Complaint narrative:
There are several inaccurate items appearing on my credit report that must be addressed without delay. Some contain incorrect information that doesnt match any of my records, others are completely unfamiliar, and several appear to have been added without any proper verification. This is a clear violation of the FCRA, which requires that all data on a credit report be 100 % accurate and verifiable through reliable documentation. 

To resolve this issue, I am demanding the immediate and permanent removal of all disputed information. If the data furnishers can not produce valid evidence confirming the accuracy of these entries, they have no legal right to remain on my file. I expect prompt action to correct these errors and restore the accuracy of my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
Erratic late payment history reporting statuses without clear validation. 

To include abrupt and inconsistent late payment status progression over consecutive months, suggesting a failure to report a complete and continuous payment history, an astronomical amount of ND ( no data entries ), and XXXX days entries without supporting historical data. 

Unclear or unverifiable context leading up to major derogatory payment history reporting. 

These discrepancies raise concerns about the accuracy, integrity, and completeness of the reported data. FCRA 607 ( b ) requires that consumer reporting agencies maintain maximum possible accuracy, and fragmented or partially reported payment history does not meet that standard.

To justify reporting these payments as late, they must provide proof of compliance with the following : 1. Proof of Compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) : I request documentation showing that the periodic statement, containing all required information, was mailed or delivered to me at least 21 days before the payment due date.

2.Detailed Documentation : Under 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ), specific information must be included in the periodic statement. Please provide documentation that proves the statement was issued in compliance with these requirements and was delivered within the legal timeframe.

Notice of Requirements : In accordance with Rule 1002, you are required to provide me with the requested documentation within 10 calendar days of receiving this notice. 

Please be advised that merely asserting the information is accurate is not sufficient. Without clear proof of compliance with the relevant provisions of the FCRA ( specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), 1666b, and 1637 ( b ) ), the information reported to the credit bureaus is invalid, and there is no basis for it to remain on my credit report. 
Please note, I am aware of the lawsuits filed against " certain credit reporting agencies '' by the CFPB, as a result, I am requesting a proper investigation.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am a longtime customer of Wells Fargo Bank, and on XX/XX/year>, I reordered checks -- something I do about once a year. In the past, I have received six books per order. I can't remember what I paid for them last -- it's been so long ago -- but it wasn't enough for me to raise an eyebrow. This time around I was charged {$31.00} for 60 checks ( two books ), which comes to about {$2.00} per check. A simple piece of paper with a bit of ink on it! 

I also paid {$15.00} for trackable shipping, but of course, that is an exorbitant price for that service. With tax, I paid a total of {$52.00} for 60 checks. 

I have talked to the bank 's customer service, and the rep offered me no more explanation than " printing costs have gone up, '' and she promised to " pass along your complaint. '' Yes, they are duplicate checks, but I can not fathom printing costs have risen so much that the price has gone up to {$2.00} each. I know my complaint will go nowhere. 

The whole thing reeks of a way that Wells Fargo has figured out to gouge more money out of its customers. It's just highway robbery.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

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 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: State Cap Auto Finance, Inc
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding a closed auto loan account with STATE CAP AUTO FINANCE ( Account # XXXX ), which is currently reporting negatively to XXXX and XXXX due to multiple 30-day late payments between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

On or about XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX, I was involved in a serious automobile accident, after which my auto insurance provider and XXXX coverage promptly paid off the loan in full within 3045 days of the incident. I was told that this would satisfy the outstanding balance and close out the account. 

However, despite this timely settlement : The account was reported as 30 days late for four consecutive months ( XXXX & XXXX ). 

Payment history shows inaccurate delinquencies that are not reflective of the reality of the payoff and settlement process. 

These false delinquencies are now harming my credit profile unjustly and are being reflected as if I defaulted, even though the loan was fully satisfied by third parties. 

I was never late under my own payment responsibility delays were part of the XXXX processing window, and I was never made aware of any outstanding balance. 

This reporting is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that all credit data be accurate, complete, and not misleading. It also violates Metro 2 credit reporting compliance since the account is reflecting late payments after it was resolved and paid.
