I am sending this complaint to XXXX  regarding inaccurate data reported on my credit file that has not been validated, certified as accurate, or physically verified. 

I have noticed potentially erroneous and highly questionable remarks on my credit report that were neither verified. As a consumer, I have the right to request that you remove these entries immediately, in accordance with my federal and state consumer rights. This complaint is also a check to ensure the items you report comply with FACTA Title 1, Section 151, which clearly outlines the procedures to be followed.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I used Chimes XXXX feature to access an early wage advance of {$80.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I understand I still owe {$24.00} on this advance. However, I have not received any qualifying direct deposit since early XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, Chime withdrew {$58.00} from my account as repayment, but the deposit it took from was a XXXX XXXX transfer, not a paycheck or direct deposit. At no point was I clearly informed that after the estimated pay date passes, non-payroll deposits such as XXXX XXXX transfers could be used to repay XXXX  advances. Because I did not have the full amount owed in my account, Chime was only able to take a partial repayment. The withdrawal of the {$58.00} caused financial hardship, as I had set aside those funds for urgent personal needs. I contacted Chime support to explain the situation and request a refund or credit, but they said there was nothing they could do. I believe the repayment was taken on the wrong day and from the wrong type of deposit, and that Chimes repayment policy lacks transparency. Im requesting an investigation into this matter and that Chime be held accountable for unclear and unfair repayment practices.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint to the Bureaus a month ago, but sadly, the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they have properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is extremely frustrating! Over 30 days have passed since I filed my complaint, and the disputed accounts remain unchanged. If this persists, I may have to consider legal action due to the significant stress it has caused me. Additionally, I'm worried about the security of my personal information, especially after the data breach involving XXXX, Experian, and XXXX.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a complaint regarding inaccurate late payment reporting by XXXX XXXX. Federal law requires creditors to notify consumers of late payments at least 21 days before the billing due date. My payment, due on XX/XX/year>, was reported as late without proper notice, in direct violation of this requirement. 

According to 15 USC 1602, my consumer report functions as a " credit device '' used to access credit. Therefore, any inaccurate or unverified derogatory reportingsuch as this late paymentconstitutes a misuse of my consumer report and a clear violation of my rights. 

I have contacted XXXX XXXX and disputed this with all three credit reporting agenciesExperian, Equifax, and TransUnionbut the issue remains unresolved. 

There is no record or proof that I was given at least 21 days ' notice prior to the billing due date. Today is XX/XX/year>, which is well beyond the legal XXXX notice requirement. The absence of such notice renders this late payment inaccurate and unlawful under federal consumer credit protection statutes. 

Please find attached my formal dispute letters and supporting documentation for your review.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, I took out an XXXX credit line to purchase some furniture. I was in the process of moving across the country to care for my XXXX father, who had been diagnosed with XXXX  XXXX XXXX. I was in the middle of a XXXX program and didn't have enough money to pay for the move and furniture, so I looked to XXXX. Due to financial constraints, the stress of my father 's XXXX and XXXX treatments, and the time it took to care for him and help him through the treatment, I lost track of the debt and stopped making payments. The debt was then sold to a collections agency, but I wasn't made aware of that or contacted by anyone. 
In XXXX, my mother received a call from someone purportedly named XXXX XXXX, who was claiming that I was about to have a " locate notice '' filed with the XXXX XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX  is where I lived prior to my move ). They gave me a file number of XXXX and an XXXX number to call. My mom gave me that information, and I was able to get in touch with them to set up payments on the debt. I never intended to defraud anyone, but was facing serious emotional and financial constraints and simply lost track of things. The person I spoke with claimed to be a mediating service who was trying to set up a payment plan. I gave them my information and set up payments, but when I asked for some sort of written proof of the debt and my payment arrangement, I was told that they are only mediators and they don't do that. I was unable to get any additional information from them despite asking. I made four payments totaling over {$500.00}, which is a significant portion of the debt I owe. I've since come to learn that this was a scam. The charges on my bank account are listed as going to " Global XXXX. '' I've been unable to contact them since, and this morning when I finally found the information on the actual debt collectors who have my debt, I learned none of the money I'd paid had gone towards my debt. Further, the account/file number they gave me was fraudulent and does not match the one I was given by the actual, legitimate collections group. I am devastated, as I truly thought I was doing the right thing, and instead my money has lined the pockets of scammers. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX and an XXXX at a university, so I don't make much money to begin with. All I want is to make good on the agreement I signed and to take care of my family, and this has prevented me from doing both.
