Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Re : Complaint and Dispute Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint and request an investigation pursuant to my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ). My recent Equifax credit report, dated XX/XX/XXXX ( Confirmation # XXXX ), contains inaccurate and/or unverifiable information. I have attempted to resolve these issues directly with Equifax and the furnishers, but the information remains incorrect. 

Items in Dispute : * XXXX XXXX, XXXX Account # XXXX Status : Listed as Account closed ; was XXXX  days past due. 

Issue : This account shows a delinquency that is inaccurate. My records show the account was closed at my request with a XXXX balance as of XX/XX/XXXX. Reporting it as past due is false and misleading. 

* XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX Status : Listed as Charge Off with a {$55.00} balance. 

Issue : This account was inaccurately reported as charged off. My payment records reflect that the account should not have been reported delinquent or charged off. 

Any Other Negative Reporting I request a reinvestigation of all negative notations, including any late payments or charge-offs, to verify their accuracy and compliance with FCRA reporting standards.

My Rights Under the FCRA : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, I have the right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information and to have it investigated within 30 days. 

If the disputed information can not be verified, it must be deleted from my credit file. 

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Requested Action : Conduct a full and fair investigation into the above-listed items. 

Direct Equifax and the furnishers ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX and any other involved creditors ) to delete or correct the disputed entries if they can not be verified. 

Provide me with written confirmation of the outcome and an updated copy of my corrected credit report. 

I have enclosed a copy of the credit report highlighting the disputed entries and supporting documentation. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and advise me of the next steps.

Complaint narrative:
I originally filed a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and a specialist from XXXX  responded regarding the complaint asking for me to send additional private identifying documents and an explanation of my actions. I then received a message from XXXX  stated they are working on this and it would be addressed soon. After several more attempts to access my money and emailing them over and over again with no response for almost XXXX weeks. They respond with a different ref number with a general response stating they would not release my funds and will hold it up to 180 days. I have already waited over a month for my XXXX XXXX and already received the payment for this month before I even get the money XXXX  is holding which was for last month!!!!

I informed them that I will be reporting this to the CFPB again, and again and again until my XXXX XXXX are released!!!!!! release my XXXX XXXX!!!! I don't care about the closure of this XXXX  account!

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I called to resolve my collection account with National Credit Systems. I spoke with a representative named XXXX. I specifically asked about a " pay to delete '' arrangement. She told me that if I paid, the collection would be deleted. When I asked if I could receive this in writing, she refused and then stated, " and we won't '', before abruptly hanging up. This left me under the impression that even if I paid, the deletion would not occur despite her earlier statement. 
I called again and spoke with a XXXX named XXXX. He was immediately aggressive, defensive and unprofessional. He raised his voice, cut me off, and would not allow me to explain my concerns. He told me that " it's under the supervisor discretion '' to offer pay-to-delete, but then he stated he would not allow it on my account. He also said he did not care if I paid my collection and that he would " flag '' my account, then hung up on me in a rude manner. 
This behavior was unprofessional, hostile, and retaliatory. I was attempting in good faith to resolve my debt, but instead I was met with misrepresentation, refusal to communicate respectfully, and intimidation. I am requesting that the CFPB review this matter and ensure that National Credit Systems is held accountable for their practices.

Complaint narrative:
I went thru Acima Leasing to purchase furniture. I missed the early buy out option and now owe twice as much as I purchased the furniture for. I also purchased the XXXX XXXX XXXX that I pay monthly of {$68.00}. I recently called Acima to cancel my lease and return the furniture as my contract states that I can do at anytime. When talking to the Acima customer Service Department I was told I cant return the furniture as it cant be resold at the store. My options are to buy it at a lower cost or donate it to a place that will accept it and will be charged accordingly. No where in this contract I signed does it state this. Not to mention at this point why would I trust Acima with anything they say or agree to. They are liars, manipulative and misleading in their contracts. The wording in the contract is Interpreted differently to them. They twist it around to their benefit.

Complaint narrative:
Tried addressing an amount that appeared incorrect. Instead of opening a case and investigating the issue, I was effectively told to handle it myself and that the balance information given to me by the medical provider was incorrect. I tried communicating twice by email and my attempts were deflected rather than addressed. They tried calling me twice after rather than responding appropriately by email. Also their autopay cancellation policy is probably illegal. They told me it took 30 days to remove autopay. Recent legislation regarding ease of cancellation would likely consider this practice unethical.

Company: HW Holding, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I became aware of a collection account on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate and improperly reported. Upon discovery, I promptly initiated multiple disputes with the collection agency and credit bureaus to request validation of the debt. Despite these repeated efforts, the collection agency has failed to provide the legally required documentation, such as a detailed account statement, proof of debt ownership, or evidence that the debt is valid and mine. 
Instead of a proper response, I have received vague, non-responsive communications that do not address the issues I raised. The account continues to be listed on my credit report with inaccurate balances, dates, and status information, which is misleading and inconsistent with Metro 2 compliance standards. 
This failure to substantiate the debt and correct the reporting after multiple dispute attempts violates my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and other relevant federal statutes. The continued presence of this unverified collection is adversely affecting my creditworthiness and financial wellbeing.
