Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because I submitted an FTC Identity Theft Report and sent written dispute letters to all three major credit bureaus : Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. These letters included the FTC report, my identification, and a request to investigate and remove fraudulent or inaccurate items from my credit reports. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the credit bureaus are required to conduct an investigation and respond within 30 days of receiving a dispute. However, it has now been over 30 days since they received my dispute letters, and I have not received any response, confirmation, or resolution from any of the credit bureaus. 

This lack of response violates my rights under the FCRA and has caused continued harm to my credit profile, as the inaccurate and/or fraudulent information remains on my reports. 

I am asking the CFPB to investigate this matter and ensure that the credit bureaus comply with the law by : Responding to my dispute, Completing a proper investigation, And removing all inaccurate or fraudulent items identified in my FTC Identity Theft Report

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Follow-up to Complaint ID XXXX - Demand for Verification on Experian Report I am writing in follow-up to a previous complaint, ID XXXX, regarding my XXXX XXXX account number XXXX, as it is reported by Experian.

My initial dispute with Experian resulted in a company response stating that the account was " verified. '' However, this investigation was not reasonable as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). While a partial correction was made to the payment history ( which proves the original reporting was inaccurate ), the account still remains on my report.

I believe the account contains material inaccuracies and has not been properly verified. As proven by the attached check image and bank transaction details, I paid {$4500.00} to settle this debt. Experian 's report still inaccurately claims that " {$6300.00} was written off. '' This is a false statement. 

Therefore, I am formally demanding a method of verification for this account. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Experian is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation. I am requesting that Experian provide the documentation used to verify this account with the creditor.

If Experian fails to provide a valid verification, the account must be deleted from my credit report as it can not be accurately verified.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I was contacted on XXXX by someone claiming to be affiliated with a popular XXXX business page. They posed as a seller of luxury items and sent me videos and messages claiming to sell designer goods. We communicated over several days. I agreed to purchase an item and was instructed to send {$120.00} via Zelle to XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). The payment was sent on XX/XX/year>. 

After payment, the scammer continued engaging, requesting an additional shipping fee of {$60.00}. The story kept changing they gave me multiple Zelle contacts with different names ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, etc. ). I became suspicious and requested proof or a refund. They never shipped anything and eventually stopped responding. 

I immediately contacted XXXX  XXXX XXXX to report the transaction as fraud and provided screenshots and transaction proof. However, my dispute was denied, with the explanation that Zelle payments are final and irreversible. I believe this denial contradicts Regulation E protections. 

Regulation E states that an unauthorized electronic fund transfer includes one made under fraud or false pretenses. I was intentionally misled and tricked into sending this money. I only authorized the transaction based on deception. That makes it an unauthorized transaction under federal law. 

I am requesting the CFPB to assist in holding XXXX  XXXX XXXX accountable for : Reinvestigating this as a case of fraud Issuing a full refund of {$120.00} Explaining why Regulation E was not applied to my claim

I've been in an ongoing dispute with Wells Fargo N.A. I've submitted several lawful payment instruments, letters, affidavits, and request for confirmation from Wells Fargo and no reply has been received to date, in total violation of the Fair credit reporting act. My account was closed and derogatory information submitted to the credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ), even after I submitted a cease and desist, and status correction request to Wells Fargo N.A. I am now injured as a result of the derogatory information submitted, and it is causing an issue with my employer, current banks and account I currently have. Wells Fargo refuses to respond to any of my correspondence, so I am requesting that the Bureau investigate the issue so that I can be made whole. I just completed a second dispute with XXXX, and I will follow up with filing dispute with the other credit reporting agencies. I will compile all by correspondence and mail confirmation that Wells Fargo received all my information sent to them, if needed. Thank you for your attention and assistance.
