Complaint narrative:
I have tried disputing this debt numerous times for the following reasons. 
XXXX. The hospital told me it was covered by insurance when I was there. 
XXXX. The debt is a medical debt, I never agreed for interest to be charged. It is against the law to charge interest on medical debt under the FDCPA. 
XXXX. The original amount from the hospital that got placed into collections was {$960.00}. Not {$1400.00}. The balance goes up monthly too, because they are adding illegal interest to the debt. 
XXXX. I've sent numerous letters to the company and received nothing back. They ignore me and just keep reporting to my credit higher amounts to XXXX me over into paying them. It seems as if they are extorting me for money.

Complaint narrative:
THIS IS A FOLLOW COMPLAINT. Under federal law, you have 30 days to complete your reinvestigation but still no response. 

On XXXX XXXX XXXX, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were 
inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computergenerated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your 
opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a 
stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I 
believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.
I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint 
with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
I further remind you that, as in White v. XXXX Information Solutions, 993 F. Supp. 2d 1154 - Dist. 
Court, (CD California 2014); you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) by 
recklessly failing to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accurate reporting of debts discharged 
in bankruptcy and by refusing to adequately investigate consumer disputes regarding the status of 
discharged accounts.
I request this under 15 U.S. Code  1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the 
false reporting isnt removed; as in Wenger v. XXXX XXXX Corp., No. 95-6445 (C.D.Cal. Nov. 14,1995), 
you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 
100% accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is 
completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding multiple unresolved issues with my Apple Card. 

First and foremost, a dispute of mine has been supposedly resolved, but I have not received the credited amount. Furthermore, I did not receive any email confirming the resolution. However, my account still displays the transaction as " under review '' instead of the correct status, which should be " credit applied. '' Despite numerous attempts through SMS and phone calls, the issue remains unresolved. Transaction details : {$130.00} on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

The second issue involves a purchase on XXXX, where I cancelled the order immediately to change the payment method. However, both XXXX and Apple Card are deflecting responsibility, each claiming the other is holding the funds. The correct procedure should be an immediate refund. Transaction details : {$110.00} on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I have raised the possibility of a system issue with the bank multiple times, but no resolution has been provided. I request regulatory authorities to oversee the recent actions of Apple Card. 

Sincerely, XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Regarding Credit Report Inaccuracies Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. I have been actively disputing these inaccuracies with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to adequately investigate my claims or remove the incorrect information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I attached the PDF file below containing the list of items that have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681.

Credit Bureau stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify or delete accounts that aren't reporting correctly.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

I also believe that the credit bureaus have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to : XXXX. Investigate my disputes in a timely and reasonable manner : The credit bureaus have not provided a clear explanation for their decision not to remove the inaccurate information, and I believe their investigation was inadequate. 

XXXX. Furnish accurate information to creditors : The inaccurate information on my credit report is harming my ability to obtain credit and other financial services. 

XXXX. Follow the FCRA 's dispute resolution procedures : The credit bureaus have failed to comply with the timeframes and procedures outlined in the FCRA. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate my complaint and take the following actions : XXXX. Order the credit bureaus to remove the inaccurate information from my credit report. 

XXXX. Require the credit bureaus to provide me with a copy of my updated credit report reflecting the changes. 

Enclosures : Copies of my credit reports Copies of my dispute letters Copies of any supporting documentation I provided to the credit bureaus
