Complaint narrative:
I have previously disputed Experian, XXXX  and Transunion regarding multiple accounts that are inaccurate. As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I discovered several unfamiliar accounts and inquiries on my credit report. These included credit cards and loans that I did not apply for or authorize. After investigating further, I realized I had become a victim of identity theft. The person responsible used my stolen personal information to open and access multiple financial products without my knowledge or consent. 

I immediately filed a police report with the XXXX Police Department and began submitting fraud claims and disputes with the credit bureaus. Despite taking these steps, some accounts have not been removed and continue to negatively impact my credit score. This situation has caused me significant distress, and I am still working to resolve the damage.

Im sharing this publicly to raise awareness and help others recognize the signs of identity theft early and take action.

Complaint narrative:
Several negative accounts and inquiries are showing up on my credit report that I do not recognize or authorize. I have never received proper validation or documentation from the original creditors to prove that these accounts are accurate or even belong to me. Some accounts are listed as charge-offs or in collections with amounts and dates that do not match my records. There are also multiple hard inquiries from companies Ive never applied with, which I believe were done without my permission. I have already tried disputing these items in the past, but they continue to report inaccurate or unverifiable information. This has caused unnecessary damage to my credit and made it harder for me to qualify for financial opportunities. I am requesting a thorough investigation and for these accounts to be removed if they can not be fully verified with proper documentation.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Experian for failing to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding timely dispute resolution. 

On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a written dispute letter to Experian, disputing multiple unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report. Experian confirmed via phone on XX/XX/year> that they received my dispute, but they never responded within the 30-day window as required under FCRA 611. 

I spoke with an Experian representative who admitted they received the dispute but claimed it wasnt worded correctly and therefore they did not investigate or respond. The FCRA does not require any specific legal wording to trigger an investigation it only requires that a consumer notifies the bureau of a dispute. Their failure to respond is a direct violation of federal law. 

During the phone call, Experian agreed to re-dispute only 3 of the hard inquiries, but refused to take action on the others, without valid justification. This selective action, combined with their failure to notify me in writing within 30 days, demonstrates noncompliance with FCRA.

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and hold Experian accountable for the following violations : 1 ) Failing to complete an investigation within 30 days of receiving my dispute ( FCRA 611 ) 2 ) Failing to notify me of the results of their investigation XXXX ) Failing to delete unverifiable inquiries as required I am also requesting that Experian delete all hard inquiries disputed in my original letter, due to lack of timely response and failure to verify. 

Supporting documentation such as mail receipts, notes from the phone call, and a copy of my original dispute letter can be provided upon request.

Complaint narrative:
First off, chase has previously closed my credit card line through them before. This was a mistake when I was attempting to close my checking line with them. 

Fast forward about 6 months and they have closed my credit card again. This time, it was the fraud department who stated that I have too many disputes but didnt elicit what the precise issue was. They didnt give more of a formal reason but its the same as the first time where they gave minimal notice and cancelled my credit card. Everytime they close a line and re-open the line, theres a possibility of my credit taking a hit for this. 

Lastly, I am re-attempting to communicate with chase to reopen the line or better explain the reason. Pursuant to the Fair Billings Credit Act and Equal Opportunity Act, chase cant just close a customers credit line without a justified reason. Chargebacks are a normal thing for customers, considering my reasoning was issues with XXXX who fail to constantly issue refunds past 30 days.

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.
