Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Creditor Failed to Respond to Credit Dispute Within 30 Days Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian / XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NC XXXX Account # XXXX and Account # XXXX and Account # XXXX for failing to respond to my credit dispute within the legally mandated 30-day timeframe, as required by federal law. Despite submitting my dispute on XX/XX/XXXX they responded on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXXXXXX and Experian has failed to provide verification of the disputed account as outlined under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputes and communicate with the information provider within 30 days of receiving a dispute. Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) mandates that creditors and furnishers of information must conduct a proper investigation and report the results to the credit reporting agency within the same timeframe. This failure to comply not only violates these statutory obligations but also jeopardizes my rights as a consumer to fair and accurate credit reporting.

Given the creditors non-compliance with federal law, the account in question must be promptly removed from my credit report. Failure to do so constitutes willful negligence, which exposes the creditor and any associated credit reporting agencies to potential legal action. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, I am entitled to statutory damages, punitive damages, attorney 's fees, and court costs if the violations are found to be willful.

I demand the immediate removal of this account from my credit report and written confirmation that this matter has been resolved within 10 business days of your receipt of this letter. Should this issue remain unresolved, I am fully prepared to escalate the matter by pursuing legal action and filing complaints with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and the Attorney Generals office.

I trust that the CFPB will address this issue promptly and enforce the legal obligations owed to me as a consumer. Please confirm receipt of this letter and provide a resolution to my complaint at the earliest possible opportunity.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent.

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I have notified Experian that I have been the victim of fraud. I have asked them to remove the fraudulent inquiries. I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. 

This dispute is submitted under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C.1681i, which requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed items. Recent findings by the CFPB have brought to light significant concerns regarding Experian 's failure to conduct proper investigations. Specifically, in a lawsuit filed against Experian, the CFPB alleges that the company engaged in sham investigations, violating consumer protection laws by failing to meet its obligations under the FCRA. As per 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Experian is required to conduct a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of disputed items within 30 days. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C.1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable must be promptly deleted or corrected. Failure to adhere to these requirements constitutes a violation of federal law. 

I hereby request Experian to remove the following ( 3 ) inaccurate, unverifiable, fraudulent inquiries from my report. 

1. XXXX XXXX/XXXX/24 2. XXXXXX/XX/XXXX/XXXX/24 3. XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/24

Complaint narrative:
I have 4 collection agencies trying to collect a debt that I do not owe them, they have improperly used my credit report to stifle my financial endeavors causing me to not have access to vital assistance from other parties. I never signed into any agreement with these companies and the fact that XXXX XXXX and equifax is allowing access to these third party companies to damage XXXX citizens credit reports is insane. I have disputed these reports multiple times and ask for evidence that I have a signed agreement for the debt and have received nothing but a denied removal. 

This was the statement I put in my dispute : I have no knowledge of who this collection agency is as I have never entered into any agreement to work with them, could I please be provided with evidence stating that I have signed into any agreement with this company. 

I would also like to reference these codes 15 USC 1681b 15 USC 6802 18 USC 1028a

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
I applied for an XXXX XXXX credit card with Citi Bank because I received an advertisement saying that if I were instantly approved my check bags would be free. I applied for the credit card, was instantly approved, and received a pop up saying to close the window and the price of my bags would be adjusted to {$0.00}. I followed the instructions, but was still charged for the bags. I called Citi bank and spent over half an hour trying to navigate their automated system before being put on the line with someone who was extremely rude and told me that I was wrong. She said that in order to receive the free bag I needed to have purchased the flight tickets with the card, I tired to explain and even read her the promotional offer that emphasized that my bags for this flight would be free, but she just kept telling me I was wrong even though I had screenshots of the terms. I asked to speak with a manager and he was just as rude and told me I could physically mail them the screenshots for review if I wanted. The manager ended up closing my card after insisting that I was wrong even though I was reading him direct quotes from the advertisement. After my trip I called XXXX XXXX to request that the bag fees be refunded and they said they couldn't because my card had been closed. This whole process is manipulatively deceptive and it's clear that they make the promised rewards incredibly hard to received.
