Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: CA

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> - Went to XXXX XXXX XXXX, in XXXX XXXX, Oregon, where I completed a loan application for a loan / prequalify for a mortgage. My loan XXXX was XXXX XXXX, she can be reached at ( XXXX ) XXXX. 

At or about XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX attempted to access my Equifax XXXX, when she attempted this, Equifax displayed information indicating there was a freeze on my Equifax Report. She then asked me to call Equifax, so that we could proceed with the approval process. 

At or about XXXX, I spoke with an Equifax Credit Representative XXXX who told me there was a freeze on my credit report. I explained that I had not put a freeze on my report, the representative was not sure how it got there, but said he would remove it immediately. They asked me to have the banker to try again in a few minutes. The banker tried again at XXXX and then again on XX/XX/year>. Still my Equifax Credit Report could not be accessed by the XXXX XXXX. 

At XXXX, I once again contacted Equifax Credit and the representative told me that the credit report was frozen and that I needed to mail a copy of my driver 's license and social security card to them prior to allowing 3rd party access to my Equifax Credit Report . The Equifax representative also explained that it normally takes XXXX days after receipt of requested copies to unfreeze my report. 

This action by Equifax appears to be retaliatory for my previous complaint with CFPB # XXXX, dated XX/XX/year>. The impact of this retaliatory act will mean any loan applications and/or approvals will be on hold for XXXX weeks. This has a serious impact on my financial outlook and will possibly cost me a potential home purchase.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a complaint with cfpb ( complaint # XXXX & # XXXX ) regarding an unauthorized credit inquiry from multiple finance companies at XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX CA. On XX/XX/XXXX, they ran my credit without my permission, and I was not there to purchase a vehicle nor co-signing for anyone. I was with a family member, XXXX XXXX, who had a pre-approval letter from his personal bank, XXXX XXXX, which was presented to the salesman and was verified by his finance manager. The salesman said they needed a contact person 's information for backup. So, I gave him my ID. He and his manager took it upon themselves to run my credit as if I was going to co-sign for my son. All this happened on XX/XX/XXXX. The salesman brought back a re- written contract with a higher interest rate of 15 % and {$900.00} for the monthly payments. I immediately told my son not to sign that paper. We told the salesman what he did, and we excused ourselves and left. At least a week later, I decided to check my credit report, as I do on a regular basis, and noticed that I had XXXX hard inquiries. I was devastated. Once I figured out what had happened, I contacted the dealership, and they told me they could do nothing and it will come off in 2 years. They missed the whole point. I never applied for credit with any of them, and they definitely did not have my permission to do so. l never filled out anybody 's credit application nor did I sign anything. XXXX of the XXXX finance companies who unlawfully ran my credit without permission were XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX are still on my credit report. The action has tainted my credit in a very negative way. 15 U.S.C. 604 A section 2 states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. 15 USC 1681 states that in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, these creditors have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality. See my son, XXXX XXXX 's approval letter attached.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
As a long time customer with a record of not saving receipts and stupidly does not check statements every month, i am guessing people inside capital one take advantage and add small fraudulent charges. I think they have been doing this for a few years, starting with a restaurant in a city in the same state and charged me a small amount monthly. I disputed and it was weirdly difficult to stop the monthly charges to a restaurant hours away from a grocery store i bought items at near the same time. I think they got smarter and hid the fraudulent transactions better. I caught on today because of mismatched numbers due to a glitch in their system and an agent lying to me and changing numbers on my account as I looked at it. Whoever in capital one made the fraudulent charges may not live in the united states, because they don't understand the size of a state.
