Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies are required to handle credit information fairly and respect every consumers right to privacy. Accurate reporting is essential to the banking system, and unfair or inaccurate reporting harms public trust. I never gave my explicit written consent for these agencies to report my information, which violates 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ). Because of this, I am now dealing with an alleged case of identity theft, covered under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and the accounts listed are not connected to any transactions made by me.

Additionally, the debt collector involved has violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). They violated 15 U.S.C. 1692f by attempting to collect amounts not authorized by any agreement or by law. They also violated 15 U.S.C. 1692e by using false, misleading, or deceptive methods to collect a debt or obtain my information. On top of that, they have contacted me at inconvenient times and have harassed me about a debt that is not mine, which is strictly prohibited. THE FOLLOWING ACCOUNTS ARE NEED TO BE REMOVED :
MOHELA - Under 15 U.S Code 1605 ( a ) If a Finance Charge was included which is the sum of all payments There Should be no late payments on this account.

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 4 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.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease — Problem with signing the paperwork
Company: Carvana Group, LLC
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for financing with XXXX and paid a {$4700.00} down payment for a used vehicle ( VIN : XXXX ). XXXX withdrew the down payment on XX/XX/XXXX but never delivered the vehicle. They scheduled delivery and then delayed it XXXX times ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ), each time requiring me to re-sign purchase contracts even though I had never seen or inspected the car. 

XXXX website also forced me to sign all contracts before delivery ( deadline XX/XX/XXXX ), which contradicts XXXX own Retail Purchase Agreement stating I XXXX inspect and reject the vehicle at delivery and must be able to review contract terms before signing. 

I repeatedly requested the repair order, emissions test paperwork, and a written summary of repairs, but XXXX refused to provide them, stating these documents are not typically provided. 

On the most recent scheduled delivery date ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX emailed and texted me that the vehicle had a check-engine light and was unsafe for delivery today. This was the fourth failed delivery and shows the vehicle was never repaired properly. 

Because I do not have a vehicle, I incurred {$630.00} in XXXX transportation expenses and {$120.00} in insurance premiums for a car I never received. XXXX also sent me a financing notice on XX/XX/XXXX stating my loan application became inactive because the purchase was not completed within 28 days due to their delays. 

I attempted to resolve this with XXXX support team and their XXXX XXXX XXXX, but they still refuse to provide a firm delivery date, any repair documentation, reimbursement, a replacement vehicle option, or a refund timeline. I believe XXXX conduct is unfair and abusive : taking my down payment, failing to deliver a safe vehicle, refusing required disclosures, forcing pre-signing of contracts, and causing documented financial harm.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be updated. 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. EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because TransUnion is reporting inaccurate phone numbers on my credit file without verification. The numbers being published are XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. These numbers are not tied to my identity, and their continued reporting is incorrect and misleading. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Publishing personal contact information that does not belong to the consumer violates this requirement. Inaccurate contact data can cause mixed-file issues, improper communications, and harm consumer identity profiles. TransUnion has not demonstrated any verification process for how these numbers were added or reviewed. I am requesting assistance to require TransUnion to fully delete these numbers unless lawful validation can be produced. My consumer report should not contain unverified contact information. I expect TransUnion to bring my file into compliance immediately.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute fraudulent information listed on my credit report, pursuant to my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request the immediate block and removal of this information. For evidence, I have attached a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ). 
As stipulated by 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, upon the filing of an identity theft report, consumer reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as stemming from the theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following items on my report are a direct result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In compliance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that these accounts be immediately frozen on my credit report. This block must remain in effect for a period of no less than one year, subject to extension, and during this time, no information related to these fraudulent accounts may be reported. 
I have previously contacted the bureau on multiple occasions regarding these accounts, yet the matter remains unresolved. The continued presence of these inaccurate items is causing significant personal and financial hardship by obstructing my ability to secure financing for a home and other essential financial tools. Furthermore, these specific accounts have already been removed by other major credit bureaus after failing verification, which underscores the inaccuracy of their reporting. 
In accordance with my rights, I also requested verification documents and contract copies from the furnishing companies for these accounts. After the legally permissible period has elapsed ( over 60 days ), I have received no response. Given the lack of verification and their fraudulent nature, I respectfully urge you to facilitate the immediate and permanent removal of these accounts from my credit file.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute XXXX unauthorized Inquiry on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ). After reviewing my recent credit report, I have identified the following inquiry that I do not recognize or authorized : Disputed Inquiry XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX Car Dealership. 


Basis for Dispute Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) states that I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report. 


Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report. 
Request I demand a prompt, thorough, and reasonable reinvestigation of each disputed inquiry. 
Should you fail to obtain evidence of a proper permissible purpose and my express consent, you must immediately delete the unauthorized inquiries. 
I require that you provide me with a written statement of the results of your investigation, a corrected copy of my credit report, and the contact information for the furnisher of the inquiry, all within the 30-day statutory period.
