Consumer complaint received 2025-10-23 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off.

Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score. Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper. 

I request an immediate investigation into this matter and the correction of my credit report by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Equifax Information Services LLC regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ). Despite clear legal notice, Equifax Information Services LLC continues to willfully report inaccurate data in violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), 1681i, and FDCPA 1692e and 1692f. I have exhausted all attempts to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau. I now request the CFPB to investigate and enforce compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Flare Ace handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Flare Ace numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Flare Ace failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was infeasible. The CFPBS findings indicate that Flare Ace 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.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the inaccurate personal information currently appearing on my credit file. Specifically, I have never legally gone by the listed aliases, nor do I currently or previously reside at the reported addresses. 

The inclusion of these erroneous names and addresses violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires credit reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. This misinformation creates a significant risk of identity confusion and negatively impacts my ability to obtain credit under fair and accurate conditions. 

The presence of these inaccurate entries also raises concerns regarding data mishandling, particularly in the wake of recent national data breaches. Despite prior attempts to correct this information, the inaccurate aliases and addresses remain on my file, even though they have no connection to me. 

I am requesting immediate removal of these erroneous aliases and addresses. If the credit reporting agency believes this information is valid, I demand sufficient legal documentation directly linking me to these names and addresses. Otherwise, they must be deleted from my credit report without delay.

Finally, I request written confirmation once the correction has been made, along with an updated copy of my credit report reflecting the accurate information.

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.

I am submitting this complaint against Experian., Equifax , and TransUnion for their continued unlawful reporting of multiple charge-off accounts that I dispute. The tradelines in question are : XXXX Account # XXXX ( reported from XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX Account # XXXX ( reported from XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX Account # XXXX ( reported from XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX ( reported from XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ) Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) and 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies must conduct meaningful reinvestigations and use reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy. The bureaus have submitted these tradelines without providing any valid method of verification. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has clearly stated that companies must delete any disputed information they can not verify. In Roberts v. Carter-Young Inc.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was approved for a Capital One XXXX credit card on * * XX/XX/year> * *. I received the physical card in the mail shortly after. 

It is now * * XX/XX/year> ( 37 days later ) * *, and I have been unable to activate or use my card. The account has been locked due to a " security/verification hold '' for this entire period. 

I have called customer service dozens of times. I have submitted all requested documents ( proof of identity, proof of address, and proof of income ) multiple times as instructed by Capital One representatives. Each time, my documents were either rejected without specific reasons, or I was told to wait. My most recent submission was on XX/XX/year>, and I have received no feedback for over 16 days. 

Despite complying with all requests, my account remains locked. Customer service representatives repeatedly state they have no authority to fix this and that I must wait for a call from the " back-office verification department, '' a call which has never come. 

This 37-day unreasonable delay is causing me direct harm. My 90-day sign-up bonus window is wasting away. * * I have already lost 37 days of this 90-day period * *, making it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to meet the spending requirements through no fault of my own. 

I demand an immediate review and activation of my account.

I have met these requirements however they insist I did not add the promotion to my account when in fact there was no option of doing so. This is what they told me on the phone. There was no check box or anything like that when opening the account. I clicked on the link that was even offering this bonus. 

They sent me a letter saying they can not honor the bonus and asking me to provide evidence of the bonus! They offer this bonus all year round.
