Complaint narrative:
I discovered multiple fraudulent accounts, unauthorized names, and unfamiliar addresses listed on my Equifax credit report. These include accounts with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX, none of which I opened or authorized. My identity was clearly used without my knowledge or consent, which constitutes identity theft. Additionally, names such as XXXX XXXX XXXX and addresses like XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX and XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX were falsely associated with me. These entries are inaccurate, misleading, and damaging to my credit profile. I am submitting this dispute along with my FTC Identity Theft Report and supporting documentation to demand the permanent removal of these fraudulent entries from my Equifax file.

I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am attaching a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as a result of such theft within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. 
The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - XXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately blocked from my credit report. This block should remain in effect for a period of XXXX year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported. 
I have contacted EQUIFAX multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive resolution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely affecting me as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my economic growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm. 
These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit agencies, so I do not understand why this agency continues to assert that these accounts belong to me. 
I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than XXXX  days, I have not received any response. I respectfully request your assistance in removing these accounts immediately.

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter along with a physical debit card in the mail from Chime despite never having a relationship or requesting any account opening. A credit card was also opened under my name which was also fraud/identity theft. When contacting their fraud department, they were unwilling to close any accounts despite my request and confirmation that this was unauthorized activity and fraud. They directed me to FTC to file a report. They would not tell me where the credit card was being mailed to and would not put a lock on the newly opened accounts.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency failed to meet its obligations under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires the agency to provide, upon request, a detailed description of the reinvestigation procedures used to verify disputed information. I specifically requested the name and contact information of the furnisher, the identity of the person the agency communicated with, and the documentation used to confirm the accuracy of the disputed account. The agency did not provide this information within the 15-day timeframe required by law. This lack of response is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2025, I sent Midland Credit Management a certified debt validation request under 15 U.S. Code 1692g. Instead of responding with the required documentation, they updated my credit report to show the comment : Account information disputed by consumer ( meets requirement of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ), but continued to report the account as delinquent.

They have not provided any validation of the debt, yet they also sent a settlement offer after receiving my dispute, demonstrating continued collection activity in violation of federal law. This ongoing reporting is misleading, inaccurate, and violates both the FDCPA and the FCRA, specifically under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2. 

I am requesting full removal of this account from my credit reports. The companys failure to validate while continuing to report and re-age this XXXX year-old debt has negatively impacted my ability to secure employment.

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. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
