State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the XXXX major credit bureausXX/XX/XXXX, Equifax, andXX/XX/XXXXfor ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with Metro 2 Format and XXXX industry standards. 

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( a ). 

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute cXX/XX/XXXXes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court. 

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information Metro 2 and XX/XX/XXXX Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency may not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself. '' XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXXXX/XX/XXXX ) These harms are measurable, preventable, and attributable to willful negligence and disregard of consumer protection law. 

XX/XX/XXXX Account number XXXX Relief Requested : I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take appropriate supervisory or enforcement action and require XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax, and XX/XX/XXXX to : Immediately delete all negative items previously disputed that can not be verified with complete documentation Cease reporting unverifiable data and require original source validation for all disputes Re-review investigation procedures and prohibit reliance solely on e-OSCAR as a substitute for human reinvestigation Certify in writing that corrective actions have been taken and notify all furnishers and third-party users of the updated information

After a XXXX delay due to job loss, I was able to make the full payment of the debt. Through different means, I have requested that they inform the credit bureaus that the debt has been paid in full since XX/XX/year>, but they do not give me a solution. I have contacted them by phone and email, and they always have an evasion to solve my problem I often wanted a renegotiation, but they never gave me timely attention I need them to inform the credit bureaus that I made the full payment voluntarily, and not that the debt is in a recovery entity

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as " US BKPT XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX-VERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy Court that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Issue: Was approved for a loan, but didn't receive the money — 
Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I applied for an Affirm virtual card to use at XXXX for about {$60.00}. I was approved, but when I tried to use the virtual card at self-checkout, the transaction didnt go through. The total was paid directly from my own checking account instead. I never received any funds from Affirm or any deposit into my bank account. My card had already been removed from the Affirm app at that point because I paid out of my own pocket. 

Afterward, Affirm still created a loan for {$97.00} and is now showing a balance of {$32.00} due, even though I never received any money or credit from them. I also paid around {$30.00} as part of the approval process, which was never refunded. 

Affirm has stated that I am responsible for the loan, but I never received any funds or products through that Affirm virtual card. I have a XXXX receipt and bank statement showing the purchase was paid with my own debit card, not through Affirm. I should not owe anything, and this needs to be corrected immediately. 

Even though their system shows an upcoming payment due on XX/XX/XXXX, Affirm has already reported this account to the credit bureaus as delinquent. This is inaccurate and needs to be removed from my credit history right away.

State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the inaccurate information on my credit report acquired by Experian. This letter is for the purpose to invoke my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15USC 1681i, which obligates you to provide me with the procedures you used to verify the information on my credit report. If you can not verify the accuracy of the disputed items, they must be deleted from my credit report right away.

Additionally, under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( 15 USC 6802 ) I have an essential right to privacy regarding my financial information. Also. 15 USC 1681 ( 4 ) under the FCRA highlights the importance of maintaining the accuracy and privacy of consumer credit information.

No permissible purpose, as shown in 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ), has been established for Experian to maintain a credit report on my behalf.

Experian has neither my permission nor a valid permissible purpose to supply a credit report containing my personal information.

The absence of such permissible purpose makes the presence of this information a violation of my privacy rights.

Additionally, 18 USC 1028a addresses identity theft and its associated penalties, highlighting that identity theft is a serious crime.

The unauthorized acquisition and use of my personal information is a criminal act and violates principles of privacy and consumer protection.

Under 15 USC 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are required to block information that results from identity theft. The transactions in question were not conducted by me. If my information has been compromised due to identity theft, I am expecting Experian to take all necessary action to correct and block this information as ordered by law.

l from now on request a formal investigation into my dispute and the removal of any incorrect information from Experian 's records if it is determined that no permissible purpose exists for maintaining this information. I expect Experian to comply with the FCRA, 18 USC 1028a, and 15 USC 1681c-2 to fix any issues related to identity theft.

Please provide me with a written response to this dispute within 30 days, with detail on any action taken to correct the inaccuracies on my credit report, along with the results of your investigation, If my report is not corrected or removed in accordance with the law, I will take legal action

Company: Selene Holdings LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We are submitting this statement to express our ongoing issues with our mortgage loan accounts managed by Selene Finance LP. Our mortgage loan has been past due since XX/XX/XXXX, and we are requesting that Selene cease all pre-foreclosure and foreclosure actions related to our accounts. 

We were making automatic payments on our mortgage until Selene updated their website around XX/XX/XXXX. Following this update, errors occurred, leading Selene to assert that they had not received our payments. Consequently, we ended up making multiple payments without receiving proper credit. We even participated in a three-way call with our bank and a representative from Selene to confirm our payments, but the issues have remained unresolved. 

Despite providing proof of our timely payments, our requests for corrections have gone unanswered. Moreover, we have been locked out of our online account since XX/XX/XXXX, which has made it impossible for us to make payments.
