Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against TOTAL VISA for potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ) and unfair debt collection practices. 

I previously disputed an account with XXXX and XXXX, which resulted in the deletion of the account from my credit reports due to lack of verifiable evidence provided by Total.

Despite this, TOTAL VISA has continued to disregard removing the account associated with my my Social Security number and identification in an apparent attempt to remove the matter without a valid legal basis.

This action is highly questionable under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ).

TOTAL VISA has also failed to provide a written explanation of their request and has ignored my demand for verification.

Applicable Violations : Unfair and Deceptive Practices : Requesting my personal information after an identity theft ruling appears to be a violation of FCRA 1681s-2, which requires furnishers to report accurate information.

Potential Privacy Violations : Demanding personal identification following an identity theft claim may violate my rights under CFPB and FTC regulations.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. 

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Complaint narrative:
Recent reports from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) indicate that Equifax has failed to properly investigate consumer disputes. A lawsuit has even been filed against Equifax for violating consumer protection laws by not complying with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Under federal law ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), Equifax is required to thoroughly reinvestigate disputed items within 30 days and remove any information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. Ignoring this obligation is a direct violation of my rights. 

I am disputing the following negative items, which I strongly believe may be linked to a data breach : XXXX XXXX - XXXX - {$530.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX - {$2100.00} I have already provided supporting documentation multiple times, yet these errors persist. The lack of corrective action has caused me financial harm and unnecessary distress. 

I have a legal right to an accurate credit report, and I expect these items to be properly investigated and removed immediately.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received a tax-year XXXX form 1099-K from Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) reporting that I had received more than {$6000.00} in Cash App payments. The 1099-K was addressed to me, at my address, and included the correct last 4 digits of my SSN. 

I do not have, and I have never had a Cash App account. 

I reported identity theft to Cash App on XX/XX/XXXX, and provided them details including a copy of the 1099-K. In a subsequent request for status via email on XX/XX/XXXX I also requested that the fraudulent account be closed and reported to authorities, that a corrected 1099-K be issued, and for Cash App to provide me documentation of these steps. 

I also reported identity theft to my local police on XX/XX/XXXX, and to the FTC on XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  I received an email from Cash App indicating that I should " Contact local law enforcement and have agents submit a request for information ''. 

Since I had already reported this to the local police I'm not sure what steps they wish me to take. Hence this seems like an effort to avoid dealing with the problem.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have multiple accounts with Citi, including regular credit cards and store specific cards. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent multiple checks via XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to Citi. Each check had the intended account in the memo line. The checks for my Citi credit card accounts were sent in one package and the check for my Best Buy Citi card was sent in a seperate package. On XX/XX/XXXX the payments were recieved and applied. However, 2 checks were applied to my Citi Simplicity account, one of which was intended for the Best Buy card, again, noted on the check. Each check was intended to pay the associated account in full. I was unsuccessful in efforts to resolve this, contacting both Citi and myBestBuy independantly. Even though Citi is the bank for Best Buy, they apparently opperate seperately. On XX/XX/XXXX I filed a Payment Dispute with myBestBuy which was later closed on XX/XX/XXXX without resolution. All the while, I sat with a balance of ( {$10000.00} ) on my Citi Simplicity card. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent yet another payment dispute to Citi. I never heard back from them in regards to the misallocation. On XX/XX/XXXX I got notice that a check was mailed to me, and on XX/XX/XXXX I finally recieved a check in the mail from Citi for the negative balance owed to me. However, I was hit with massive amounts of late fees and interest on myBestBuy card, showing a large past due balance on my credit reports. I was successfully able to resolve the interest and late fees with Best Buy and paid the account in full. However, as a result of the missalocation of my payment and lack of action on Citi to resolve this, my credit is severly impacted. During this period, I attempted to finance home improvement work and was turned down by that bank due to negative factors stemming from this Citi issue. I would like any negative credit impacts related to Citi and myBestBuy to be removed from my credit report so that this does not appear in any future credit inquiries.
