Company: ROBINHOOD MARKETS INC.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
Robinhood failed to provide access to my account. I had to give them biometric data, which I've never had to do before to regain access to my account. When I tried to login on my phone, they asked me to verify on a different device. I tried the other device, and they asked me to verify on my phone ( Login loop ). I then tried to verify my login through my bank. 

I used their bank verification method to try and login. And after verifying everything through my bank, it simply did nothing but ask me to verify again. After successfully verifying 3 times with my bank, Robinhood still wouldn't let me access my account.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Equifax is inaccurately reporting a bankruptcy and several negative accounts on my credit file, including : Bankruptcy ( Public Record ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Equifax has confirmed that my personal information was compromised in the XXXX Equifax data breach ( see attached screenshot, Engagement # XXXX ). Because my personal data was exposed, I have serious concerns about the accuracy and integrity of these items. 

I previously disputed these accounts directly with Equifax and specifically requested original source documentation to verify them including court records for the bankruptcy and direct creditor records for the accounts. Equifax failed to provide this information and continues to report the items without proper verification. 

This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit reporting agencies to : Ensure maximum possible accuracy of all reported information ; and Conduct reasonable investigations, including furnishing original documentation when requested. 

Due to XXXX confirmed breach and failure to verify, I am requesting that the CFPB compel Equifax to either : XXXXProvide proper courtverified or original creditor documentation proving the accuracy of these items ; or XXXXPermanently delete these items from my credit file. 

I have attached : Proof of Equifax breach exposure ( screenshot ) Date : XX/XX/XXXX To : Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Accounts Breach Exposure Verification Required To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my Equifax credit report under the name XXXX XXXX. Equifax has confirmed that my personal information was compromised in the XXXX Equifax data breach ( see attached proof of exposure, XXXX # XXXX ). Because of this breach, I have serious concerns about the accuracy and verification of the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) XXXX, I am requesting that Equifax provide original source documentation directly from the original creditors verifying these accounts. Internal Equifax records or thirdparty verifications are insufficient ; I am requesting full documentation from the actual source. 

If Equifax can not provide this documentation within the XXXX investigation period, these accounts must be permanently deleted from my credit report. Continued reporting without proper verification will result in escalation to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) for enforcement action. 

Please confirm receipt of this dispute and provide the results of your investigation in writing. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this formal complaint to bring to the attention of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) a series of serious violations of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite my numerous attempts to dispute and resolve multiple inaccuracies, incorrect information continues to appear on my credit report, including false addresses, late payments that I did not incur, charge-off entries that were never properly validated, and several unauthorized hard inquiries that were made without my consent or permissible purpose. I have contacted the major credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  ) and the furnishers of these accounts, yet no valid proof or investigation results were provided. Therefore, I am requesting that the CFPB urgently intervene, initiate a full investigation, and compel the responsible parties to permanently delete these items from my credit report in accordance with the law. 
ACCOUNT XXXX XXXX XXXX CO XXXX * HIGH BALANCE : {$9100.00} DATE OPENED : XX/XX/XXXX * * LAW : FCRA Section 611, 609 ( a ), 602 ( b ), and 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ISSUE : This account is reporting as a charge-off, but it is inaccurate and unverifiable. The balance and status are in dispute. 
STORY : I am requesting a second-round reinvestigation of this tradeline. The first round did not provide any supporting documentation or signed agreement confirming the validity of this account or charge-off status. I never authorized this reporting and demand validation. If you can not provide a complete method of verification, this account must be deleted immediately under the FCRA. 

INQUIRY XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX LAW : FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ), Section 607 ISSUE : This appears to be a duplicate or unauthorized inquiry from the same entity. I did not request or approve this credit pull.

STORY : This inquiry appears to be an error or a duplicate unauthorized access attempt. I am requesting that it be removed immediately under the FCRA, and that confirmation be sent to me in writing.

The continued reporting of false addresses, inaccurate late payments, unverifiable charge-offs, and unauthorized credit inquiries is causing significant financial harm, emotional distress, and reputational damage. These entries are not only misleading but also unlawful under multiple provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I have exhausted all direct options with the credit bureaus and furnishers, yet the information remains uncorrected. Therefore, I am requesting the CFPB to immediately investigate these violations, hold the responsible data furnishers and reporting agencies accountable, and compel them to remove all inaccurate and unauthorized entries listed in this complaint. I demand full compliance with the FCRA and the permanent correction of my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>2024, I entered into a financing agreement facilitated by Special Financing Company LLC for a real estate coaching program offered by XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ). Special Financing Company LLC acted as the loan provider and directly collected payment from me.

The coaching program was a fraudulent scheme. No services were ever delivered, and all communication from the service provider has stopped. Special Financing Company LLC now claims they were only a note buyer, trying to absolve themselves of responsibility. That is completely unacceptable and misleading.

They financed and collected money on behalf of a provider that never delivered, and therefore they are directly complicit in enabling and profiting from a fraudulent transaction. They can not play neutral while keeping the money I paid in good faith.

This was a fraudulent transaction, and Special Financing Company LLC played a key role in facilitating and benefiting from it.
