Complaint narrative:
After receiving notice from Equifax that my personal information was compromised in a confirmed data breach, I discovered multiple unauthorized and fraudulent accounts appearing on my credit report. I immediately contacted Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax to dispute these accounts and submitted documentation supporting that these debts were not incurred by me. 

Despite my disputes, all three credit bureaus verified the information without providing any supporting documentation from the furnishers. This failure to properly investigate and validate the accuracy of these accounts violates : 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) : Duty to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 USC 1681e ( b ) : Duty to ensure maximum possible accuracy 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) : Right to a description of verification procedures 15 USC 1692g and 1692e ( 8 ) : Duty of furnishers to validate debts and not report false information The continued reporting of these fraudulent accounts has caused significant harm, including denials of credit, emotional distress, and financial hardship. Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax have failed to comply with federal law by allowing unverifiable and inaccurate information to remain.

I respectfully request that the CFPB compel the credit bureaus and furnishers to provide full validation of each disputed account or immediately delete them from my credit reports to restore the integrity of my consumer file.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute several unauthorized hard inquiries appearing on my consumer credit report. These inquiries were not authorized by me in writing, nor do they appear to serve any permissible purpose as defined under 15 U.S.C. 1681b of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
I have never given written consent to the companies responsible for these inquiries to access or obtain my credit report. Because the FCRA requires that a consumers credit file only be accessed with a legitimate permissible purpose and written authorization, these inquiries represent violations of my consumer rights under federal law. 
Accordingly, I am demanding that your agency : XXXX. Conduct a full investigation into each disputed hard inquiry ; XXXX. Provide the name, address, and permissible purpose of every entity that obtained my credit file ; and XXXX. Delete all unauthorized inquiries that can not be verified as having a valid written authorization or permissible purpose under 15 U.S.C. 1681b. 
Please be advised that failure to comply with the FCRAs provisions may subject your agency and the furnishers of this information to civil liability under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o. 
I expect written confirmation of your investigation and an updated credit report reflecting any deletions within 30 days of your receipt of this dispute, per FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ).

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I pulled a copy of my consumer report and notified these agencies on XX/XX/year> about some items I disputed. XXXX was not taken into this matter as it has yet to be resolved in a manner that is FAIR and EQUITABLE to me, the consumer, per the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations. I sent off my notice to these agencies which included a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  complaint, State Attorney General ( SAG ) complaint, as well as I filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). I delineated what violations these agencies perpetrated under the FCRA, while notifying the agencies that these items were reported without my explicit, written agreement. This results in identity theft, constituting a breach of the civil liability provisions of the FCRA, as previously communicated in the attached notice for your records.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because I disputed inaccurate or incomplete information on my consumer report with a consumer reporting agency. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Fair Credit Reporting Act 611 ), the agency is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation, free of charge, within 30 days of receiving my dispute, to determine whether the information is inaccurate. The agency must notify the data furnisher, review and verify the accuracy of the information, and delete or correct it if it can not be verified. The agency must also provide me with written results of the reinvestigation, including a copy of my corrected consumer report, and notify me of my right to add a statement of dispute. 

In my case, the agency did not comply with these requirements. It failed to complete a reasonable reinvestigation and/or did not correct or delete unverifiable information within 30 days. I am requesting that the CFPB review this matter and ensure the consumer reporting agency fulfills its obligations under 15 U.S.C. 1681i.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has reinserted the same XXXX XXXX account that was previously deleted following my dispute. This is now the second reinsertion of the same fraudulent account, which I have repeatedly reported as resulting from identity theft and directly linked to the XXXX data breach that compromised my personal information. 

I was not provided any written notice of the reinsertion or any documentation supporting its accuracy. The information remains inaccurate and misleading, as it reports XXXX payments on time for an account that does not belong to me. 

This conduct violates multiple provisions of the FCRA, including : FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) Reinsertion without written notice to the consumer within five ( 5 ) business days.

FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) Failure to block identity theftrelated information after receiving an FTC Identity Theft Report.

FCRA 607 ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of information.

Requested Action : 1. Permanently delete the XXXX XXXX account and block any future reinsertion. 
2. Provide written confirmation of compliance with 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) and all documentation or certification used to justify the reinsertion.

3. Review XXXX reinsertion and identity theft blocking procedures to ensure FCRA compliance.

4. Issue a written explanation confirming the corrective action taken and the date of deletion.

Equifax repeated reinsertion of inaccurate and fraudulent information after confirming that my data was exposed in their breach demonstrates willful noncompliance and ongoing harm to my credit profil

Complaint narrative:
on XX/XX/XXXX, I witnessed my bank making a transaction through Cash app that I did not authorize. I immediately contact the cash app to stop the process. At the time I was not able to communicate with a live agent. I was communicating with the computer. And immediately at XXXX XXXX I called to file a complaint with a live agent as well, and they went on with the process and told me in so many words that because the scammer or the person that pulled the fraud used a block chain method. To scam my money its impossible to track or to receive my money or help me with compensation. Even though I explained to them, this is not my behavior in transactions. I have been dealing with Cash app. After tens of thousands worth of transactions and never was this my behavior to purchase any bitcoin or even send those type of transactions to anyone I felt like there should have been more ways to protect your money for them to be a third party company with the consent of my debit card. But it proved once again that cash app fails to properly support their clients so I was given the opportunity to appeal and they was making it real difficult for me to contact anybody to appeal. Theyre giving me the runaround and so by listening. to the Cash App computer I heard about you guys and how Cash App made an agreement. To offer this type of support through you. So Im doing my part by making my complaint and hoping I can be relieved from my losses.
