Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Unauthorized access to my credit report by multiple companies has directly harmed both my credit profile and my credit score. I previously contacted your agency and was assured by a representative that these unauthorized inquiries would be removed. That assurance has not been honored, as the inquiries remain. This lack of action is unacceptable. The continued reporting of these unauthorized and potentially fraudulent entries raises serious concerns of identity theft. 

This matter has already caused me significant emotional distress and financial harm, and allowing these inaccuracies to persist only worsens the damage.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the late payment entries on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to have these errors reviewed and corrected, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all necessary documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the inaccuracies remain unresolved. 
These ongoing issues have caused financial hardship and negatively impacted both my credit and overall well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been frustrating and emotionally taxing. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history, including the correction or removal of outdated, incorrect, or unverifiable information. I am therefore requesting that your office take immediate action to update or remove the disputed late payment entries.

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:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law. ''

Company: Netspend Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
We have XXXX cards issued to us by XXXX. Neither card has been out of our possessoin. I have both cards sitting on my desk. At no time were the cards used anywhere but at XXXX. 
On XXXX XXXX there were XXXX charges from out of the country. All three charges were in a pending status. I immediately called to say that there were XXXX charges that were not mine. 
XXXX responded by sending an email saying I had lost my cards and cancelling them and then proceeded to tell me that they could not do anything until the charges, currently pending, were complete. At that point I could submit a dispute. 
Given no other choice I watched until the XXXX of XXXX at which time the money that was in pending had apparently been disbursed to the thieves. In addition I was assessed an out of the country fee for the XXXX charges. 
I disputed the XXXX charges and then called to verify that they were correctly disputed. 
The information I was given was that they would investigate and get back to me in no more than 90 days, unless they want to take longer. 
The amount that was stolen from my account is {$200.00}. The amount XXXX charged me for the priviledge of having my money stolen was {$8.00}. Now that my account is closed I also have lost access to the {$16.00} remaining in the account. 
This is entirely due to a security breach at XXXX or at the service that manages their cards. Since we have our cards and they have never been used anywhere than XXXX it is in no way our fault.
