Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

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 " US BKPT CT XXXX XXXXXXXX AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX | United States Bankruptcy Court 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: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, while reviewing my credit report, I noticed a fraudulent collection account reported by LVNV Funding in the amount of {$610.00}, with the original creditor listed as Credit One Bank N.A. 

This account is not mine. It had already been removed back in XXXX after I filed disputes for identity theft. Despite that, on XX/XX/XXXX, LVNV Funding reinserted this same account without giving me any notice. That is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 605B, which requires credit bureaus and furnishers to block and permanently delete fraudulent accounts once they are reported. 

Right now, XXXX  is reporting it as a Collection/Chargeoff and marking it as disputed, but that is not enough. The law requires this account to be deleted and permanently blocked from reappearing. 

I am requesting that this account be immediately deleted from all credit reports, that LVNV Funding be investigated for re-reporting a fraudulent debt, and that steps be taken to make sure it never comes back again.

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.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2025, I submitted a payment to XXXX for {$100.00} to pay off my auto loan in full. The payment cleared my bank account on XX/XX/2025, and my XXXX account showed a {$0.00} balance. Despite this, on XX/XX/2025, XXXX reported my account as past due by {$100.00} to the credit bureaus, which is inaccurate. 

This false reporting caused my credit score to drop by XXXX points. I have documentation showing : Payment confirmation dated XX/XX/2025 Bank records showing the withdrawal on XX/XX/2025 XXXX account showing a {$0.00} balance after payment Reference # of proof of payment, which I have uploaded to this complaint Additionally, this loan was not even added to my account until approximately nine months after it was originated due to an error on XXXX part. Their delay and mishandling extended my loan unnecessarily and has now resulted in inaccurate reporting. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), furnishers must provide accurate and timely information to credit reporting agencies. Reporting my account as delinquent after it was paid in full combined with their earlier mistake of failing to add the loan to my account for nine months is both inaccurate and harmful. I am requesting that XXXX immediately correct this error with all credit bureaus and remove the false delinquency from my credit history.

Complaint narrative:
During XXXX and XXXX I requested a copy of my credit report from each of the credit bureaus ( Equifax, TransUnion, Experian and XXXX ). Upon examining the reports, I noticed some inaccuracies that needed to be addressed immediately. Specifically, XXXX had reported 2 bankruptcies to each of these credit bureaus without my consent. So, I contacted the 3 credit bureaus, but each refused to remove them. I wasn't sure how to handle the matter, so I did more research. 

I contacted the Bankruptcy XXXX XXXX and went to pick up 2 letters stating that they do not report any information to the credit bureaus. I will include them in this complaint.

Complaint narrative:
Sent to PayPal XXXX XXXX Withdrawal request to my bank account XXXX XXXX paid a extra {$25.00} for instant transfer The amount was {$4800.00} I called PayPal multiple of times On Friday XXXX XXXX when the transfer during the XXXX hour didnt go through I called PayPal and was informed that something was wrong with their system and should be back working before the day was over Still was in pending status over the weekend. 
Called again on Monday XXXX XXXX same problem was informed they was still working on it Called again Tuesday XXXX XXXX and did chat on their website the agent on the phone said they were still having problems but on their website chat it said the problem was resolved Called again Wednesday XXXX XXXX PayPal still claimed they were having the same issue and they were working on it and my payment should be in my bank account by Friday XXXX XXXX. I asked to speak to a supervisor the agent said they will call me back never got a phone call back. 
Called again XXXX XXXX they said they are having the same problem with no update when it will be fixed I finally was transferred to a supervisor but the supervisor gave me the same answer about their system that some accounts cant transfer their money to their bank account and I asked can they cancel the payment and send it back to my PayPal so I can at least be able to pay my bills from there and they said it wasnt giving them the option too. I then proceeded to transfer {$10.00} to my bank account and it went instantly thru with no trouble but my {$4000.00} is still pending. 
PayPal didnt inform anyone about the problem with their system when it first happened because if I would have known I would have never sent my money to PayPal to be instantly transferred to my bank account. 
They didnt give anyone any options to cancel in which would have been better than waiting over a week for their payment.
