Complaint narrative:
XXXX continues its stance regarding the validity of their perceived permissible purpose, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), citing my application via XXXX as the proof. However, despite my repeated requests, XXXX has yet to provide conclusive documentation to substantiate their claim or refute mine. As a consumer, I have the right to understand the basis upon which my credit report was accessed and an unauthorized hard inquiry was placed upon it. The absence of such documentary evidence further exhibits XXXX 's lack of permissible purpose and adds to my concerns regarding the handling of this matter. It is imperative to underscore the legal parameters set forth in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - a consumer report can only be furnished under specific circumstances, namely, with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it pertains. Given the absence of written instructions from me, the consumer, and XXXX 's refusal to provide sufficient documentary evidence, the permissible purpose remains absent and necessitates further clarification. Although an application for an extension of credit may fall within the 'credit transaction involving the consumer ' category, it is crucial to recognize that mere submission of an application doesn't automatically confer permissible purpose for accessing a consumer report. XXXX is required to obtain the consumer 's written consent and/or provide notice to the consumer regarding their intent to access their credit report for this purpose. No notice was sent to the consumer nor was written consent given by the consumer. Therefore, the mere act of submitting an application for an extension of credit does not grant the XXXX permissible purpose under the FCRA to access my consumer report without my explicit written consent. XXXX gained access and furnished an unauthorized inquiry to my consumer report without written consent, this is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b. As per 15 U.S. Code 1681n, XXXX Financial is civilly liable to me for obtaining a consumer report without permissible purpose. While I appreciate XXXX 's effort in providing my application, it does not absolve them of their violations or their obligation to adhere to federal consumer protection laws. Given the seriousness of this issue and the impact on my creditworthiness, mental stability, and financial well-being, I urge the CFPB to investigate for full FCRA compliance XXXX Until then, I can't consider this matter resolved and reserve the right to pursue further legal action to protect my rights. I request the CFPB to investigate and ensure an amicable resolution for this violation, holding the institution accountable for failing to comply with federal consumer protection laws.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding inaccurate late payments that remain on my credit report despite multiple attempts to correct the information. The credit reporting agencies and the creditor have failed to provide any documentation or evidence of the accuracy of their reporting, yet they continue to report the inaccurate information on my credit report. 
I have sent multiple letters to the credit reporting agencies disputing the accuracy of the late payments, citing laws such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Credit Billing Act. In response, the credit reporting agencies claimed to have verified the accuracy of their reporting, without providing any evidence or documentation to support their claims. 
I have also sent a letter to the creditor disputing the late payments, and demanding the immediate removal of the late payments from my account, as well as the production of documentation such as transactional history, billing statements, and any other documents that the law allows me to request from creditors regarding billing errors. The creditor has failed to respond to my request. 
Despite my efforts, the inaccurate late payments remain on my credit report, damaging my credit score and making it difficult for me to obtain credit or loans. I requested this information to be corrected XXXX of XXXX.
