Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: SC

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.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Against Wells Fargo for Improper Escrow Charges Related to Insurance Payments Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally file a complaint against Wells Fargo Home Mortgage concerning their improper handling of escrow charges related to my homeowners insurance. 

I am the borrower on a mortgage loan serviced by Wells Fargo. Despite the fact that I have been paying my homeowners insurance premiums * * directly and in full each month * *, Wells Fargo has unilaterally created and funded an escrow account for insurance without my request or consent. They have begun collecting additional monthly payments for insurance through this escrow account, claiming it is required even though the policy is fully paid by me independently. 

Furthermore, Wells Fargo has informed me that this escrow account for insurance will remain in place for the * * entire duration of the loan approximately 25 more years * * regardless of whether I continue to pay the insurance myself or not. This action appears to be both arbitrary and unjustified, especially as I have maintained continuous and timely insurance coverage without lapse. 

I believe this practice is : - Unfair and deceptive under consumer protection laws- In violation of RESPA ( Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ) guidelines- A form of financial coercion, forcing consumers to overpay unnecessarily I have contacted Wells Fargo multiple times requesting the removal of the escrow requirement and reimbursement of the excess amounts collected. However, my concerns have not been adequately addressed, and the escrow charges continue. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and ensure that : 1. Wells Fargo ceases the improper escrow charges for insurance already paid by the consumer. 
2. The escrow requirement is removed unless legally mandated due to delinquency or lender-purchased insurance.

3. Any excess funds collected through escrow are promptly refunded to me.

I have attached supporting documentation, including my mortgage account number, payment history, insurance statements, and correspondence with Wells Fargo. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I respectfully request your assistance in ensuring that Wells Fargo is held accountable for this improper and potentially unlawful behavior. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Fair Collections & Outsourcing ( FCO ) has reported a collection account against me based on charges that are not mine. Although FCO sent me a statement claiming to validate the debt, the charges listed are inaccurate and do not correspond to any transactions I have made or authorized. 
As a consumer, I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or fraudulent information under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The provided documentation does not prove that this debt is legitimately mine and is therefore causing unjust harm to my credit report.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/scrub> 2024, I opened a checking account with Chase and inadvertently deposited a {$1000.00} check issued to my XXXX XXXX, which does not have an XXXX  registered. Upon realizing this, I contacted Chase customer service and was advised to request that the check issuer recall the check so that a new one could be issued.

However, when I reached out to the check issuer, they informed me that since the check had already been deposited, they were unable to take any action. I followed up with Chase customer service again, only to be told that the account had been closed and flagged for suspected fraudulent activity. I was further informed that the bank could not proceed with any resolution unless I registered the business as an XXXX, verified through the South Carolina Secretary of State website.

I want to clarify that I am not currently operating this business and have no intention of registering an XXXX. I previously provided cleaning services solely for the company where my husband was employed. After his separation from that company, I ceased operations as well. Chases insistence on verifying the business through the Secretary of State website does not align with my current situation.

I have requested that the funds be returned to the original issuer so that all parties can move forward, but to date, no resolution has been reached. I was informed that I must either form an
XXXX  or wait five years for the funds to be transferred to the government system and then attempt to prove ownership.

I have also offered that Chase may contact the business owner directly to verify that the check was indeed issued to me.

As this matter remains unresolved over a year later, I am formally requesting once again that the funds be returned to the issuer or that I be advised of an alternative method to prove rightful ownership of the check.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your response.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
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. 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.
