Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as " Federal - XXXXVERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court XXXX XXXX XXXX that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I bought a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX under their XXXX exchange/repair promise. On Day XXXX, XXXX XXXX confirmed a defect. I chose to exchange the vehicle, selected a replacement with a XXXX representative, and was told Id get a call back that never came. 

Afterward, my XXXX dashboard removed the vehicle and my Bridgecrest online account was closed after my first payment, making it impossible to make payments despite my repeated chats and calls. Needing transportation, I paid {$1600.00} for repairs out of pocket. 

Through XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX representatives still discussed an exchange and the contract status appeared unclear because neither XXXX nor Bridgecrest showed an active loan/account for my VIN. Then XXXXBridgecrest demanded I sign a new, back-dated contract and pay months of retroactive payments that accrued only because their systems removed my account and blocked payments. When I refused to assume back-dated obligations caused by them, the vehicle was repossessed, which embarrassed me and damaged my credit. 

Why this is wrong XXXX did not honor its XXXX exchange/repair commitment and failed to resolve the access/administration problem that prevented me from paying. 

Bridgecrest attempted to enforce back-dated charges while my loan was not available to pay in their system, then repossessed and furnished negative credit data arising from their own servicing failures. 

I dispute the accuracy and completeness of any negative reporting tied to this account and the reasonableness of any investigation into my disputes. 

What I want ( resolution ) Compensation for loss of the vehicle ( the collateral ) caused by their errorseither : Payment equal to the vehicles Fair Market Value ( FMV ) as of the repossession/surrender date, or A comparable replacement vehicle of equivalent XXXX  at no cost to me. 
( I am prepared to substantiate XXXX with XXXX at XXXX applicable date. ) Reimbursement of my {$1600.00} repair expense and return of any payments/fees I made on this account. 

Full deletion of any negative credit reporting and closure at {$0.00} with no deficiency, with written confirmation to me and the CRAs. 

A written explanation and permanent correction of internal records reflecting my XXXX exchange request and the account access failure that prevented me from paying. 

Documents I can provide XXXX XXXX invoice and {$1600.00} receipt ; XXXXBridgecrest XXXX XXXX call notes ; screenshots showing the account/dashboard removal ; repo paperwork ; recent credit reports showing the derogatory tradeline.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because American Express continues to report and mischaracterize fraudulent accounts opened in my name. Three unauthorized credit card accounts were opened without my consent. I filed disputes directly with American Express and with the credit bureaus. 

Despite providing an FTC Identity Theft Report ( Report No. XXXX ) and a police report, American Express denied two of the three fraud disputes, claiming that I benefited from the cards because of a XXXX XXXX charge. I have never flown XXXX XXXX in my life. Their proof is inaccurate and does not establish that I authorized or used the accounts. 

All three major credit bureaus ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) have since deleted the fraudulent accounts based on my FTC and police reports, which shows that Amexs fraud determination is inconsistent and unsupported. Amex deleted one account but refuses to remove two others, which violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 605B ) and leaves me vulnerable to re-reporting. 

I am requesting that CFPB compel American Express to : 1. Permanently close and delete all three fraudulent accounts. 
2. Cease sending inaccurate benefited from use denial letters. 
3. Confirm in writing that none of these accounts will be reinserted on my credit reports.
