State: SC

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate credit reporting related to a timeshare account I had with XXXX. 

I successfully completed a deed in lieu of foreclosure agreement with XXXX, which was intended to resolve the matter fully and close out my obligations. Despite this, my credit report is still showing the account as delinquent. This is incorrect, and it is severely damaging my credit profile. 

I have worked hard to resolve this matter in good faith, and it is extremely unfair that my credit is being impacted by an account that should have been marked as closed or settled in accordance with the deed in lieu agreement. Because of this error, I am now unable to secure a loan for my home, which is creating significant hardship.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Removal of Outdated Account from Credit Report Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding an account that remains on my credit reports beyond the legally allowed reporting period. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as collection accounts must be removed from credit reports after seven years. The account in question is over seven years old and should no longer be reported. 

Despite this, the account is still being reported by the credit bureaus, which is negatively impacting my credit profile. I have previously contacted the credit reporting agencies to dispute the item, but it has not been removed. 

I respectfully request that this outdated account be removed from my credit reports in accordance with the FCRA. I would appreciate the CFPBs assistance in resolving this matter. 


Thank you for your attention to this issue.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Equifaxs repeated failure to address my disputes with care and thoroughness is now more than just negligenceit has become a pattern, one that echoes the same serious concerns the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has already investigated. I will not allow my credit file to remain stained by errors that Equifax has failed to verify or remove, especially when that failure comes at a direct cost to my well-being and future. You have an obligation to treat consumer disputes seriously, and yet it feels as though my concerns have been dismissed entirely. 

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i, Equifax is legally required to reinvestigate all disputed items within 30 days, and to delete any information that can not be fully and independently verified. That means verifiable proofnot assumptions, not recycled data from unreliable sources. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ), any information found to be incomplete, inaccurate, or unverifiable must be corrected or removed entirely. I am demanding immediate corrective action, not another automated response. If you fail to do your job now, I will escalate this matter through every available channel. You are not just mishandling datayou are mishandling lives.

" I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Having previously discussed this with you, I'm writing to request that these accounts be promptly deleted from my report in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit bureaus rectify erroneous information on consumer credit reports. These accounts have caused me stress because they are on my report. It's been difficult to deal with the impact because they don't represent my financial responsibility or credit history. I'm ready to take legal action to protect my rights and find a solution under the FCRA if we can't work this out. The inaccurate items that appear on my credit report have been a big obstacle for me. They're getting in the way of my important financial goals, like buying a house and taking care of my family. I hope we can resolve this issue quickly.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Transaction was not authorized
Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: PR

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, PenFed withdrew funds from my checking account without my authorization, citing a debt I owe to them. I had not given permission for this transaction, and the funds taken were specifically set aside to pay my bankruptcy attorney in order to file a case the following day. 

I immediately informed PenFed that this withdrawal was interfering with my ability to file for bankruptcy. They cited a Non-Disclosure Agreement and said a supervisor would be contacted, but I have received no resolution. 

I understand this may be considered an internal offset, but I was not warned, and the withdrawal directly affected my ability to exercise my legal rights under bankruptcy law. While I have not filed yet, this action creates a serious barrier to doing so and feels coercive. 

I am requesting the CFPBs assistance in reviewing this issue and helping recover the funds so I can proceed with the bankruptcy process.
