Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Recent findings by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) have raised serious concerns about Equifaxs failure to conduct proper investigations. The CFPB alleges in a lawsuit that Equifax violated consumer protection laws by performing inadequate investigations, contrary to its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Per 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Equifax must conduct a thorough reinvestigation of disputed items within 30 days. Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) requires that any inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information be corrected or removed promptly. Failure to meet these requirements constitutes a federal law violation. 

I am disputing the following unresolved negative items on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Despite my repeated disputes and providing all necessary information, these items remain unverified. This inaction has caused significant financial harm and emotional stress. 

As guaranteed by the FCRA, I am entitled to an accurate credit report. I request immediate action to verify or remove these items to resolve this ongoing violation of my rights.

Company: Harris & Harris, Ltd.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I began receiving phone calls from Harris & Harris in XXXX of 2024, every single day, often several times a day, XXXX. I've maybe received a voicemail a handful of times, stating the intent of the call. I have never received anything in writing regarding this debt -- nothing notifying me of debt, nothing allowing me to dispute, nothing allowing me to settle. In early XX/XX/XXXX2024, I noticed that this company filed a negative/collection to my credit report. I disputed this filing and saw that the company quickly closed the account. However, I saw that this company reopened the account in early XXXX of 2025. Again, I've not received anything in writing, and this company continues to call me multiple times a day. I've not answered their calls, because I don't want them to reset the collection or make the claim that I've acknowledged it belongs to me. In the meantime, I've once again, disputed this filing to my credit report with the proper credit agencies.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, I noticed an unauthorized charge on my credit card and notified Bank of America promptly. I had recently had my email address flooded with numerous emails saying I had signed up for accounts that were not mine. I noticed XXXX email with an order matching this amount to an address that is not my address of record and with which I have no connection. 

Bank of America told me not to contact the company and filed a dispute. On XX/XX/year>2025, they notified me that they were not approving my claim, saying the merchant had provided evidence that these items were delivered. However, all that was provided was an order and a delivery proof to the address I noted above, with which I had no connection. This is obviously not proof that I authorized the charge, and Bank of America provided me with no obvious mechanism to dispute this decision. 

I have written to Bank of America and filed a complaint with the Comptroller of the Currency, but it is not fair that I should owe this amount, interest on this amount, and risk my credit score for a charge that I did not authorize. I would note that Bank of America 's fraud prevention should have flagged a large purchase to an address with no affiliation to mine, but it did not. 

I have attached the documents Bank of America provided as proof- they do not match my address at all.
