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

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
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. ''

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, a international wire transfer was sent to myself from XXXX XXXX XXXX  in XXXX through Citibank as an intermediate bank in the transaction. International wire transfers are to be processed by Citibank within 3-5 business days, however, as of XX/XX/2024, the fund have not been released by Citibank. Multiple traces and inquires through the sending bank and through the receiving bank did not provide any answers to explain why funds are being withheld by Citibank while indicating the transaction status as " Normal ''. Neither the sending or receiving banks were able to determine the reason for the money being withheld. I contacted Citibank customer service to provide an explanation for the delay but was denied an information. While the trace shows funds are with Citibank, it did not make any effort to verify or seek a reason to resolve any delay ( if there was a reason for it ). Citibank displayed poor banking services and questionable business practice to withhold these fund.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
So I have been disputing a collection account on my credit for years and today when they finally deleted it. they adjusted my score DOWNWARD? Why if a incorrect account on my report is deleted would my score drop not increase. ALl of the other bureas when the item was deleted the score increased XXXX approximate points. Why would removing an inaccuracy like a collections account make my score decrease. There have been no other changes to the account. I pay my bills on time and am working very hard to improve my score so that I can buy a home. I would like them to show me the method that they use to justify a decrease in my score instead of it rising back to the level it was on prior to the inaccuracy being put on my account?
