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: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the following negative items on my credit report. 
Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

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

Complaint narrative:
I disputed an inaccurate and unverifiable XXXX XXXX account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which appears in my Experian credit report ( # XXXX, generated XX/XX/year> ). This same account was already deleted from my XXXX file after they determined it could not be verified. Despite this, Experian continues to report the account without ever providing physical documentation or a detailed explanation of the verification process. 

The opening date of the account reported by Experian differs from that reported by XXXX Other critical details, such as the charge-off description and update history, are also inconsistent. These differences directly violate FCRA 607 ( b ), which requires credit information to be accurate and complete, and FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which requires furnishers to report information consistently.

I requested, as allowed under FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), to see the documents Experian used to verify the accountsuch as the signed contract, payment history, or repossession notice. I never received anything.

Furthermore, Experian failed to describe the verification procedure in writing, in violation of FCRA 611 ( b ). I believe this dispute was handled through an automated system ( e-OSCAR ) and not reasonably investigated. This contradicts legal precedent established in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, which state that credit bureaus must conduct meaningful, manual reinvestigations.

Company: Monarch Recovery Holdings, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Hi, On XX/XX/XXXX, I received forwarded mail regarding a balance owed on a XXXX XXXX account that had been sent to your agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . This account is linked to a previous apartment I shared with a roommate. After reviewing the bill, I immediately contacted your office to dispute the balance, explaining that it is not my responsibility. 

The representative I spoke with insisted the debt was mine and stated that it was for a XXXX XXXX account dating back to XX/XX/XXXX. I explained that I moved out of the apartment in XX/XX/XXXX and had paid my share of the utilities, including XXXX XXXX. My former roommate failed to pay their portion, which I only became aware of after moving out. 

Further investigation revealed that the apartment complex opened the XXXX XXXX account in my name on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXwithout my knowledge or authorization. I have documentation confirming this and have since filed a civil court case against my former roommate. This account, now reported to the credit bureaus under my name, is fraudulent and was never personally authorized by me. 

I also contacted XXXX, who advised that simply paying the collection does not guarantee it will be deleted from my credit report. The collection agency must explicitly request deletion, and this agreement must be made in writing. I attempted to resolve the matter by requesting a pay-for-delete arrangement in line with XXXX guidance, but your agency has yet to provide confirmation. 

As of XX/XX/XXXX, I have filed a formal dispute with the credit bureaus and submitted evidence showing the XXXX XXXX account was opened without my consent. I am deeply disappointed by the misleading information and lack of cooperation Ive experienced from your agency, especially as it appears you are attempting to collect a debt based on an account opened fraudulently. 

I urge your agency to thoroughly review this case and resolve the matter promptly. I have sent a letter in the mail proposing a pay to delete of the collection account. I am open to working together to reach a fair and accurate resolution of this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I want my credit report to only reflect accurate information, which is why its important to verify the accuracy of this data rather than relying solely on what the data furnisher has provided. Its frustrating to see my credit get negatively affected by inaccuracies that arent my fault. I'm deeply concerned about these errors and they've been causing me stress and it's also impacting my ability to secure new credit. They are mixed, fraudulent information that Ive never authorized or benefited from. This situation is unfair. Hope you can address this soon to prevent further damage, please.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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.
