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.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because I received a letter from Discover about a week or two ago stating that they replaced my card due to unknown activity reported on your account. I never activated this card, and I did not ask to be issued a replacement. I previously contacted Discover and the CFPB regarding my account and identity concerns, and I was expecting Discover to respond by now. They have not responded to my other complaints, and I am still receiving mail from them.

I want this matter handled through the CFPB portal. I do not want Discover calling me or sending more mail. The letter clearly shows Discover knew there was unusual or unknown activity on my account, yet they still issued a new card without my permission. This may be the second or third card. This is extremely concerning and confusing.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My XXXX credit card account is being reported inaccurately to the credit bureaus. 
My last payment on this account was in XX/XX/XXXX, but XXXX  is reporting that same date as payment dates in XXXX, which is impossible. This is improper re-aging and violates the FCRA. 

The account was closed and charged off in XX/XX/XXXX, yet the bureaus are reporting payment activity AFTER the account was closed. 
The past-due and balance information is also inconsistent with a charged-off account. 

I disputed the inaccurate information with XXXX and TransUnion, but the information was not corrected. 
I am requesting a full investigation and removal of the tradeline if XXXX can not provide accurate records of the reported dates and balance.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to formally request the immediate blocking and deletion of fraudulent accounts appearing on my credit report, which were created using my personal information compromised in the Equifax data breach. Despite submitting a detailed dispute letter to the credit bureauincluding proof of identity theft, a list of unauthorized accounts, and personal identifiersthey have failed to take appropriate action within the timeframe required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 1681c-2 ( a ). These fraudulent accounts continue to harm my credit profile and violate my rights under federal law. I am asking the CFPB to investigate this matter and compel the bureau to permanently remove the disputed items, provide written confirmation of the actions taken, and ensure full compliance with the FCRA and other applicable consumer protection statutes. This issue poses an ongoing threat to my financial security and demands urgent resolution.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Valor Intelligent Processing, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing an incorrect toll debt that XXXX sent to a collection agency ( Valor Intelligent Processing ). My official XXXX statements show my account was in positive standing through XX/XX/XXXX ( {$41.00} ending balance ) and still in positive/near-zero standing in early XXXX ( {$2.00} ending balance ). There is no evidence of any large unpaid tolls. Despite this, XXXX suddenly put my account in external collection status and claimed I owed {$280.00}, later increased to {$320.00}. 

I requested an itemized list of tolls, the original balance before it was sent to collections, and proof of how this amount was calculated. XXXX representatives were unable to locate or explain the charges. I was told different information each timefirst that I never paid since XXXX, then they admitted I paid, then they said they could not see my previous balance, and then they acknowledged it but still insisted the debt was valid. 

Valor also provided no itemized proof of the debt. Their letter only states that {$280.00} was never covered, without any toll dates, locations, or transaction details. They also instructed me to contact XXXX for explanations, but XXXX keeps directing me back to Valor. Neither company is investigating the error. 

My XXXX account is now blocked, preventing me from paying new tolls normally. This is forcing additional charges and administrative fees during a dispute that has not been reviewed properly. I am requesting CFPB assistance to : ( 1 ) require a full audit of my account, ( 2 ) provide evidence of the alleged {$280.00} debt, ( 3 ) correct or remove the incorrect collection amount, and ( 4 ) restore my XXXX account so I can pay my current tolls without penalty.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On approx XXXX I opened a dispute with Discover for 2 charges on 2 of my credit cards with them. Discover advised me to open the dispute under " services not as described '' after explaining the situation in detail to the representative on the phone. I then uploaded most of the documentation attached below to the dispute for both charges. On approx XXXX both were denied without a reason provided until I was able to call in and verify that there was specific additional documentation they needed to support my case. Another month after uploading that, it was denied again, claiming they could not verify the documentation of communication was actually to the merchant in the dispute. I then provided further documentation I attached below to verify the merchant had been contacted. After those weeks later I was told that it was not denied for a 3rd reason, the merchant had not agreed to refund, and it had been too long since the charge had taken place. This is in direct conflict with the protections advertised on their website, previous claims I have had with matching circumstances, and any information disclosed as a limiting factor by Discover prior to going through all of this extended effort. I am not sure how the amount of information can change so many times and how previous disputes with matching circumatances could be treated so differently.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be no confusion or stall tactics on your end.
