Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you with a sense of urgency and righteous indignation regarding the gross violations of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 605B and 604. The wanton disregard for the law and my rights as a consumer by the involved parties demands immediate and aggressive action to rectify this injustice.

The deletion or suspension of accounts following a data breach and unauthorized inquiries is not merely a suggestion but a legal mandate under FCRA Section 605B [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ]. Additionally, FCRA Section 604 [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ], which outlines permissible purposes of consumer reports, is unequivocally relevant in this context. 

I am formally disputing the accounts detailed in my consumer credit report, which are clearly stemming from data breaches or fraud. The gravity of this situation can not be overstated, as it represents a direct violation of my rights as a consumer. I demand concrete, verifiable evidence bearing my signature or electronic signature to substantiate these claims. 

It is abundantly clear that these actions were initiated without adequate validation or presentation of original evidence from any of the reporting entities. Such egregious disregard for protocol and consumer protection laws can not be tolerated. 

I implore you to take immediate and decisive action to address this matter and ensure that justice is served. The involved parties must be held accountable for their XXXX  violations of the law and the harm they have caused me as a result. 

I expect nothing less than a thorough investigation and swift resolution to this matter. Anything short of that would be an affront to justice and a failure to uphold the principles of fairness and accountability that are enshrined in our legal system. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I eagerly await your prompt response and the actions you will take to right this wrong.

My car was paid off last year at the end of the year and then by the next month on my credit report it stated I was late to make a payment. I then called Experian and they gave me the run around telling me to call the dealership while the dealership stated to call the credit bureau,, after going back in forth a team member from Experian told me to put in a dispute I put the it was paid off in full then about a month later Experian stated that the account was deleted instead of closed resulting to me no longer having a credit score. Ive reach out to both the dealership and credit bureau and Im still getting the run around. Experian told me to reach out the the dealer to get an reinsertion letter due to the dealership telling them to just delete it instead of providing evidence that my account was paid in full

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On Friday at XXXX XXXX  EST, I attempted to make a purchase using XXXX XXXX. The charge initially got approved but then seconds later got declined. I received confirmation from both XXXX  XXXX  and M & T Bank. About 3-4 minutes later, the charge was voided, and the funds were returned to my account. 

However, the next morning ( XX/XX/year> ), I noticed that the same transaction that got voided is pending, and my account is missing {$4000.00}. I contacted M & T Bank in panic because I have bills to pay today and urgent matters to handle. I was told that the transaction is processing, but I don't understand why the funds were removed from my account since the transaction was voided and the funds were returned. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX, and they confirmed that the transaction was declined on Friday at XXXX XXXX  EST, and the funds were returned to my bank on the same day. The supervisor I spoke to at M & T Bank acknowledged the issue but couldn't explain why the transaction is pending and why my balance isn't reflecting the returned {$4000.00}. 

I followed the supervisor 's recommendation to call XXXX emergency services. XXXX ( The supervisor ) filed a complaint and a dispute, but I later canceled the dispute because it's unnecessary since M & T Bank has my money. However, I was informed that M & T Bank declined my request. 

Then I called M & T bank again & a supervisor was telling me the reason why its pending is because XXXX is still processing the charge lets keep in mind The transaction was voided shortly after it was initiated, meaning it should not require further processing. If the transaction was voided and the funds were returned promptly, there should be no reason for it to still be pending. After telling her this I was further on told the bank or the merchant is processing the return but the original transaction was voided, and the funds were returned to my account promptly. Its confusing to hear that the bank or the merchant is still processing the return, especially since XXXX XXXX confirmed that the transaction was declined and the funds were returned on the same day. 

Based on these conversations with two of the supervisors it proves that M & T Banks explanation doesnt hold up, and they are responsible for the error and inconvenience caused. 

As a result of M & T Bank 's error, I have incurred a significant loss & I urgently request compensation for this loss.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> spoke with XXXX at Freedom Financial. Started program with them to handle XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. He explained that there would be at least 50 % off on each debt. I could only afford XXXX bimonthly. He told me that for 6 months my credit would be bad, but once the creditors started to be dealt with, score would go up. He said there would be a XXXX charge a month for fee to handle this. Also said to try to make extra payments. I'm XXXX and only have social security so it was hard. They said once there was XXXX in my account, they would reach out to first creditor. Not a word that they would take out a lump sum as each creditor was dealt with. So after my homeowner taxes were paid, I paid XXXX bimonthly and a one time of XXXX and XXXX. Last month, they settled with XXXX XXXX XXXX @ month for 6 months. But Freedom took XXXXof my XXXX for themselves. This was never told to me. I was told they would take everything for Freedom after all debts were paid. This is fraudulent. I then cancelled.
