Company: Aqua Finance, Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a loan facilitated by Aqua Finance for a {$10000.00} water filtration system sold to me through deceptive, fear-based tactics by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The merchant exploited my situation as a first-time homebuyer with a pregnant spouse, using manipulated water tests and emotional pressure to induce the sale. I later discovered the systems effectiveness is unverified, the company has an XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the owner has a documented history of regulatory violations under a previous business. XXXX has since gone out of business. On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a formal written dispute under the clause Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Revolving Credit Account Purchases, consistent with Regulation Z ( 12 CFR 1026.13 ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1666 ). Despite this, Aqua Finance reported me as 30 days delinquent during an active dispute, causing significant credit damage. This violates both Regulation Z and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), which require disputed accounts to be properly flagged and protected during investigation.

Complaint narrative:
I disputed a XXXX XXXX account appearing on my Experian credit report, which is negatively impacting my score. Experian processed the dispute in XX/XX/year>, but failed to provide : A detailed method of verification ( as required by FCRA 611 ) The name and contact information of any party they contacted Any supporting documentation used to verify the account The reinvestigation appears to be superficial or automated, not compliant with federal law. I was not given a chance to properly challenge the item, and no actual investigation details were provided just a generic status update. 

I am requesting full deletion of the XXXX XXXX XXXX due to : Procedural failure by Experian under FCRA 611 Failure to disclose verification method under 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) Continued furnishing of unverifiable or inadequately investigated data If not resolved promptly, I will pursue regulatory escalation and consider legal remedies under FCRA 616 and 617.

Complaint narrative:
MARINR FINC has failed to conduct a proper investigation. They have violated 15 usc 1681s- 2b A-E and they have not even considered all relevant information regarding the dispute because the inaccuracies are all the same still. This account was also not even marked as disputed on my credit reports so this is a clear indication that these disputes were not processed correctly. This is a violation of 1681n and 1681o for being negligent and willfully non compliant. These debts are also been securitized in a trust so ( Original creditors name ) does not even own the debt anymore. Which is another inaccuracy for putting on my credit report

Complaint narrative:
I have previously disputed with Experian, Equifax and Transunion regarding multiple accounts that are inaccurate. As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I'm filing this CFPB complaint because Equifax has failed to remove a disputed account, XXXX  XXXX ( Account # : XXXX ), from my credit report, even after I mailed a formal dispute letter on XX/XX/year>. I included all necessary documents and clearly highlighted the unauthorized and unverified information, but Equifax hasnt done anything. The account is still being reported, and I havent received any proper investigation results or explanation. Honestly, it feels like they ignored my dispute completely. This account was added without my knowledge or written consent, which violates 15 U.S.C. 1681b of the FCRA ; theres no valid permissible purpose. Reporting delinquencies tied to unverified information is unacceptable and has seriously hurt my credit profile. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), Equifax is required to maintain maximum possible accuracy. But if they're still reporting unverified info after I disputed it, that shows a complete failure to follow the law. Im requesting a reinvestigation and demanding that Equifax provide the Method of Verification, as allowed under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 7 ). The law clearly says I have the right to receive, within 15 days : The business name, address, and phone number of the furnisher they contacted ; The name of the person who verified the item ; A copy of the original application or contract bearing my wet signature ; A breakdown of the compliance procedures used to verify the accuracy of the data, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). If Equifax fails to provide this information, I demand the immediate and permanent deletion of the account. Anything less is a willful violation of the FCRA and is subject to penalties under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o. This situation has caused me a lot of emotional stress and anxiety. Ive done my part by disputing the account properly, but Equifax failed to act. Im asking the CFPB to step in and make sure this gets resolved fairly and that my rights as a consumer are enforced. I do not accept generic E-Oscar responses or automated templates. That is not a real investigation, and the law requires more.

Company: MRS BPO, LLC
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding a debt collector who failed to respond to a written debt validation request. I sent a certified dispute letter under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b, requesting that the agency provide verification of the alleged debt and evidence of permissible purpose to access or report my credit file. 

The debt collector received my dispute letter on XX/XX/year>XXXX  as confirmed by USPS Certified Mail ( Tracking # XXXX. Despite allowing more than 30 days, I have received no response or validation of the debt. The collector has not ceased reporting or attempting to collect the debt, which is a violation of both FDCPA and FCRA. 

This has caused stress, confusion, and potential damage to my credit file due to inaccurate or unverifiable reporting. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this issue and ensure the collector ceases all collection activity until the debt is properly validated and removes any reporting from my credit file if they can not do so. 

I am attaching a copy of the original dispute letter, proof of delivery, and any credit report entries if applicable.

Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.
