Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Transunion XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Collection Account Reporting and Request for Investigation Dear XXXX Dispute Department, I am writing to formally dispute an entry on my credit report related to an account listed under your agency as a charge-off. The account does not appear on my XXXX credit report but is currently showing as a charge-off on both TransUnion and XXXX. I believe this information is inaccurate and must be corrected.

2. A corrected copy of my credit report reflects the updated status of this account. 

Please conduct a thorough investigation of this account and ensure that the information reported to the credit bureaus is accurate. If this debt can not be verified or is deemed incorrect, I request that it be removed from my credit report, as it is causing unnecessary harm to my credit standing.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a formal dispute letter to Experian via USPS certified mail tracking # XXXX to address inaccurate items on my credit report. Along with this letter, I provided comprehensive documentation to verify my identity, including a copy of my photo ID, Social Security card, and a recent utility bill with my current address. 
In my dispute, I explicitly requested specific information regarding the verification process : -Details on how the disputed item was verified. 
-The date when Experian contacted the creditor and furnisher. 
-Contact information for the creditor and furnisher. 
-The name of the individual who verified the item. 
-The method of communication used to verify the disputed information ( e.g., phone, email, mail ). 
-Confirmation on whether the creditor and furnisher provided any sensitive personal information, such as my Social Security Number, address, and date of birth during the verification process. 
I received an email from Experian on XX/XX/XXXX with the following statement : " We received a recent request regarding your credit information that does not appear to have been sent directly by you or to be authorized by you. As a precautionary measure, we have not taken any action on your alleged request. '' This response is completely unacceptable and appears to be a blatant violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The FCRA clearly requires Experian to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed items in a consumers file. There is no ambiguity in this requirement ; Experian 's refusal to investigate my dispute, despite receiving sufficient verification documents and a clear request, represents a failure to meet its statutory obligation. 
I am including a copy of my dispute letter sent to Experian along with Experians response as proof.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Despite my previous disputes, the creditor continues to knowingly and willingly report false information, which is a violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Here is the breakdown of the discrepancies : XXXX : Shows no late payments. 
Equifax : Shows one 30-day late payment. 
XXXX : Shows two late payments ; one for 30 days another for 60 days This inconsistent reporting not only demonstrates a lack of compliance but also indicates intentional misconduct. Furthermore, there should not be any late payments associated with this account. The creditors deliberate actions are causing undue harm to my credit profile and financial well-being, as this inaccurate reporting has adversely impacted my credit score and my ability to secure financial opportunities. 

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, creditors are obligated to report accurate and consistent information to credit reporting agencies. The continued failure to do so, despite prior disputes, is not only negligent but also a willful violation of federal law. All three credit bureaus are reporting different information and according to 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures, " Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. '' This is a direct violation and furthermore proves that there was no investigation to provide proper verification. The same information should be reported across all three credit reporting agencies. 

Furthermore, XXXX does not show any data for the year 2018 but the two late payments which is a shady business tactic due to those being the only negative information reflected that year. They purposely did that as well as Equifax only showing one late payment for the year but no other available data.

Company: ACIMA CREDIT, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I reached out to Acima requesting information on why I was being charged a NSF fee of {$25.00} after they could not run my card. I keep my card locked because I have been a victim of fraud. They attempted to run my card and the system did not allow them to process the payment. I was told that because they could not process my payment that I was charged {$25.00}. I contacted my bank XXXX who told me that they do not charge fees to the business when that business can not charge a customers card. So I am wondering why Acima can charge predatory NSF fees on payments simply because a card wouldnt process. Acima said this is the fee they charge when they can not process a card and its nothing they can do about it. In my opinion this is predatory for a company to tack on a {$25.00} NSF fee every time they attempt to run a card. Mind you, they only tack on this bogus fee for cards. There is not a {$25.00} late fee for late payments made manually. Also, they charged this {$25.00} NSF fee the same day that my payment was due. I wasnt given an opportunity to make the payment the same day and have this fee removed. They added it to my payment balance. I am sure I am not the only person theyve done this to. {$25.00} over time from customers adds up to a lot of money. Id like to make the CFPB aware that they are indeed tacking on predatory {$25.00} NSF fees on the same day a payment is due. If banks arent allowed to do it, then neither should Acima.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the publication of certain information on my credit report in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). According to 15 U.S.C. 1681b, credit reporting agencies may only include information in a consumer 's credit report if there is a permissible purpose defined by law and if the consumer has explicitly authorized it. 

In this specific case, I never gave my consent, nor was I presented with any contract or disclosure explicitly authorizing, either in writing or verbally, the publication of the following accounts on my credit report. Therefore, the inclusion of this information is inaccurate and constitutes a violation of my rights as a consumer. 

Accounts in Dispute : Creditor Name and Account Number : XXXX  XXXX XXXX ( Reported Date : XX/XX/XXXX ) Creditor Name and Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Reported Date : XX/XX/XXXX ) Furthermore, according to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits a formal identity theft report, credit reporting agencies must block any information identified by the consumer within four business days. Although this case does not involve identity theft, the lack of consent and disclosure reflects a violation of the FCRAs principles requiring accuracy, transparency, and lawful reporting. 

I am also attaching my FTC identity theft report to support my dispute, including the report number : FTC Report Number : XXXX. 

I remind you that under the FCRA, you are required to complete your investigation of this dispute. Failure to comply with these legal requirements may result in additional actions, including formal complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and other regulatory agencies.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

" I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft. 

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.
