Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified multiple billing errors that violate 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ). According to this statute, a creditor can not classify a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late unless they have adhered to specific requirements. These include ensuring that each periodic statement, containing the information required by section 1637 ( b ), is mailed or delivered to the consumer no later than 21 days before the payment due date. Additionally, the statute prohibits errors such as failure to properly reflect payments or credits, and computation errors on statements. The creditor did not provide me with a statement 21 days before the payment due date, meaning no late payments should have been recorded. I request concrete proof from the creditors bank account showing that I failed to make the payment and that it was erroneously marked late. This is a billing error. The following items should be corrected to reflect " paid as agreed '' on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - XXXX - This is also completely inaccurate. - This is paid as agreed and should not be reported negatively on my report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), these accounts must be updated or removed immediately. Should this not be resolved promptly, I will seek monetary compensation for the violation of my rights in small claims court in my city and state under 15 U.S.C. 1681n. Additionally, I have already forwarded this issue to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the State Attorney Generals Office, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the Federal Trade Commission. Please note that you have 30 days from the receipt of this letter to complete your investigation, as stipulated by FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). I also request a description of the procedures used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information, to be provided within 5 days of the completion of your re-investigation. I am maintaining a detailed record of your actions, including your method of verification, and I do not consent to e-Oscar or any automated verification methods.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I messaged support asking if I received an ACH from one of my customers would it be available same day. The representative told me it would be available same day. I told my customer to go ahead and send the ACH based on that information once I received it I did not have instant access. I called back and spoke to support and told them what their support team told me, they told me they were wrong and that was that I would have to wait for the funds for three business days. It has been three business days. I still have not received my funds in which I need for my business to operate. I called Square spoke to a representative and she said it may be tomorrow or it may be the day after no definitive answer. I asked to speak to a manager The representative told me he was just going to tell me the same thing she said, and I said I would like to speak to a manager, regardless. When I got on the phone with the manager his name was XXXX. From the start, he was very argumentative told me nothing could be done that I just had to wait. I explain to him that the funds already left my clients account and this is holding up the work that I have to do for him again he said he could do nothing. He said the team that processes these things are usually backed up. I asked to speak to the team that processes ACHs He said no I also asked to speak to his manager, and he said his manager is not client facing nor available. This is completely unacceptable considering I have been waiting five days for these funds when I was told that it would be instant. I even told the manager that I have a bank that processes the same day ACH is and he said he does too. This one just doesnt then said this conversation looks like its going nowhere and hung up on me. 

Not only is this poor customer service for a manager theyre also giving false information regarding their ACHs. I also forgot to mention that he asked me if I thought there was a magical button that he could push to give me the funds. It was a terrible interaction from the start. I told him Id be reporting to the CFPB and he told me to go ahead and do that and that he could not give me his last name. Hes just XXXX.

Given this evidence, I am requesting the immediate removal of the inaccurate information from my credit report. The ongoing failure to correct these mistakes is unacceptable and must be resolved in compliance with the FCRA.
