Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to formally report XXXX  failure to comply with its legal obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically regarding its handling of disputed information on my credit report. 

I submitted a dispute to XXXX  regarding inaccurate and/or unverifiable accounts appearing on my credit file. Despite providing supporting documentation and clearly outlining the inaccuracies, XXXX  failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation as required by law. The disputed information remains on my report without proper correction, deletion, or justification. 

XXXX  did not provide adequate documentation or a meaningful explanation of the investigation results. I have reason to believe that the reinvestigation process was perfunctory and relied solely on automated responses from data furnish

Company: SOFI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute your recent decision to deny me the {$300.00} new account bonus based on direct deposit activity. 

Per the terms of your promotion, I was eligible to receive the {$300.00} bonus for setting up qualifying direct deposits totaling {$5000.00} or more. I received a {$5400.00} IRS tax refund via direct deposit into my SoFi account, followed by regular deposits from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX ) that brought my total direct deposits to {$5900.00}. 

Your team is now claiming that the IRS deposit does not count as a qualifying direct deposit. This is inaccurate. The IRS payment was clearly issued via ACH, which is the industry standard for direct deposit. It was not a manual transfer, check deposit, or internal transferit was a government-issued direct deposit using standard routing and account numbers.

Below is a summary of the qualifying direct deposits made to my account : Date Source Amount ( $ ) XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I respectfully request that SoFi honor the advertised promotion and issue the {$300.00} bonus. 

If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will proceed with a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau under the grounds of unfair and deceptive business practices. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing several accounts currently listed on my credit report because I believe some of the information is inaccurate, outdated, or unverifiable. I am submitting this dispute under my rights granted by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). 

For example : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX is reporting a collection account opened on XX/XX/XXXX for {$5600.00}. I do not recognize this debt and have not received proper validation from the agency or original creditor. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX is listing a balance of {$7500.00} as past due as of XX/XX/XXXX, but I was never notified of this debt, and I have not received a breakdown or supporting documents. 
XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX charged off an account ( opened XX/XX/XXXX ) with {$950.00} still reported as past due. I would like confirmation this is not being reported incorrectly or duplicated, as I previously had XXXX other loans with them that were paid in full and closed in good standing. 
XXXX XXXX is reporting my auto loan as past due in the amount of {$1400.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX, but I was actively making payments. I have contacted their customer service regarding this discrepancy and was told an internal review would be conducted, but I have not received an update. 

I have also had accounts that were included in my XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy ( filed XX/XX/XXXX, discharged XX/XX/XXXX ) and are still appearing with active balances. Additionally, my XXXX  XXXX case ( filed XX/XX/XXXX, dismissed XX/XX/XXXX ) may still be showing inaccurately. 

I request that these items be investigated, validated, and updated or removed as necessary. Supporting documents can be provided if needed. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, or hard inquiries as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( private case number ) as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud.
