Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have tried to get XXXX to properly report my account for years. XXXX is causing a personal injury to my family and I by not reporting the correct information. The usage updates automatically numerous times a month. My payment on my accounts are not being updated and are adversely affecting my accounts and my credit. I have screen shots and recorded phone calls with banks and representatives of XXXX. XXXX always blame the institutions and vice versa. This in sure is a trend impacting certain demographics more than others. I have over half my accounts pass the thirty day mark with no update. I'm trying to get out of a hotel to find a home. If my credit card usage goes up everyday and my payments do not update there is false information projected by XXXX and the other two major credit distribution organizations.

Complaint narrative:
Im writing you today about a grave issue. My privacy rights are being invaded. Per 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) you have full responsibility to exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Im exercising this right under the code. Please see the following information is handled with the utmost fairness, impartiality and respect for my right to privacy.

For the record, Im the one whos initiating the disputes under MY NAME. The following items are UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming these are fraudulent or of a high risk nature. The documents Ive provided are legit. These are mine, filed with the appropriate agencies & support my position. According to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) ( a ) Block. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.

In your previous correspondence you mentioned that my identity theft report needed to be filed with a law enforcement agency which subjects to criminal prosecution. One of these agencies is the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). FYI the report I was filed online WITH THE FTC which by your representation IS A law enforcement agency. My FTC Report # is XXXX. I dont think you have reviewed the documents submitted & are sending me frivolous boiler plate responses to deflect from your responsibility to comply with FCRA laws. Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Again, under 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.

Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
Purchased AMEX eGift card directly from AMEX on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$750.00}. In my many attempts to use the card, transactions have been declined at XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ( my regional trash collection company ), and XXXX XXXX, all via online transactions at their respective web site payment portals. I have called the phone number provided on the AMEX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) several times, but found it to be 100 % automated, with no ability whatsoever to access a human, and none of the automated decision tree options are relevant. Note : their automated system does provide a blanket statement to all callers that ( paraphrased here ) 'due to fraud issues, online transactions are often rejected, and that the solution is the cardholder USE THE CARD ELSEWHERE ... '', which is an absurd " solution '' for a card that is advertised as " Your American Express XXXXGift Card may be used at US merchants that accept American Express Cards '' ( printed on the actual eGift Card, and plastered on the website where the card was originally purchased ). I don't want to use it " elsewhere, '' I want to use it at the place ( that does indeed accept AMEX ) I was tryinig to use it at. Further, while I was successful in using this now semi-useless eGift card at a few generic retailers ( XXXX, for ~ {$25.00}, and a local city recreation department class signup for ~ {$22.00} ), I have not been able to retrieve my card balance or view transactions on the AMEX " balance '' website at XXXX : XXXX. I have tried to use this site at least a dozen times in the past 2 weeks, with the results always being several error messages -- one red error message at the top of the page reading " The system has experienced an unknown error. Please try again later. '' and an inline error under the " Transactions '' section of the page that reads " Error Retrieving Transactions. '' And additionally, under " Available Balance, '' the line is blank. At this point, the card is nearly useless as I can not use it for the intended purchase of paying several bills -- since my attempts have all been declined. It's frankly, embarrassing, that a company with the long-standing business reputation of being 'best in class ' would offer such a fundamentally broken product to its " valued '' customers.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AK

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because I have been unable to access my free annual credit report through TransUnions website and mobile app, as well as being unable to file disputes on their platform. This has been an ongoing issue, and despite several attempts to log in and resolve the matter, I have been denied access to my account.

Key Details : Attempts to Log In : I have tried multiple times to log in using my credentials, but I repeatedly receive error messages that prevent me from accessing my account.

Customer Service : I have contacted TransUnions customer service, but no resolution was provided. [ Include specific dates, times, and the names of representatives if possible. ] Dispute Access Blocked : In addition to the login issue, I am unable to file disputes online, which is a violation of my rights under multiple consumer protection laws.

Laws Potentially Violated : 1. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : TransUnion is violating my right to access my free annual credit report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) and my right to dispute inaccurate information on my report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). Their failure to allow me to dispute errors online also contradicts their obligation to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure accuracy ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ).

2. Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ) : Under the CFPA, TransUnions actions could be considered unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices ( 12 U.S.C. 5531 ). They are failing to provide me with the access I am entitled to under the law.

3. Federal Trade Commission Act ( FTC Act ) : By not providing access to my credit report and blocking my ability to dispute errors, TransUnion is engaging in potentially unfair or deceptive practices, which is prohibited under the FTC Act ( 15 U.S.C. 45 ). 
4. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act : TransUnions practices may violate UDAAP provisions ( 12 U.S.C. 5531 & 5536 ) by unfairly restricting access to credit report information and dispute processes.

5. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act ( E-Sign Act ) : If TransUnion is providing electronic access to credit reports and disputes but not making them accessible to me, they may be violating the E-Sign Act ( 15 U.S.C. 7001 ).

6. Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) : By limiting my ability to access my credit report and dispute errors, TransUnion may be violating the ECOA ( 15 U.S.C. 1691 ) by potentially preventing me from accessing my credit history.

7. Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ) : TransUnions actions may hinder my ability to monitor my credit for identity theft, violating my rights under FACTA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681m ).
