Complaint narrative:
THE REPORTING AGENCY HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED METHOD OF VERIFICATION AND HAS REFUSED TO DISCLOSE THE SPECIFIC SOURCES OR DOCUMENTATION USED TO VERIFY THE DISPUTED INFORMATION, IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF 15 U.S.C. 1681I ( A ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( III ). THIS FAILURE DENIES ME MY STATUTORY RIGHT TO UNDERSTAND HOW AND FROM WHOM THE DATA WAS VERIFIED. INSTEAD OF PROVIDING ANY SUBSTANTIVE PROOF OR AUTHENTIC RECORDS, THE AGENCY MERELY RE-STATED THE SAME INFORMATION THAT WAS ALREADY IN DISPUTE AN ACTION THAT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A VALID OR LAWFUL REINVESTIGATION. 
THIS BEHAVIOR SHOWS A CLEAR PATTERN OF PROCEDURAL MISCONDUCT AND NONCOMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL INVESTIGATION STANDARDS. THE AGENCYS ACTIONS INDICATE EITHER A TOTAL ABSENCE OF PROOF OR AN INTENTIONAL REFUSAL TO DISCLOSE SUCH PROOF, BOTH OF WHICH VIOLATE THE FCRAS REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND DUE PROCESS. 
FURTHERMORE, THE AGENCY IGNORED MY CONSUMER STATEMENT AND FAILED TO INCLUDE IT IN THE FILE OR REPORTS PROVIDED TO THIRD PARTIES, AS REQUIRED BY 15 U.S.C. 1681I ( B ). THIS DENIES ME THE RIGHT TO HAVE MY DISPUTE FAIRLY REPRESENTED AND FURTHER DEMONSTRATES DISREGARD FOR CONSUMER PROTECTION OBLIGATIONS. 
THE FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE METHOD OF VERIFICATION, TO DISCLOSE ORIGINAL SOURCE DATA, AND TO INCLUDE MY CONSUMER STATEMENT IS A SYSTEMIC BREACH OF DUTY THAT UNDERMINES THE CREDIBILITY AND INTEGRITY OF THE ENTIRE REPORTING PROCESS.

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a written dispute to BANK OF AMERICA dated XX/XX/year>, regarding an account that is being inaccurately reported on my credit file. Despite providing all the necessary identifying information and requesting verification under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), BANK OF AMERICA has failed to respond, verify, or correct the information within the required XXXX ( XXXX ) days. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ), the furnisher of information is required to conduct a reasonable investigation once a dispute has been received. Since BANK OF AMERICA did not provide any documentation to substantiate the accuracy of the reported account, they are now in noncompliance with federal law and continue to furnish unverifiable and misleading data to the credit bureaus. This inaction has caused harm to my consumer credit profile and has obstructed my efforts to maintain accurate and fair reporting. I am therefore seeking the CFPBs intervention to ensure BANK XXXX XXXX immediate compliance with FCRA requirements. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a complaint against Transworld Systems Inc and XXXX for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by illegally re-inserting a previously deleted collection account without providing the legally required reinsertion notice or proper verification. 

This XXXXTransworld account XXXX Acct ending * XXXX, {$990.00} ) was removed previously under a different collection agency, confirming it could not be verified. Despite this, XXXX  and Transworld reinserted the exact same account under a new furnisher ( Transworld Systems ) without : 1. Providing the mandatory FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) reinsertion notice within 5 business days 2. Providing a valid Method of Verification ( MOV ) 3. Submitting any documentation proving a new investigation 4. Demonstrating permissible purpose for reinsertion 5. Confirming chain of assignment since the debt has changed hands Each time I dispute, Transworld uploads the same XXXX  bill, which does not meet FCRA verification standards and does not prove ownership, assignment, or accuracy. A simple billing statement is not verification under the FCRA, as it does not establish : Legal standing Complete account history Assignment documentation Itemization of charges Proof the debt is mine XXXX  continues to mark this item as verified while ignoring the reinsertion violation. This is a direct breach of : FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) Failure to conduct a reasonable investigation FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) Illegal reinsertion without notice FCRA 607 ( b ) Failure to maintain maximum possible accuracy I am requesting CFPB intervention to require : 1. Immediate removal of the account from all bureaus 2. Documentation of how verification was performed 3. Proof that the furnisher has legal standing 4. Confirmation of reinsertion procedures 5. Review for civil liability due to repeated violations This inaccurate and illegally reinserted account is causing ongoing harm. I request full enforcement action. 

Thank you for your attention.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because I am a victim of a data breach, and as a result, several charged-off accounts are being reported inaccurately, incompletely, and in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the CFPBs reporting standards. The accounts being reported as charged off contain unverifiable, inconsistent, and misleading information, and the furnishers have failed to conduct a lawful investigation as required by FCRA 602, 607 ( b ), and 611. 

Because my personal data was compromised, I requested verification and validation for all charged-off accounts appearing on my reports. To date, none of the furnishers have provided any documentation proving the accounts belong to me, nor have they supplied any contracts, application records, payment histories, or itemized statements. Under FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I have a right to receive the underlying information used to verify the accuracy of any furnished data. Instead, these furnishers continue to report unverified, outdated, and contradictory information, violating FCRA 607 ( b ) ( duty to report accurate information ) and 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( furnishers duty to not report information they know or should know is inaccurate ). 

Furthermore, the reporting fails Metro 2 compliance requirements, including : 1. Date of Last Activity ( DLA ) inconsistencies 2. Incorrect charge-off dates 3. Inconsistent high balances and past-due amounts across bureaus 4. Missing or conflicting account statuses 5. Lack of permissible purpose due to compromised identity These discrepancies demonstrate that the furnishers can not verify ownership, accuracy, or legitimacy of these charged-off accounts. As a data-breach victim, any unverifiable information must be removed immediately because it poses ongoing harm, financial injury, and increased risk of identity misuse.
