Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
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. ''

Complaint narrative:
This is my final notice regarding your ongoing noncompliance with federal credit reporting laws. I previously disputed the accuracy and legitimacy of several items on my credit report, yet your agency has failed to act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Your violations include : Failure to validate the debt as required under 15 USC 1692g ( Section 809 ( b ) ). 
Continuing communication after a certified cease-and-desist request, violating 15 USC 1692c ( Section 805 ( c ) ). 
Harassment under 15 USC 1692d ( Section 806 ). 
Recently, I received notice that your investigation was complete, but the disputed accounts remain on my credit report. These accounts are not only inaccurate but were never authorized by me. No valid contract exists, and I have not provided any written consent for the reporting of these accounts, as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681b. 

I demand that the following items be deleted immediately from my credit report :

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Against Santander Consumer USA for Unlawful Repossession and Assault Incident To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this formal complaint regarding a deeply troubling incident that occurred on XX/XX/year>, involving an unlawful repossession by Santander Consumer USA. During this incident, a tow truck driver, acting on behalf of Santander, entered my property and assaulted me in my own backyard in front of my XXXX XXXX XXXX son. I was assaulted on my own property by a tow truck driver, XXXX XXXX. Following the assault, XXXX XXXX made a false report to the police, accusing me of assaulting him a blatant lie aimed at covering his own actions. XXXX XXXX has a history of violent behavior and currently has an active warrant for his arrest for prior assaults. It is deeply concerning that I am now facing charges based on false statements made by someone with a documented history of aggression and criminal behavior. This violent and traumatic encounter has caused me significant emotional distress and left me feeling unsafe on my own property. 
Following this assault, I have made numerous attempts to contact Santander to address this matter. However, over the past XXXX months, my emails and calls have been ignored or met with vague, noncommittal responses. The lack of professionalism and communication from both parties has been unacceptable. 
As a consumer, I have the right to be treated with dignity, respect, and transparency. Instead, I have been met with silence, delays, and evasive tactics that have only exacerbated my frustration and sense of injustice. 
I am demanding immediate accountability from Santander for the assault I endured and for the unlawful repossession of my vehicle. Their failure to provide a timely and satisfactory response demonstrates a complete disregard for my rights and the law. 
I respectfully urge the CFPB to investigate this matter thoroughly and take swift action to ensure that Santander and their representatives are held accountable for their misconduct. No consumer should have to endure such treatment, and I am determined to see that justice is served. 
Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response and to a resolution that reflects fairness and accountability. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
After filing my initial complaint here regarding the absolutely exorbitant deferred interest on promotional balances, I lost the ability to see all of my promotional balances through any web browser on multiple devices. I have made 4 calls regarding this, been transferred to their tech support, told a ticket was placed and not a single response or resolution has been made. The only way now for me to see my promotional balances is to log into a computer to view statements that only populate once per month. I can no longer anticipate or review deferred interest, allocate payments above the minimum due, or see what the remaining balances are. It's making it nearly impossible to effectively review, use, and pay my credit balances and it only started after my complaint here. I have to call every time I pay to allocate payments. The last person I spoke to said she could see everything just fine on her end, which makes me feel that this is a targeted attack on me personally when this information is unavailable through any means to me. I used to love Best Buy before this nightmare.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I bought 4 bar stools through XXXX on XX/XX/year> using my Apple Card. The barstools not only arrived in the wrong color but also arrived broken. I contacted XXXX for a refund but the merchant said that in order to get a refund, I would have to pay for the return shipping. I refused to pay for return shipping because the return shipping for 4 large items from NY to XXXX would have been very expensive. The fault was on the merchant because they sent the wrong color and the items were broken and seemingly not effectively packed to prevent damage. I opened a dispute with XXXX and XXXX reached a final decision that the merchant would have to pay for the return shipping but the merchant still refused to do so. 

Given that XXXX was not willing or able to refund me for my purchase I opened a dispute through my Apple Card. The Goldman Sachs reps for the Apple Card have continually sided with XXXX when it came to my dispute despite providing screenshots of the order I placed, screenshots of XXXX XXXX stating that the merchant must pay the return shipping fee, pictures of the broken chairs in the wrong color, and screenshots of my chat history with the merchant. The apple card disputes always results in " there is no evidence to substantiate the claim ''. When I reach out to Goldman Sachs reps and ask what specific evidence do they need for me to prove my claim, they ask for the same documents I've already sent. I've been disputing and redisputing this claim for more than a year.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX has been exposing my personal medical information. 
Medical information is supposed to be private, and I didnt give permission for this debt to be shared. By putting it on my credit report, they exposing sensitive information without my consent. This feels like a clear violation of my rights. 
On top of that, the debt has been damaging my credit score, which is making it harder for me to get loans or other opportunities I need. I recently learned that new laws are being put in place to stop companies from reporting certain medical debts, especially when theyre disputed or shared improperly. I think what this company is doing goes against those laws. 

Im asking the CFPB to look into this situation and make sure XXXX XXXX XXXX and the XXXX credit bureaus are following the rules. I also want this debt taken off my credit report as soon as possible.
