Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: Netspend Corporation
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I received a NETSPEND card from my father in-law. The date of expiration on the case is " Good Thru XX/XX/XXXX ''. When I tried to use the card it did not work. I called the automated phone number and it indicated this card was expired. I spoke with the representative who was unable to help me, as I did not have exact date the card was purchase. Which my father-in-law doesn't have either as it was sometime ago and those records were lost. I do not believe that a pre-paid card should go to waste because the date of purchase can not be recalled. 

I've attached a screenshot of my unable to register the card and one of the card 's expiration date.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I reached out to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX back on XX/XX/XXXX through the CFPB and I also sent them a letter to theyre XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX address and emailed them to customer XXXX email because they have a collection item on my report that I have no knowledge of. An investigation was opened and they responded back on XX/XX/XXXX. I received a call on XX/XX/XXXX about my issue and stated that I wanted some kind of proof this was my debt such as a contract, with my name and signature or my picture ID or anything to prove it was in fact me. I was told to call the original debtor to get that info and that they have a bill with my name on it. I told them to send it to me and they said they cant and an investigation would then take place. I called back on XX/XX/XXXX and asked if anything happened with the investigation and I was told an investigation was never opened. I was then told they were going to open 1 that day on XX/XX/XXXX. I called back XX/XX/XXXX to see if any progress had been made and was told the investigation was still pending. I called back XX/XX/XXXX which was well over 30 days and still the investigation was pending. I asked for a manager and I spoke to a woman who refused to give me her name and hung up the phone on me after I explained to her that her 30 day investigation period was up and I need this item removed as it was hurting my score. I asked repeatedly for proof it was me and my debt and I have yet to this day XX/XX/XXXX received anything and XXXX XXXX  is still on my credit report reporting negatively. I called XX/XX/XXXX and asked again to have this removed and was told no and I got the phone hung up on me again. Each time I called Ive been spoke to rudely and have been treated unfairly and Im only trying to have an issue resolved.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have contacted Chime multiple times disputing a claim of multiple unknown charges totally over {$2000.00} and filing multiple rebuttals. Dispute # XXXX. Every one of my claims has been denied within hours of being filed. When I requested documentation of why my claim was denied, the only thing I was sent was a list of the charges and the intake form that was filled out when I called to file the claim. I called again, requesting additional information why my claim was denied and I receive the same documentation. I contacted the merchant myself and spoke with them, and they claimed there has been no dispute filed on my behalf from Chime, they dont have an account for me for any purchases, and that I needed to contact my bank for them to file a dispute claim. I again contacted Chime about this, and again was denied, and again received the same denial documentation, which was only a list of charges and the intake form. I sent them screenshots of the merchant information and explained that I spoke with the merchant, and they have no documentation of a claim filed on my behalf. XXXX opened a rebuttal and it was denied within five hours. Every time I call I get the same answer from Chime. They dont give me any documentation or information about the snail and they say the only thing they can give me a screenshot of the charges and the intake form to you. I explained to them that regulation E requires them to give me specific documentation about my claim denial, and they refused to give me that information, claiming they can only give me the screenshots I have been given. They will not allow me to talk to any of the investigators that work with disputed claim, And they wont give me any investigation information. I contacted the FDIC and the police to file a report and they stated they needed the documentation from Chime and when I asked chime about this, they told me again they could only give me the screenshot I am filing the claim against chime in hopes that they will actually do investigation and look into my claim. I did inform them that I would be filing this with you.
