Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute with XXXX around XX/XX/year> regarding a Portfolio Recovery collection account for {$1200.00}. Instead of providing validation or resolving the dispute, the company responded by lowering the balance by {$1.00} and re-reporting it to XXXX. I did not make a payment, and I was not provided any documentation proving the debt. I believe this update was meant to manipulate the reporting date and avoid removal.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: FORD MOTOR CREDIT CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I entered into a vehicle financing agreement with XXXX XXXX for a new XXXX XXXX XXXX. Due to financial hardship, I was unable to continue making payments, and on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX charged off the account with a balance of approximately {$37000.00}. In XX/XX/XXXX, they retained the law firm XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to collect on the account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed for XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy, and this account was formally included in that bankruptcy filing. Despite this, XXXX XXXX continues to report the account as a charge-off with an active balance, failing to reflect the legal protections afforded under bankruptcy, including a proper " Included in Bankruptcy '' status with XXXX balance, in accordance with XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting standards and FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a written dispute directly to XXXX XXXX, and on XX/XX/XXXX, filed a formal complaint with the CFPB ( Case # XXXX ). XXXX XXXX responded on XX/XX/XXXX, but refused to remove or properly correct the tradeline. Their response failed to include any meaningful documentation verifying the accuracy of the tradeline or its legal standing after bankruptcy. 

In addition to the continued inaccurate credit reporting, I am also requesting the following as part of this dispute : The complete chain of validation of debt ownership and assignment, including any third-party involvement since the charge-off. 

A copy of the full payment history on this account, as maintained by the original creditor. 

A copy of the original retail installment contract or purchase agreement related to this financing. 

A statement confirming whether any insurance claim, bond payout, or debt cancellation coverage has been applied or recovered on this debt. 

To date, none of these validation items have been provided, and continued reporting without proper verification constitutes a violation of FCRA 1681i and potential harm under the bankruptcy code.

I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter, compel XXXX XXXX to comply with federal credit reporting laws, and enforce either the permanent correction or deletion of this tradeline from all consumer reporting agencies.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  someone used leaked data ( SSN ) to apply and receive a federal Student loan from XXXX for a school name XXXX XXXX XXXX in NO Louisiana. They Used incorrect emails, addresses, and phone numbers, and even a incorrect DOB. XXXX still loaned out the money, I then did a fraud alert, wrote a police report, and filed with the FTC, I found out later on, that the original incorrect information had still been on record ( despite XXXX " adjusting '' it ) and at the time the loan was accepted my address had been registered to XXXX and XXXX, NOT New Mexico. After an exhaustive battle for almost 2 years XXXX and XXXX have both taken steps to start removing this but, not Experian, they force me to call a number, that tells me I cant file a dispute over the phone, then on the website they make me call a number in which I'm repeatedly hung up on. I have successfully filed multiple dispute attempts with Experian in the past on this but, they keep denying. Today, on the date of XX/XX/XXXX it took me 3 hours to get a live person on the phone. every time I requested information on why I was denied despite the ample proof of this being fraud, they just transferred me, after an additional two hours of this, the woman HUNG UP on me. 

It seems to be they are attempting to dodge accountability and could be why on multiple consumer website Experian has a average customer service rating of XXXX *. 

A company like Experian and XXXX should not be immune to consequences simply because they are " contracted by the government '' XXXX XXXX has set the precedence that these companies are indeed not given blanket immunity.
