Complaint narrative:
Complaint Summary : I am reporting a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding unauthorized credit inquiries that appear on my XXXX  credit report. The companies involved are XXXX XXXX, XXXX. and Bread Financial/Comenity Capital Bank . 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed written dispute letters to both companies requesting the removal of the following unauthorized hard inquiries : XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. ) Dated XX/XX/XXXX COMENITYCAPITAL/FOREVER21 Dated XX/XX/XXXX COMENITYCAPITAL/XXXX  Dated XX/XX/XXXX I did not authorize or initiate any credit applications with these companies. My personal information has been compromised in prior data breaches, and I believe these inquiries may be linked to identity theft. 

Despite my written disputes, I have received no response from the companies. Additionally, when I initially disputed the inquiries with XXXX, they marked the inquiries as factual and instructed me to contact the creditors fraud departments directly. 

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i of the FCRA, I have the right to dispute inaccurate or unauthorized information and receive a timely investigation and written response. As of today ( over 30 days since mailing ), I have not received any documentation proving I authorized these inquiries, nor any resolution or update.

" I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purp
ose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

EQUIFAX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — Changes in loan terms during or after closing
Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, my husband and I purchased a home with financing through M & T Bank. Upon selling this home in XXXX, we were unexpectedly charged {$100000.00} for a second mortgage, allegedly stemming from a loan modification. This charge was never disclosed to us, nor was it properly executed under XXXX  law, which mandates that significant changes such as loan modifications involving an increase in debt load must be closed by an attorney. 

Specific Issues : Undisclosed Loan Modification Charge : The loan modification that added significant fees to our mortgage was never properly disclosed or explained to us as required by XXXX law. There was no documentation or closing conducted by an attorney, which is a requirement under XXXX law for such transactions. 

Violation of XXXX Fair Lending Act : Under the Georgia Fair Lending Act ( Ga. Code Ann. , 7-6A-1 et seq. ), lenders are required to provide clear and comprehensive disclosures regarding the terms and conditions of any loan modification. The failure of M & T Bank to engage a XXXX attorney to close the modification and their failure to provide transparent disclosure of the added fees constitutes a violation of this act. 

Lack of Transparency and Fair Dealing : The unexpected financial burden placed upon us at the point of sale without prior notice or proper legal procedure suggests a serious breach of the duty of transparency and fair dealing expected from financial institutions.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ) says ( XXXX ) 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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
In early XX/XX/year>, I contacted the collection agency XXXX multiple times to resolve a rental debt originally owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with an agent named XXXX XXXX ( Extension XXXX ), who told me that the original creditor refused to settle for less than the full balance. I explained that I was experiencing serious financial hardship due to a recent medical diagnosis, and I could not take on additional debt. Despite this, XXXX XXXX repeatedly pressured me to use a credit card to make the payment. I clearly stated I was not comfortable with that, but he continued pushing. I have recordings of these calls. 

I later received a call from a supervisor ( Extension XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX, who claimed the original creditor only approved a settlement of $ XXXX though I had email documentation from the original creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX confirming they would accept {$1800.00}. XXXX was XXXX XXXX on that email. 

Due to the ongoing pressure and misleading information, I reluctantly paid {$2200.00} on XX/XX/year>, just to end the stress. I feel I was misled and pressured into overpaying, and I want this behavior investigated.

CFPB Complaint Follow-Up ( XX/XX/XXXX ) : I am following up on my complaint regarding unauthorized Card Security Debt Cancellation charges on my CareCredit/Synchrony Bank account XXXX 

As of today, I have still not received the full account statements I formally requested from Synchrony Bank. These are essential to understanding the full extent of charges applied to my account since I opened it in XXXX. Without this documentation, I can not accurately verify how much has been charged or determine if further unauthorized charges occurred. 

Despite this, Synchrony has only issued a partial refund of {$1000.00} and is treating the matter as resolved. I strongly disagree with that position. 

I will add the letter they sent me while I was on vacation last week.

I discovered multiple unauthorized hard inquiries on my TransUnion credit report that I did not initiate, authorize, or consent to.

I am requesting the immediate deletion of these inquiries and an updated credit report reflecting their removal. Continued reporting of these inquiries would be a violation of federal law and my consumer rights.
