Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers. In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate credit reporting by TransUnion ( XXXX # XXXX ). I originally disputed the reporting of my XXXX credit card account ( # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX, because the account was already scheduled to be deleted from my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX. 

TransUnion completed a reinvestigation on XX/XX/XXXX, but changed the estimated removal date for the same account to XX/XX/XXXX, effectively re-aging the account in violation of FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX, TransUnion refused to reopen the dispute unless I provided new information. I have since submitted my original XX/XX/XXXX report, which clearly shows the XX/XX/XXXX removal date, as new and material evidence. Despite this, the inaccurate reporting remains. 

I am requesting that the CFPB ensure TransUnion deletes this re-aged tradeline and confirms compliance with FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) and 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). 

Attached are copies of the XX/XX/XXXX report, the XX/XX/XXXX reinvestigation results, and the XX/XX/XXXX correspondence.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

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 am filing this complaint because the furnishing parties and the credit bureau have continued reporting inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable information even after multiple disputes. I have suffered ongoing harm, denial of opportunities, and emotional distress. I am requesting the CFPB to conduct a full investigation and ensure compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and all applicable federal laws. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2023 Balance Owed : {$25000.00} I have no knowledge of this account, and no furnisher or bureau has provided any documentation showing that I opened, used, or authorized this account. Reporting an account I do not recognize violates FCRA 602 ( A ), 607 ( B ), and 611 ( A ) because nothing has been properly verified according to federal standards. Since the charge-off can not be tied to me with legally required evidence, it must be permanently deleted under FCRA 611 ( A ) ( 5 ). 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2023 Balance Owed : {$86.00} I do not recognize this collection account and have never received any documentation, billing, or validation that links me to this alleged debt. FCRA 602 ( A ) and 607 ( B ) require accuracy, and FCRA 611 ( A ) requires documented verification, which has never been supplied. Reporting a collection without proof is a clear violation of federal law, and due to lack of verification, this account must be deleted immediately. 

I request that the CFPB enforce strict compliance, order a full reinvestigation, require deletion or correction of all inaccurate items, and ensure all furnishers provide proper verification. I also request documentation proving each furnisher validated the disputed information. I want all inaccurate accounts permanently removed.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year>XXXX  I requested debt validation from portfolio recovery associates to ensure that when I paid I was paying the correct company and not a scam. They sent debt validation and proceeded to sue me through XXXX XXXX XXXX. They would no longer speak to me about the debt so I settled with XXXX XXXX and they then reported the account as settled to portfolio recovery associates. It was removed from my credit report. Fast forward to today XX/XX/year>, I receive notice of a new collection on my credit report and it is none other than the account from portfolio recovery that was previously settled. I log in to my account with portfolio recovery and I see they are attempting to actually collect the remaining balance though the account was settled in full back in XXXX. I call in, they are confused to the whole situation. They state that they see that it's settled but aren't sure why it's being reported or why they are attempting to continue to collect on the account. No solution, no answers just " I'm not sure why ''. Horrible business practices, no communication within the company. Violating our agreement to settle the account.

Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved.
