Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as U.S. Bankruptcy Court -VERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court Public Record - XXXX - XX/XX/year> that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing.

Complaint narrative:
b'To Whom It May Concern,\n\nI am filing a formal complaint against Eastern Bank for wrongfully closing my XXXX  XXXX account following multiple good-faith reports of fraudulent and unauthorized transactions that were made without my knowledge or consent.\n\nAfter submitting multiple fraud claimsas is my legal right under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA), 15 U.S.C.  1693 et seq., and Regulation E (12 C.F.R.  1005)Eastern Bank closed my account and provided the reasoning as an inability to safeguard my XXXX  card.\n\nThis justification is both inappropriate and inconsistent with federal protections granted to consumers under EFTA. Consumers are not expected to guarantee the security of their XXXX card at all times. In fact, the law explicitly recognizes that fraud can occur without the consumers fault, and that financial institutions have a legal obligation to:\n\t\tPromptly investigate reported unauthorized transactions;\n\t\tProvide provisional credit if the investigation exceeds XXXX  business days;\n\t\tDeliver written results of the investigation;\n\t\tAnd refrain from penalizing or retaliating against consumers for filing legitimate claims.\n\nBy placing the blame on me for being a victim of fraudand denying me access to open a new accountEastern Bank is engaging in retaliatory action for my rightful use of fraud protections. This not only disregards my rights as a consumer, but also creates an environment where victims of fraud are punished instead of protected.\n\nEastern Banks decision to close my account and permanently deny me access to banking services is both discriminatory and punitive, and it undermines public trust in financial protections.\n\nI am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau:\n\t1.\tInvestigate Eastern Banks handling of my account closure and fraud claims;\n\t2.\tDetermine whether their actions are in violation of EFTA and Regulation E;\n\t3.\tRequire Eastern Bank to reinstate my eligibility to open a new account;\n\t4.\tEnsure consumers are not punished for being victims of XXXX  card fraud.\n\nSincerely,\nXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ) says ( XXXX ) 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. 

This is a violation of both XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Im writing because I discovered a credit inquiry on my report that I did not authorize or consent to in any way. This inquiry was done online and is completely fraudulentI had no knowledge of it until I reviewed my credit report.

Let me be absolutely clear : I did not apply for any credit, service, or product that would have required this inquiry. I never gave anyone permission to access my credit file, and I certainly did not authorize it through any online platform. This is a clear violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires any credit inquiry to be made only with my explicit consent and for a legitimate, permissible purpose.

This is identity misuseplain and simple. And I should not have to suffer the consequences of a fraudulent action I had no part in. A hard inquiry, especially one that I did not authorize, affects my credit score and puts my financial reputation at risk.
