Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report related to identity theft. I submitted my initial dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, along with a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report and additional documentation supporting my claim. However, your agency has failed to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Violations of the FCRA 1.Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute. Despite providing a comprehensive FTC Identity Theft Report and detailed supporting evidence, I have not received confirmation of any substantive investigation into the disputed items.

2.Failure to Notify Me of Investigation Results ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ) The FCRA mandates that consumers be notified of the results of an investigation within 30 days of submitting a dispute. To date, I have not received any such notification, nor have I been informed of the outcome of your review or the process by which my dispute was evaluated.

3.Failure to Block Inaccurate Information Promptly ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to block information resulting from identity theft upon receipt of appropriate documentation, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report. This has not occurred in my case.

Precedent Cases Supporting My Position Your failure to comply with FCRA requirements is not only a violation of my rights but also exposes your agency to liability, as demonstrated in precedent cases : XXXX XXXX TransUnion XXXX ( XXXX ) : This case emphasized that credit reporting agencies have a duty to conduct reasonable investigations beyond relying on the data provided by furnishers. 

XXXX v. TransUnion LLC ( XXXX ) : The Supreme Court upheld consumer rights in disputes related to credit reporting inaccuracies, reinforcing the accountability of credit bureaus under the FCRA. 

Requested Resolution To resolve this matter, I demand the following actions : 1.Conduct a reasonable and thorough reinvestigation of the disputed accounts and transactions associated with my identity theft.

2.Provide a detailed written summary of your investigation, including the steps taken and evidence reviewed.

3.Immediately block or remove all inaccurate information resulting from the identity theft.

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint by filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and potentially pursuing legal remedies.

Company: Mandarich Law Group, LLP
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The Dept collector had sent me to court back in XXXX for XXXX specific case. They garnished my paycheck until full amount was collectted. In XX/XX/XXXX the full balance was paid off completely. Everything was fine as the debt collector had received their payment. I have proof from XXXX paystub that full amount of {$2200.00} has been paid and balance is at XXXX. 
Then in XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from the same debt collector about a second card that needs to be paid. Which at court they did not mentioned the secord credit card account. I asked for how much is the balance and they told me {$1600.00}. I told the person okay I will pay that right now over the phone to have that clear as well. The payment was made and paid in full. I also have proof on my bank statement of the debt collector had charge my account. 
Last week I received a letter from same debt collector about the same case and that the funds has not been paid and are sending me again to court on XX/XX/XXXX. I tried reaching out to them and had no success by phone neither by emails. Im still waiting for a respond from them and as of yet no response.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
This account was reported as a collection/charge off. The reporting of this accout is incorrect as I still see a balance after it was charged off. Also, please explain why there is a past due balance of {$7500.00} while the report shows as a charge off? I am pretty sure you know this is a violation? I urge your agency to re-investigate this account and ensure that correct, fair and complete reporting is given. I don't believe the status of this accout is accurate either. Delete due to multiple violations and amount inaccuracies. Furthermore JPMCB keeps placing this collection back on my credit report with inaccuracies dates, amounts, no debt validation, no chain of title, no forward flow agreement, no original contract with signature, and never received a 1099c due to charge off and insurance claim from original agreement. Due to so many violations and no debt validation this needs to be addressed immediately and Delete

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding Discover Bank, who has failed to send me a copy of the 1099-C form for the charged off amount of {$2700.00} XX/XX/2024. Additionally, Discover Bank is attempting to sue me for a debt that they have already charged off, which I believe constitutes multiple violations of relevant laws. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX : This statute requires creditors to report the cancellation of debt, including the obligation to issue a 1099-C form to consumers when a debt of {$600.00} or more has been canceled. 

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : This act prohibits debt collectors from engaging in unfair or deceptive practices, including the collection of debts that have been charged off. Specifically, it is a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 2 ) ( A ) to falsely represent the character or legal status of a debt.

Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ) : Under the CFPA, any unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts in connection with the collection of debts are prohibited. Attempting to collect on a debt that is charged off raises concerns under this legislation.

The combination of the failure to issue the 1099-C form and the unlawful attempt to collect on a charged-off debt not only jeopardizes my financial standing but also raises serious concerns about the legality of the practices employed by Discover Bank. These actions may indicate broader issues of fraudulent business practices and consumer rights violations.

I kindly request that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate action, as it affects not only my financial well-being but may also impact other consumers facing similar issues.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax, Transunion & Experian for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report.

Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation.

This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.
