Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal follow-up regarding a previous identity theft dispute I filed on XX/XX/XXXX, with Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. Despite providing a complete FTC Identity Theft Report, photo ID, and proof of address, I have not received any written response or confirmation of action taken. 

The following unauthorized hard inquiries and a suspicious collection account remain on my credit reports : Experian : XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Equifax : XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX TransUnion : XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX In addition, a vague collection account appears across all reports : XXXX XXXX XXXX or simply XXXX  Alleged original creditor : XXXX or XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX XXXX XXXX No clear documentation, contact info, or signed contract has been provided. 

This account lacks basic identifying information and fails to meet the FCRA verification requirements, particularly under 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 605B ( a ). Furnishers are required to provide signed, original documentation linking the consumer to the debt. No such documentation has been provided, and under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), unverifiable data must be deleted.

Under FCRA 605B ( a ) ( 1 ), consumer reporting agencies must block identity theft-related information within 4 business days of receiving a valid report. It has now been nearly a month with no action taken. This noncompliance continues to damage my credit, cause denials for essential services, and result in XXXX  XXXX. 

I respectfully request the immediate deletion of all disputed inquiries and the fraudulent collection account, along with a written confirmation of all actions taken. This issue has also been reported to the FTC and the California Attorney General. 

Please enforce the obligations of the credit reporting agencies and furnishers under FCRA and FDCPA.

Complaint narrative:
hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing matter concerning the handling of disputed and unauthorized charges and scammed on my cashapp which has led to the closure of my only bank account. I am deeply concerned about the deviation from federal Regulation E laws and the subsequent repercussions I have faced. 

Recently, I have encountered instances of unauthorized transactions on my account that I was an victim of a scam, and despite my diligent efforts to report and dispute these charges promptly, I have faced significant challenges in obtaining a fair resolution. It has come to my attention that the process followed by Cashapp may be in violation of federal Regulation E laws designed to protect consumers in such situations. I was contacted by a claimed to be a cashapp representative for an upgraded account. Found to be a scam. The scammer forced me to cashapp them to prevent closure of my cashapp account to upgrade to a new accounts. I lost {$1300.00} of my hard earned money to XXXX XXXXXXXX. Cashapp is siding with the scammer. This event happened XX/XX/year>. I also suffer from a XXXX XXXXXXXX so this is indeed taking advantage of the handicapped individuals. 

Furthermore, losing the funds from my cashapp account due to fraudulent activities has added an additional layer of distress. I find it disheartening that Cashapp neglect to effectively address and prevent fraud on my account has led to the closure of my sole banking relationship. When attempting to report these issues, I have faced penalties rather than assistance, exacerbating the difficulties I am Experiencing. 

Additionally, I am seeking clarification on the status of the disputed claims. I trust that an investigation will reveal the fraudulent nature of these transactions, and I expect the claims to be resolved in my favor promptly.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding my Care Credit account serviced by Synchrony Bank. 

I made my final payment of {$120.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. Prior to that, I made a {$100.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX, a {$63.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX, and an initial {$200.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX. These payments totaled {$380.00}, which was the full balance on the account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Synchrony Bank and confirmed the account was paid in full with a {$0.00} balance, and I requested the account be closed. Synchrony confirmed that the account had been closed and updated accordingly. 

However, in XX/XX/XXXX, a new charge of {$120.00} was posted to the account, along with an additional late fee. This resulted in a derogatory mark on my credit report, which was updated again on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I have made multiple attempts to dispute this issue with Synchrony Bank, but I have not received a clear explanation for the charges. I do not recognize or authorize any of these charges, nor have I been provided documentation supporting their legitimacy. I suspect fraud may be involved. 

Additionally, I previously had another issue with Synchrony Bank on XX/XX/XXXX, when they incorrectly added a charge of {$350.00} to another account for an unauthorized transaction. After escalating the matter, Synchrony admitted the error. 

Given the ongoing inconsistencies in their reporting, the unexplained charges, and the harm this has done to my credit, I am requesting that this matter be investigated and that the inaccurate information be removed from my credit history. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
