Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, This letter is to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. I am writing in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1666b. Section 1666b of the FCRA prohibits you, as a credit reporting agency, from including inaccurate or misleading information in consumer reports. 

I am disputing a XXXX transaction XXXX currently listed on my credit report as a late payment. I was never provided with the disclosures required by 15 U.S.C. 1637b. This section mandates that creditors furnish a clear and conspicuous disclosure statement before marking any account as late. Without receiving this disclosure, the legitimacy of the transaction can not be confirmed. 

I request that you investigate this dispute promptly and thoroughly. Based on the lack of authorization and the missing disclosures, I demand that you exclude the XXXX transaction from my credit report. Please notify me of the results within the timeframe mandated by the FCRA. 

If the investigation confirms my claim, I expect you to update my report and reflect the exclusion of this disputed transaction. Additionally, please provide me with a copy of the updated report. 

I understand that you are required to notify me of the results of your investigation within 30 days of receiving this letter. If I do not receive a response within that timeframe, or if I am not satisfied with your investigation, I will be forced to pursue further action as authorized by the FCRA. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I called Verizon Wireless Credit card company, Synchrony, about why my credit limit was decreased. I shared with the representative my payment history of not missing any payments and paying my credit card balances off, ( sometimes over time, but always paying the entire balance ). He explained the algorithm system that credit bureaus use, which led to the decrease of my credit limit. He also informed me that because it is a system, that the system does not use any human variables. He suggested that I file a complaint and request for a human to look over my application and determine if I qualify for my credit limit to increase back to its original amount of {$12000.00}. 

I spoke with a personal associate before I called Synchrony who has the same credit card that I have and he suggested that I do what the representative had stated. My associate had told me that he experienced the exact same thing and was allowed to return to his original credit limit after a human representative looked over his account and application. 

I expressed to the Synchrony representative that I wanted to pursue this opportunity and I would like to request for a human to look over my account and application. A Credit Bureau Specialist by the name XXXX XXXX did not take the time to look at my application and denied me within the hour of my request. He chose not to consider me for the opportunity, but instead denied me because he saw on my application that I was a XXXX woman. My personal associate, who is a white male received a letter from XXXX XXXX reinstating his original credit limit and apologizing for lowering his credit limit and explained to him how the algorithm does not consider human factors. XXXX XXXX also expressed to my associate his deepest regrets for any problems that may have occurred concerning the matter. But XXXX XXXX denied me the exact same opportunity and he would not look at my application any further. 

My credit limit was decreased to {$9000.00} because the algorithm suggested that I would not be able to pay off my bill. I have paid off my Synchrony credit card. I was discriminated against by XXXX XXXX and Synchrony.

Company: EdFinancial Services
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My credit score recently went down by XXXX points and the only thing that changed is EdFinancial decided to start reporting my student loans TWICE and incorrectly so it now looks as if I have more than double the debt. For reference, they have two older reports ( with the last payment showing as XXXX and I just made payments in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX of XXXX, etc ) that show incorrect student loan balances of in excess of {$26000.00} altogether ( one approximately {$9800.00} and the other approximately {$16000.00} ) - these amounts and payments are incorrect and need to be removed from my credit. They ALSO have an entry for approx. {$25000.00} - this is the only correct entry on my credit and includes the ENTIRETY of my student loans. I do not owe over XXXX XXXX XXXX  anymore - and they will not fix it. They claim they are unable to even look into it unless I file a dispute with experian first. I have done so but how lazy and cruel? Your ( EdFinancial ) poor accounting and reporting caused my credit to drop by XXXX points while we are shopping for a home for our family and you cant be bothered to fix it unless forced to do so by an outside party? I am extremely disappointed with this servicing company. Please provide more oversight. Perhaps if they remember the watchdog is watching they will behave a bit better.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I recently obtained a copy of my credit report and discovered several accounts listed in collections that do not belong to me. To address this issue, I promptly sent a written dispute letter to the consumer reporting agency requesting them to validate the accounts in question. Despite my adherence to the proper dispute process and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the consumer reporting agency failed to respond within the 30-day period required by law. 

The presence of these erroneous collection accounts on my credit report has significantly impacted my credit score and has caused undue stress and potential financial harm. As a consumer, I am entitled to accurate information on my credit report and prompt resolution of disputes.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: CLGF Holdco 1, LLC
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I received my Destiny Mastercard from Concora Credit and have faced significant issues with using the card. Despite having sufficient credit available, nearly every transaction I attempt is declined due to alleged fraud alerts. These declines have occurred for both small and modest transactions, rendering the card effectively unusable.

Each time a transaction is declined, I contact customer support. They inform me that a fraud alert has been triggered and instruct me to wait 24 hours before attempting to use the card again. Despite following these instructions, the same issue recurs with each attempt to use the card, even for low-value purchases. Support representatives claim that the fraud detection system is managed by Mastercard and can not be adjusted, which I believe is misleading. They also are unable to provide any information whatsoever as to what criteria determines the triggering of the fraud alert. 

Notably, my account has declined several transactions over {$20.00}, including a {$35.00} purchase at XXXX, while only approving smaller transactions under {$5.00} despite the fact that I had already shopped one time at XXXX for ~ {$17.00}. This inconsistency is perplexing and has caused significant inconvenience. I have attached a screenshot of my transaction history, highlighting these issues. 

Furthermore, the card carries a significant annual fee of {$120.00}, which was charged upfront. Due to the ongoing transaction issues, I have not been able to effectively use the card in the slightest, making this fee unjustifiable. 

I believe Concora Credit is not acting in good faith and is engaging in predatory practices by collecting fees without providing a usable service. I request a full refund of the annual fee, a review, and adjustment of the fraud detection settings, and a clear explanation of the criteria used for fraud alerts. I have searched XXXX, and it is quite clear this is not a problem isolated to myself.
