Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a formal dispute to Equifax under Section 605B of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), providing my official FTC Identity Theft Report and requesting the immediate blocking of fraudulent accounts. By law, the agency was required to block the disputed information within four ( 4 ) business days. 
Instead of complying, the bureau simply verified the account using internal data from the furnisher, without providing any written certification, signed contract, or details of the investigation, as required under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) and 609 ( a ). 
More than 30 days have passed, and the fraudulent account still remains on my credit file. This constitutes a violation of FCRA 605B, 611, and 607 ( b ), as the agency failed to : Block the information within the required 4-day period.

Provide the results of the reinvestigation and the verification procedures. 
Remove unverifiable information from my report. 
As a result, my credit score remains artificially low, I have been denied credit, I am forced to pay higher interest rates, and I continue to suffer financial and reputational harm.

Company: Perpay, Inc.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> ( Around XXXX ) I noticed on a paystub that duplicate direct deposit payments were made to a company XXXX. XXXX Is a company that provides consumers the ability to make purchases, so as long as payments are made via direct deposit from your employer. Additionally. XXXX extended me a line of credit via a XXXX XXXX credit card, and payments for the use of credit or set up monthly in a separate direct deposit. 

I contacted the credit card division for XXXX first because they had a phone number. I spoke with a representative that was not incredibly helpful in explaining the questions that I had raised regarding the allocation of my direct deposit money. The representative then told me that they would create a trouble ticket and I would hear back from a different department later in the week. I never heard from anybody and nobody reached out. About another week later, I started a ticket via the XXXX XXXX  app to raise the same issues and concerns about the allocation of my direct deposit being duplicated. Ever since initiating this dialogue in XXXX I have gotten nowhere with this company except for the promise to return my over payment, which I have yet to receive. 

The last correspondence I have was another attempt on XX/XX/year> to reinitiate this issue, as I saw, they had closed out my previous tickets and conversations regarding the matter. 

I have provided everything to them that they have requested. Therefore, I believe they have all the information necessary to return my duplicated overpayment that started in XX/XX/year>.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I made a purchase on XX/XX/XXXX of a backpack for my daughter from XXXX for {$72.00}. After a few days I went to check to see when the order would arrive as school is approaching. The site no longer existed. I sent XXXX emails asking the merchant about the shipping info. No response was given both times. When I attempt to check the shipping information it is in XXXX. When I finally was able to convert it to XXXX it stated the sight wasnt active. I then disputed the charge with cash app. Within their investigation they stated that the claim was denied because they reached out to me and didnt hear anything. Mind you the first initial email I got was it being denied because hey couldnt get in contact with me. I have no missed calls from cash app. And if they did call and I missed it, I have no voicemail so I dont believe for XXXX second that it was properly investigated. To this day I still have yet to receive an email from the merchant and the issue with the shipping information is still happening. As a single mother I am not looking to lose out on a XXXX. O do not feel that cash app did their best with the investigation and I promise you they didnt get in contact with anyone on the merchant side as well.
