Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information reported on my credit report concerning a charge-off. Below are the details of the account in question : Creditor Name : [ XXXX XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Date of Charge-Off : [ XX/XX/year> ] It has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off. Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score. Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper. XXXX an immediate investigation into this matter and the correction of my credit report by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax, Experian & TransUnion for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report.

Despite my submissions, Equifax, Experian & TransUnion consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. 
This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax, Experian & TransUnions actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. XXXX ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax, Experian & TransUnion complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Complaint narrative:
On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, around XXXX XXXX  XXXX, I was approached by two individuals, a man and a woman, who claimed to be collecting donations for California fire victims. I sympathized with the cause, as I have friends who were affected by the disaster, so I made a donation of {$15.00}, followed by an additional {$150.00}. As I was walking away, another person asked if I had given money to them. I confirmed that I had donated {$160.00} in total. This person then told me that they were scammers and had tricked him and others with the same story. I confronted the individuals and demanded my money back. The man became aggressive, and when I threatened to call the police, they fled the scene. I contacted Cash App immediately to report the situation, and they assured me they would investigate. However, Ive since been informed that they will not refund my money.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> a charge in the amount of {$140.00} was applied to my Apple Card. After that charge went through, they tried charging another purchase at same vendor for a different amount, but charge was denied. Ironically, after that, they tried charging several more charges to different vendors, all within a few days of each other, and with vendors, I have never heard of. The transaction sequence and method is similar to what credit card thieves do once obtaining your information. 

As soon as I discovered what transpired, I immediately contacted Apple and submitted a dispute. 

As a long time customer, who has never been late on a payment, one who pays more that the minimum payment and has paid this card off a few times, I never thought in a million years I would be bullied into being told this is my charge. Mind you, I live in Texas and this charge took place in New Jersey. Second, I am almost XXXX XXXX XXXX. This charge was for an amusement park. I have no use for an amusement park. 

I requested proof from Apple as to how they can say purchase is mine but what I received was a very blurry copy and no explanation of what I am looking at in these documents. Personally, I see nothing that shows that I made this purchase so I am confused how they can say these charges are mine. 

As I explained to them, I am more than happy to file a police report for fraud and identity theft. However, I need more to go on so I can explain properly the details when I file this police report. I have been treated extremely rude, the company that I have been a customer with for several years has accused me of lying and making false claims. This is all so hard to stomach. 

However, if I were to make a false claim, trust me, it would be for more than {$140.00}. Last, how do they explain the other charges and pattern? 

I truly believe that Apple is doing this to me because they leaked my personal information and allowed this charge to go through. I think they dropped the ball and now are trying to bully me into paying this charge. Nothing else makes sense because you dont treat an excellent customer like myself like this. 

As XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This has never been an issue. All companies handled disputes professionally and removed the charge permanently from statement. 

Why is Apple treating me this way? 

I now need to question the other charges on my personal statement more carefully and examine if they are accurate. 

Any assistance you can provide would greatly be appreciated. 

XXXX XXXX
