Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a debt collection account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that appears on one of my credit bureau reports but not on the others. This situation raises concerns about the accuracy and fairness of credit reporting practices, potentially violating consumer protection laws.

The aforementioned debt collection account is currently reported on Experian and Transunion but is absent from my reports with XXXX This inconsistent reporting could affect my credit score and overall creditworthiness, leading to unfavorable financial consequences, such as higher interest rates or denial of credit.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), consumers have the right to expect accuracy and consistency in their credit reports across all
major credit bureaus. The fact that this debt is reported on one bureau but not the others suggests a potential violation of these rights.

I kindly request the CFPB to investigate this matter and ensure that all credit reporting agencies adhere to the FCRA 's guidelines.I request the removal of debt collection account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit report. 

I have attached copies of my credit reports from TransunionXXXX XXXX and Experian to illustrate the discrepancy. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a resolution that upholds my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Cash App due to the unjust closure of my account. I had trusted Cash App as one of my main banks and set up my direct deposit to it, along with requesting a card. Due to frequent travel for work, Cash App occasionally declined some transactions, which was inconvenient but understandable. My main issue began at XXXX XXXX when I tried to buy a ticket XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and discovered that XXXX XXXX did not honor the Cash App card. This was a significant concern, as I had not been made aware of this limitation. Consequently, a kind individual named XXXX XXXX paid {$360.00} for my ticket, which I reimbursed in cash, and also covered an additional {$40.00} for checked baggage. 

Later, at XXXX, I realized I had left my card at XXXX XXXX XXXX  and unauthorized transactions followed, including multiple charges at that restaurant, XXXX XXXX, and other places like XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. Despite my detailed evidence, including my boarding pass showing I was in New York at the time of the unauthorized charges, Cash App dismissed my claim as fraudulent and closed my account. Furthermore, when I tried to contact Cash App support for a second time, I was informed that I could not reach the decision-makers and that any appeal could take up to 30 days, with no further communication. This lack of transparency and support has left me feeling betrayed. I request the CFPBs assistance in reviewing this matter and ensuring a fair resolution.

Complaint narrative:
Your Name : XXXX XXXX Account Ending : XXXX Creditor Name : Crediterium Complaint : On XX/XX/year>, I verbally revoked ACH authorization for Crediterium to withdraw funds from my account ending in XXXX. Under 15 U.S.C. 1693e ( a ) and 12 C.F.R. 1005.10 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( Regulation E ), oral revocation is legally valid and binding. 

Despite my revocation, Crediterium debited my account after that date. On XX/XX/year> the withdrew XXXX .This withdrawal was therefore unauthorized under federal law. When I confronted Crediterium, they stated that revocation must be in writing per my contract, which is contrary to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act. 

I am requesting that Crediterium : 1. Refund the unauthorized debit ( s ) taken from my account after XX/XX/year>. 


2. Close my loan account and provide written confirmation that no further ACH debits will be attempted.

I have disputed the unauthorized debit with my financial institution ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), but I am filing this complaint because Crediterium has continued to misrepresent the law and refuses to honor my revocation. 

Requested Resolu

tion : Immediate refund of unauthorized ACH withdrawals. Closure of my loan account. 

Written confirmation that no future debits will occur.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute several inquiries listed on my credit report that I did not authorize. Upon reviewing my credit file, I noticed multiple inquiries from companies with whom I have never applied for credit or given permission to access my report. 
I have submitted dispute requests and provided documentation to support my claim, but the inquiries remain on my file without resolution. These unauthorized inquiries negatively impact my credit score and raise concerns about potential identity misuse or reporting errors. Despite my follow-ups, the issue has not been appropriately addressed. 
As a consumer, I have the right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe to be inaccurate or fraudulent. I am requesting that a full investigation be conducted to determine the origin and legitimacy of these inquiries.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this second complaint because my original complaint ( ID XXXX ) was closed without addressing the actual issue.

My original complaint stated that when I accepted an invitation to become a co-owner on my spouses Apple Card account, the invitation did not disclose that my own individual account would be closed, my separate credit line eliminated, and my credit history merged.

Goldman Sachss response was a generic restatement of account terms and did not address the core issue : the lack of disclosure and informed consent. They avoided the substance of my complaint and provided a non-responsive answer. 

It is unacceptable that CFPB marked my case Closed simply because the company replied. The company did not resolve my complaint, did not answer my allegations, and did not explain why critical disclosures were missing. 

Key issues requiring investigation : Why was there no disclosure that accepting the invitation would close my individual account? 
Why is a simple click treated as informed consent to terminate an account when consequences were not disclosed? 
Why does CFPB close complaints when companies avoid answering the core issue? 

Requested action : I request that CFPB re-open this matter, compel Goldman Sachs to address the disclosure failures directly, and treat this case as evidence of systemic violations of TILA, Regulation Z, and the CARD Act.

Complaint narrative:
The company is willfully furnishing false, inconsistent, and misleading information on my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, and Metro 2 reporting standards. The tradeline contains contradictory dates, account statuses, and payment histories across the credit reporting agencies, creating a materially inaccurate consumer file. I have made multiple written requests for verification in compliance with FCRA 607 ( b ) and 611, yet the company has failed to correct or validate the reporting. This ongoing inaccurate reporting is causing measurable harm to my creditworthiness and appears to be a deliberate act of negligent and/or willful noncompliance under FCRA 616 and 617, which entitles me to statutory, actual, and punitive damages.
