Complaint narrative:
I AM FORMALLY REQUESTING THE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL OF THE FRAUDULENT ACCOUNTS CURRENTLY LISTED ON MY CREDIT REPORT. I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THESE ACCOUNTS, AND THEIR INCLUSION IS A SERIOUS BREACH OF MY PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL SECURITY. THESE ENTRIES ARE FALSE AND INACCURATE, YET DESPITE MONTHS OF DISPUTING THEM AND PROVIDING SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING AN FTC REPORT, THEY STILL HAVE NOT BEEN REMOVED. THEIR CONTINUED PRESENCE RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS AS TO WHY THEY REMAIN ON MY REPORT, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT ( FCRA ) TO MAINTAIN ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS. I URGE YOU TO TAKE IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION BY PERMANENTLY DELETING THESE ACCOUNTS FROM MY REPORT WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with the interest rate
Company: Lendbuzz Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I obtained a vehicle loan from Lendbuzz Funding LLC on XX/XX/year>, for a XXXX  XXXX XXXX, while residing in XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 

The contract applies an APR of 17.78 %, which is significantly higher than average market rates for similar new vehicle loans. Additionally, the company required me to purchase XXXX mandatory add-on products ( XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX ) as conditions for approval. These products increased the total cost of credit unfairly and were presented as required even though they should have been optional. 

The contract also lacks transparency regarding how the interest and finance charges were calculated. Despite my requests, the company never provided a clear breakdown of principal, interest, and fees. This violates the disclosure requirements of the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) and constitutes an unfair and deceptive lending practice ( UDAP ). 

I have already paid {$5800.00} as a down payment and 11 monthly installments of {$720.00} each ( totaling {$13000.00} ). I am requesting that the CFPB review this case and determine whether the contract should be terminated due to abusive and excessive charges. 

However, in good faith, if the Bureau determines that a balance remains legitimate, I am willing to settle the account by paying {$10000.00} USD as a fair and full payoff amount to close the loan in good standing. 

I ask that all communications be handled through the CFPB, as I do not authorize direct negotiation with the company. My goal is to ensure a fair, transparent, and lawful resolution under federal consumer protection standards.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over XXXX  days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within XXXX  days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than XXXX  days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - XXXXVERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court XXXX XXXX  XXXX that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding a collection account being reported by Portfolio Recovery Associates. I do not have, nor have I ever had, any account or debt directly with this company. 

This collection entry appears to be inaccurate and unverifiable, and its presence is negatively impacting my credit profile. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), debt collectors and data furnishers are required to ensure that all information reported about a consumer is accurate, complete, and fully verifiable. Reporting an account that can not be substantiated violates these federal obligations. 

Because there is no evidence of any valid debt between myself and Portfolio Recovery Associates, I am requesting that this collection entry be removed from all credit reports maintained by XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX  to correct this inaccuracy. 

Thank you for your time and assistance in resolving this matter.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I recently obtained my credit report and found information that is inaccurate and harmful to my credit history. Specifically, my credit file contains an account ( XXXX, Account Number XXXX XXXXXXXX ) that I never authorized to be reported, nor did I give my consent for it to be furnished to any credit reporting agency. 
At no time did I provide written authorization, verifiable electronic consent, or any other form of permission allowing this information to be included in my credit file. 

LEGAL VIOLATIONS : FCRA Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Lack of permissible purpose. 
A consumers credit file may only contain information obtained for a permissible purpose, which generally requires the consumers express consent. The inclusion of this account and the related inquiries in my filewithout documented proof of my consentconstitutes a direct violation of this section and represents the unauthorized use and disclosure of my non-public personal information. 

FCRA Section 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) Blocking disputed information. 
When a consumer submits a report to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) or local law enforcement identifying disputed items, the credit reporting agency must block that information within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. I submitted such a report ( Police Report Case XXXX XXXXXXXX ), which clearly identifies the disputed items. Despite this, TransUnion continues to report the account and the inquiries, causing ongoing harm. 

FCRA Section 607 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) Maximum possible accuracy. 
TransUnion has failed to maintain only accurate, verifiable, and complete information. The lack of verifiable documentation from the furnisher or the agency demonstrates that this legal standard has not been met. 

PERSONAL IMPACT : I have been denied for legitimate credit applications due to this unauthorized account. 

When approved for credit, I am forced to pay significantly higher interest rates. 

I was recently denied rental housing because of this negative information. 

My insurance premiums are higher due to credit-based pricing. 

This has caused ongoing financial stress, frustration, and embarrassment.
