Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

I am filing a complaint against Experian, Equifax, and Transunion for illegally reporting account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report despite it being in active litigation.

I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information listed on my credit report, in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681b and 15 U.S.C. 1681. I did not authorize the reporting or release of my personal information to the companies listed below. This constitutes a violation of my consumer rights to privacy, as these entities have no legal basis to report any information under my name.

Additionally, there are unauthorized inquiries on my credit report that I did not initiate, which suggests a case of identity theft. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1028, I affirm that I do not owe any debt to these entities. I demand the immediate deletion of the items and inquiries in question to correct my credit report.

Please investigate this matter promptly and confirm in writing the removal of the disputed entries.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate reporting of a charge-off account by Ally Financial Account # XXXX on my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), creditors are required to report accurate and truthful information to credit bureaus. However, Ally Financial has been reporting the same charge-off account as a new charge-off every month, which is incorrect and is negatively impacting my credit score.

A charge-off should only be reported once, with a specific charge-off date. The continuous monthly reporting of the charge-off makes it appear as though the delinquency is recurring, which is misleading and damaging to my financial standing. I kindly request that the CFPB investigate this matter

Re : Complaint Regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX and Violation of Consumer Protection Laws Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing this formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding its failure to protect consumer data, resulting in the massive 2017 data breach, which exposed sensitive personal information, including names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and in some cases, drivers license numbers.
