Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, My name is XXXX XXXX, and I'm the proud owner of a XXXX owned business, with our primary focus is consumer credit reporting. 

For the past 30 year I have lent my talents to XXXX of corporate Americas tops in their areas of expertise. I come to the table versed in areas most consumers would never, so I hope my concern as all concerns receive a watchful eye. 

Our consumer right regarding credit reporting is being abused at will and algorithms should shoulder most of the blame. 

The following companies are the ones who must receive this correspondence and must address all the below question with a proper human response and allow for proper follow up and the follow exchange. I will no longer accept automated responses, and neither should you. 

Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXXf, XXXX XXXX 

The contractual agreement or arrangement between the lenders and creditors is not being upheld by the lenders. Area specific, reporting and posting. 

Willingly or unwillingly, the lenders and credit reporting agencies have withheld accurate reporting. Area specific, true value of loss regarding charge off, profit and loss reporting. 

The lenders and credit reporting agencies are using high tech tools to circumvent consumer protection laws and acts on a federal, state, and local level. Area specific, XXXX 

The overseeing body, which is entrusted to enforce our consumer protections, has appeared to have lost the will to enforce a proper human response and adequate time for follow up. Area specific, CFPB. 

As a proud XXXX XXXX XXXX veteran of the XXXX XXXX, I swear an oath to protect this country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. My military training and skill have served me well in the private sector assessing danger on all fronts. 

Like our XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, I too take my services profoundly serious. 

It's about the will to want, versus the will to say I can't. 

In closing, As a consumer I have rights. 
As a citizen I have rights. 
I equally understand if I don't exercise our right, industry will abuse our right and have us believing our rights don't exist. 

It ' time to change the narrative and ask the question no one is asking. Like, how do you serve two masters credit reporting agencies? 

Thank you for your time. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXy XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, New York XXXX Cell : XXXX Email : XXXX Website : XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Yamaha Motor Finance Corporation USA
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I went and bought a motorcycle from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, AZ XXXX ) Motorcycle was bought on XXXX XX/XX/2021 for {$14000.00} and we paid down {$4100.00} and financed XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX was done through dealership. Today i have received a Yamaha credit card in my mail that i never applied for, as per Yamaha we applied it at dealership. I am very financially aware person and don't apply for credit cards anywhere besides my bank, and why would i need a Yamaha credit card. Me and my husband went to buy this motorcycle and not a single time we applied for any credit card or they even mentioned anything that we'll be getting any credit card too. I believe dealership gets paid for getting credit cards and they are doing to people without even their knowledge. My credit has gone down some points because of this and it will go down even further when i will close my account now. Never have i received any credit card without applying ever in my life. i didn't even buy Yamaha motorcycle, this is pure fraud done by dealership and Yamaha Financial services. We are financially well off and are not one of the customers that will be ok with getting new credit card and start using it. Please help me with this.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing without the assistance of any third party company. I am writing this complaint from my understanding of the Federal Law that is presented in my Consumer Credit Contract. I am the consumer, natural person who extended American Express my credit card pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1602 ( l ) along with my signature XXXX XXXX. In that moment, I created a financial asset pursuant to 12 CFR 360.6 ( 2 ) which is known as a negotiable instrument or promissory note. I was denied XX/XX/2021 by American Express which a direct violation pursuant to 12 CFR 226.2 ( 15 ) ( ii ) defines a credit card account under open-end consumer credit plan, 12 CFR 226.2 ( 20 ) open -end credit, 16 CFR 433.1 which defines consumer credit contract, and the consumer, 16 CFR 433.2 which states NOTICE ANY HOLDER OF THIS CONSUMER CREDIT CONTRACT IS SUBJECT TO ALL CLAIMS AND DEFENSES WHICH THE DEBTOR COULD ASSERT AGAINST THE SELLER OF GOODS OR SERVICES OBTAINED PURSUANT HERETO OR WITH THE PROCEEDS HEREOF. RECOVERY HEREUNDER BY THE DEBTOR SHALL NOT EXCEED AMOUNTS PAID BY THE DEBTOR HEREUNDER., and 16 CFR 433.3 which defines a open-end consumer credit contract, what open-end credit means, as well as defines contract which is a consumer credit contract. American Express has committed aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1028A. I have sent several Affidavits, Notices, and Invoices to settle the matter privately yet I have received no response. Today, XX/XX/2021 I spoke with XXXX ID # : XXXX a supervisor representing American Express who informed me that he is unaware of the federal laws stated above and could not assist me unless I reapply and become a victim of their fraudulent practices once more. Ignorance of the law is no excuse!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I have made several attempts to resolve the issues with the credit reporting agencies. There are several accounts, as well as multiple entries listed in my personal information that do not even belong to me. I have submitted an FTC complaint and the credit reporting agencies were also sent a copy in previous letters. I have rights that protect me as a consumer and have notified these agencies of the violations they are committing. Their continued willful non-compliance is unacceptable. 
I am seeking the assistance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Federal Trade Commission, and State Attorney General to remove the fraudulent and inaccurate items that are being reported on my personal credit report. 
I am prepared to seek litigation if this final attempt to remove the items goes ignored. 
I will be uploading the documentation that was previously sent containing the items in question. 
Also note that I AM submitting this complaint on MY OWN behalf and no third party is involved.
