Complaint narrative:
This is a formally disputing of several fraudulent items on my credit report that are the result of identity theft. Upon obtaining a recent copy of my credit report, I discovered unauthorized fraudulent accounts, personal information and credit inquiries that do not belong to me. 

Enclosed with this letter are the documents supporting my claim, including a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) identity theft report. Please note that the FTC identity theft report is legit and accurately reflects the identity theft incident. I request that you do not question its authenticity and use it as grounds to delay investigating and removing these fraudulent items from my credit report. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 605B 1681C-2 and 611 1681E, you are legally required to BLOCK AND REMOVE the fraudulent information from my credit report within XXXX business days. 

These sections mandate your obligations as a credit reporting agency to protect consumers in cases of identity theft and to promptly investigate and eliminate unauthorized fraudulent information.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY. 

The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system. 

I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a charged-off account that is over XXXX XXXX XXXX from the date of first delinquency. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information like charge-offs can not be reported beyond XXXX years. Despite this, Equifax has refused to remove the account. 

I submitted a formal dispute to Equifax on XX/XX/year>. They responded by saying the original creditor verified the information as accurate. However, the issue is not whether the balance is accurate its that the account is outdated and legally must be removed. 

I also paid off the remaining balance through a third-party collection agency years ago. This same account was successfully removed from my XXXX report after dispute. 

I am requesting that Equifax be required to remove this outdated account from my credit report in accordance with the FCRA.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I opened a business account at TD Bank in New Jersey for XXXX XXXX, which was formed in XX/XX/year> and is automatically in good standing until its first annual report is due. I provided all legally sufficient formation documents, including my XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX confirmation. Despite this, TD Bank is requiring me to purchase a {$52.00} XXXX of XXXX XXXX from the state even though it contains no new information and the bank could verify my status for free through the states public business registry. 

The branch manager confirmed that this is a mandatory back-office requirement and that their hands are tied. This policy appears to be part of a blanket compliance approach, possibly in reaction to past enforcement actions against TD Bank, but it is being applied in situations where it serves no legitimate purpose such as brand-new LLCs that are automatically in good standing. 

Impact to me : As a brand-new small business owner, this extra {$52.00} fee is an unnecessary and avoidable expense when startup costs are already high. 
It delayed my ability to fully use my business bank account and accept payments, creating obstacles in launching my business. 
It sets a precedent that the bank can require costly, redundant paperwork even when legally sufficient documents are already provided making it harder for small businesses to access essential banking services. 
Loyal customers should not be penalized for the banks internal compliance failures or past fines.

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.
