Complaint narrative:
I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information on my credit report pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and to formally request that this information be blocked. I have enclosed a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC Report Number XXXX XXXX ) to support my identity theft claim.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as resulting from identity theft within four business days. 

The following item on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX As required by law, I respectfully request that you immediately block this fraudulent information from my credit report. The block must remain in place for at least one year, during which you are prohibited from reporting any information that has been identified as fraudulent. I may request an extension of this block if necessary. 

I have contacted the credit bureau multiple times to report this fraudulent account, yet no resolution has been provided. This situation is severely affecting me, as it is preventing me from securing a new home for my children. These accounts have already been removed or not verified by other bureaus, so I do not understand why they are still being reported as mine. 

I have also requested supporting documentation or contracts from the reporting creditor, but more than 60 days have passed without any response. I urge you to assist me by promptly removing this account. I have attached the FTC report for your review and trust that you will make a fair and appropriate decision in my case.

Consumer Name : XXXX XXXX, Consumer Social Security Number : XXXX, Consumer Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX, Contents of Complaint : This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the Equifax credit reporting agency , block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. This fraudulent, inaccurate, and false information consists of a personal credit card account opened at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX, an auto loan account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX, a personal loan account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX, and a collections account opened at XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$0.00} that appears related to the aforementioned personal loan account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I've attached a list of the hard inquiries in question as well as a copy of the consumer FICO credit report maintained by you which shows the aforementioned fraudulent items. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, or hard inquiries as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud.

Company: Transform Credit Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
My monthly payment is {$330.00} in the monthly accrued interest is {$250.00} instead of applying my entire monthly payment to the principal which would intern reduce the monthly accrued interest. My melting payment first is applied to the monthly accrued interest in the remainder applied to the principal in the monthly accrued interest is added to the principal for the next month so the total amount that the interest is applied to is only {$100.00} less than the month before instead of {$330.00} less so each month the monthly accrued interest is nearly the same amount making it Nearly impossible to pay off the loan at a reasonable rate because accrued interest is added to the principal every month. Why cant my payments be taken off the principal owed every month and why is the next month interest being added to the total principal. My {$330.00} payment is only taking {$100.00} off the principal every month. This is a very predatory type of unethical repayment system.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Under the CARES Act, creditors were required to report accounts as current if they were placed under deferment, forbearance, or other accommodation during the COVID-19 pandemic. My SYNCB/XXXX account ( Account Number : XXXX ) was under such an arrangement in XXXX and XXXX, and therefore, no late payments should have been reported during that time. 

Despite this, there are multiple inaccurate and inconsistent late payment entries on my credit report across all three credit bureaus : XXXX  reports the account as Pays as Agreed, yet also shows a 30-day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX and a 60-day late in XX/XX/XXXX. 

XXXX  lists the account as 60 days late, while XXXX shows only 30 days late, and even reports OK for certain months in question. 

These discrepancies are not only contradictory, but they also violate the protections granted under the CARES Act for accounts in deferment. Furthermore, I dispute the accuracy of any alleged late payments, as I have never been late on this Synchrony/PayPal account .

The reporting across bureaus is clearly inconsistent and erroneous, which damages the integrity of my credit profile. I have attached documentation highlighting these conflicts and discrepancies. 

I am formally requesting that all inaccurate and inconsistent late payments associated with this account be immediately removed from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information contained in my credit report under Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed a late payment entry for the account listed below which I believe to be inaccurate : According to my records, this account was not late, and I am enclosing documentation ( e.g., bank statements, account statements, correspondence ) that supports my claim. Under FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), I am requesting that this information be reinvestigated and corrected or removed if it can not be verified as accurate.

In addition, under FCRA 602 ( A ), consumers have the right to fair and accurate credit reporting. Reporting a payment as late when it was not is a violation of this standard. If the bureau is unable to verify the late payment with the furnisher, it must be removed from the report. 

Please complete your reinvestigation and respond to me in writing within the required XXXX timeframe, as stipulated in FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Also, please send me a free copy of my updated credit report reflecting the results of your reinvestigation. 

If this information is not corrected or removed, I will consider filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and may explore other legal remedies. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
