Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

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 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

Complaint narrative:
I am in the midst of a dispute between myself and my former landlord, XXXX XXXX XXXX. I left my former residence at XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, CA in XX/XX/year>. I executed all of my duties as a tenant to leave the residence in as good of a condition as I found it, and to inform the landlord of all necessary items. Upon my departure, XXXX XXXX XXXX refused to return my {$600.00} security deposit back to me. Additionally, XXXX claimed that I left the residence in a condition unsuitable for future tenants that required extensive maintenance and repair. On top of the confiscating of my security deposit, XXXX laid on additional fees, without my consultation or consent, that they demanded to be paid. I attempted to contact XXXX to resolve the matter at multiple points, to which they never responded. Left with no other recourse in the face of paying unjust fees and walking away from my security deposit, I sought legal advice on the matter. I am now suing XXXX XXXX XXXX for the events I just described. In response, XXXX logged an adverse hit to my credit report. Per the express rules of litigation and numerous federal and CA state laws, actions of this nature are prohibited. I disputed the credit report that XXXX filed with TransUnion, the credit reporting agency. TransUnion 's investigation sought to only verify the existence of the report, not the legitimacy of the report existing on my total report. TransUnion 's only recourse left to me was to report to CFPB. In this request, I would like CFPB to consult with TransUnion about the fact that this hit to my credit was not removed per my request. Additionally, I would like CFPB to investigate the practices of XXXX XXXX XXXX, as they appear to be acting in an illicit manner towards their tenants. Thank you very much for any and all assistance rendered in these unfortunate circumstances, and I wish you a very happy holiday season. All the best, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Fair and accurate credit reporting is essential to the financial system, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The effectiveness of the banking system is directly hampered by inaccurate credit reports, and unjust credit reporting practices erode public trust, which is necessary for the banking system to continue operating. 

Therefore, the effectiveness of the banking system is hampered anytime there is a breach of the FCRA. Since I was never late, this is against TILA US Code 1666B. 

I discovered an inaccurate late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ] when I just looked over my consumer report. I have consistently made my account payments on schedule. According to the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) and the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ),
