Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

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 on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. 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: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: ID

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony has now 3 times added a {$300.00} charge to my balance. I submitted disputes showing I did indeed make the payments their system was not showing, however they continue adding debt to my balance. The account is completely paid off, and I have gone through the payments multiple times with agents on the phone. However they continue adding debt to my account. It is becoming clear to me they are attempting to add remaining balance due to my account to bring me past the no interest period and backdate interest charges to me. Even though I have clearly submitted and even highlighted the payments in question to their disputes department, they continue saying they are unable to verify my payments were made. They are now requesting information from my bank ( transmission receipts ), which their professional team of investigators could easily obtain themselves to verify a transaction to their company. I have contacted the box store using their service, and will pursue other avenues now that theyve made clear they do not plan on resolving my second round of disputes.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I reviewed my credit report and noticed several inaccuracies, including incorrect personal information and the misreporting of late payments on my accounts. For instance, I found that accounts like XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and others were inaccurately showing late payments. These should be updated to reflect " paid as agreed '' or " never late, '' in accordance with FCRA Section 1681i, which requires that disputed information be thoroughly investigated and corrected if necessary. 

Additionally, I found discrepancies with accounts like XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX Bank, which should be deleted from my credit report, as they are not being reported accurately. Under FCRA Section 1681s-2, furnishers are obligated to provide correct information, and Ive requested that these accounts be removed immediately.

Ive attempted to resolve these issues by working with both the credit reporting agency and the creditors, but Ive been unsuccessful. Therefore, Im formally requesting that these discrepancies be corrected or deleted as required. If these issues arent resolved within 30 days as per FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I will be forced to take legal action, seeking {$1000.00} per violation for defamation, negligent enablement of identity fraud, and violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

Ive kept careful records of my efforts and do not consent to automated verification methods like e-Oscar. If this matter is not addressed promptly, I am prepared to take further action.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY. The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system. I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt XXXXollectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft. 

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

Complaint narrative:
I received a text with a verification code from the company Affirm. I went online to find out how to close my account, which I never use. They require you to call to do this. When I called, they refused to close my account, even though it is currently being hacked. 

Their excuse was that I couldn't verify all my information, despite the fact that I have done so. They even called the number associated with my account and confirmed it was me. It seems very odd that they will not comply with my request. This account is linked to my bank account, and I am very concerned that the hacker will gain access to my financial information.
