Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the failure of the credit reporting agencies ( Equifax and XXXX ) and the debt collector [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] to verify disputed information on my credit report, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 



On XX/XX/2023, over XXXX0 days ago, I filed a dispute regarding : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX on my credit report. As per FCRA 1681i ( a ), the credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and respond within 30 days. Additionally, under FDCPA 809 ( b ), the debt collector is also required to provide verification of the debt upon request. It has now been 77 days, and neither the credit reporting agencies nor the debt collector have provided any verification or response regarding the disputed item. 

The presence of this unverified information on my credit report and the failure of the debt collector to verify the debt have adversely affected me i invested XXXX on a business and currently trying to get it funded and because of there action I'm missing on a XXXX funding process because i keep getting denied. 

According to FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), if the credit reporting agencies are unable to verify the disputed information within the required timeframe, they are obligated to delete the item from my credit report. Furthermore, under FDCPA 809 ( b ), if the debt collector can not verify the debt, they should cease collection efforts. Given that it has been 77 days without verification from either party, I am requesting the CFPBs assistance in ensuring that the unverified information is removed from my credit report and that the debt collector ceases collection activities as mandated by federal law.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Navy Federal Credit Union is reporting derogatory information onto my consumer report that needs to be removed. I didn't give consent to Navy Federal Credit Union to share my information with a non affiliate third party entity. The Gramm Leech Bliley Act 15 USC 6801 says that a financial institution must protect against unauthorized access or use of such nonpublic personal information which could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any consumer. 15 USC 6802 also state that except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, a financial institution may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose to a nonaffiliated third party any nonpublic personal information, unless such financial institution provides or has provided to the consumer a notice that complies with section 6803 of this title. Per 15 USC 6803 ; Navy Federal Credit Union did not clearly and conspicuously give me the option to opt-out of credit reporting as it states in the Gramm Leech Bliley Act. I am asking Navy Federal Credit Union to Cease and Desist all communications through any and all mediums unless it is for a specified remedy that I am invoking. The term " Communications '' through any and all mediums would be telephone, email, social media and any consumer report listed but not limited to : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, etc... This notice is pursuant to 15 USC 1692 ( c ). The term Communication pursuant to 15 USC 1692a ( 2 ) means the conveying of information regarding a debt directly or indirectly to any person through any medium. The alleged debt is reporting onto my consumer report which is a form of communication and I need this account removed. This is also a direct violation of 15 USC 1692d ( 1 ) as my consumer report is my reputation and because this derogatory account is being reported and causing harm to my reputation I am entitled to compensation under 15 USC 1692 ( k ) of monetary relief of {$1000.00} for each violation listed.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I was called by the bank issuer ( CITI BANK ) of best buys store credit card stating that I owed a balance of {$600.00} for a XXXX XXXX XXXX purchased in XX/XX/2023. However, I never bought said item and I asked the representative for a receipt confirming my signature to show that I authorized that transaction, however they did not give me a duplicate receipt until months later in the mail showing only the transaction and the store location but not my signature. I personally shop at the Best Buy located on XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX for my Best Buy products so I have no need to travel to the Best Buy location in XXXX, XXXX. I have been a loyal Best Buy credit card member for 20+ years and have paid my debts for much larger valued items than what is shown here. I did not authorize the transaction and they cant even show my own signature authorizing the purchase with 12 month financing which I had to do for previous Best Buy orders that I financed instore. I find it ludicrous that the card issuer ( CITI BANK ) can conclude their investigation and state I am held responsible for a charge I did not make when I have a history of paying my debts with Best Buy for over 20 years.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Around XXXXXXXX XXXX, I spoke with a representative who agreed to process a waiver for a {$30.00} late fee. I also asked for a replacement card to be sent because I never received the initial card. 

On XX/XX/, I received a text notification indicating a balance of {$62.00}. I called customer service and was told the representative did not process the waiver, resulting in another {$30.00} late fee and an additional {$2.00} interest fee. 

A supervisor waived one of the late fees, but the company refuses to waive the other late fee, despite the generation of the second late fee being due to a failure on behalf of their employee.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
Capital One credit card will not delete a closed account from my credit report on all bureaus even after it is 7 years and two months in age, and they did not uphold their XXXX insurance agreement after I became permanently XXXX. I had been cleared by their collection agency case manager in XX/XX/2019, and told I no longer was being pursued legally, nor was I responsible for this debt of XXXX due to me being totally and permanently XXXX from injuries sustained in XXXX XXXX, and the XXXX insurance. My report even shows the account was closed XX/XX/2019, however, it shows a last payment date of XX/XX/2019. So those dates are very wrong as well. I have been disputing this for years now to get this negative account deleted to no avail. This is severely impacting my credit negatively, and is unfair. Can someone please investigate this matter as I would like to avoid unnecessary future legal fees.
