Consumer complaint received 2024-08-31 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: MoneyLion Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I have formally disputed inaccuracies in my credit report directly with the credit bureaus. However, instead of rectifying the errors, MoneyLion has reported additional incorrect information. Consequently, there are now demonstrably false entries in my credit report. This situation suggests either a lack of proper record-keeping on their part or a deliberate attempt to misreport information, potentially to deter challenges to their inadequate record management. 

The reported date of the first major delinquency as XX/XX/XXXX is incorrect. The loan in question was discharged in XX/XX/XXXX under XXXX XXXX XXXX, as evidenced by Exhibit 1. Additionally, comments have been added to my report with other bureaus stating that the debt was settled and paid in full for less than owed, which is inaccurate. The debt was discharged in XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and was never settled prior.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I noticed a fraudulent transaction on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account with Barclays Bank Delaware, on XX/XX/year>. The transaction, totaling {$3000.00}, was not authorized by me. I immediately reported it to the credit card company on XX/XX/year>. After their initial investigation, they concluded that the charge was legitimate, a finding with which I strongly disagreed. 

I requested a re-investigation and provided all necessary information to support my claim. Despite my repeated follow-ups, the re-investigation has been dragging on for XXXX weeks, with no resolution in sight. The company has been unresponsive and has not provided me with updates on the status of my case. 

This ongoing delay has caused me significant stress and concern, especially regarding potential damage to my credit score. I am filing this complaint because I believe the credit card company has failed to properly address and resolve the issue, and I am seeking assistance from the CFPB to ensure that a thorough and fair investigation is conducted and that the fraudulent charge is removed from my account.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of 2023, I refinanced my home mortgage and the mortgage company sent a check for {$5800.00} directly to Synchrony bank to pay down my credit card balance. The check was cashed on XX/XX/year>2023 by Synchrony Bank but was never credited to my account. I opened a dispute and Synchrony Bank gave me a temporary credit until I provided a copy of the cashed check, which I uploaded multiple times to their site. When I called Synchrony customer service to follow-up, they stated that they had not received the copy of the check and recommended that I fax it to them, which I did. In XX/XX/year>2023, they closed the dispute and added the charges back to my account.

I am attaching my statements, the cashed check, and the proof of the fax transmission to Synchrony Bank.

On XX/XX/year>, after XXXX XXXX I mobile deposited through the Wells Fargo Mobile Banking app my payroll check for {$3300.00} from the state of California postdated for XX/XX/XXXX.

The next day I received a message from the bank via their app, in a section of the app which is not visible or easily accessible, stating that a hold had been put on the funds because it was post-dated. The bank then withdrew the {$400.00} dollars I had been credited. I called the bank and spoke to XXXX representatives who could not give me any reason for the hold other than it being post-dated to the XXXX which was the present day. I explained that I needed the money to my rent but continued to repeat that they could not do anything because it was post dated to today 's date.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

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.
