Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I understand that the CFPB has filed a statement of interest in the XXXX  bankruptcy case, indicating their belief that XXXX may have violated the Consumer Financial Protection Act. I am writing to provide a personal statement regarding the financial and emotional harm I have experienced as a result of the account disruptions tied to XXXX XXXX XXXX and its associated partner banks and fintech platforms. 

My Background I was a customer of Juno, which used XXXX XXXX XXXX to facilitate banking services. My account was held at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and was frozen on or around XX/XX/year>, WITHOUT warning. 

The Harm I Suffered When my account was frozen, I had {$5300.00} in the account. Since then, I have recovered {$0.00}, leaving the entire amount still inaccessible OVER a year later. 

This interruption has caused me significant hardship. Specifically : My wife and I are retired and our sole source of income is Social Security Disability benefits. We are relying on this cash and the interest we would have earned for over a year to purchase needed medical equipment and medicines. Because we haven't been able to get our money, these important items have been placed on hold. We are in dire need of our money! I have XXXX, and require expensive medications and hired help to do daily tasks. 

I am not a venture capitalist or an institutional investorI am a retail consumer who trusted a financial product that was marketed as safe and FDIC-insured. No one should lose access to their legally deposited money because of behind-the-scenes failures between banks and middleware providers.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers. 

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.
