Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute certain negative entries currently listed on my credit report. Despite multiple requests and the submission of all necessary supporting documents, these inaccuracies have not been properly addressed. My repeated follow-ups have been met with little to no action, and the continued presence of these errors has caused significant financial and emotional stress. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to an accurate and verifiable credit report. I am requesting that you take immediate and thorough steps to investigate and correct these items. Failure to resolve them in a timely manner would constitute a violation of my rights under federal law.

Company: Wave Financial USA Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I received a client payment through Wave ( Wave Financial ) over XXXX days ago, and the funds are still being held in my Wave account under On Hold status. A Wave support representative previously told me the funds would be released by today, but that has not happened. 

I have completed all necessary verifications, which they did not send me until XXXX  days after the payment and still nothing. This delay has severely impacted my ability to run my business. There are no fraud flags or known disputes on the transaction. 

Wave is withholding access to funds that are legally mine, without sufficient communication or due process. I am requesting immediate release of the funds or a written explanation from Waves risk/compliance team that details the legal basis for the hold. Their lack of transparency is unacceptable for a business-facing payment processor. 

This is a fraudulent company and I will be suing them.

This letter serves as a formal demand for immediate correction and removal of certain items from my credit report due to violations of my federally protected rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The following accounts have blatantly breached my rights to privacy and confidentiality, as outlined under 15 U.S.C. 1681, and I will not tolerate these illegal actions.

Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681, Section 602 ( A ) : I am entitled to privacy, and these accounts are infringing on that right.

Company: Harris & Harris, Ltd.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
I was a resident of XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX during the 2024 Hurricane Season. Our home was hit by both Helene and Milton.

After Helene, our XXXX internet service was out, so I called XXXX. Their service was active in the area and said they could install that week. This was beginning of XXXX. 

When the technician came to install, he installed the equipment in the wrong apartment- refused to move it repeatedly telling me " Its OK ''. English was not his first language it seemed and he did not understand me. He left, I called frontier and told them what happened and they offered to come and relocate the equipment, but it would take XXXX weeks. 

When the technician arrived to relocate the equipment, he said he wasnt paid to do that and the best he can do is run a fiber optic cable THROUGH MY WINDOW. I told him no thank you and he left. I called and cancelled the service. 

A month later they called me about a termination fee. I explained that service was never active in my residence in order for it to be terminated, and moreover i cancelled the contract within XXXX days of its inception. They agreed and offered me a {$93.00} credit. 

For XXXX months i received weekly text messages about the credit being in progress, then they stopped. 

Sometime in XXXX I was contacted by some collection agency, I explained the situation and advised them of my dispute. I requested validation of debt and none was ever provided to me. I have been working to rebuild my credit over the last year, paying off over $ XXXX in debt, and this agency has now reported this disputed account to all three credit bureaus- completely deflating all of my momentum towards recovering my credit. 

The XXXX XXXX reporting is Harris & Harris. the balance is {$100.00} - which is also incorrect. The amount XXXX has is {$91.00}. Moreover from that, the Phone number they've used to report the account to the credit bureau ( XXXX ) IS DISCONNECTED.

Complaint narrative:
This is about Experian, they froze my credit for whatever reason. I never received a PIN from them. When I tried to get a loan for a mortgage they were unable to pull my credit from Experian. It is impossible to get ahold of a human when you call Experian. Online if you try to reset your pin, you put in your phone number and social, the system tells you to enter the code you were texted. Yet you never receive the code because when your report is frozen they also freeze the messages sent to your cell phone. There is no way to talk to anyone at Experian. From what Ive found online the only other way to unfreeze my report is to physically mail documents like a passport and bank statement to their PO Box which seems outdated and insane.
