Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

This is XXXX XXXX please do not deny my complaint by stating that I filed this by some other means than myself. This is done 100 % by me. The stuff on my credit report is wrong and Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b Permissible purposes of consumer reports I never gave any written consent to report anything on my consumer reports no consent is fraud.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (MA)

Hello, I am writing in regard to the failure of receiving my pricematch benefit from Citi 's  Price Rewind program. 

I contacted Citi 's customer service and provided my case number and spoke with a claims adjuster named XXXX on XX/XX/18 at XXXX XXXX est. She told me my timestamped screenshot of the advertisement was not valid and could not substantiated at the store. This was a clear tactic Citi uses because I was familiar with their usual runarounds in trying to deny my previous claims with correct and valid documentation. 

To provide greater background, I have had the same issue with the Citi Price Rewind program last year to the month coincidentally and they provided the same baseless reasons in order to deny my claim by providing false details and interpreting their clear-cut terms and conditions in a fickle manner. The claims were eventually approved through CFPB as did my all my other claims from other times using this type of advertisement. 

XXXX promised me she would call me back that night and does not but eventually does on the following day at XXXX est on XX/XX/18 at a time I explicitly told her I would be busy at work. 

In the call she reiterates that she verified with the store and provides me with a current XX/XX/18 current item pricing to which I doubt because I verified with the store and the information I received conflicts with what I received from XXXX. Additionally, the information she provides is irrelevant because I am not submitting an advertisement for XX/XX/18 but in fact it was dated on XX/XX/18 and this information was valid and in stock at the time. Eventually later on XX/XX/18 a supervisor named XXXX informs me that they are standing by their original claim denial decision. 

Thank you

By the Fair Credit Reporting Act, all charge-off accounts from AFFIRM INC have violated my rights. 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A states I have the right to privacy. 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. I did not authorize anyone employed by these companies to open any accounts. This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 1681b ( c ) which constitutes fraudulent activity and is also a serious breach of my privacy rights. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that a creditor be able to verify the written authorization of the consumer giving the creditor permission to review their credit. 

I need these accounts removed from my credit report immediately : AFFIRM INC / Opened XX/XX/2023 / Original Balance of {$1500.00} AFFIRM INC / Opened XX/XX/2023 / Original Balance of {$4600.00}

I noticed XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, SD, XXXX, doing business as XXXX XXXX placed a hard inquiry on my credit report without my knowledge or consent on XX/XX/2022. 

I immediately contacted all parties and requested copies of a signed authorization or recording showing I requested a line of credit increase or gave any authorization to obtain copies of my credit reports or score. 

XXXX XXXX may have offered a line of credit increase but never disclosed to consumers an inquiry would be placed that may impact their credit scores or rating in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

I requested XXXX XXXX immediately reach out to the three credit bureaus and remove the hard inquiry. To date, all parties have refused and placed the consumer on a 30 - 40-minute hold to get through to a representative.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (TX)

I am writing to formally submit a complaint against Capital One concerning two disputed transactions with XXXX The first dispute, Claim # XXXX, was initiated in XX/XX/XXXX, involving a transaction amounting to {$11000.00}. The second dispute, Claim # XXXX, was filed on XX/XX/XXXX, for an additional charge of {$4600.00}. Both claims were denied by Capital One, and I am deeply concerned about the lack of thorough investigation and proper resolution in both instances. 

In the initial dispute ( Claim # XXXX ), Capital One 's response was received within one day, leaving me with the impression that a comprehensive investigation had not taken place. Despite my attempts to pursue the matter further, subsequent communications were met with generic responses and an absence of supporting documentation. I took the initiative to contact Capital One 's investigation team via email on XX/XX/XXXX, but unfortunately, there was no response. 

Regrettably, the situation escalated when I discovered another charge from XXXX, this time amounting to {$4600.00}, and multiple denied charges due to the daily limit. Given the history of the dispute and the denied transactions, it is disconcerting that the bank did not identify this as suspicious activity, leading to another round of inconvenience for me. To address this, I closed my debit card and promptly initiated another dispute ( Claim # XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ), referencing the previous claim and providing a detailed history of my interactions with XXXX 

Despite my efforts to highlight the recurring issues and emphasize the unauthorized nature of the transactions, Claim # XXXX was once again denied by Capital One, with the assertion that the transactions were authorized. I strongly believe that these denials reflect a failure on Capital One 's part to conduct a diligent review of the cases. 

I am seeking your assistance in investigating the handling of these disputes by Capital One and ensuring that a thorough and impartial examination is conducted. The apparent oversight in reviewing the transactions poses a serious concern, and I am hopeful that your intervention will facilitate a fair resolution. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt and fair resolution.

Hello, I am writing to file a formal dispute against several creditors who have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ).

As per the details of my complaint, I have experienced severe financial hardships due to the unverified and inaccurate information that creditors have reported to consumer reporting agencies. The specific sections of the laws that may have been violated are as follows : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 607 - Requirements for Consumer Reporting Agencies to Correct Inaccurate Information Section 610 - Conditions and Form of Disclosure to Consumers Section 611 - Procedure in Case of Disputed Accuracy Section 623 - Responsibilities of Furnishers of Information to Consumer Reporting Agencies Section 626 - Disclosures to FBI for Counterintelligence Purposes Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ) Section 612 - Disclosures to Consumers Section 613 - Timing of Dispute Investigations Section 614 - Consumer 's Right to Dispute Information Section 615 - Requirements for Reinvestigations Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) Section 703 - Prohibition Against Discrimination Section 704 - Regulations to Carry Out the Purposes of this Subchapter Furthermore, the creditors have listed several inaccurate and unverified addresses on my credit report, which is a direct violation of FCRA Section 607. Also my current address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, But bureau reported that I have many addresses like XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

The creditors ' actions have severely impacted my life. I have been denied credit and loans due to the inaccurate information on my credit report, which has prevented me from purchasing a home or a vehicle. Additionally, it has caused me significant emotional distress, and I have been unable to sleep or concentrate on my work. 

Therefore, I am requesting that you enforce the legal provisions outlined above and ensure that the creditors remove all unverified accounts from my credit report. I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I am a victim of identity theft and have gone over to the bureaus to send my FTC reports, BUT TransUnion won't even help me. I sent out my letter XX/XX/XXXX and they received it, XX/XX/XXXX and up to this date ( XX/XX/XXXX ), the fraudulent hard inquiry is still showing on my credit report with them. I need that hard inquiry removed asap and I've been on the phone with them several times. Their agents would tell me different resolutions every single time and never actually resolved the problem. I sent out my IDs to them but they never listened. 

I also called the company but they also didn't take action on this matter. 


Here is the fraud inquiry : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I am attaching to this request the same FTC report that I sent to TransUnion along with my IDs and proof of address.
