Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding inaccurate and inconsistent credit reporting by Elan Financial Services ( XXXXXXXX XXXX ) and their failure to conduct a lawful investigation. 

I experienced a documented COVID-related hardship during XX/XX/XXXX, which caused a single late payment. When I disputed this, XXXX  deleted the late after investigation, showing the information is not consistently verifiable. 

Elan responded to me on XX/XX/XXXX claiming that XXXX is not reporting the delinquency. This is false. My XXXX credit disclosure shows a XXXX late in XX/XX/XXXX. Meanwhile, XXXX is reporting a 30-day late for XX/XX/XXXX, which is completely different. This means the same account is being furnished with two different delinquency dates, depending on the bureau. 

This is a clear sign of inaccurate furnishing, inconsistent data, and an unreasonable investigation by the furnisher. Elan also stated in writing that they do not do goodwill deletions, which is a blanket policy and inconsistent with CFPB expectations that pandemic hardship cases be reviewed individually.

The combination of ( 1 ) the COVID hardship, ( 2 ) the XXXX deletion, ( 3 ) contradictory late-payment dates across bureaus, and ( 4 ) Elans incorrect statements about what is being reported shows that Elan did not comply with FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ). Their investigation was not reasonable and their reporting is inaccurate.

I am requesting that the CFPB require a proper reinvestigation and correction of the inconsistent and inaccurate reporting.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as " - XXXX BKPT CT IN XXXX - XX/XX/year> VERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court Indiana XXXX Bankruptcy XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : XXXX. XXXX. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section XXXX, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

State: MO

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.
