Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Description : I am requesting the removal of a single late payment reported by American Express on my credit reports for XX/XX/year>. I have been a loyal American Express cardholder for over 20 years, and this is the only late payment ever reported on my account during that entire time.

The late payment was caused by a combination of two extraordinary factors : 1. An authorized user on my account failed to pay his portion of the charges, and 2. Some of the charges made on his card were later determined to be fraudulent.

I delayed payment temporarily while I worked with American Express to investigate and resolve the unauthorized charges. As soon as the situation was clarified, I paid the account in full.

I contacted American Express multiple times to explain the situation and request a goodwill adjustment to remove the late payment. Despite my otherwise perfect 20-year history, they have declined to assist.

I believe this late payment does not accurately reflect my creditworthiness or payment behavior and request that it be removed from my credit reports due to the extenuating circumstances and the long-standing responsible use of my account.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than XXXX  days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and XXXX  data breach.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this second CFPB complaint because Equifax failed to respond appropriately to my previous one ( # XXXX ). I originally disputed a XXXX XXXX XXXX on my Equifax credit report and requested proper verification. 

On XX/XX/year>, Equifax completed a reinvestigation and claimed the bankruptcy was verified on XX/XX/year>. However, this is not valid verification under FCRA XXXX XXXX. XXXX the only public record vendor Equifax uses was frozen prior to XX/XX/XXXX. Also, bankruptcy courts do not report directly to credit bureaus. 

In their response to my prior CFPB complaint, Equifax refused to explain how they verified the bankruptcy. Instead, they deflected by asking for identity verification even though they already verified the bankruptcy without verifying my identity. I have now provided my ID to remove this excuse. 

I am requesting lawful documentation of how this item was verified, or immediate deletion of the bankruptcy entry. If Equifax can not prove legal and reasonable verification, it must be removed as required by FCRA Section 611. 

This is a follow-up to my prior CFPB complaint # XXXX. Equifax used the excuse of identity verification to delay responding, even though they already verified the bankruptcy without verifying my identity. That delay tactic wasted weeks of time and avoided the core legal issue. I am now submitting my ID again and request this matter be expedited. I do not want to wait another 60 days for the same generic response.

Company: Chime Financial Inc

Complaint narrative:
I disputed XXXX unauthorized XXXX XXXX  Balance Add transactions on XX/XX/XXXX totaling {$430.00}. Chime denied my dispute without giving any explanation. I recently submitted new proof showing that I never received the funds. 

Whats especially frustrating is that a second dispute for the exact same type of charges that happened on XX/XX/XXXX was approved and refunded. Both sets of transactions occurred within a two-day window, none of them were authorized by me, and none of the money reached my XXXX XXXX balance. 

Ive already had to replace my Chime card twice due to fraud, and Im concerned about how inconsistently this situation has been handled. Ive reached out multiple times asking for a review with my new proof, and Ive received no resolution.

Im requesting that Chime reopen my XX/XX/XXXX dispute and refund the {$430.00} in unauthorized charges.
