In XX/XX/XXXX I took out a payday loan in the amount of {$1500.00} from Explore Credit. XXXX I revoked the rights for XXXX payments.

Complaint narrative:
TD Bank, Target Credit Card refuses to report correct balance to Credit Reporting Agencies. I have warned Target Customer Service that they are ruining my credit score because they refuse to report the correct balance on time each month. Currently the entire balance has been paid off as of XX/XX/2023, and I filed a dispute twice with XXXX, and Target responded lying and stating that I owed them {$130.00}. I can prove with my bank statement that I paid the account off. It is very important that credit card companies submit the correct information each month to the credit reporting agencies. 
My credit score is low and I should have excellent credit with a much higher score over XXXX. I am now canceling the Target account after XXXX years of trying to improve my credit score and they continue to lie to the credit agencies. My next step is to file a lawsuit against Target for violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

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: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Goldman Sachs Apple Credit Card & Apple Installment Sale : I received a {$10000.00} refund from XXXX XXXX University on XX/XX/XXXX. At the time of the refund, I had a {$4000.00} balance on my credit card from previous purchases. {$4000.00} of the refund was applied to my credit card balance. ( I am ok with this ) Separately, I also had two installment purchases from Apple, also through Goldman Sachs. Both installment sales were 12 month 0 % interest. The first installment sale was from XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) and had a balance of {$420.00} remaining. The second was from a XX/XX/XXXX for a XXXX XXXX and had a balance of {$3200.00} remaining. 

I spoke with Goldman Sachs on XX/XX/XXXX and requested a full refund and cash return for the {$10000.00}. I was originally told I would receive it. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I only received {$1700.00} credit reversal to may account. {$4000.00} was applied to my credit card ( I am not disputing this ) The remainder refund balance has been put on hold and will not be returned to me. I have spoke to Goldman Sachs on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

I have been told that because I have two installment balances, the excess from my XXXX XXXX University refund will be held for the remainder of the life of the installment sales and will be applied against my installment balances monthly. I have been told that this is in the credit card agreement. 

regardless if this is in the agreement, this is an unfair business practice! My refund from XXXX University was absolutely unrelated to the installment sales of the both apple products. As well, I used my card to pay XXXX XXXX University. And then promptly paid off the balance on my card from that transaction. 

I was told 5 times by the Goldman Sachs reps, Supervisors and Manager that they have had several complaints about this practice. 

I am seeking a refund of {$3700.00} from Goldman, which represents my remainder balance from Goldman Sachs {$10000.00} refund and equals the balance of the XXXX and XXXX XXXX installment balances. 

the number to reach Goldman Sachs is XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to bring to your attention a serious violation of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681m by the debt collection company, XXXX XXXX. I kindly request your assistance in addressing this violation and ensuring the immediate removal of the negative account they have reported on my credit report. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered that XXXX XXXX  has reported a negative account that does not belong to me. This inclusion of an inaccurate account on my credit report not only misrepresents my creditworthiness but also violates the provisions outlined in FACTA. Despite my repeated attempts to rectify this issue directly with XXXX XXXX, they have failed to take any appropriate action to correct their mistake. 

I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to conduct a thorough investigation into XXXX XXXX XXXX  violation of FACTA. Their failure to comply with the regulations outlined in the Act has significant repercussions on my financial well-being and undermines the accuracy and fairness of the credit reporting system. 

I kindly request your intervention to ensure XXXX XXXX XXXX compliance with FACTA and the immediate removal of the inaccurate account from my credit report. Additionally, I believe it is crucial to hold XXXX XXXX accountable for their non-compliance and to enforce the necessary penalties or corrective measures. 

Enclosed with this letter, please find copies of relevant documentation, including my credit report highlighting the disputed account, as well as any supporting evidence that demonstrates the lack of association between me and the reported account. I trust that this information will aid in your investigation and contribute to the resolution of this matter. 

I greatly appreciate your attention to this matter. It is my sincere hope that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take swift action to address this violation, restore the accuracy of my credit report, and safeguard the rights of consumers. I look forward to your assistance in resolving this dispute. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me if any further information or documentation is required.

How can Experian report false information like that.
