if there was something else to do. She implied that XXXX and XXXX XXXX lived in the house almost for free and that her company always helped them. She talked about the times the Lastarrias have requested XXXX relief. Essentially, she said that our case did not deserve a new review, that it was impossible. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX is a XXXX survivor whose only wish is reasumming mortgage payments to retain his home. XXXX XXXX XXXX is a mother of XXXX kids. They got no other place to go to. They can not apply for any home loans because their credit is bad. SPS, the investors as well, on the other hand, are not doing enough to help them. I can only assume that both SPS and the investors were waiting for the Supreme Court to decide the fate of CFPB before doing what is their duty under the Deed of Trust, finding ways to help the Lastarrias. I feel discriminated by SPS and the way they have handled the case. They are not giving the present case the due process. 

The Lastarrias are ready to come to the conversation table and they expect the same from SPS. We do not to be placed into a marry-go-round or dead ends. The history of the present mortgage loan deserved more than a simple answer.
