Complaint narrative:
Loan officers at XXXX told me that my loans would be placed on pause/deferment. 

Based on their assurances, I reasonably believed no payments were required during the affected months. 

The servicer failed to process the pause correctly. 

I was never notified by email, text, or phone that my accounts were considered late. 

Instead, late payments were reported, damaging my credit history. 

This is not consumer negligence it is the result of servicer error and lack of communication. 

Why this violates the law : Under FCRA 607 ( b ), credit bureaus must ensure maximum possible accuracy.

Under FCRA 611, they must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation. After multiple disputes, they continue to verify inaccurate information without providing proof. 

The servicer has failed to provide proper documentation or verification of these alleged late payments.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a Discover Card account that appears on my credit report. The account is listed as opened on XX/XX/year> with a {$500.00} credit limit and currently shows a balance of {$330.00}, with {$280.00} past due as of XX/XX/year>. 

I did not open or authorize this account. I became aware of it only after reviewing my credit reports. I have disputed this account multiple times with Experian and TransUnion, but each dispute was marked as verified as accurate without providing documentation showing that I am responsible for the account. 

I have never made a payment on this account, and no recent payment is reflected. Despite my disputes, the account continues to report as open and past due, negatively impacting my credit. 

I am requesting that Discover Bank provide documented proof that I opened and authorized this account, including the original application, agreement, and verification of identity used at account opening. If such documentation can not be provided, I am requesting that this account be removed from my credit reports.

Complaint narrative:
DO NOT send me any stall letters to delay or misdirect this investigation this complaint is authorized BY ME. I am formally disputing the inaccurate, unverifiable, and unauthorized information currently being reported on my credit file, which has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and violated my consumer rights under federal law. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., I am demanding a full and reasonable reinvestigation into all derogatory accounts, personal data errors, and hard inquiries. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), the credit bureaus are required to investigate disputed information, and I demand strict compliance with this statute, including the Method of Verification ( MOV ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ). For each item in question, I am requesting original source documentation specifically a signed contract bearing my signature, a complete account history, proof of permissible purpose under 15 U.S.C. 1681b, and all communications between the credit bureau and the furnisher of the information. As a victim of the Equifax Data Breach and TransUnion Data Incident, my personal information has been found on the dark web, raising serious concerns about identity theft and misuse. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has taken action against Equifax for improper handling of consumer disputes, and I have every reason to question the legitimacy and accuracy of the data currently being reported. I am scared and extremely worried because I do not know who has my information or how its being used. This is why yall keep getting sued by consumers like me because you continue to overlook clear violations and fail to properly investigate disputed data. If you are unable to provide verified, legally admissible documentation for each disputed item, you are required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) to delete the information immediately. Noncompliance will be viewed as a willful violation of the FCRA under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, and I am fully prepared to escalate this matter with formal complaints to the CFPB, FTC, and my State Attorney General. I expect a complete, legally compliant response within 30 days, as required by law. Attached are copies of my drivers license, social security card, and proof of address for identity verification. DO NOT add any fraud alerts. DO NOT add any personal statements to my credit profile. Please read this letter in its entirety before responding. 

Here is a list of inaccurate, unverifiable, and unauthorized information that must be investigated and resolved : Account Name : 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

Complaint narrative:
TransUnions response fails to address illegal post-charge-off and post-closure delinquency reporting. The account reflects ongoing monthly derogatories after being closed and written off, which is inaccurate and misleading under FCRA 1681e ( b ) and constitutes re-aging in violation of 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 5 ).

TransUnion has not provided a lawful method of verification and continues to report internally contradictory data. I am reiterating my request for immediate deletion.
