Complaint narrative:
EQUIFAX has repeatedly violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by reporting inaccurate and unauthorized inquiry on my credit report, despite multiple complaints and disputes.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a telephone call from ( XXXX ) XXXX. Did not answer. The voicemail they left said I needed to call ( XXXX ) XXXX to discuss a pending matter over which a claim was about to be filed. I called that number ( I am an XXXX  and did not feel I could just ignore it ). Someone who claimed to be XXXX XXXX picked up ( I asked her name ). She said she was from a law firm in XXXX, Texas named " XXXXXXXX XXXX  '' ( I did not catch what came after the " and ''. She provided an address, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Texas XXXX XXXX. I can find no law firm with the moniker " XXXX '' at that address when I do a XXXX search. 

This individual claimed that I owed a debt of some {$1800.00} on an overdraft checking account with US Bank. She did have the last four of my social and what sounded like my XXXX  Driver 's license number ( I now live in XXXX  ). To my knowledge -- and I told her this -- I have never banked at US Bank or opened an account there. I asked to speak to the attorney handling the case and she refused. I pushed and eventually she said the attorneys there charge by the hour and I could speak to them if I wanted to be billed. Of course, it would be completely inappropriate and a violation ( of probably every state 's ) legal ethics for a law firm representing a plaintiff to charge a purported defendant adverse to that plaintiff to speak to the attorney. She said it sounded like I was disputing the debt and I would have to handle it in small claims. I asked for the website for her firm and she put me on a hold and then the call dropped.

I called US Bank and spoke to their fraud and debt collection department. They confirmed in their records that no account has ever been opened under my social security with them that they could see. The man in the debt collection department said that not since 2012 had US Bank sold overdraft checking account debt to debt collectors ( which casts doubt on the claimed debt in this instance because of most state 's statute of limitations ).

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I filed a credit dispute with Experian regarding an auto loan account with XXXX XXXX XXXX that was inaccurately deleted from my credit report. The loan was paid in full after the dealership repurchased the vehicle. The account should reflect as closed and paid in full, not removed entirely.

After initiating my dispute, Experian dropped my credit score by over XXXX points with no new negative activity, no late payments, and no increase in utilization. As of XX/XX/scrub> 2025, my score dropped an additional XXXX points, despite no changes on my report or account activity.

In addition, none of my credit card accounts have updated, and I suspect Experian has suppressed or improperly removed tradelines from my credit file. I believe this is a form of punitive action or mishandling following my dispute.

I am requesting a full reinvestigation, restoration of all accurate tradelines, and a correction of any suppression or improper deletions caused by Experians handling of my credit report.
