Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

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 30 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:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than XXXX business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing this complaint to report that my Cash App account was fraudulently compromised on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/year>, and Cash App has failed to properly address or resolve my fraud claim. 

The fraudulent transactions were as follows : XX/XX/year> at XXXX AM {$7500.00} XX/XX/year> at XXXX XXXX  {$15000.00} XX/XX/year> at XXXX AM {$5000.00} During this time, I made multiple attempts to contact Cash App via phone, email, and in-app support. While the fraud was actively occurring, I was able to reach a representative by phone during a fourth attempted withdrawal of {$10000.00}, which they successfully stopped. The representative confirmed the activity was fraudulent, assured me that I would be refunded, and documented that I preferred to receive the refund by mail. I was told to expect an email follow-up within XXXX  days. 

However, despite waiting a month and making daily follow-up calls, I never received the promised resolution. Instead, every dispute I filed through the app was denied with generic responses that directly contradict what I was told by Cash Apps phone support. 

This situation has caused significant financial harm and emotional distress. I believe Cash App has failed to meet its obligations to protect consumers from fraud, investigate disputes in good faith, and provide a timely and consistent resolution. 

I am requesting the CFPBs assistance to ensure : Cash App honors my fraud claim and refunds the stolen funds. 

Cash App provides documentation of its investigation and findings. 

Cash App is held accountable for its failure to properly address this matter. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the credit bureaus continue to mishandle my XXXX student loan account. This is an open account that is currently reporting as in good standing. However, the bureaus are still carrying a 90 day late payment in the history. This is contradictory and misleading. An account can not be reported as current while also being labeled as derogatory. 

I have disputed this with the credit bureaus multiple times. This is my third round of disputes, and they have failed to correct or delete the inaccurate reporting. Their refusal to fix this issue after repeated notice is a willful violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 USC 1681i and 15 USC 1681s-2. The reporting also fails to comply with XXXX standards, which require consistency and maximum possible accuracy. 

Because of the Equifax data breach, I am already a victim of compromised personal information. The continued mishandling of my credit file makes me more vulnerable and has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness. 

I am asking the CFPB to step in and require the credit bureaus to permanently delete the inaccurate late payment remark from my XXXX account and update the record to reflect pays as agreed. This account is open, current, and should not carry a derogatory mark. The bureaus continued reporting of this false information is unlawful and must be corrected immediately.
