Company: BMO BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I mailed a check to Diners Club for my outstanding balance. I wrote on the check that it was final payment and I was cancelling the account and I also wrote that on the bill. I cut the card into several pieces and enclosed it in the envelope. The check cleared on XX/XX/year>. 
Despite that cancellation Diners Club charged me a new annual fee for the card after that and is charging me penalties and interest on the cancelled card. I have explained this numerous times on the telephone, but they do not listen, just demand payment. Now they have reported me to the credit bureaus. No charges have been made to the card. 

I might add that under this card I had been a member since the XXXX and never had a problem. I cancelled the card because of what I considered to be an egregious although legal late fee.which was more that the actual charge.

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

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the outcome of your investigation regarding the fraudulent account ( s ) or transaction ( s ) reported under my name. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681, I have the right to dispute inaccurate or fraudulent information on my credit report and to have it thoroughly investigated.

Despite my previous submission of a consumer fraud affidavit and supporting documentation, the investigation has not resolved the issue of identity theft related to my account ( s ). As a victim of identity theft, I have been subjected to unfair financial harm, and the reported information remains inaccurate.

I am requesting a reinvestigation of the matter, as I believe that the response provided did not fully address or resolve the fraudulent activity. Additionally, I expect that this disputed item be marked as in dispute on my credit report, per FCRA regulations, while the investigation is reopened.

Please be advised that under the FCRA, you are required to complete this reinvestigation within 30 days and provide me with a written notice of your findings. If the fraudulent activity is not removed or corrected within that time frame, I will consider further legal action, as permitted by the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and other applicable consumer protection laws.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a timely resolution and the removal of this fraudulent information from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their continuous failure to address my dispute letters concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
