Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have previously disputed Experian, Equifax and Transunion regarding multiple accounts that are inaccurate. As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.

Complaint narrative:
This is not a mistaken complaint. My credit report contains inaccurate information that does not meet the legally required standard of maximum possible accuracy. These errors are causing significant harm to my credit profile and financial stability, and the emotional toll is considerable. 
I am formally requesting an immediate reinvestigation. If any item can not be fully verified as accurate and lawfully attributed to me,

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
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 XXXX  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.

Complaint narrative:
The consumer reporting agency has willfully violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b Permissible purposes of consumer reports, by furnishing or reporting information on my credit file without my written consent or legal authorization. I did not provide any written instructions allowing the agency to collect or disclose this information. This is a clear violation of the permissible purpose provision, and I have formally disputed the items in question.

Complaint narrative:
RE : Formal Complaint Against TransUnion and XXXX FCRA Violations I am submitting this formal complaint against TransUnion and XXXX for continuously reporting inaccurate, inconsistent, and unverified information on my credit report. These actions have resulted in a lowered credit score, emotional distress, and denial of credit opportunities.

The disputed account appears as follows : - * * Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX * * Balance : * * {$620.00} - * * Opened : * * XX/XX/XXXX - * * Status : * * Closed Charge-Off / Collections - * * Payment History : * * Only 25 % on-time, with multiple red triangles ( derogatory marks ) - * * Inconsistencies : * * Previously reported as current, then 30 days late, then 60 days late, then charge-off, then back to collection * * This pattern of contradictory reporting is proof that TransUnion has not conducted any reasonable investigation * XXXX and that XXXX has failed to provide consistent, accurate, and verifiable information. 

* * I am alleging the following FCRA violations : * * FCRA 607 ( b ) Failure to ensure maximum possible accuracy FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) Failure to provide verification documents FCRA 611 Failure to properly investigate consumer disputes FCRA 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) Failure to delete unverifiable information FCRA 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) Shifting burden to the consumer * * Supporting Legal Precedents : * * XXXX XXXX TransUnion XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation. 
XXXX v. TransUnion, XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Negligent failure to remove inaccurate data. 
XXXX v. TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) {$60.00} XXXX verdict for careless and inaccurate reporting. 

Despite my previous written disputes, the inaccurate information remains, and neither company has provided any of the following required documentation : - Signed contract - Complete billing/payment history - Proof of charge-off or default - Chain of title or purchase agreement - Affidavit of investigation or verification Instead, I have received vague template responses and TransUnion continues to parrot information from XXXX without checking its accuracy, which violates 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). This also contradicts my right under 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) to receive all supporting documentation used in any verification.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Review Denied Welcome Offer for Amex Gold Card To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally dispute the denial of the welcome offer on my American Express Gold Card application.

I applied for the Gold Card based on the advertised welcome offer of XXXX Membership Rewards points after meeting the required spending threshold. I have met all the necessary spending requirements within the promotional period. In addition, I contacted American Express customer service prior to this issue, and I was told that the points would be posted on the next billing cycle. 

To my surprise, I was later informed that I was not eligible for the offer, without clear justification. This is misleading and contradicts the prior information I was given by your representative. Furthermore, my request for a refund of the annual fee was denied, which adds to the frustration. 



I applied for this card in good faith based on your promotional material and fulfilled all terms to the best of my understanding. If this issue can not be resolved internally, I am prepared to escalate the matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) for further investigation. 

Please review my case and provide a fair resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Collection Bureau of America Ltd.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid a collection notice to Collection Bureau of America for {$350.00}. Account was paid in full, and I was told I'd be receiving a receipt via eMail. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a text message for Collection Bureau of America claiming I owed {$300.00} to the same creditor, under the same reference number. I contacted the CBofA, asking why I now owed less than I already paid, and why my account I'm receiving any text message about owing a debt. CBof A was unable to explain why the amounts are different and my handler refused to let me speak with a manager. As a consumer, this feels fraudulent and speculatory at best, trying to pressure me into paying another collection and why the amount " due '' is different amount. I have no other recourse except to make others aware of these business practices and to protect yourself from phishing by collectors. 

Text message and " receipt '' for payment attached. Notice anything about the receipt?
