Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern : Please be advised this is my second request that in accordance with the FCRA I am enforcing my rights and seek relief and recover all monetary damages that I may be entitled to under Section 616 and Section 617 regarding your continued willful and negligent noncompliance. Despite two written requests, the unverified item listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation, you stated in writing that you " verified '' that these items are being " reported correctly '' ; but have not provided a reasonable method of verification? I request for the second time that you provide the method of verification you used along with my wet signature. A letter was never sent to my current address or verified. I requested the following information : 1. The name of the individual business address and telephone number of the person or business contacted during your reinvestigation. 
2. The name of the person who verified the dispute with the original creditor.

3. The documentation that was used to verify the dispute to date, you have NOT provided me a copy of ANY documentation ( Hard evidence that goes all the way back to the original creditor, not verification from a third-party database including my wet signature ).

Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). In fact, under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) you were required to provide a description of reinvestigation procedure. Under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to " ... promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. '' The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. I fully intend on enforcing my rights under the FCRA. I demand the following accounts be verified or deleted immediately.

Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: UPGRADE, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I secured an online personal loan from upgrade.com in XX/XX/XXXX. They gave me a rate reduction if I made the payment from an upgrade checking account. My first payment was due on XX/XX/XXXX. That payment was made on time. I have made the following subsequent payments to the loan on the following dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. All payments were made ahead of the due date. In late XXXX I was receiving collection calls from upgrade. I logged into the upgrade app, it showed I was delinquent even though I was ahead in my payments and I called them and spoke to XXXX. She stated it appeared to be a system error, and that she escalated to management and then put in a ticket to find out why there was a billing error. Then on XX/XX/XXXX I received another collection call. I called in and was told that the previous ticket had been submitted but they confirmed I was not late, it was their error, and a manager was handling it. I expressed great concern because I am employed by a financial services company that monitors my credit. If I have poor credit, this can affect my work. They assured me that nothing had been reported to the credit bureaus and that the error had been resolved. On XX/XX/XXXX I received multiple alerts from credit monitoring that I had a 60 day delinquency showing on my credit from Upgrade. I called upgrade again and was transferred to XXXX who said he was a resolution team member and that he was submitting another ticket to correct the incorrect reporting. I explained grave concern over my credit being affected because of my job and my good credit history. He stated he could verbally tell me that upgrade made the error but he could not provide me anything in writing and that i would have to wait 30-60 days until the credit reporting agencies got his dispute correction. I asked multiple times to have something in writing and I was denied. I find it incomprehensible that a financial company can make an egregious error and verbally admit to it, but won't put it in writing to remedy the consequences the error is causing.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back.

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Complaint narrative:
While in the process of purchasing a house, I reviewed my credit report and discovered a significant number of negative items listed. This is in direct violation of the 15 USC 1681 law, which clearly states that such damages should not appear on credit reports. The presence of these items on my report constitutes a clear case of defamation of character, which must be addressed. It is imperative that all information presented in this matter is accurate and relevant to the case at hand.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Complaint narrative:
I opened a secured credit card with US Bank. I'm currently fighting an aggressive XXXX XXXX and have been unable to work due to the side effects of the XXXX so I can no longer pay on credit card. I have not missed any payment nor have I ever been late on any payments. I called US Bank to close the account and they told me that it would take ninety days before they can close the account. Which meant they needed 3 additional payments on the account. I really don't understand this. If they were closing the account and it was secured I wouldn't have to make a payment at all. I am in a situation where I'm need the money to make my co-payments for XXXX. I need to know why I have to make ( 3 ) additional payments on an account that I requested to be closed? It's a secured account that closed so no transactions will be approved. I think it's just the bank 's way of ripping people off for an additional ( 3 ) payments.
