Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against credit bureaus due to their repeated failure to respond to my dispute letters regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the proper channels, the credit bureau has not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Despite these multiple submissions, credit bureaus has not provided any response, confirmation of investigation, or correction of the disputed information. This lack of response is a clear violation of the FCRA, which mandates that credit bureaus must investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I have multiple purchases that the merchant charged me for that I didnt receive product for. In some cases I was double charged. I discovered this after a couple of purchases and after going back thru my account with the merchant and trying to fix it with them I filed 62 disputes from the last 60 days with cash ap. They sent denials almost immediately but when I asked for documentation to why it had been denied ( the merchant even agreed there were discrepancies and credited one of my disputed charges back immediately- one cash app denied and showed as a valid charge ) which proved to me they did not investigate their disputes. They have made it impossible to communicate, escalate my case, send a generic email and then close the escalation saying they havent heard from me, even after I attempt every day, multiple times, reply to the emails, with no response. The only documentation they have sent me is on 1 charge where they sent proof I was charged but nothing else. That is apparently their documentation. They also bully and harrass their customers threatening to close their account if they dispute a charge, which they did close my account in this case. Making it harder to look at your history or dispute. Their dispute process is not transparent and in many cases I believe they do not even investigate, just deny to get around providing the provisional credit.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Complaint narrative:
My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in 60 days to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Issue: Repossession — Damage caused or loss of personal items in vehicle during the actual repossession
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Due to a series of unfortunate and unexpected events, I fell behind on my loan. I communicated my difficulties and payment plans to the bank during 90 % of all calls. A payment was made as promised on XX/XX/year>. On XX/XX/year> I called to make another promised payment and advised the rep at that time that I had filed bankruptcy two days prior and my attorney would be reaching out to them. The representative informed me that with this information, she would not be able to accept my payment. On XXXX  I was contacted by a representative asking for a payment. I told her that I had tried to pay earlier but since I filed bankruptcy, my payment was refused and offered to make a payment on this call with her. She put me on hold and came back saying that they could not take my payment. The following day, on XX/XX/year>, I was informed that my vehicle had been towed from a parking lot and on XX/XX/year> received an electronic notification that they had repossessed the vehicle for failure to pay as promised. I did not fail to pay as promised, my payments were refused when I informed them that I had already filed bankruptcy. Their continuing collections activity after being notified of a bankruptcy violates the FDCPA.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information.

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
