Complaint narrative:
The reported late payments and charge-off accounts are inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable. The furnishers have failed to provide original, documented proof that these alleged delinquencies occurred. Without legally required validation, continued reporting of this negative information is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Reporting unverifiable derogatory information damages my credit standing and reflects negligent and unlawful reporting practices.

Complaint narrative:
Despite repeated attempts to resolve these matters, Experian continues to allow damaging inaccuracies to persist on my credit profile. These unresolved errors are more than just frustratingthey are unjust, and they are actively interfering with my ability to move forward financially. 
time I apply for a loan, a credit card, or any financial opportunity, these incorrect entries stand as barriers that I shouldnt have to face. It is unacceptable that after multiple disputes, you still havent taken the appropriate steps to ensure your data is correct. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you are legally required to verify every single reported item with original, legitimate documentation. If you can not confirm the accuracy of these records with credible, dated evidence, then these entries have no place on my report and must be removed immediately. I am demanding that you conduct a thorough reinvestigationnot a generic response, not a rubber-stamped review, but a meaningful audit backed by proper documentation. Continued delays and inaction will be treated as a deliberate and unlawful disregard of your obligations under federal law. Ive been more than patient, but my patience has run out.

State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

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

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. ''

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
In early XXXX, I " enrolled '' in a Citi Merchant Offer for 2.5 % back at XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a purchase at XXXX XXXX for {$260.00}. I kept checking back to see if the cashback had posted, and took a screenshot in early XXXX when it occurred to me that I might need proof of the offer. Some time around XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed that the offer had disappeared from my account, but that it had not moved to redeemed, and the credit had not posted. I'm not sure why Citi didn't credit me for the offer, but I believe that the offer expired from my account after 45 days, as the terms on many of the offers indicate that offers expire 45 days after enrollment even if the offer expiry date is later. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke to a Citi rep via chat. They indicated that they had no record of the offer existing in my account, and refused my repeated offers to send them a screenshot as proof. The rep said that he would " take a note on it, and take it as feedback. '' When I pressed, he said that no one would be contacting me to resolve the issue. I'm so ready to cancel my card, but I'd really like the credit Citi promised ( as well as the supposedly pending credit for their Citi Shop Day scam ).
