Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX, am writing to you in a desperate attempt to somehow affect the situation I am currently in. 
On XX/XX/XXXX my XXXX XXXX XXXX was totaled. The Police called for the tow before I could, so the car was towed away without any chance of me redirecting the vehicle to my house. Then the insurance ( XXXX ) started the claim, and I was notified by them that getting the car out of the impound before insurance claim is closed could result in extra fees on my end they will not be covering. No one from insurance went to see my car or quoted any repairs on it, they just declared it total. 
In the meantime, the tow company decided to auction off the car without notifying me or lien holder ( Fifth Third Bank ), so neither party had a chance to remove the car from the tow property before they sold it. 
XXXX denied my claim. While they found a loophole to do so legally, this feels like a complete rip off, as the car itself was insured, regardless of anything else. At this point I submitted the GAP claim, but was hoping for a review and tried to appeal the decision with XXXX. This in term prolonged the GAP claim, which stated that Insurance had to go to the scene and view the vehicle to make the estimate of repairs. XXXX later used a video taken by me and provided the estimate of repairs, after the GAP refused to continue claim without this paperwork. Total Warranty Services ended up cancelling my GAP contract and not pay the vehicle once they saw XXXX denied the appeal. 
While I understand that there are contractual agreements and I knew the risks going in, it seems like the big companies are protected from all kinds of payments due to a team of legal advisors and tiny prints and us, regular taxpayers, must carry the burden of accidents beyond our control. I understood the risks, which is why I paid for a good quality insurance AND additionally took a GAP insurance to protect myself. But apparently law is not on my side at all. I just got married, I am planning on having a family, getting a mortgage. All of that ruined, because a regular person can not sue the giants of insurance industry, and now I will be forced to file for bankruptcy or have ruined credit with the collections, because there are no protections for tax paying citizens.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
This account is being reported to my credit as a charge off. This information is inaccurate and misleading because I have already satisfied this obligation by paying off the account in full. Since the debt has been resolved, it should not continue to be reported as a charge-off, as this misrepresents my current creditworthiness and payment history. I have done a dispute with Experian and I feel as if this was not investigated.

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.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MD

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: Source Receivables Management LLC

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a complaint regarding Source Receivables and their reporting of an invalid collection account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Source Receivables placed a collection for {$210.00} on my credit report, allegedly for a XXXX  account. This debt is not valid. In XX/XX/XXXX, I paid my XXXX account in full ( {$210.00} ) and closed my account when I switched to XXXX XXXX XXXX At that time, I also paid over {$800.00} to port my three phone lines and satisfy all balances owed. 

I have enclosed bank statements showing the final XXXX  autopayment. I am also able to provide verification from XXXX XXXX of my XX/XX/XXXX service activation. 

This inaccurate reporting is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). It is damaging my credit and interfering with my ability to refinance my home.

This is a formal demand for the complete disclosure of the method of verification used during your prior investigation ( s ) of the disputed items on my credit report. Under FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) [ 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) ], you are legally required to provide a description of the procedures used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the disputed information, including the name, address, and contact information of the party who verified the data. The fact that these inaccurate items are still being reported leads me to believe that no actual verification was conducted, and that you may have relied on automated or incomplete responses from the furnisher, which is a violation of your duty to perform a reasonable investigation under FCRA Section 611 ( a ).

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.
