Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Company: Lendtable Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for Lentable XXXX maximum match reimbursement. All I have to do is to contribute the max percentage of my company will match so I can get the full benefits of the matching. In return they reimburse the extra money that I contribute to get the 6 percent match. Originally I accept the XXXX dollars monthly fee. For example if I contribute another XXXX dollars more to reach the 6 percent match. They will reimburse me XXXX dollars minus the XXXX dollars fee every month. And on top of that I will owe them 20 percent from the money I make on my retirement or if I quit my job. Recently they raise the monthly fee to XXXX dollars so all the money I contribute to my hit the maximum match is getting taken by them every month plus I'm still owe them at the end. Today XX/XX/year> I received a email that to be able to continue the service I need to pay half of what I owe them from the XXXX match plus the reimbursement. Or if I choose to stop using the service I need to pay all of them in one lumpsum. They want me to repay them from my retirement account that will put me in a big financial burden. I believed that they're taking advantage of all the people that is sign up for this service. I cant pay this and I want to end this financial burden. I need help to investigate if they're violating the law. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding an issue with the personal data on my credit report, which I believe is not being handled in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under Section 1681g. 
On XX/XX/year>, I sent a written request to Experian to correct or remove inaccurate personal data from my credit report. My request was based on the FCRA requirement that consumers have the right to accurate information on their credit reports. The specific inaccuracies in question include my one and only name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and not the many variations they have such as XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Unverified accounts, no documents used to verify has been provided despite my requests : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Incorrect Addresses : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Correct address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Hard Inquiry not authorized. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In my initial letter and phone call on XX/XX/year>, I provided all necessary verification documents as stipulated under the FCRA to support my request. These documents included a copy of my social security, passport, and utility bill. Despite providing these documents, Experian has failed to take appropriate action to rectify the inaccuracies.

The failure to correct or remove this incorrect data is causing significant distress and may negatively impact my creditworthiness. As per the FCRA, I am entitled to accurate information and timely resolution of such disputes, and I have yet to receive a satisfactory response or resolution from the credit reporting agency.

I respectfully request the CFPBs assistance in ensuring that my request is processed correctly. Specifically, I seek the following : 1. A prompt review and correction of the inaccuracies on my credit report as per my initial request.

2. Confirmation that all required verification documents have been received and appropriately reviewed.

3. A formal update on the status of my request and any actions taken by the credit reporting agency.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.
