Complaint narrative:
Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I have identified multiple errors that have adversely affected my credit score. These errors are not a true reflection of my credit history, and I believe they may have resulted from clerical mistakes, identity theft, or outdated information. I am requesting that these inaccuracies be promptly investigated and removed to ensure my credit report accurately reflects my financial responsibility. The incorrect information has caused undue harm to my credit score, which can affect my ability to secure credit and other financial opportunities. I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency it requires and make the necessary corrections.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian disputing a late payment reported by XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Made on Time : The reported late payment is inaccurate as I made my payment on time. I have included bank statements showing the payment was processed before the due date.

Account Closure : The account was closed at my request, and no late payments occurred at the time of closure. The reported late payment misrepresents the accounts closure status. Ive included the closure confirmation showing that the account was paid in full before the due date. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Experian has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: HW Holding, Inc
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I moved out of my apartment early and had to break my lease. The building management made up a lease break fee of {$5000.00}. I refused to pay this fee as it was not mentioned in the lease. They then withheld my security deposit, and claimed that I owed them {$1700.00} for leaving my lease. This fee was also not written in the lease so I refused to pay it. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, they sent a third party debt collector after me who contacted me through phone call and email. The building management told the debt collector that I did not pay XX/XX/XXXX rent. I showed the debt collector evidence that I in fact, did pay XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX rent. The debt collector did not respond to the information I provided. Instead, they placed a collections account of {$700.00} with all three of my credit reporting agencies. 

I would like this collections account removed as a ) the debt collector is using false information to collect my debt and b ) the building management is still unlawfully withholding my {$1000.00} security deposit.

Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of multiple counts of identity theft by an individual I filed police reports and an XXXX report against. In XX/XX/XXXX, a business credit card was opened fraudulently in my name. The perpetrator racked up {$24000.00} of charges in my name and in XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered the account and reported it as identity fraud to XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX denied my claim and I filed another one. I provided additional documentation, such as two police report numbers that I filed against the individual for an ongoing investigation of identity theft. I also submitted an FTC Identity Theft Report and XXXX FBI report, and proof of address to show that the business card was mailed to an address that was not mine. XXXX denied my claim again and stated that I was responsible for the debt. 

Evidence that the card was not opened in my name includes charges on the statements that show the perpetrator 's name. Also, all the purchases were made in a state that I did not reside in. Furthermore, the address on the statement is that of the perpetrator ( and not my address ), further showing that the perpetrator had the business card mailed to his address. 

I would like all three credit bureaus to remove this account from all of the credit reporting agencies. This has negatively impacted my credit score by 100+ points and XXXX has yet to do anything about the claim/provide further information about the investigation despite two months of me consistently calling and following up.
