State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint and dispute against Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion regarding the continued reporting of several closed accounts on my credit reports. These accounts are outdated, no longer legally required to be reported or not accurate and are causing harm to my creditworthiness. 

CLOSED ACCOUNT ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ), credit reporting agencies are prohibited from reporting closed accounts with negative information ( such as late payments or delinquencies ) more than seven years after the date of the first delinquency. Furthermore, even if the accounts were paid in full and closed by the consumer or creditor, the ongoing presence of these closed accounts particularly if outdated or inaccurately listed may misrepresent my current financial situation and violate the FCRAs standards of fairness and accuracy.

I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureaus, but the accounts remain listed despite my good faith efforts. Therefore, I am requesting that the CFPB intervene and investigate this matter immediately.

The following actions are requested : Immediate removal of all closed accounts or inaccurate that exceed the 7-year reporting period.

Verification and deletion of any closed accounts that are inaccurately reported or unverifiable under FCRA 1681i. 

A formal response regarding the results of your investigation and actions taken. 

Thank you for your attention and prompt handling of this matter.

Complaint narrative:
This is not the first time I've had to deal with unauthorized activity on my credit file. I'm now disputing multiple hard inquiries that were placed on my Equifax report without my consent or any legitimate reason : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX ). I did not initiate any transactions or authorize these entities to access my credit file. Under the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ), a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a report with the consumer 's written instruction or for a permissible purpose. These inquiries were made without my knowledge or consent and therefore lack a valid permissible purpose. Do you know the case XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  The court made it clear that furnishing a credit report without a valid purpose is a serious FCRA violation. If you dont want to end up in that same position, DELETE THESE INQUIRIES FROM MY CREDIT REPORT.

I contacted PNC customer service to discuss using an outside appraisal ( XXXX completed for a HELOC loan through a different bank ) and PNC customer service agreed this would be fine and provided the process of submitting the appraisal without indicating there would be any issues with this removal request.

When asked what PNC would or could do to rectify this they stated " nothing '' and further stated they were " sorry '' that I was mislead by their staff, despite providing a paid for appraisal that factually provides proof that my PMI removal request meets the standards.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cashapp ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.
