Complaint narrative:
This is in regards to a XXXX  account. The exact account will be included in the attached documents. I have contacted the company directly, and they refused to remove or update any of the information. I then contacted each credit bureau and they also refused to take any action. I made a complaint to CFPB regarding the company, the answer that the CFPB gave was that they sent me a letter -the company simply refused to correct or delete any of the incorrect information. I proceeded to submit CFPB cases connected to the credit bureaus lack of action, and pointing out the issues, as well as the companies lack of action. I implore you to review the documents attached, as I have gone in to explicit detail regarding the lack of action in regards to my complaint and disputes. Fast forward nearly two years and the account continues to be inaccurately and unfairly reported to my credit report. I do not have knowledge of this account, first of all. Additionally, because the account is reported differently across all three bureaus the negative impact is varied. This continues to damage to my credit, causing me to suffer with paying higher than average interest rates on my housing, car, and insurance.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Received a mailer with an bonus offer for switching to Citizens. 
It asked me to go to their website citizensbank.com/checkingoffer and enter offer code XXXX. I did that and it let me proceed. 
I chose Quest Checking and entered all my personal information, including Social Security Number. 

After all information was given to Citizens Bank, I received a message saying they could not validate the offer code, and asking me to continue without the bonus. 

I find this absurd that a bank sent an offer that doesn't work, and that it only tells me at the end after providing all my information even though the first input I provided was the offer code. 

See attached the mailer and the screen error.

Complaint narrative:
Approximately a year ago I received a bill from a creditor stating I owed {$400.00} that was taken out with " Comenity Capital Bank BJ 's. I immediately contacted XXXX and asked that an investigation be conducted. I also contacted the creditor and asked what this was all about since I never opened a credit card with BJ 's, but did have a membership that was opened on XXXX. The creditor insisted that it was opened by me at which time I asked for them to send me the location of the store where the card was opened so I can report the incident to my local police department. Unfortunately I have yet to get this information. I am attaching two of the harassing bills that they have sent me, one of which I am being threatened, as they state they will take legal action.

Complaint narrative:
This is so annoying & frustrating. Ive sent EQUIFAX multiple letters that Im the one whos disputing the items that are UNKNOWN to me. In Equifaxs responses that make the claim that have not initiated any disputes on my behalf due to the fraudulent or high risk nature, and the documents I provided have either been confirmed as fraudulent or deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. This is a complete joke. How in the world did they verify these claims? First of all, I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, I never sent my documentation to anyone else as it deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. Also, according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. ( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. Again, under FCRA 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court. I need your help! As a consumer, I need to correct my credit file for my credit worthiness, credit standing, or credit capacity to obtain my rights and My Financial Freedom that has been DAMAGE.
