State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally demand your agency 's compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in connection with the ongoing mishandling of my credit file. Despite multiple dispute attempts, you have failed to remove fraudulent accounts that do not belong to me and continue to report unverifiable information. This conduct is in direct violation of federal law and my consumer rights. 
The accounts listed below were opened fraudulently as a result of identity theft. I have submitted several dispute letters requesting their removal, yet you have responded with vague and non-substantive explanations that do not meet the legal standards required under the FCRA.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are legally obligated to perform a meaningful investigation upon receipt of a consumer dispute. Your continued reliance on form responses without providing original validation of the debts in question constitutes noncompliance.

Moreover, 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) mandates that consumer reporting agencies ensure the highest possible level of accuracy in reporting. Your agencys failure to take corrective action demonstrates a reckless disregard of these obligations. 
You are hereby given 30 days from the date of this letter to provide the following : 1. Full and original verification documents from the creditors proving the validity of the accounts in questionnot generic responses ; 2. A comprehensive outline of the investigation performed, detailing each step taken ; 3. The names, job titles, and contact details of the individuals responsible for reviewing and responding to my dispute ; 4. Written confirmation that all unverifiable information has been permanently deleted from my credit file pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ).

If you fail to respond adequately within the timeframe stated, I will pursue immediate legal action. This includes filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and the New Jersey State Attorney General. I will also proceed with litigation under 15 U.S.C. 1681n for willful noncompliance, which allows for the recovery of statutory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, and costs. 
The following accounts are fraudulent, and I have already received confirmation from the relevant banks that they should not be associated with my credit profile. Please review and remove these accounts immediately, and provide supporting verification if you continue to report them : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am resubmitting my complaint regarding claim number XXXX, originally filed with Wells Fargo on XX/XX/year>, for unauthorized debit card transactions totaling {$5300.00}. 

Wells Fargo denied my claim on XX/XX/year>, citing that the transactions were authorized by me or someone who had my authority. This conclusion is false. I want to clearly state that I did not authorize these charges, nor did I give anyone permission to use my card or access my account in any capacity. These were fraudulent transactions. 

Their investigation appears to have been rushed and lacked a proper review of supporting evidence. I was not contacted for any clarifying details, nor was I given the opportunity to provide additional documentation before a final decision was made. Despite Wells Fargo 's claim that their process meets the 10-business-day timeframe, I believe they closed the dispute prematurely and failed to conduct a thorough investigation.

Key points : The disputed charges were made without my knowledge or consent.

I reported the transactions promptly.

I did not receive a temporary credit during the investigation, which Wells Fargo says is standard if more time is needed.

I was not offered a clear explanation or documentation supporting their denial. 

Requested Resolution : I respectfully request : That this claim be reopened and thoroughly re-investigated ; That I receive a temporary credit for the full amount during this renewed investigation, as outlined under Regulation E protections ; That I be provided with clear, written documentation used to deny my initial dispute.

I appreciate the CFPB 's assistance in ensuring that Wells Fargo adheres to proper dispute procedures and upholds my consumer rights under federal law. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I was involved in a head-on collision on XX/XX/XXXX, and the vehicle tied to my auto loan with XXXX XXXX was declared a total loss. The balance was in the process of being paid off through an insurance settlement and a GAP insurance claim.

I informed the lender of the situation and provided claim documentation. Despite this, the lender continued to report the loan as delinquent to Experian. I disputed the account with Experian on XX/XX/year>, and submitted supporting documentation including the accident report, settlement offer, and GAP claim number. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Experian closed the dispute and claimed the information was verified as accurate, yet the delinquency was a direct result of a total-loss insurance/GAP process, not willful nonpayment. I believe Experian failed to conduct a full and fair investigation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

This inaccurate reporting is harming my credit profile even though the debt was being resolved through appropriate channels. I am requesting that Experian reinvestigate this matter with full consideration of the evidence and update or remove the derogatory reporting related to this loan.

This is a formal complaint regarding an unresolved dispute I submitted over 35 days ago. I am acting on my own behalf as a natural person and consumernot through any third party. I am requesting the CFPBs intervention due to a failure to properly investigate and resolve a billing error dispute and continued inaccurate reporting on my credit file.

I am asserting my rights under both the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

The issue concerns inaccurate late payment reporting related to : Disputed Account Late Payment ( Open ) Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX Co Account Number : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Reason for Dispute This account reflects late payments that are inaccurate based on the following violations under 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) Billing Error : The creditor failed to properly reflect a payment or credit ; There may be calculation or accounting errors ; I did not receive a billing statement at least 21 days before the payment due date, as required by law.

Despite my previous dispute, I have not received any supporting documentation proving that these late payments are valid. Under the law, if such documentation can not be provided, the inaccurate payment history must be corrected or removed.

Complaint narrative:
I mailed a formal debt validation letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>, requesting verification under FDCPA 15 USC 1692g. They never responded. 

I then disputed the account with Experian on XX/XX/year>, and again on XX/XX/year>, including a copy of the validation letter, my ID, PG & E bill, and Social Security card. 

Experian refused to remove the account and claimed it was verified but no documents or proof were ever provided. 

This account may be the result of a data breach I experienced with XXXX, and I believe it does not belong to me. 

This violates the FCRA because no verification was provided. Im requesting that XXXX 's account be removed immediately from my credit report.
