Complaint narrative:
I was XXXX  from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I was looking at my credit report after being XXXX again from XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. During that time in the end of XXXX I discovered a student loan was opened and received on XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding their handling of my request to remove fraudulent accounts from my credit report, which resulted from my experience as a victim of XXXX XXXX 

I have provided all three major credit bureausXXXX XXXXXXXX, and Equifaxwith the same documentation, which includes proof of my XXXX XXXX  status, in accordance with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Both XXXX and XXXX reviewed my documentation, accepted it, and promptly removed the fraudulent accounts from my credit report. 

However, Equifax has refused to take similar action. After submitting my documentation, Equifax responded by stating that more documentation was required, without specifying exactly what was needed. When I contacted them for clarification, I was met with rude and insensitive customer service representatives who failed to provide clear guidance or transparency regarding the results of their investigation. 

This experience has been highly distressing, and I believe Equifax 's actions are inconsistent with their legal obligations under the XXXX and FCRA. I have already provided sufficient documentation, and Equifax is adding unnecessary hardship to an already traumatic situation. Furthermore, their failure to notify me of the results of the investigation is a violation of consumer rights. 

I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau intervene and compel Equifax to remove the fraudulent accounts from my credit report, as they are required to do under the law, without requiring further documentation. XXXX and XXXX have complied with the same documentation provided, and I ask that Equifax be held to the same standard. 

I also request that Equifax be held accountable for the emotional distress their unprofessional and insensitive handling of my case has caused. Their refusal to follow proper procedures has delayed my ability to move forward from my experience as a XXXX survivor.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as my final attempt to resolve this matter before escalating to legal proceedings. Despite multiple previous disputes and my clear evidence that these accounts are inaccurately reported, you have failed to remove the erroneous information from my credit report. Your continued reporting of these items is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Violations include but are not limited to : Failure to Conduct a Proper Investigation : As required under 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ), credit reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable investigation of any disputed items. Your investigations have clearly been inadequate, as the same inaccurate information remains on my credit report. 

Reporting Inaccurate Information : Under 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ), furnishers of information are required to provide accurate information. These accounts are incorrect and have not been verified with my signed consent.

Failure to Respond to Dispute : As per FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required to respond to disputes within XXXX  days. Your repeated failure to adequately address my disputes is unacceptable.

I have provided clear evidence that the accounts listed below are not mine and should not be reported under my credit file :

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

This company never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX ID is XXXX. 

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction regarding the unexpected closure of my account and the unresolved issue of my unredeemed rewards. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out via online message to inquire about why my account was closed without having received any prior notice. On the same day, I received a response stating that I needed to use my card within 30 days of the date of the letter to keep the account open. All relevant conversations regarding this matter are shown in the attached files, XXXX. 

Following that, on XX/XX/XXXX, which was within the 30-day timeframe, I called Barclays again to ask for a replacement card since my original card was damaged and also about redeeming my XXXX miles in rewards. The agent informed me that I could redeem them for cash back and that a check would be mailed to me ( see attached file XXXX ). However, despite more than two months having passed since that conversation, I have not yet received the check. 

I have reached out multiple times via online message but have not received any valid or actionable response from Barclays. I called your customer service team again tonight, but unfortunately, there was still no response or resolution to my issue. 

Note all phone have been recorded. 

I am extremely disappointed with this lack of communication and follow-through and would appreciate immediate action on this matter. Please advise on the status of my rewards redemption and provide a timeline for when I can expect to receive the promised check.
