Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding inaccurate reporting of late payments on my credit report, which I believe violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As a consumer, I am concerned about the negative impact this misinformation has on my creditworthiness and overall financial well-being. 

Account : XXXXXXXX XXXX  ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX ACCOUNT XXXX  ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX ACCOUNT XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ACCOUNT XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX ACCOUNT XXXX  XXXX ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX ACCOUNT XXXX ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX ACCOUNT XXXX XXXX XXXX ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX ACCOUNT XXXX XXXX XXXX ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered discrepancies in the reporting of late payments that do not align with my payment history. According to Section 611 of the FCRA, consumer reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information provided in credit reports. The reported late payments are erroneous and misleading, significantly affecting my credit score and financial opportunities. 


I have previously contacted [ EXPERIAN ] on [ XX/XX/2023 ] to dispute these inaccuracies. Despite my efforts, the incorrect information remains on my credit report, causing undue harm to my creditworthiness and financial reputation. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter promptly and take appropriate action in accordance with the FCRA. I also ask that all inaccurate information related to the late payments be removed or corrected from my credit report. 


I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a resolution that ensures the accuracy of my credit report and protects my rights as a consumer. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I have been dealing with these last XXXX disputes since XX/XX/XXXX. I have reasserted them at least XXXX or XXXX  times. I requested on XX/XX/XXXX via phone conversation to send me the evidence they are using to come to the conclusion that these disputes are not fraud. I have yet to receive it. These disputes are of their own making from incompetent staff putting in the wrong case numbers. Now I would also like to complain about Goldman Sachs specialist they need training for sure. I was told by a Goldman Sachs specialist supervisor that these disputes were going to XXXX XXXX and this was on XX/XX/XXXX. This is all on their recordings that they love to do.You should also hear babies crying on those tapes. What kind of bank is this they are trying to take care of babies while trying to take care of customers! What a mess!! Then they added the charges for the disputes to my closed account. What happened to the XXXX  Arbitration? It is a LAW that after 2 reassertions of disputes they are to go to XXXX XXXX. XXXX has a rule that for fraud you will not be charged for unauthorized charges. They should not be issuing a card with XXXX name on it if are not willing to stand by it. That is corrupt business practices. My evidence is the same that I sent for the XXXX disputes that were ruled in my favor. This is called harassment. I have to agree with other customers that have filed complaints about Goldman Sachs. They are corrupt and you cant get away from them and they cant be trusted!!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I submitted information to XXXX XXXX XXXX to apply for pre-approval of our mortgage application. They completed a hard pull of mine and my wife 's credit reports. Later that day, my wife and I both started receiving nonstop unsolicited spam phone calls and text messages from people claiming to be affiliated with mortgage lenders, offering us credit, or falsely stating that we had begun the loan application process with them and they wanted us to continue. Over the course of the next 48 hours we have each received at least 100 different phone calls and text messages ( mostly phone calls ), despite blocking each new phone number when they call and don't leave a message.

When my wife answered the call from one of these people, they actually told her that they obtained her phone number and the fact that she had just applied for a mortgage loan from the credit reporting agencies. I believe this is an egregious breach of our confidentiality on the part of the credit reporting agencies. How can it possibly be lawful for these private entities to share our personal phone numbers and the fact that we applied for a mortgage with random solicitors, with whom we have no contact and have given no permission to access our credit files? I can only assume that the credit agencies are profiting off of this practice, and we want it to stop immediately.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of this year I legally changed my name. And name only everyone I have talked to including social security tells me my credit history is tied to social security number not my name. When I provided experian with my legal name documents they wiped out my credit history and score. I called them and they told me they dont move information from a old name to a new name they claim that credit info is not attached to the social security number. They said that I would have to have my creditors send them my history. Well a couple problems with that is most of its under my old name or the creditors claim they have no way of doing that. I spent allow of money and effort cleaning up and rebuilding my credit and they just erased it like a clerical error. 

My former name : XXXX XXXX XXXX My new name : XXXX XXXX

Company: Aqua Finance, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I financed my pool with a company called XXXX XXXX. They used Aqua Financial for the funding in XX/XX/XXXX. Original amount was {$80000.00}, monthly payment of {$1000.00} for 20 years. I have been making {$1000.00} payments every month and not a XXXX has come off my principal. I am only able to go back to XXXX of XXXX  since Aqua is now using a new online payment portal and they do not offer you all of you loan info. 
My daily interest accrual is {$30.00}. So every 31 day I accrue {$930.00}. I pay {$1000.00} on the XXXX of every month and they are not taking a XXXX off of my principal. I made an additional {$200.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX since my monthly payment had been removed so that the {$200.00} would go towards the principal. I looked online and it said I still owed {$180.00} in interest even after my monthly payment. I called and they said my {$200.00} will first go to pay off the {$180.00} and the remaining will go to principal. So, I cancelled the payment. Also starting in XXXX they started lowering my monthly payment by {$1.00}. Started as {$1000.00} in XXXX, then {$1000.00} in XXXX, {$1000.00} in XXXX, {$1000.00} in XXXX, {$990.00} in XXXX, {$990.00} in XXXX and XXXX is the same at {$990.00}. So why would you lower my monthly due when supposedly I am not even paying enough now to cover interest. Their statements do not show principal balance. 
I currently show owing {$78000.00}. By the time my next bill is due I will owe {$79000.00} with interest. So in over 2 years {$1100.00} has come off of my principal. {$1000.00} of that is because they posted a payment to my principal by mistake. So technically only {$110.00} has actually came off my principal. That is less than {$4.00} a month being taken off my principal. This is not right and probably illegal.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I'm drafting this because I have contacted the credit bureaus and the creditors and informed them that I've been an identity theft victim and there were fraudulent accounts reported on my credit report. Thus far, XXXX hasn't removed the fraudulent charges from my credit report. I don't have time to contact XXXX every day because when I get them, their representative tells me that they will remove the fraudulent account from my credit report, and then they don't do it. Or they'll let me know we filed for a dispute, and when I call back to check on my argument, they tell me it was never filed. XXXX is the most untrustworthy credit bureau ever. They report fraudulent accounts and fraudulent information to the credit bureau. They break the law by not following proper dispute procedures. In addition, their employees act as lawyers and pretend to know how they can interpret the law, which is vastly illegal because they're not lawyers. I followed the proper procedure and informed them through an identity theft report that I filed with the Federal Trade Commission that states and identifies which accounts are fraudulent and must be removed from the credit report. They continuously disregard my request when I tell them to dispute the fraudulent accounts and remove them from my credit report. Therefore, they deserve the harshest fines and punishment due to committing and being part of the fraud. Again, I'm not saying this to slander XXXX or the banks that opened fraudulent accounts under my name, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, and CB/Express . I'm merely stating that fraudulent accounts must be removed from my report.
