I disputed with my bank ( XXXX, dispute ID XXXX ). The bank denied my claim and stated the transactions were authorized, but they provided no supporting evidence. 

I also filed a dispute with Cash App ( case # XXXX ). I requested the records relied on to deny my claim, including device XXXX XXXX XXXX geolocation data, and authorization records. Cash App confirmed receipt of my request but has not provided the documentation. 

Under Regulation E, I should have received provisional credit within 10 business days and the evidence relied on to deny my claim. Neither my bank nor Cash App has complied.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my report. I received a response from Experiaan stating that they verified an alleged Bankruptcy from the data furnisher. I have been in contact with the Bankruptcy court of XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and they responded to me several times stating that the DO NOT verify any information nor report any information to any credit bureaus or 3rd party creditors such as XXXX XXXX. I have file this same dispute for the last year asking Experian for the evidence that was sent from the alleged data furnisher. XXXX  was saying they received the information from XXXX to which XXXX is not the original nor a verifiable source. However, I have reached out to both XXXX  and original source which is United States Bankruptcy Courts whom both have said they do not verify anything with XXXX XXXX or any other 3rd part credit reporting agencies. I have this in actual writing!! Inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information must be corrected or removed from the credit report. XXXX  and XXXX  have both deleted this unverifiable information from my reports! I have sent numerous request to have this unverifiable information removed from Experian and they are breaking my right as a consumer to have complaints and disputes throughly investigated and only to report accurate and verifiable information. I wish to have this information removed immediately within the next 30 days!

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Provided financing for my Furnace Replacement which costed {$13000.00} ( {$12000.00} ) Offered 0 % Interest if Paid in full within 18 months ( RATE of 26.99 % ) So Here is the Scam : 1 ) They get you setup on PaperLess Statements cause it is cheaper for them ( and of course key to the scam so you might miss an email ) 2 ) You then setup automated Bill Pay because that's the norm now 3 ) They send a statement to you monthly ( whoops it may have gone to spam ) 4 ) You pay your monthly " minimum payment '' 5 ) At near the 18 month mark ( you most likely forgot about the 26.99 % and it's from start of loan ) - they only put a " promotion expiring shortly '' on your statement. No other notices, nothing in the mail - just pretty much silence so as not to alarm you of the upcoming " CASH IN '' date 6 ) Then after paying {$5000.00} of the balance you now owe more than when you started and interest is accruing on the new entire balance as of the start of the loan at 26.99 % 7 ) Almost no way to pay off something that is now compounding like that and you have no way out. But they have lawyers...

8 ) This practice has got to stop - how can interest like this even be sanctioned by the government? It is entirely a scam to defraud, lull users, and then bam!

* Sneaky part of the deal is " Exclusive promotional financing '' with " Simple, hassle-free application process with fast credit decisions '

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Comenity Bank for failing to properly update the trade line on my credit file after selling my debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Because of this failure, I have already been subjected to improper debt collection by XXXX XXXX. I never had a prior creditor-consumer relationship with XXXX XXXX, and Comenitys inaction directly caused this situation. 

This issue began after I enrolled with National Debt Relief to manage my accounts. Comenity Bank sent me a notice suggesting I file for bankruptcy, which I refused. Since then, they have failed to update the account transfer to XXXX XXXX, resulting in inaccurate reporting and improper collection. 

Comenitys failure to update the trade line violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as it allows inaccurate information to be reported and harms my consumer rights. Their actions are negligent and have caused ongoing financial and legal consequences. I am currently involved in an active case to clear my name due to these improper practices. I request that the CFPB investigate Comenity Bank, hold them accountable, and ensure my records are corrected.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am respectfully requesting a review of the late payment currently being reported on my credit file as open or unresolved, as I believe this information to be inaccurate and misleading. This reporting is factually inaccurate and materially misleading. The payment in question has either been fully resolved, or I was never late as alleged. The continued reporting of this item as delinquent constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which mandates consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information furnished. The presence of this inaccurate entry has directly harmed my credit standing, resulting in adverse effects on my credit score and potentially impeding future opportunities related to credit, housing, and employment. Accordingly, I demand a full investigation of this matter, and if the late payment can not be conclusively verified as accurate and timely, it must be immediately corrected or permanently deleted from my credit report.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
