This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I noticed XXXX fraudulent charges in my chase.com account. I immediately called chase and reported the crime. I explained the charges were from belk.com which I had never heard of. The representative cancelled the card that had been stolen and a credit of {$230.00} was added to my account. I also reported the case of identity theft to XXXX. However, the following day, XX/XX/XXXX, the chase refund was reversed and the fraudulent charges remained. I again contacted chase and was told that chase must allow the amounts to essentially be stolen from my account before they would stop the charges. Which made no sense. In the meantime, despite immediately reporting the fraud, my husband and I would not have access to our money. My husband and I have both spoken with chase and the matter has been escalated but we can not get our funds back. That is preventing us from money we could be using for the things we need or would like to purchase. Chase could not explain why they would allow the money to be stolen opposed to simply stopping the fraudulent charges.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2024 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX : Complaint Against Experian for Incorrect Information on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Experian regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. I have encountered a persistent issue where my credit report includes a name that does not match my legal name as listed on my driver 's license or utility bill. 

Despite my efforts to resolve this matter directly with Experian, the issue remains unaddressed. I have provided them with the necessary documentation to prove my identity and correct the inaccuracies, yet they continue to report this erroneous name that I don't use when identifying myself. 

I am deeply concerned about the impact this situation is having on my financial standing and creditworthiness. If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action. 

I request your assistance in addressing this matter with Experian to ensure my credit report is corrected. Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue. 

Sincerely,

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Complaint narrative:
I got this loan because I couldn't get utility assistance and my water was off. This is why I didn't investigate this loan better. I was told what the 1st four payments would be and the pay off amount. I assumed that since my loan was for {$770.00} and the pay-off amount was under {$900.00} that the payments of around {$97.00} a week would decrease. I found out that the pay-off only applied if I could pay it in a week. I added up the payments and realized I would be paying 300 % interest on this loan. When I called I was told their loans tend to have ever 600 % interest. At what point is this illegal?

Complaint narrative:
Although I didnt request a loan for this semester, my school put XXXX on my account XX/XX/year>. I immediately refunded the money and advised that I wanted to cancel it XX/XX/year>. They responded and confirmed that it was cancelled XX/XX/year>. I confirmed by checking my student account. A few days later I received notification that it was on my credit report. I called XXXX and asked for them to remove from my report. They said due to processing it could take several months after I send a written letter by mail. I asked if they had a fax or electronic method. They said no. So it took a few days to put it on my report and " due to processing '' it takes months to remove it. Its unacceptable and a deliberate burden. I reported it to the credit agency XX/XX/year>. They investigated and somehow received confirmation from XXXX that this is an active account. SO the credit agency wont remove it.

Complaint narrative:
BMO Harris flagged a check for fraud that we deposited. They froze our account. They did not notify us in any way. They locked our on line access told us it would take 14-30 days to clear. And told there was nothing they could do. So getting no answers we went into the branch office. The branch office couldnt get any cooperation from the fraud department. The owner of the check was devastated at the situation. The fraud department said it was a signature verification issue. So we even had the owner of the check available to come to bank office and verify. Not good enough. They made us prove the check had cleared his bank. So the owner had to prove It cleared his account. They made him go to his bank and get a copy of the cancelled check. 
So we did that. 
This turned into a 2.5 hour waste of a morning for 5 people so do the math All funds were transferred and received but our account is still on frozen The fraud department needs major improvement
