Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
My last request for an investigation was denied by the company because somehow it seemed as though I did not write and submit my complaint.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Subject : Complaint Against Credit Bureau for Failure to Reinvestigate and Remove Inaccurate Information To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against [ EQUIFAX ] for their failure to properly reinvestigate and remove a late payment entry from my credit report. This entry pertains to my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In accordance with 15 USC 1666 ( b ) and 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ), I disputed the accuracy of this late payment with the credit bureau, as I believe it to be incorrect. Despite my initial dispute and providing supporting documentation, the credit bureau has failed to conduct a proper reinvestigation as required by law. The erroneous late payment entry continues to appear on my credit report, negatively affecting my credit score and financial standing. 
The relevant details of my dispute are as follows : - Account Holder : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Creditor : XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX - Dispute Reference Number : Complaint Number XXXX, XXXX. 
- Date of Original Dispute : XX/XX/year> I have attached copies of all correspondence related to my dispute, including my initial dispute letter, supporting documentation, and the responses received from the credit bureau. 
This failure to reinvestigate and correct the inaccurate information is a clear violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ). I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take immediate action to investigate this matter and ensure that the credit bureau complies with its legal obligations. 
Please acknowledge receipt of this complaint and inform me of any further actions or information required from my side.

Complaint narrative:
I contacted US BANK FOCUS DEBIT CARD customer service in XX/XX/year>. I have been unable to access my account online. On several occasions I tried logging in with my username and password. Ticket # XXXX XXXX XXXX was created in XX/XX/year>. I was told to try in 30 minutes. It's been over 30 days. I called again today XX/XX/year>. I spoke to two supervisors 3 hours apart where I was told again to try in 30 minutes. I called them back 3 hours later because I was not able to login and I would get the same message to call the the number on the back of my card. Another ticket # XXXX XXXX XXXX for today. The last supervisor I spoke with was XXXX, supervisor for prepaid cardholder services. She said to call in 5 days. I stated to her that it has been over 30 days from the last ticket. I asked her for the IT department, she stated there is no one else I can speak to about this. She has no SOLUTION for me! They are just creating tickets after ticket and no solution. I feel that this company 's card holders information has been breached and they won't tell me. They have no IT department I can talk to directly and supervisors have no ability to resolve an issue like this. This is a HUGE red flag. What is going on that they can't fix an online access issue in more than 30 days. I want reimbursement for all the time I have spent try to get them to SOLVE this PROBLEM. I don't get paid for my TIME! THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTALBLE!!!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! THE NUMBER ON THE BACK OF MY US BANK FOCUS DEBIT CARD IS XXXX.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
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.

Complaint narrative:
" I obtained a copy of my consumer report and notified these agencies multiple times, specifically on XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>, about the items I disputed. Despite these notifications, the matter remains unresolved in a manner that is fair and equitable to me, the consumer, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I sent my notice to these agencies, which included a FTC Identity Theft Report, A FTC Affidavit and I also filed a complaint with the CFPB. Along with this letter, I have also included an Affidavit of Truth to further substantiate my claim.

I explained the violations your agency committed under the FCRA, while informing your agency of the fact that these items were reported without my expressed, written consent. This leads to way of identity theft, which leads to a violation of the civil liability section of the FCRA, as I informed you in the previous notices, which I have attached once more again for your record!

This is a FINAL NOTICE to give your agency an opportunity to correct this situation or I will be forced to protect my credit rating and file a lawsuit against your agency. I have proven to your agency on many occasions that these items are a violation of the FCRA and should in fact be DELETED but your agency continues to violate me so I dont know what else to do besides suing your agency at this point.

I have suffered emotional distress as a result of this matter and I demand this matter be resolved in a fair and equitable manner, which still hasnt been done "

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX noted an amount from Capital One that they are demanding payment. I sent a letter requesting verification ( XXXX  ) and got back several Capital One statements in the mail. 

I see problems with these statements : 1. The {$40.00} fee is waived for a period that was not for the period noted 2. The APR interest rate changed three times and I did not receive a reason from the Capital One for changing ( raising ) the APR ( making it more difficult to pay back ). 
3. I feel Capital One purposely made the account more difficult to pay back with the additional fees when they proved they can waive them and the changes in the APR interest without proper paper mailed with notification required by the FDCA. 
4. I feel these amounts should be adjusted and the last months that Capital One was changing rates without USPS mailed notification should be removed from the debt collection process.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I apologize for burdening you with this letter! It is complicated, so I will give you my phone number. I have reached out to XXXX customer service and Care Credit numerous times with no resolution! In fact, I do not believe they understood the gravity of this complaint! 


I am truly not sure where to start. I hope I can clearly state my concerns, since this matter is incomprehensible to me.There were no disclosures from either company! 


I had a Care Credit account that was recently closed and APR increase to XXXX from XXXX, on the remaining balance. I had automatic payments drawn from my XXXX XXXX account ; at this time, it was {$30.00}. 
Here is my story : XXXX received two automatic payments for {$30.00} to my Care Credit account, in XXXX. the {$30.00} ACH draws were dishonored due to the stop payment in XXXX I made! I had stop payment due to fraudulent activity, new card issued! I did not remove the stop payment because I had received a new card, different number. I attempt to get a three way conversation to discuss, but XXXX hung up before Care Credit and I spoke. XXXX and Care Credit would not call each other on this matter. The flag of {$30.00} Care Credit was placed on my account closing it and increasing my APR XXXX. This is absurd, since I actually paid the {$30.00} but Care Credit would not honor it since XXXX declined for an entirely different reason not relating to insufficient funds! 


This is unconscionable conduct for a longtime client! I have been responsible with payments. I recently made over a {$2000.00} payment. I never received a warning until the day it was done this month on XXXX, although letter written on XX/XX/XXXX! ( see attached ) called immediately to both companies to correct and no assistance received! 
My remedy : Open my account up so we can finish our much needed dental work and change APR back to XXXX instead of XXXX! Care Credit is also called Synchrony bank. A {$1200.00} charge for 3 days trying to resolve this issue with calls. As XXXX I make $ XXXX. 


Regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX CC Care Credit, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, attorney XXXX  once established.

" After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late. This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance.
