Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: False statements or representation — Impersonated attorney, law enforcement, or government official
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint regarding a XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy that is being reported on my credit file. This information has been disputed with XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. Despite my disputes, the bureaus continue to verify the bankruptcy without providing the required Method of Verification under FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ). 

I requested the following : A description of the procedure used to verify the bankruptcy, The name, address, and phone number of the furnisher of the information, and All documentation obtained during their investigation. 

The bureaus failed to provide this information. Since bankruptcy courts do not furnish data directly to credit bureaus, this reporting is inaccurate and unverifiable at its source. Their refusal to provide verification violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act and has caused ongoing financial harm to me.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a chase credit card and despite otherwise being approved, I received a letter from chase claiming that they think someone else was trying to open it in my name and therefore denied the application. Clearly I triggered their fraud/risk detection system somehow, but it was me who legitimately submitted the application. I called the number in the letter and was told that this was because some of the information that I submitted in my application ( such as the address ) did not match the information in the credit report they pulled. However, they also said that the next step would be for me to re-submit my application. This does not make sense for various reasons : for one, this doesn't address the root issue they claimed, as if they pull the report again the same problem could happen seeing as none of the information on my report has changed. For two, I have already given them all my information, and having to submit it again is unnecessary. For three, this could count as another hard inquiry on my credit report which is not fair to me. I was told that someone would call me back/ leave me a voicemail for additional help but this has not happened.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I'm contacting you because I recently discovered a credit inquiry on my report that I had no knowledge of, did not authorize, and did not initiate. This inquiry is fraudulent, plain and simple, and it should have never been made under my name. 

I have never applied for credit or given any form of consent to the company that pulled this inquiry. I only found out about it while reviewing my credit report, and Im furious that someone was able to access my personal credit file without my permission. This is not just a mistake it is unauthorized access to my private financial information, and it is a clear violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the late payment information appearing on my TransUnion credit report for the following account : Account Name : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX Open Date : XX/XX/year> Balance : {$1500.00} According to my records, this account has always been paid on time, and I have never been 30 days late. However, my TransUnion credit file shows a XXXX late payment that is incorrect and damaging to my credit profile. 
The payment history displayed by TransUnion contradicts the actual account history maintained by XXXX  XXXX XXXX and other credit bureaus. Both XXXX  and XXXX  show this account as paid or paying as agreed with no late payment for the same period. This inconsistency clearly indicates an error in your reporting.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint against the credit reporting agencies for knowingly reporting false, inaccurate, and unverified information on my consumer credit report. I have exercised my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 602 ( A ) which states that consumer reporting agencies must assure maximum possible accuracy of information. The following accounts and inquiries are incorrect, incomplete, or not verifiable, and I am demanding immediate reinvestigation and deletion. These items are causing me severe financial harm, loss of credit opportunities, denial of loans, higher interest rates, and emotional distress. I never authorized nor consented to these items being reported in such a false and damaging way. I am attaching my full list of disputes below and I request the CFPB to hold the credit bureaus accountable for failing their duty to maintain accurate records. 
ACCOUNTS XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance Owed : {$1200.00} Chargeoff Law/Issue : FCRA 611 ( a ) unverifiable derogatory information must be deleted Story : This charge-off is reported in error and the information on file is inconsistent. I never received proper documentation proving the validity of the balance. Without proof, this is damaging and unfair. Reporting unverifiable charge-offs is a direct violation of consumer protection laws and should be corrected by deletion. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance Owed : {$850.00} Chargeoff Law/Issue : FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) unverifiable charge-offs must be deleted Story : This charge-off is incorrect and damaging. The balance reporting is inconsistent, and the furnisher has failed to validate. A charge-off of this nature on my file without proof is unlawful and must be corrected immediately by removal. 

I request that the CFPB take immediate action against the credit reporting agencies for failing to maintain maximum possible accuracy, failing to properly reinvestigate, and for allowing unauthorized inquiries on my report. These errors are causing me ongoing financial and emotional harm. I demand that the CFPB direct the agencies to delete these inaccurate accounts and inquiries permanently and hold them accountable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
