Complaint narrative:
DO NOT send me any stall letters to delay or misdirect this investigation this complaint is authorized BY ME. I am formally disputing the inaccurate, unverifiable, and unauthorized information currently being reported on my credit file, which has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and violated my consumer rights under federal law. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., I am demanding a full and reasonable reinvestigation into all derogatory accounts, personal data errors, and hard inquiries. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), the credit bureaus are required to investigate disputed information, and I demand strict compliance with this statute, including the Method of Verification ( MOV ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ). For each item in question, I am requesting original source documentation specifically a signed contract bearing my signature, a complete account history, proof of permissible purpose under 15 U.S.C. 1681b, and all communications between the credit bureau and the furnisher of the information. As a victim of the Equifax Data Breach and TransUnion Data Incident, my personal information has been found on the dark web, raising serious concerns about identity theft and misuse. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has taken action against Equifax for improper handling of consumer disputes, and I have every reason to question the legitimacy and accuracy of the data currently being reported. I am scared and extremely worried because I do not know who has my information or how its being used. This is why yall keep getting sued by consumers like me because you continue to overlook clear violations and fail to properly investigate disputed data. If you are unable to provide verified, legally admissible documentation for each disputed item, you are required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) to delete the information immediately. Noncompliance will be viewed as a willful violation of the FCRA under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, and I am fully prepared to escalate this matter with formal complaints to the CFPB, FTC, and my State Attorney General. I expect a complete, legally compliant response within 30 days, as required by law. Attached are copies of my drivers license, social security card, and proof of address for identity verification. DO NOT add any fraud alerts. DO NOT add any personal statements to my credit profile. Please read this letter in its entirety before responding.

Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Money order, traveler's check or cashier's check
Issue: Confusing or missing disclosures — 
Company: WESTERN UNION COMPANY, THE
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I purchased XXXX {$1000.00} Western Union money orders from XXXX in XXXX, Ohio. I bought them specifically for mobile deposit into my XXXX account, and I told the cashier that was the reason I was buying them. At no point was I told that mobile deposit was prohibited. That restriction only appears in small print on the money order itself, and I did not see it until I was at home about to endorse it. If this restriction had been disclosed before purchase, I would not have bought them. 

After discovering the mobile deposit ban, I attempted to cash the money orders. XXXX refused to cash or refund the money orders they sold me. USPS would not cash them because they were not postal money orders. XXXX would not cash them because they were issued by another store. Western Unions customer support repeatedly directed me back to the same XXXX and XXXX locations that had already refused them, and provided no actual solution. 

With my bank located in Texas, my only option would be mailing the money orders for deposit, which would take more than a week. That defeats the entire purpose of paying fees for a cash equivalent financial instrument. 

I now have {$2000.00} tied up in money orders that I can not cash, can not deposit, can not refund without penalty fees, and can not use for their intended purpose. Western Union and XXXX failed to disclose critical restrictions before purchase, and neither organization will honor or support the instruments they issued. 

I have receipts for both money orders and they are still unused.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: SC

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.

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern I am filing this complaint because several charge-off accounts are being reported on my credit file even though I have no knowledge of these accounts. I have disputed these items multiple times but the credit bureaus and furnishers failed to provide any contracts, applications, signatures, or proof. Under the FCRA they must verify information with actual documentation, and without proof these accounts can not legally remain. These unverified accounts are harming my credit and violating my rights. I am requesting the CFPB to require full documentation or deletion of all items below. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MI XXXX Address I have never lived at or used this address. No valid documentation has been provided under FCRA 609 or 611. This address must be removed.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved.
