Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system.

I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
The company I have my car loan through, XXXX XXXX, and I set up payment arrangements in early XXXX due to me starting a new job with a new pay schedule. I called to set up said arrangements and was told that if I pay minimum payments that my account would stay current with no negative impact to my credit. I was back on track the following month with no delays or problems. Unfortunately, to my surprise, they had marked my account past due by {$100.00} for the month of XXXX. My usual payment amount is {$400.00}. I made all payments as arranged on schedule and was back on track within the month. I have put in multiple disputes, talked to multiple employees, talked to multiple managers who have told me I have never missed any payment and confirmed that all payments were paid as arranged and on time. There is no way to get in touch with the credit department to try and fix this issue and it is the only missed payment I have on my entire credit report which has caused major harm to my credit. I have tried every route possible to fix this issue and the loan company will not help me even after admitting that I did not miss any payments as scheduled. This has caused major harm to me given at the same time I was trying to get a home loan and it completely ruined my credit score. I have never missed any payments on any loan or credit card I have and this has been detrimental. Their lack of care or attention to the matter is lazy and shameful. I have had this car loan for going on 3 years now and have been a perfect customer yet they can't fix a mistake that was made on their end. If I make a mistake my car will be repoed with no problem but if they make a mistake I have no recourse simply being told there's nothing anyone can do.

Complaint narrative:
I wanted to write a report about fraud on my Venmo Debit Card. I have unauthorized charges. When I noticed I immediately called Venmo and locked my card they cancelled it and sent me a new one promptly. I have disputed these charges and gave additional info about these charges. I have even provided a photo of myself at home time stamped when these charges happened! My disputes were denied multiple times now. I've talked to many agents on the phone and even a few supervisors who seem like they are helping me only for the claim to be denied then, I am notified that the claim is denied via email with a generic auto response. I am so upset that a business as large as Venmo who is insured by the FDIC can not fix these issues. Now I am out over {$150.00} and this has not been resolved. I have never filed any disputes with Venmo before this. If you would like any additional info from me please reach out via email or phone. Thank you. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding a charge-off account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX that appears on my credit reports with Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian XXXX I believe this account is being reported inaccurately and in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX has not provided proper verification of this account. Under FCRA 609 and 611, I have the right to request validation, including the original signed agreement, itemized statements, and proof that the account is being reported accurately. To date, no such documentation has been produced. The account is currently showing late payments for XX/XX/scrub> 2025, XX/XX/year>2025, XX/XX/scrub> 2025, and XX/XX/scrub> 2025 on my credit files. These reported delinquencies are inaccurate and misleading. Without complete and verifiable documentation proving that I was truly late during those months, these entries must be deleted. The account is also listed as a charge-off, which suggests a balance is still owed. This does not reflect the true status of the account, whether it was sold, settled, or otherwise resolved. Reporting it as such misrepresents the account and causes significant damage to my creditworthiness, which is a violation of FCRA 607 ( b ) .Because XXXX XXXX XXXX has not demonstrated that this reporting is 100 % accurate, fair, and verifiable, the continued reporting of both the charge-off and the late payments across Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian is misleading and unlawful under the FCRA.
