Complaint narrative:
My student loan servicer has reported a XXXX late payment on my credit report without showing any XXXX or XXXX delinquency prior to that. The payment history previously showed 'XXXX XXXX XXXX 

This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act Sections 611 and 623, as well as Metro 2 industry standards, which require complete and accurate credit reporting. I have disputed this with both the servicer and credit bureaus, but the inaccurate data has not been corrected.

Complaint narrative:
On Sat. XXXX i tried to log into my account and I got an error message saying that I needed to verify my identity. I was fine with that as its been a while since I put a freeze on my credit and the additional info was appreciated. There was an option to call in. I did and there automated system would not let me speak to an agent to solve this issue. I kept going back and forth with the automatic response and they kept redirecting me to the online and voice instructions. I HAD just review those instructions which is why I called in. I ended up not applying for a new credit card cause I could not get approved. I left it alone hoping that since it was a weekday there wouldn't be any responses. So I tried to log into my account again on XXXX and I kept getting wrong password. Which is werid cause I saved this password and I know it's correct. I can not reset my password. And I even tried to signed in via the phone number option but I do not receive the codes. I called once again during working hours and since it's the middle of the week. But I still can not reach an agent.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I'd like to emphasize that I am the one submitting this complaint and there is no third party involved. 
Despite having sent multiple letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by XXXX  as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under XXXX clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through XXXX, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid.

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report. 
XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX ) : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Unable to open an account
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because I am currently unable to open a new bank account due to multiple previous accounts that were closed with a negative balance. These accounts are being reported to consumer reporting agencies like XXXX and/or XXXX XXXX XXXX by the following bank : Bank of America While I acknowledge that some of these accounts may have had negative balances, I was not properly informed of the closures or final balances owed in several cases. I was also not provided a clear breakdown of the charges or adequate opportunity to resolve the issues before the accounts were closed and reported. 

These unresolved or unverified reports are now preventing me from opening any new checking or savings accounts, which is severely impacting my ability to manage money, receive direct deposits, and pay bills. 

I am requesting that a full investigation be conducted into the accuracy and validity of these reports. I also request that I be provided with any documentation that proves the final amounts owed, transaction history, and communication regarding the account closures. 

If these debts can not be verified or if the reporting banks can not provide proper documentation, I respectfully ask that the negative reports be removed from my consumer file.
