The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has already documented XXXX repeated failures to properly investigate consumer disputes, leading to legal action for violations of the FCRA. This repeated pattern of noncompliance is unacceptable, and I will not allow my credit profile to be a casualty of XXXX negligence.

Continued noncompliance and any further delay in addressing these issues will not go unnoticed.

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. ''

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers. 

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Complaint narrative:
I have noticed several items on my credit report that I do not recognize. It appears that someone may have stolen my identity, as I did not authorize these accounts. I have previously raised this issue, and I am now requesting that these accounts be removed from my report immediately. The presence of these unauthorized accounts is causing me significant distress. They do not accurately reflect my credit history or financial management, and dealing with this issue has been challenging. If this matter is not resolved, I am prepared to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution. These erroneous items on my credit report are significantly impacting my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and supporting my family. I hope we can resolve this issue promptly.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I reached out to American Express in XXXX of 2024 asking them if a tax payment would qualify for signup bonuses and points multipliers and I was told yes as this is a payment that's due. 

I then applied for the business gold card via a link within my account page for $ XXXX bonus if I spend {$15000.00}. Using the information from Amex I would use the card for my taxes that are due as a payment. 

Was approved for the card with the bonus added and paid taxes in early XXXX over {$15000.00}. 
I then contacted Amex chat asking them when I would expect to see the bonus and was told taxes don't qualify for the minimum spend, which is absurd. This is a payment, my card is charged just as with any other purchase and furthermore I am charged a fee for the payment on top of this.

I argued with the chat rep and he created a case 90fbef. I was told to wait 2 weeks to hear back, but the chances are low I will get a response. 

The terms Amex offered are so vague they can pick and chose what they want to cover or not, which is very unprofessional and non-consumer focused. 

I ask that Amex consider these transactions as normal spend as they should and told me I would receive and provide me with the promised signup bonus.

Complaint narrative:
My information has been illegally accessed by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX employees. My right to privacy has been violated. Also, when I borrowed these loans for school I had to fill out lots of paperwork. Part of that paperwork was online counseling about repaying the loans. One of the options given to us as we applied for and signed for these loans was an income based repayment plan which has now been cancelled and no alternative has been offered. Income based repayment plans offered forgiveness after so many years of paying on time and now that promise has also been cancelled. I believe these actions by the current administration, XXXX and it's employees and XXXX XXXX is a contractual violation and I should no longer be required to fulfill my part of this contract. They have broken the promissory note and violated my rights.
