Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On or around XX/XX/XXXX, sent a letter to Experian to dispute the accuracy of fraudulent accounts found on my credit report ; specifically, a loan account opened by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX without my knowledge or consent. I informed Experian that I did not open this account, now did I authorize anyone to use my personal information to open this account. I also filed an Identity Theft Report with the FTC. I provided a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report, a copy of my drivers license, proof of residence, and a copy of my credit report. I asked that Experian remove the fraudulent account and block any future reporting. 

Experian refused to block the fraudulent report after XXXX business days. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notification from Experian that they completed their investigation and found that the account was verified and accurate. However, this is not true because I have been in communication with XXXX XXXX who is working with me to investigate the fraudulent account ( see email from XXXX XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX ). If XXXX XXXX, the company which opened the fraudulent account, still has not completed their investigation, then Experian can not have possibly completed their investigation. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to call Experian again to discuss the dispute results and was not able to get a live agent on the phone and was not able to file a new fraud dispute. As of this date a fraudulent account opened by XXXX XXXX remains on my credit report and has caused my XXXX XXXX to be negatively impacted.

Company: Kikoff Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am challenging the accuracy on my credit report for Acct # XXXX with Kikoff Lending LLC again for the for the fifth or sixth time. I have uploaded a copy of my consumer report showing inaccurate late payments that are reporting XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX  days late with experian but XXXX reporting the payment was paid and ok and instead of all credit bureau 's stating the same thing they are reporting differently, and this is hurting my chance of getting approved for an apartment and a car and indefinitely hurting my creditworthiness. I also see XXXX different dates of my last payments from XXXX different credit bureau 's which makes no sense and I ask that you update and correct my credit report stating paid as agreed and remove all late payments being shown on my consumer report.

Company: FIRST PORTFOLIO SERVICING INC

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, an entity named XXXX  ( XXXX ) pulled a hard inquiry on my credit with XXXX. 

This was not my action and I contacted XXXX immediately. XXXX advised I reach out to XXXX with the number that was on my credit report, XXXX. This number advised to call their customer service line at XXXX. 

I spoke with a representative of XXXX ( XXXX ) about this identity theft and requested they contact XXXX to XXXX the hard inquiry. 

The XXXX contact said that they could not remove hard inquiries as they have no method to do that. I asked if they could contact XXXX and they said they did not know how and they could not help me. They refused to assist in removing the false hard inquiry from my credit report, despite this inquiry being identity theft.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX I contacted XXXX to set up a credit freeze. both times I was forced to use an automated system to request a freeze. Each time the system rejected my request because I could not identify companies that gave me loans XXXX years ago. I do not carry any loans except for my bank credit card so can't remember old home loan companies or applications for credit cards. Why are these questions used to screen me for a credit freeze? The other major credit reporting agencies only require XXXX to place a freeze. 
I can't get to a live person at Equifax. How do I clear this up and get a credit freeze? Any help is welcome!

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees i have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, i was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against Navy Federal for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account transactions.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a complaint against XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX due to their failure to address inaccuracies on my credit report, despite multiple disputes. The incorrect information continues to appear, and no corrective action has been taken. 

FCRA 623 ( a ) ( b ) : The disputed account was not properly marked as " disputed '' on my credit report.

FCRA 605 ( c ) : The date of last activity is incorrect and should reflect the actual date of payment.

FDCPA 809 ( b ) : The collection account has not been validated, even after I requested verification.

I request that the CFPB investigate these issues and take appropriate action to ensure the credit bureaus comply with the law by correcting the inaccuracies, marking the account as disputed, and providing proper validation of the debt.
