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 on my XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. 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.

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and and inaccurate information. 

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

Complaint narrative:
I have noticed several items on my credit report that I do not recognize. It appears that someone may have stolen my identity, as I did not authorize these accounts.

They do not accurately reflect my credit history or financial management, and dealing with this issue has been challenging. If this matter is not resolved, I am prepared to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution.

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my credit report, I discovered several unauthorized hard inquiries that I do not recognize. I reached out to the credit bureaus to dispute these inquiries and have them removed. However, my request was denied, and the inquiries remain on my report. This situation is causing significant stress and negatively affecting my financial standing and reputation.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I unfortunately was unemployed for an extended period of time. Due to this circumstance, I fell behind on my payments on a XXXX XXXX store credit card serviced by CBNA XXXX Citi. I spoke to a representative that offered me a plan that closed the account, gave me a lower/fixed interest rate and had a fixed monthly payment of $ XXXX. The representative confirmed that all late charges/any other fees on the account would be waived, my payments would begin XX/XX/XXXX, and my account would be brought current. I explicitly asked if the past due amount would still show on my credit report, or if my account would be brought current. I was told it would be brought current. This year on multiple occasions, I received notifications from XXXX and XXXX that my XXXX XXXX account was past due despite me meeting my agreed-to minimum payment of $ XXXX. I disputed this information with the credit bureaus, and was told the information would not change as it was verified by the creditor as accurate. I called Citi customer service today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) to explain the situation, and was told my account has shown as current for the last XXXX months, but they will continue to report it as past due in the first quarter of XXXX ( AFTER my payment arrangement began ) due to my past-due balance not being satisfied by the $ XXXX minimum payment. I was told this was company policy, and there was " nothing they could do '' to change it. I explained that I was led to understand that my $ XXXX payment arrangement would lead to a current account, and I was told the " program is designed to help get you back on track, not to help with credit worthiness ''. I informed them that I wouldn't have agreed to the arrangement had I know my credit would continue to be hit for the next XXXX months, but the policy was just repeated to me. I also informed them that XXXX DOES show my account as current/in good standing with XXXX lates since XX/XX/XXXX, but the other XXXX bureaus have completely different information. I was told the same information is given to all bureaus and that despite my understanding of the agreement the account will continue to report as late after XX/XX/XXXX. I asked for a copy of a signed agreement, I was told none exists, the agreement was verbal and there are " training forms '' read aloud when arrangements are agreed to. I asked for a copy of that information and was told that it could not be sent to me, but I could write a letter to see if someone else at the company could provide it.

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "
