Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the three major credit bureausXXXX Equifax, and XXXXfor ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with XXXX XXXX Format and XXXX industry standards. 

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ). 

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court. 

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information XXXX XXXX and XXXX  Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency may not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation.

I would like to assert that no permissible purpose under 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) has been established and under the Fair Credit Reporting Act this must be established.

15 U.S.C 6802 ( a ) A financial institution may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose to a non affiliated third party any nonpublic personal information. 15 U.S.C 6802 ( b ) ( 1 ) A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless ( A ) such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party ; ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party ; and ( C ) the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option.

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 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 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter stating I owed a debt on this Home Depot account. I called the attorney 's representing Home Depot ( XXXX and XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX to clear it up after consulting with a clerk at our courthouse that same day. The clerk at the courthouse thought it was most likely a common name issue, and a simple phone call would clear it all up. I gave the attorney my personal information after they requested. ( I regret this now ) The attorney or their staff told me that my DOB and SS # were not a match and that they would continue to investigate and report as fraud. Up to this point I don't believe this account was on my credit report even though the account was opened in XXXX and apparently not a single payment had been made. My credit is spotless, and I make all my payments on time. However, after I gave the attorney my personal information then the report was given to the credit reporting agencies and showed up on my credit report! I have spoken with the credit reporting agencies, I have sent packets of documents showing my address, place of employment, pay stubs, DL 's, W-2 's, etc. dating back to before this account was opened to clear it up but I still have a court date. My husband and I have to miss work to take care of this. This should have been dropped long ago. The credit reporting agencies ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX only compare what I tell them with what Home Depot or their attorneys tell them. This could hardly be considered an investigation. I have never lived in XXXX, Florida. I have never had a Home Depot Account, and I believe if they would provide the original application this would all be resolved because my signature would not match and all the personal information would be different. The rebuttal system seems to be broken. I have spent countless hours and sleepless nights because of someone else 's dishonest activities ( XXXX and XXXX ). This does not appear to be identity theft because the original applicants name, address, DOB, and SS # do not match mine according to the paperwork I have and the attorneys involved. It looks like the attorney 's took my information I supplied them and are now using it to associate me to this account.

Company: ROBINHOOD MARKETS INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I deposited {$22000.00} from a XXXX XXXX XXXX account into Robinhood on XX/XX/XXXX to use for option trading. On XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to withdraw a portion of the funds back to my personal XXXX XXXX XXXX account. The transaction failed, so I attempted once again to send the funds to another linked and verified account, my checking account. This also failed, and I was subsequently told my Robinhood account was restricted and could not transfer any money in our out until review dates. At first, it was XX/XX/XXXX, which was then pushed back several days when I re-opened the app. Eventually, they asked for verification documents to prove there is no fraud and to unlock my account. I then sent the required documents before the due date stated on the app ( including a moving selfie of my face, the front and back of my driver 's license, and a bank statement ). I was then informed that my account will be closed, despite verification of my identity. I was never informed as to why the verification failed and why my account was closing. I was then informed that my funds would be returned to the " originating source '' within 120 days ( after several more days and a few emails ). I responded to this email asking for reason of closure, and also to state that the " originating source '' ( the high yield savings account that the funds came from ) has since been closed because I was no longer using it, and that my funds should be sent to my checking account ( which is linked and verified on their end, and has been linked to my account since XXXX ). In response, I have only been met with generic and seemingly XXXX responses that do not even acknowledge my questions or requests.
