Complaint narrative:
I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

" 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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.

Complaint narrative:
I has Progressive XXXX and a few months into my policy they doubled my rates so I called and cancelled my insurance because I could not afford it. They continued to bill me after cancelling. I called and told them I cancelled 2 months before. They told me I needed to show proof I had other ins at the time I cancelled, but they did not say that on the phone the day I cancelled. It took me about a week of shopping around to find other ins. They refused to cancel and sent me to a collection agency. I explained to the collection agency that Progressive continued to bill me even after I cancelled and the lady as extremely rude and continued to repeat " how do you want to pay for this ''. I finally just hung up. I called back and asked for the purchase agreement or any information they have and aside from the first bill they sent me in the mail they have never sent me anything else. It should be illegal for a company to continue to charge you after you cancel with them.

I am filing this complaint due to XXXX failure to investigate my disputes in violation of FCRA regulations. According to XXXXXXXX XXXX website, they outline the acceptable forms of ID verification required for disputing inaccuracies on credit reports. I followed their instructions and submitted the proper verification. However, instead of processing my disputes, they sent me a letter claiming that my disputes were not submitted by me and that they would not proceed with investigating my claims. 

XXXX engaged in the same conduct, also in violation of the FCRA, specifically Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable investigation of disputes. Meanwhile, Equifax failed to respond to my disputes altogether, further violating FCRA guidelines. 

I have attached all affidavits sent to each credit bureau, along with the exact same forms of ID that were submitted with each dispute. Please review the attachments for further details. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX  I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment delay due to technical error : I attempted to make the payment on time, but XXXX online payment system was down for several days. This technical issue prevented me from completing the payment within the required time frame. The payment was processed as soon as the system was back online, and therefore, the late payment entry is inaccurate. 
Evidence provided : I have attached bank statements and payment confirmation records, clearly showing that the delay was caused by a system error, and the payment was made promptly once the system was restored. This documentation demonstrates that the late payment was due to external circumstances beyond my control. 

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 
As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I filed a dispute with Discover Card regarding a charge of {$140.00} by XXXX for ordered items not being received. However, Discover Card failed to resolve the dispute within 90 days as it is legally required to do so per FCBA. As the attached document clearly indicated that Discover failed to resolve the dispute only until XX/XX/year>. 

Consequently, under 15 U.S. Code 1666, specifically 1666 ( a ) ( 1 ) and 1666 ( b ), Discover has no legal right to collect or report the disputed amount of {$140.00}, nor any associated fees, due to its failure to resolve this dispute within the required timeframe. 

I reserve the right to pursue all available legal actions against Discover Card for its failures and illegal actions in handling this dispute. 

All fraudulent information, including the reported past due amount, must be immediately removed from all credit bureaus, including XXXX, to avoid further legal action against all parties involved.
