Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint to the credit bureaus over a month ago, yet the incorrect information on my report remains unchanged. I have not received any updates from the bureaus, aside from your notification indicating that the company has addressed my complaint. How can I be assured that they have thoroughly investigated the inaccuracies? What verification methods were utilized to assess the accounts? This situation is extremely frustrating. More than XXXX  days have passed since my complaint, and the disputed accounts are still not updated. If this persists, I will be compelled to pursue legal action due to the significant stress it has caused me. Additionally, I am worried about the security of my personal information, especially in light of the data breach involving XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my complaints regarding Zelles handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that the reversing of lost funds was impossible in that tracking these transactions were not feasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed to repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report.

Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation.

This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Complaint narrative:
During the pandemic my credit limits were all dropped ( 3 ) without proper notification. I had been a Citi member since XXXX  with a perfect score of XXXX. I had NEVER missed a payment or was never late. In one day the devastated my credit scores. Six months after that they did it again but that time they provided notice. I had complained to them about not being notified the original time and they stated they had notified me. I asked them to resend the notification, and they never have. I asked them again today. In retaliation I did not pay for a time and then realized I was only hurting myself. Recently, due to the hardship this is causing me ( I can't rent a home ) I decided I must bring my late payments current. This was after considering debt consolidation and bankruptcy. The debt was mine and I must pay it. I worked out with them to close two of the cards and they agreed to leave one open. It had a balance of approximately {$2800.00}. I used it infrequently. I have been told to pay my debt down to raise my utilization ratios. I sent {$1000.00} in and they dropped my limit again which leaves in the same place. Maxed out. These companies can destroy someone in a day with no notice. I say NO. Please help me work this out.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent.

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.
