Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate and fraudulent information present on my Experian consumer report. The inaccuracies pertain to false names, addresses, and phone numbers, which are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As such, I request the immediate intervention of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to rectify this matter in accordance with FCRA regulations. 

Details of the fraudulent information on my Experian consumer report are as follows : Incorrect Names : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
False Addresses : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  These inaccuracies not only undermine the integrity of my credit profile but also pose a serious risk to my financial well-being. As a consumer protected under the FCRA, I am entitled to accurate and verifiable information on my credit report. The presence of fraudulent details compromises my ability to access credit and financial services, and it is imperative that they are promptly removed. 

I have attempted to address this issue directly with Experian but have not received satisfactory resolution. Despite providing evidence of the fraudulent nature of the information, Experian has failed to take appropriate action to correct the inaccuracies. 

Enclosed with this complaint are copies of relevant documentation, including my valid identification and proof of residence, to support my claim. I urge the CFPB to investigate this matter thoroughly and compel Experian to comply with FCRA regulations by promptly removing the fraudulent information from my consumer report. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and request that you keep me informed of any actions taken regarding my complaint. Should you require any further information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me at the phone number or email address provided above. Attached is a copy of my dispute letter sent to Experian. 

Thank you for your prompt assistance in addressing this issue.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I've been paying extra on this loan for quite some time now. Full year. 

The initial loan was for {$20000.00}. And the interest rate was 12.99 % per annum. 

So far, I have made 12 payments, totaling {$5100.00}. 

{$2000.00} has come off of the loan. 

That leaves a balance of {$17000.00}. 

That means that in the first 12 months, {$3000.00} was interest. 

That does not make any sense, because I have paid more than the minimum almost every single month. Sometimes I've made double payments. 

It is also an effective interest rate of 15.28 %. 

Something is not right here. 

12.99 % should have been {$2500.00} of interest in that year.
