Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion. 

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors.

In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. 

I am also placing a FTC reference number- XXXX XXXXXXXX so that you can verify the inaccuracy of fraud that is placed on my credit report. 

Now based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation. 

Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) against Experian due to their inadequate response to my dispute. On XX/XX/year>, I sent a dispute letter to Experian via XXXX certified mail tracking # XXXX, seeking an investigation into inaccurate items on my credit report. The disputed items include XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Additionally, I contested an incorrect name on my credit report. 

To facilitate a thorough investigation, I provided Experian with a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill with my current address for identity verification. 

However, Experian 's response, dated XXXX, stated : We received a recent request regarding your credit information that does not appear to have been sent directly by you or to be authorized by you. As a precautionary measure, we have not taken any action on your alleged request. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) stipulates that if the completeness or accuracy of any item in a consumer 's file is disputed, the credit bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation. Experian 's failure to conduct such an investigation violates my consumer rights under the FCRA.

Consumer complaint received 2024-02-01 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I was shocked to see my Capital One 360 Savings account was earning only 0.30 % APY when market rates are much higher. I looked at the Capital One website and saw that their savings account product was earning 4.35 %, so I believed that there was an error on my account that failed to adjust the rate. My interest rate had remainedthe same since around XXXX of XXXX. 

XX/XX/XXXX I called Capital One and spoke with XXXX. XXXX informed me that my account was earning what a Capital One 360 Savings account should, and that the 4.35 % APY was for the Capital One 360 PERFORMANCE Savings account. She advised how I could open such an account and move the funds. I asked to be escalated to her supervisor regarding the large discrepancy for quite some time. 

XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  I spoke with XXXX ( supervisor ). XXXX reviewed communications to me and confirmed Capital One did not communicate to me ( via mail or email ) that my interest rate would be stuck at 0.30 % and that the product was being replaced ( seemingly no longer supporting XXXX increases ). He also confirmed that my APY is variable, and that reasonable consumers expect variable APYs to increase due to the Fed 's interest rate changes and market interest rates. He noted the bank 's website had a feature to compare my current product 's interest rate to new product 's, but that this feature was not available in-app or communicated to me proactively. He also noted interest rates are available in account details when logged in, and on statements ( not currently mailed but available when logged in ). However, he agreed that a reasonable consumer would expect their interest rate to adjust due to the Fed and market rates. XXXX also agreed that 0.30 % is not in line with any savings accounts offered by Capital One or its competitors at this time. 

In short, Capital One created a new savings account with an extremely similar name that has reasonable rates and failed to notify existing savings account customers that this was a different product and that they should no longer expect reasonable rates. Capital One did not offer the ability to roll into the new product or in any way communicate that the customer would stop receiving APY increases if they remain with the 360 Savings account. 

Capital One experienced significant bank gain at the expense of customers for under-providing interest for years by a significant percentage. The bank was also highly deceptive ( violating XXXX ) in its similarly-named product with vastly different interest rates, and caused additional customer harm by acting against reasonable consumer belief by failing to raise interest rates on the older product.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.
