Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Experian for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuarcies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Experian consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Cresit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Experian 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. XXXX ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Experian complies with federal law and provides consumers with the neccessary proof of investigation.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I referred a friend, XXXX XXXX, to apply for the Saver Capital One credit card using the referral link provided to me through the Capital One mobile app. He applied and was approved for the card on the same day. 

I have clear evidence, including a timestamped text message, showing that I sent him the correct referral link on the day he applied. XXXX can also confirm that he had no prior Capital One credit cards and used my referral link as instructed. 

According to Capital One 's referral program terms, I should have received the referral reward within 8 weeks of his approval. It has now been over 9 weeks, and I have still not received the reward. 

I contacted Capital One customer service, but they insisted that my friend did not follow the proper steps, despite the evidence I provided. They have not offered a way to resolve the issue or further investigate the referral tracking failure. 

I am requesting that Capital One honor the referral reward as per their program terms and provide a resolution for this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Re : Demand for Immediate Deletion of Student Loans Due to Department of Education Dissolution To Whom It May Concern, I am formally disputing the student loan accounts reported under my name due to material changes in federal student loan administration following the executive order issued by XXXX XXXX to abolish the U.S. Department of Education. This unprecedented action has created substantial uncertainty regarding the legitimacy, ownership, and enforceability of student loan debts that were previously under the purview of the Department of Education. 

Accounts in Dispute : The pics is listed below as attached Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) XXXX U.S.C. XXXX, you are legally required to report only accurate and verifiable information. Given the federal dissolution of the agency responsible for these loans, the chain of custody, legal authority, and servicing legitimacy of these accounts are in question. There is no verified entity authorized to validate, collect, or report these debts. 
# # # Legal Basis for Immediate Deletion : 1. Lack of Credible Verification With the dissolution of the Department of Education, there is no legally valid entity that can verify the accuracy, ownership, or collection rights of these loans.

2. Material Change in Federal Oversight The entity responsible for these loans no longer exists, rendering past reporting structures invalid.

3. Potential Violations of the FCRA Reporting unverifiable debts is a direct violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ). 
I am demanding the immediate deletion of these accounts from my credit report. If these accounts are not removed, I will escalate this matter with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and initiate legal proceedings as necessary to enforce my rights under federal law. 
Please provide me with a written response confirming the removal of these accounts within 30 days as required by law. Failure to comply will result in further action. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX. XXXX

On XX/XX/XXXXXXXX I used the Capital One Offers website to accept an offer to purchase a product through a vendor, XXXX. The attached screenshot shows the offer was " total spend more than {$670.00}, receive XXXX miles. '' The only published exclusion was that it is for new customers only, which I was. I purchased the product ( receipt attached ) using an XXXX XXXX card because as the Capital One Offers website states, " you may use a non-Capital One card to complete online offers. '' After making the purchase and not receiving the offer, I called Capital One in XXXX and was instructed to wait three billing cycles for the offer to fully track. I called again on XX/XX/XXXX and was told because the shopping trip is " inactive '' and I used a non-Capital One card, they could not honor the offer terms. They would not grant the XXXX miles nor would they provide a credit to my Capital One card. I did everything correctly according to the offer terms ( new XXXX customer, no other shopping portals or coupons used, used a card that is allowable according to the Capital One terms and conditions, paid in USD and for a U.S. address ) and they are not fulfilling their end of the offer. The representative even stated on the call that despite their website saying you can use a non-Capital One card, if an offer doesn't track, they can't do anything about it. That is not stated on their website anywhere. I tried offering to email my receipt, screenshot of the offer, and XXXX XXXX statement. They would not allow me to submit evidence or open a case for review.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding the unauthorized deletion of multiple satisfactory student loan accounts from my credit report, which has significantly harmed the accuracy and integrity of my credit history. 

Specifically, Equifax removed XXXX ( XXXX ) Aidvantage student loan accounts from my credit file. These accounts had been in good standing and represented over XXXX years of positive credit history. In XXXX, these accounts were clearly present on my Equifax report, and I have retained documentation to prove this. However, after submitting a request to simply update the payment status to reflect no late payments, Equifax inexplicably and inappropriately deleted the accounts entirely. 

This is not what I requested, and it is a gross mishandling of my credit information. I did not ask for these accounts to be removed ; I only sought an accurate correction to payment history. These accounts were vital to my credit age and score, and their removal is unjustified and detrimental. 

I am demanding that Equifax immediately restore all XXXX XXXX student loan accounts to my credit file with the correct reporting status. Their deletion is both a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and an irresponsible act that impacts my ability to secure credit fairly. 

I am requesting the CFPB 's immediate assistance in holding Equifax accountable and ensuring my full and accurate credit history is restored.

Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) : No adverse items of information should appear on my report if they date back more than seven years, unless they are criminal convictions. These items are outdated and must be removed immediately.
