Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this follow-up complaint regarding fraudulent information on my credit report that remains unresolved, despite my previous complaint filed 30 days ago. I am disputing this information pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and again request that the fraudulent/unauthorized accounts listed below be blocked or removed immediately.

I have attached a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as fraudulent within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving an identity theft report. However, despite my prior complaint and multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly with TRANSUNION, the following fraudulent accounts remain on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  These accounts are fraudulent and must be blocked immediately. The continued presence of these accounts is severely damaging my creditworthiness and is preventing me from purchasing a home and accessing essential financial services to support my family and economic stability. 

I have requested verification and copies of contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, but after more than 60 days, I have received no response. Additionally, these accounts have been removed by other credit reporting agencies due to lack of verification, yet TRANSUNION continues to report them as mine without proper validation. 

I respectfully urge the CFPB to intervene and ensure that TRANSUNION complies with federal law by blocking these fraudulent accounts immediately and providing me with confirmation of such action.

Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION, THE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Charles Schwab froze my account ending in XXXX in XXXX on the basis of suspected fraud. After holding my funds for weeks and completing a compliance review, Schwab notified me that the review was complete, that the account would be closed, and that my funds would be mailed to me. 

After that written confirmation, Schwab then required me to appear in person to verify my identity, which I did. Following this, instead of mailing the funds as promised, they restarted requests for additional documentation, including repeated demands for bank statementseven though they had already stated the review was complete. 

Because Schwab kept my funds frozen for months, I was unable to pay a business vendor ( XXXX ) on time, which directly caused further account issues, holds, and settlements. This chain of events created unnecessary financial harm to my business operations. 

I am requesting a full release of my funds without further delay, reimbursement for damages caused by their extended and inconsistent handling, and a clear explanation of why Schwab reversed its decision after stating the review was complete.

Complaint narrative:
American Express is inaccurately reporting late payments on my credit report. These negative payment history entries are appearing with all three credit bureaus ( XXXX XXXX and XXXX ). I have carefully reviewed my records and confirmed that I have never missed or made a late payment on my American Express account. 

The late payments being reported are not accurate and are harming my credit score. This is a case of inaccurate reporting, and I am disputing it. I have also filed an FTC Identity Theft Report ( Report # XXXX, dated XX/XX/year> ) to document fraudulent accounts that were opened in my name without authorization. 

I request that American Express immediately investigate this matter and correct my credit report by removing these inaccurate late payments.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a 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 XXXX  days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. 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.

Complaint narrative:
The reporting of this Inquiries/charge-off/collection account is inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable. The furnisher has failed to provide legally required documentation proving the validity of the debt, the amount claimed, or my liability for it. Continuing to report unverifiable and inaccurate information on my credit file is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and my consumer rights. This account is being reported in a manner that is misleading and damaging to my creditworthiness, and I dispute its accuracy in its entirety.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I opened CapitalOne XXXX checking and savings accounts online. As part of the process, I was asked if I wanted to fund the account through an ACH transaction. I selected yes to do so and created the transaction for CaptialOne to withdraw funds from my other bank account with XXXX. 

On XX/XX/year> morning, I validated the XXXX test transactions with CaptialOne. Then, at XXXX AM the same day, I received an email from CaptialOne stating that XXXX or more of your accounts have been restricted due to activity that is inconsistent with typical customer account usage, and we need to verify that recent activity. The email went on to state that,, a restricted account will prevent you from withdrawing money, initiating new transactions and completing pending transactions. I had deposited additional funds through, so in effect Capital one was threatening to hold those funds in addition to the ACH transaction. ( See attached document Email One.pdf ) Later the same morning, I called the phone number in the email. The person stated that CapitalOne had to validate that the XXXX account was mine and that the balance was available. The CapitalOne representative and I had a conference call with a XXXX representative and the XXXX representative validated that it is my account and that the balance is available. 
CapitalOne made the transfer, but as of XX/XX/year> had not released any of the funds. As of noon today ( XX/XX/year> ), CapitalOne had only released a small portion of the funds.. 
To add insult to injury, CapitalOne sent an email to Saturday evening ( XX/XX/year> ) that my savings account will be closed if funds arent added in time. ( See attached document Email Two.pdf ). 

CapitalOnes practices are not only poor customer service, but they are deceptive. Had CaptialOne been open about their tactics when asking if I wanted to fund my account, I would have simply pushed the funds to my CapitalOne account from my XXXX account. This has not only wasted so much of my time, it has caused an extreme amount of stress having my funds held for so long. 

I called CapitalOne this morning to let them know that if my funds werent released by noon, I would file a complaint with the CPFB.

Complaint narrative:

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.

I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am disputing an alleged debt ( Original Creditor : XXXX, Current Creditor : Crown Assessments Management, LLC, Account # XXXX, Reference # XXXX, Balance : {$21000.00} ). 

On XX/XX/year>, Crown Assessments sent me a pre-legal notice demanding payment. On XX/XX/year>, I sent a certified dispute/validation request, they received it on XX/XX/year>. On XX/XX/year>, I sent a second certified request, they received it on XX/XX/year>. Crown Assessments has never responded, which is in violation of FDCPA 1692g ( b ). 

As of XX/XX/year>, this account no longer appears on XXXX or XXXX. However, Crown Assessments has not validated the debt or confirmed permanent suppression, leaving me at risk of future re-reporting or collection attempts. 

Under FDCPA 1692g ( b ), the debt is uncollectable. Under FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) and 1681s-2 ( b ), unverifiable accounts can not be reported. Under XXXX XXXX standards, the account must remain suppressed. 

Additionally, Equifax confirmed that my personal information ( SSN, address, email ) was impacted in a data breach, raising concerns of fraud. Reporting or attempting to collect under these conditions violates FDCPA 1692e. 

Certified mail receipts and green cards ( delivered XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX breach impacted confirmation
