State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding inaccurate information being reported by Transunion on my credit report. The details of the incorrect information are as follows : Account Name/Number : XXXX Nature of the Inaccuracy : PAYMENT STILL BEING REPORTED EVEN AFTER CHARGED OFF Date of XXXX I have already attempted to resolve this issue by contacting Transunion directly, but they have failed to correct the errors or provide an adequate resolution. Relevant Laws and Rights : The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) provides protections against inaccurate reporting by credit bureaus. Specifically, I believe the credit bureau has violated the following provisions of the FCRA : FCRA Section 1681e : This section mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information reported. If they report incorrect information, they must investigate and correct it. Despite these legal protections, the credit bureau has not corrected the inaccuracies or taken appropriate action to resolve my complaint. I am requesting the CFPB 's assistance in addressing this issue and ensuring that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust the CFPB will work to ensure that my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act are upheld. Please do not hesitate to contact me at XXXX if you require additional information

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting to freeze my credit report due to the repeated appearance of unauthorized transactions that have continuously reflected on my credit file. Despite my efforts to dispute these discrepancies, they persist on my report, which is causing significant concern regarding the security of my personal and financial information. The presence of these unauthorized transactions is not only damaging my credit score but also exposing me to potential risks of identity theft and further fraudulent activity. 

Given these ongoing issues, I believe it is crucial to take immediate steps to protect my financial integrity. Freezing my credit report will prevent any unauthorized access to my credit file, ensuring that no new accounts or inquiries can be made without my explicit consent.

Product: Checking or savings account — Other banking product or service
Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: CATHAY BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am currently facing a serious issue that highlights a troubling trend in America : the financial exploitation of older adults. I have observed that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a banker at Cathay Bank, along with her manager, XXXX XXXX XXXX, have targeted me regarding my family 's certificate of deposit ( CD ) account, engaging in practices that I consider exploitative. As a XXXX, I am deeply concerned that someone I placed my trust in, XXXX XXXX, is involved in actions that could be classified as elder abuse, which includes illegal activities that deprive older adults of their resources. I have been misled about incorrect interest rates by both XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, who provided me with inaccurate information regarding the unposted interest rate. Following their guidance has resulted in a significant decline in my family 's {$1.00} XXXX investment, leading to a loss of {$110000.00} across all 18 CDs. I have attempted to address these concerns directly with XXXX XXXX ; however, she has not responded to my emails and appears to be disregarding my attempts to communicate. Furthermore, Cathay Banks complaint department has declined to utilize the banks video surveillance to investigate XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This lack of action serves as further evidence that Cathay Bank is unwilling to uncover the truth. This situation is frustrating for loyal customers who seek to regain their trust in the bank 's services.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Portfolio Recovery Associates, who are attempting to collect a debt I do not own nor have I contracted with them. I believe that they are violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 3 ).

As per 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I have the right to dispute the accuracy of any information reported about me. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 3 ), I am entitled to require debt collectors to properly investigate and verify any alleged debts before continuing their collection efforts. 

I have already disputed the validity of this debt with Portfolio Recovery Associates, but they have failed to provide adequate proof of my responsibility for the debt, nor have they provided any documentation that shows I have contracted with them. Despite this, they continue to pursue collection efforts, which I believe is a violation of the FCRA.
