Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian, one of the XXXX XXXX  credit reporting agencies, for its failure to properly process my consumer credit dispute, in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to Experian via certified mail, along with the required supporting documentation, including : A copy of my valid government-issued photo ID A copy of my current lease agreement as proof of address A detailed letter outlining my dispute and requesting reinvestigation Despite following the correct procedures and verifying my identity, I received an email response from Experian stating that the request " does not appear to have been sent directly by you or to be authorized by you, '' and that no action would be taken. This statement is incorrectI personally prepared and mailed the dispute letter with all necessary documentation. I have the certified mail receipt and copies of everything submitted.

As a consumer, I am exercising my legal right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information under the FCRA. Experians refusal to process my dispute not only delays the correction of potentially damaging errors on my credit report, but it also violates my rights under federal law. 

I respectfully request the CFPB investigate this issue and take appropriate regulatory action to ensure Experian complies with the FCRA. I am also requesting that Experian immediately honor my original dispute request and perform a full reinvestigation of the items I identified. 

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Company: Samuel Whitaker & Associates LLC
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Whitaker and Associates continues to call and harass different family contacts of mine in regards to what they claim is a debt that they are taking legal action on. These calls are going to my ex-wife, mother, current wife. They have tried intimidation tactics with these people and refuse to give any information regarding this debt. They leave voicemails stating they are taking legal action and will be delivering notices and then want more information. I have gotten on the phone with their reps that call and they transfer me around without stating any facts to me about why they are calling. They are rude and withhold information asking instead for my current info and continue to mask why they are calling. Any debts they are collecting on were cleared from a bankruptcy that was closed almost ten years ago and I can't make them stop calling.

Issue: Repossession — Damage caused or loss of personal items in vehicle during the actual repossession
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Hi, what happened was that the Ally Financial Bank is denying me basic customer service until according to them I resolved a remaining balance after they repossessed my vehicle. They told me that I can't get any service until I pay the remaining balance. I told them that I recently made a payment for more that {$2000.00} and that from the remaining balance of {$770.00} I scheduled different payments for XXXX XXXX and XXXX. However, they did not really listened to me. I tried to communicate with them through a message service they have through its website, but they blocked me and they wanted me to call them. I called them several times and all they talked about is the remaining balance. Moreover, the representatives are extremely rude and tried to get too familiar with the customers. as right now, they haven't provided me with a copy from the title and permission letter that I need in order for me to register my car in the state of New York. The other issue that I have is that one of my remote keys was stolen when the vehicle was transported from the towing auto repossession company to the auction company. Both of these companies are claiming that they do not know anything about my remote key. I'm expecting Ally Financial to take full of responsibility because my car can be stolen because of the negligence from companies that work for Ally Financial.
