Complaint narrative:
As a direct result of a recent data breach, my personally identifiable information was compromised and misused without my knowledge or consent. This led to the appearance of unauthorized accounts, unfamiliar credit inquiries, and inaccurate late payment entries on my credit report all of which I did not initiate, authorize, or recognize. I am formally requesting a comprehensive reinvestigation into these accounts and inquiries under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ), and I ask that all inaccurate, unverifiable, or fraudulent information be permanently removed from my credit file.

Complaint narrative:
Equifaxs repeated failure to address my disputes with care and thoroughness is now more than just negligenceit has become a pattern, one that echoes the same serious concerns the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has already investigated. I will not allow my credit file to remain stained by errors that Equifax has failed to verify or remove, especially when that failure comes at a direct cost to my well-being and future. You have an obligation to treat consumer disputes seriously, and yet it feels as though my concerns have been dismissed entirely.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i, Equifax is legally required to reinvestigate all disputed items within 30 days, and to delete any information that can not be fully and independently verified. That means verifiable proofnot assumptions, not recycled data from unreliable sources. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ), any information found to be incomplete, inaccurate, or unverifiable must be corrected or removed entirely. I am demanding immediate corrective action, not another automated response. If you fail to do your job now, I will escalate this matter through every available channel. You are not just mishandling datayou are mishandling lives.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX sold my mortgage loan to Mr. Cooper this year XXXX, and Mr. Cooper keeps deducting Lender Paid Expenses of {$15.00} from my loan payments. {$15.00} on XX/XX/XXXX this one was fixed, but then I see XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I keep having to tell them to pay the monthly payment and all extra payments go to the principle. So reversals happen and then later on a {$15.00} fee pops up. They told me the XX/XX/XXXX was for a property inspection and that one was put back into principle, so why are we still charging me these fees when I am not responsible for fee associated with Mr. Cooper purchasing my loan. They also need to fix there system so that I can manually change the extra monthly payment to principle like it says I can, but always gives me an error.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, a fraudulent charge of {$1400.00} was processed on my Fidelity credit card issued by XXXX XXXX XXXX. This charge was made on an old card number ending in XXXX, which had already been deactivated due to suspicious activity. I reported the fraud to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and the charge was placed in dispute. 

XXXX later denied the dispute, stating the charge was initially declined but then processed successfully. I do not recognize this charge, did not authorize it, and received no benefit from it. 

The merchant was XXXX XXXX. I contacted them on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to obtain an order number, delivery address, or any proof of purchase. They refused or were unable to provide any information, further confirming this was a fraudulent transaction. 

I also filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) to document the incident. The FTC Report XXXX is XXXX. 

I am requesting CFPB assistance in reopening this case and holding XXXX XXXX accountable for processing a charge on a card that should have been inactive.
