Complaint narrative:
I was the victim of a purchase scam involving a XXXX transaction. I sent {$1200.00} on XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX to someone who claimed to be selling a vehicle. After payment, the seller disappeared, and I never received the car. I reported the fraud to my bank, but they refused to help because the transaction was authorized.

I have documentation available and am willing to cooperate fully. I have gotten assistance from law enforcement with filing a police report as well as identifying the scammers name and current addresses.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding Equifax 's failure to properly investigate my consumer report dispute, in direct violation of their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XXXX XXXX XXXX I filed a formal dispute with Equifax to correct fraudulent and inaccurate information appearing on my consumer report. Instead of conducting a proper investigation, Equifax responded with a stall letter that neither addressed my dispute nor took steps to resolve the inaccuracies. 

I am aware that the CFPB has recently filed a lawsuit against Equifax for these very same practices namely, their systemic failure to properly investigate consumer disputes. I am a direct victim of this misconduct. 

As a XXXX veteran who suffers from XXXX, this experience has been extremely stressful and emotionally triggering. I am currently in the process of closing on a mortgage, and I am under strict time constraints with only one week remaining to finalize my home purchase. Equifaxs refusal to lawfully process my dispute is putting my homeownership at serious risk, compounding my stress and potentially causing irreparable harm to my financial future.

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Equifax fully complies with the FCRA, properly investigates my dispute without further delay, and removes the fraudulent and inaccurate items from my consumer report. I also request that Equifax be held accountable for the injury and distress they have caused.

I am attaching supporting documents, including copies of my dispute submission and Equifaxs stall letter, should you require further evidence of their noncompliance. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow-up to my previous dispute regarding multiple inaccurate addresses still being reported on my Experian credit file. Despite my prior request, these false addresses remain. THE ONLY ACCURATE AND AUTHORIZED ADDRESS IS : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. The following addresses are inaccurate, unauthorized, outdated, and must be permanently REMOVED : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; and * XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. This is a clear violation of 15 USC 1681e ( b ), which requires Experian to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure that the information they report is accurate before including it in a consumer file, and 15 USC 1681b, which prohibits reporting data without a valid permissible purpose. Reporting these addresses is reckless and harmfulit negatively affects my credit score and creates serious risks of identity theft. Continuing to include these addresses after being informed they are incorrect may also constitute willful noncompliance under 15 USC 1681n, entitling me to statutory damages. Experian must act immediately to correct this. Stop reporting false data and fix my file.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Removal of Inaccurate Repossession Entry Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute an inaccurate and incomplete entry on my credit report related to a repossessed vehicle. The account in question is being reported with an incorrect balance and without proper notice regarding the vehicles sale, which violates my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Account : XXXX Account Number : n/a Reasons for Dispute : 1. Inaccurate Balance : The creditor failed to update the balance on this account after the vehicle was sold at auction. The reported balance is inflated and does not reflect the proceeds of the sale, which should have been applied toward the account. This constitutes inaccurate reporting and must be corrected or removed.

2. Lack of Required Notification : I was never provided with a notice of sale or a redemption opportunity after the repossession. This is a violation of my rights and applicable state and federal laws, including requirements under the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ) and the FCRA.

3. Failure to Provide Documentation : I have not received any documentation verifying the balance due or confirming that proper procedures were followed in notifying me about the sale. Without verifiable evidence, this item must be removed under Section 609 and Section 611 of the FCRA.

I am requesting that this entry be thoroughly investigated and permanently removed from my credit report due to the creditors failure to provide accurate and complete information. 

Please send me written confirmation of the results of your investigation and, if applicable, an updated credit report reflecting these changes. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this
