Consumer complaint received 2025-07-31 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Problem canceling credit monitoring or identify theft protection service
Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to formally document my efforts to have a negative tradeline removed from my credit report after the account was fully paid. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the matter directly with the original creditor, they have declined to accommodate my request. Unfortunately, the creditor has declined to make any adjustments, despite my responsible payment and clear evidence that the debt has been resolved. 

I believe this refusal is not aligned with the spirit of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly its provisions regarding the accuracy, fairness, and relevance of credit reporting. The continued reporting of this negative item, in light of full repayment, is disproportionately punitive and impedes my ability to access fair credit opportunities. 

I am requesting that the CFPB review this matter and assist in facilitating either the removal of this tradeline or an updated report that reflects the account in a more neutral or favorable light.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am responding to a collection notice received from your company. I do not recognize this claim. Please provide me with written documentation to validate this purported debt : 1. A copy of the purchase agreement between you and the original creditor who sold the debt to you which proves you are the actual owner of the debt.

2.The assignment contract between you and the original creditor Please note that a list of charges is not validation of a debt This is not my acceptance or agreement of this debt but my notice of cease and desist of all further collection activity and reporting to my credit report until you are able to validate the above-referenced claim with the assignment contract from the original creditor along with the bill of sale which proves you bought the debt from the original creditor and are the rightful owner of the debt. Thank you. I will await your reply

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

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
" I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow-up complaint against LexisNexis Risk Solutions for failing to properly process my dispute regarding inaccurate information on my consumer file, specifically a bankruptcy record ( Case # XXXX ). Despite my efforts to respond to their identity verification request and comply with all instructions, LexisNexis has not completed the dispute process, and my documentation was returned undelivered due to what appears to be an issue with the address they provided. 
On XX/XX/year>, LexisNexis sent me a letter stating they could not authenticate my identity and requested a copy of my government-issued photo ID, Social Security card , and proof of address. 
On XX/XX/year>, LexisNexis responded to my original CFPB complaint and repeated the same identity verification request. 
On XX/XX/year>, I sent all requested documents via USPS Certified Mail to the address LexisNexis provided ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX ). 
That mailing was returned to me as undeliverable, despite using the exact address listed in their communications. As a result, my dispute remains unresolved and the inaccurate bankruptcy is still on file.
