Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Fraud account with XXXX XXXX XXXX The companys response is insufficient and does not address the substance of my dispute. XXXX XXXX XXXX provided only a generic cardholder service agreement, which does not constitute proof that I opened, authorized, or used this account.

They failed to provide : A signed or electronically authorized application Proof of identity verification at account opening Billing statements showing alleged use by me Proof the card was delivered to my address A standard agreement does not validate ownership of the debt. This does not meet the requirements of a reasonable investigation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) ).

I am requesting the CFPB require XXXX XXXX XXXX to : 1. Provide proper account-level validation proving this account belongs to me, or 2. Remove the tradeline from all credit bureaus.

The account remains formally disputed due to the companys failure to substantiate their claims.

I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting.

This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ) says ( XXXX ) 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 XXXX is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code XXXX 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 ( XXXX ) 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.
