Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I logged into my AMEX XXXX account to pay my amex bill for an existing card and a pop-up, see attached offered me to apply for XXXX XXXX with {$250.00} cash back after {$3000.00} spend.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unauthorized accounts appearing on my credit report. Despite my repeated attempts to have these accounts removed, they persist, causing significant damage to my financial reputation and well-being. The accounts in question are in clear violation of 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes. It is evident that the credit bureaus have no permissible purpose to report these fraudulent items without my explicit consent. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I'd like to emphasize that Experian 's resolution process is unacceptably slow. It has been over 45 days, and I have yet to receive any feedback from them. Additionally, the information furnished by XXXX on my credit report shows minimal to no updates or changes. There are discrepancies between their information and that provided by Experian. 

Please note that XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX was removed from XXXX back in XX/XX/2023. I am unclear as to why XXXX and Experian are taking so long to remove it from their records. 

Due to the continued inaccuracy of their reports, lack of transparency regarding their verification methods, and misinterpretation of the account, I have filed an identity theft report through the FTC to assist me in having this account deleted.

Company: EdFinancial Services
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Payments to EdFinancial on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX were incorrectly allocated across only two of my loans instead of all four, resulting in them telling me I am " past due '' on payments even though I made the payments in full. I called and spoke to customer service about this in XX/XX/XXXX ( did not record date ), on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX ( spoke to XXXX ). They say they will submit my requests to financing to have the payments correctly allocated, but they can not give me an ETA of when that will be done ( although the company continues to incorrectly accuse me of being past due ). I also mailed a letter regarding this on XX/XX/XXXX. As of today XX/XX/XXXX, the loans are still not allocated correctly, my account is showing as being past due, and they continue to send me letters stating my account is past due.

Also, upon checking my account on XX/XX/XXXX, my payment on XX/XX/XXXX is showing as {$240.00}, despite my full payment of {$470.00} being debited from my bank account. It appears someone manually changed my payment amount.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Bull City Collection Agency regarding their collection practices in relation to my accounts with them, identified by account numbers XXXX and XXXX. It has come to my attention that Bull City Collection Agency has been violating my rights as a consumer under various provisions of federal regulations and statutes. 

Specifically, Bull City Collection Agency is in violation of the following regulations and statutes : 1. **12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) ** : This regulation outlines requirements for debt collectors in providing validation of debts. Bull City Collection Agency has failed to provide proper validation of the debts associated with my accounts as required by this regulation.

2. **12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ) ** : This regulation pertains to the provision of written notice by debt collectors. Bull City Collection Agency has not provided adequate written notice regarding the collection of the debts in question, as mandated by this regulation.

3. **12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) ** : This regulation addresses the timing of validation of debts. Bull City Collection Agency has failed to adhere to the specified timeframe for validating debts, as stipulated by this regulation.

4. **15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ) ** : This statute concerns the rights of consumers in relation to their credit information. Bull City Collection Agency 's actions are in violation of my rights under this statute, as they have not provided proper notification or validation of the debts impacting my credit.

I demand that Bull City Collection Agency cease all collection activities related to my accounts and delete the reporting of the accounts to the credit bureaus. Furthermore, if Bull City Collection Agency believes they have provided proper notification, I request that they furnish me with a certified receipt bearing my signature as evidence of such notification.

I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against Bull City Collection Agency for their violations of consumer rights. I also request that you keep me informed of any developments regarding this complaint.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.
