On XX/XX/XXXX I woke up to XXXX unauthorized charges from my checking account that amounted to {$2300.00}. XXXX of the charges fell off as the merchant did not end up taking it as I closed my card down very quickly. There are now XXXX unauthorized charges that individually are {$400.00}, {$890.00} and {$740.00}. The XXXX larger charges are for XXXX flights and the smaller XXXX is for XXXX XXXX  XXXX. 

Ive submitted now XXXX fraud claims with Citibank and each one has been denied as they claim since it was my debit card used I was the one who authorized the charges. 

I went ahead and called the merchants and confirmed with them that my name is not on any of these purchases nor do I have open accounts with either of them. 

Citibank has this information and still wont give me my money back and has now made me wait a month for my money. 

I also on XX/XX/XXXX went to a branch to get help in person and they turned me away.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Experian and TRANSUNION has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and transunion has neither corrected nor removeddisputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Ability Recovery Services, LLC

1. Violation of HIPAA ( 42 U.S.C. 1320d-6 ) & Unauthorized Disclosure of Medical Information Under HIPAA regulations , medical providers and collection agencies can not share, disclose, or report my protected health information ( PHI ) without my written consent.

Ability Recovery Services has not obtained my consent to disclose this alleged medical debt to third-party credit bureaus.

This constitutes an unauthorized disclosure, violating HIPAA privacy rules and federal law.

2. Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1692 et seq. ) 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 8 ) Prohibits false, misleading, or unauthorized credit reporting.

15 U.S.C. 1692f ( 1 ) Prohibits attempts to collect an invalid or unauthorized debt.

15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) Prohibits reporting of certain information beyond the legal timeframe.

15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Requires credit bureaus to maintain maximum possible accuracy.

Since I never authorized the reporting of my medical debt, this account must be immediately removed from all credit reports under FCRA compliance.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.
