Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am attaching a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as a result of such theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : NAME / ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately blocked from my credit report. This block should remain in effect for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported. 
I have contacted XXXX  multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive resolution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely affecting me as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my economic growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm.

These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit agencies, so I do not understand why this agency continues to assert that these accounts belong to me.

I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than 60 days, I have not received any response. I respectfully request your assistance in removing these accounts immediately.

Complaint narrative:
I recently reviewed my consumer report and identified several inaccuracies that must be corrected immediately. These errors have caused me significant distress, and I demand swift resolution to ensure my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) are upheld. I demand that the accounts, inquiries and personal information should be removed because creditors are not taking further compliance with my request in line with the FCRA. Failure to comply with these demands will result in further action to protect my rights and hold the creditors accountable for their egregious actions. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! ( list all accounts, inquiries and Pi that you couldn't put on the FTc report ). Please see the attached file.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally requesting an immediate re-investigation into several unauthorized credit inquiries listed on my credit report. These inquiries were made without my consent and have negatively impacted my credit score.

I previously contacted your agency and was assured that these inquiries would be removed. However, they still appear on my report. This ongoing inaction is unacceptable and raises serious concerns regarding potential identity theft.

To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting!

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to request immediate intervention due to serious violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) by Equifax lnformation Services LLC. Despite previous requests for correction, these violations continue to negatively impact my credit report and financial standing.

Details of the Complaint : 9. Failure to Ensure Maximum Possible Accuracy The FCRA requires that credit bureaus and creditors ensure the accuracy of the information they report. My credit report contains inaccurate entries from 1 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 2 ) -XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 3 ) -XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, 4 ) XXXX # XXXX, 5 ) XXXX XXXX that remain unverified despite formal disputes, causing significant harm to my credit score and credibility. Previous attempts to address these inaccuracies have been inadequately handled, demonstrating a failure to uphold FCRA standards for accuracy.

10. Inadequate Investigation and Reliance on Automated Verification Systems Under FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) and 1681s-2, creditors and credit bureaus must conduct thorough investigations of disputed information. However, my previous disputes have been met with automated responses through systems like XXXX, which fail to meet legal requirements for a complete investigation. This approach neglects a comprehensive review of the disputed entries, perpetuating inaccurate information on my report.

11. Non-Compliance with Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Requirements As outlined in TILA, creditors must issue clear and accurate billing statements and disclose essential account information to consumers. Equifax lnformation Services LLC has not adhered to TILA requirements in handling my account, resulting in erroneous charges and inaccurate reporting. This failure to comply with TILA has compounded the inaccuracies on my credit report, further violating my rights as a consumer.

12. Violation of FDCPA Standards for Accuracy and Non-Deceptive Practices The FDCPA mandates that debt collectors and furnishers of information must report accurate, verifiable data. The accounts in question have been repeatedly reported inaccurately, with misleading information that has not been corrected despite my disputes, constituting a violation of FDCPA protections.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with accessing funds from my Cash App account. 
I had multiple two Cash App accounts. Recently, when I went to get my tires fixed, the shop required cash payment. They had an ATM on site, so I tried to withdraw the money using my Cash App card ( the card labeled Little XXXX XXXX ). However, I realized that the card was not activated. 
To pay for the service, I logged into my other Cash App account and completed the payment. Since then, I have been unable to log back into my original Cash App account. I have called customer service multiple times, but I keep being told that my account is locked. Now, I cant even download or access the app on my phone. 
There is around {$80.00} in my locked account, and I would like to recover these funds. I can provide any information needed to verify my identity and account ownership. 
Thank you for your help. 
Best regards,
