Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion regarding their handling of my Round 2 credit dispute.

I submitted a dispute regarding inaccurate information being reported on my credit file. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the bureau is required to conduct a reasonable investigation and either verify, delete, or correct the information within 30 days.

Instead of providing proof of validation or documentation from the furnisher, the bureau responded that the account was verified but did not supply evidence supporting this conclusion. This constitutes a failure to comply with FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). 

The disputed item ( s ) are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Reporting inaccurately as Late XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Reporting inaccurately as Collection XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  - Reporting inaccurately as Collection XXXX  - XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Reporting inaccurately as Collection XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Reporting inaccurately as Late XXXX XXXX - XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Reporting inaccurately as Collection XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Reporting inaccurately as Collection XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  : Reporting inaccurately as Late XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Reporting inaccurately as Late XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Reporting inaccurately as Late XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  - Reporting inaccurately as Collection XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  - Reporting inaccurately as Collection

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint against Experian for unlawful reinsertion of a previously deleted fraudulent account into my credit file, in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The account in questionXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX.... was previously removed following my identity theft dispute, for which I provided a valid FTC Identity Theft Report and supporting documentation. Experian has now reinserted this account without notifying me within five business days and without obtaining the required certification from the furnisher, as mandated by 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). This constitutes a clear violation of the FCRA and has caused me emotional distress, reputational harm, and unnecessary hardship. 
Experians actions reflect willful noncompliance with the law, entitling me to statutory damages under 15 U.S.C. 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), as well as punitive damages under 1681n ( a ) ( 2 ) for reckless disregard of my rights. I am demanding monetary compensation in the amount of {$1500.00} {$1000.00} in statutory damages and {$500.00} for emotional distress and reputational harm. I also reserve the right to pursue additional punitive damages as permitted by law. This complaint is supported by my formal dispute letter dated XX/XX/year>, which is attached and serves as legal notice of Experians violation and my demand for immediate corrective action.

Just a notice in the mail that I am going to get sued for the amount of $ XXXXThis is very convenient due to the fact that they are also being sued for " Cheating Customers Out of {$2.00} XXXX in Interest Payments ''.

Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is a direct response to U.S. Banks reply in my previous case with the CFPB ( Case # XXXX ). Although the CFPB closed that case, I must reopen this matter because U.S. Banks response was false, misleading, and left the issue unresolved. By providing inaccurate information, U.S. Bank is not only wasting my time but also unlawfully withholding my money.

I strongly reject U.S. Banks response regarding my account closure and the withholding of my funds. The explanation provided is inaccurate and unacceptable.

1. The deposit in question was made via mobile banking, and I have photographic evidence proving that the funds from that check were never credited to me. The deposit was placed on hold from the beginning, and I never had access to that money.

2. I also have a recorded phone call with a U.S. Bank representative where I expressed concerns that the check might be fraudulent. The representative assured me that this was not an issue, stating that the check would simply be rejected and that no further problems would arise.

3. In addition, I received an official letter by postal mail from U.S. Bank confirming that the issue with that deposit had already been resolved and closed. 

Furthermore, I must emphasize again that the {$500.00} deposit made via mobile banking was never available to me. I never received those funds ; they remained on hold from the beginning. Yet on XX/XX/XXXX, U.S. Bank deducted {$500.00} from my available balancemoney that came from my personal funds, not from the disputed deposit. This is theft. I am attaching proof showing that the {$500.00} deposit was never released to me, and the deduction on XX/XX/XXXX wrongfully came from my own balance. My original complaint was about this exact issue, and it remains unresolved. 

Therefore, there is no valid reason why my account remains closed and my funds are still being withheld. These funds are entirely unrelated to the disputed deposit. It has now been nearly XXXX months, and U.S. Banks failure to release my money is unreasonable, unjustified, and harmful. 

I demand a clear, written explanation as to why my balance has not been released and a specific, immediate timeline for when I will receive my funds. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will consider this an unlawful withholding of my money and will pursue legal action for the damages caused. 

Finally, I want to be clear : I do not care if U.S. Bank closes my account permanently. I do not wish to continue as a customer of a bank that steals from its clients. My only concern is the immediate release of my money, which has been wrongfully withheld for far too long.

State: NC

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the Experian credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. 
I am filing this FTC Identity Theft Affidavit to report fraudulent accounts appearing on my consumer FICO Experian, XXXX, and XXXX  reports which I do not recognize as reported and which are the result of identity theft and fraud. These fraudulent accounts consist of a credit card account opened at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX  ; a credit card account opened at XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX ; a credit card account opened at XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX and an auto loan account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX. These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I demand that the fraudulent items be removed from my consumer credit reports.

These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent chargeoffs, fraudulent late payments, and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, late payments, or chargeoffs as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and chargeoffs appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, late payments, and charge-offs are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # XXXX as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from my consumer credit report and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws.
