Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
For the past year ( at least ) I have been requesting an accurate validation from Westlake Portfolio who acquired my car loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( the original debtor ) without my knowledge or verification. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent an email requesting an accurate debt validation from the time I purchased my vehicle in XXXX. XXXX days after I asked for that information, my car was not only repossessed but sent to an auction 5 days later. Westlake portfolio threatened via email ( I still have the emails ) that if I don't pay over {$2000.00} by the next day, my car would be auctioned. I was away on XXXX XXXX at the time, and my family was left without a vehicle, so I paid. I asked again after paying for an accurate debt validation ( via phone ) and the representative stated that Westlake does not have my account information from XXXX ( when I purchased the vehicle and payments following purchase ). I was only given a " debt validation '' from XXXX, even though I purchased and made payments on my vehicle since XXXX. I asked how Westlake came up with the amount I owed ( which is higher than what I purchased the vehicle for ), and they stated that only an account manager can answer this and then proceeded to transfer me. I was left on hold for XXXX minutes then the call was disconnected by them. Westlake stated that all of their calls are recorded, so they should have no problem retrieving this call. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent an email as well as mailed out a debt validation request, requesting all debt information to include licensures, and gave the company 30 days to provide a written response to which I have never received. When I emailed Westlake stating that their validation time limit had exceeded, I was sent an erroneous email stating that a debt validation was mailed to me. I asked for proof of mail, of which I did not receive. I strongly believe Westlake is lying about sending a validation they do not have. I am now at your mercy. I have a XXXX XXXX XXXX and Westlake had recently reported to the Credit Bureaus that I owe over {$20000.00} and stated my debt for 12 years which is absurd. I am now filing a lawsuit against Westlake, on top of several lawsuits they're already and have been facing.

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against TransUnion for failing to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and for their negligent handling of my credit dispute. Despite my efforts to request verification of inaccurate information on my credit report, TransUnion has failed to provide proper documentation or remove unverifiable accounts, violating my rights under federal law.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Procedure in Case of Disputed Accuracy ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( Permissible Purpose of Consumer Reports ), TransUnion is required to conduct a reasonable investigation and provide verification of
disputed information. However, they failed to comply with these obligations and continued to report inaccurate information, which is a direct violation of the FCRA.

Furthermore, TransUnions negligence in failing to properly investigate and correct the inaccuracies on my credit report constitutes a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681o ( Civil Liability for Negligence ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681n ( Civil Liability for Willful Non-Compliance ). This negligence has negatively impacted my creditworthiness and caused undue financial harm.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has already documented Equifaxs repeated failures to properly investigate consumer disputes, leading to legal action for violations of the FCRA. This repeated pattern of noncompliance is unacceptable, and I will not allow my credit profile to be a casualty of Equifaxs negligence.

Federal law ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) mandates that Equifax conduct a thorough and legitimate reinvestigation of any disputed information within 30 days. Any item that can not be 100 % verified with legitimate documentation must be deleted immediately. I demand immediate corrective action, as these inaccuracies are actively harming my financial standing. Continued noncompliance and any further delay in addressing these issues will not go unnoticed.
