Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Hard Inquiry Violation of 15 USC 1681b of the FCRA To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding an unauthorized hard inquiry that appears on my credit report, which I believe violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681b.

I did not authorize the following company to access my credit report, nor did I apply for any credit, service, or employment that would have given them permissible purpose to perform a hard inquiry : Company Name : XXXX XXXX Date of Inquiry : XX/XX/year> Credit Bureau Reporting the Inquiry : Equifax, Experian, TransUnion According to 15 USC 1681b , a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under certain permissible purposes. Since I did not initiate any transaction with the above-named entity, I am asserting that this inquiry was made without my consent or a valid reason, and therefore should not have occurred.

I have already contacted the credit bureau and requested proof that this inquiry was authorized. If they are unable to provide such documentation, the inquiry must be deleted from my report, as required by federal law.

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter further and ensure that the credit bureaus and the company involved are held accountable for violating my rights under the FCRA.

Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed two collection accounts that are being reported by Experian : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I submitted disputes to Experian on at least three separate occasions, requesting that they investigate and validate the accuracy of these accounts. In each dispute, they have been ignoring my request to proper investigate, re-investigate and validate the accounts.

Despite my repeated requests, Experian responded each time by stating the accounts were verified or updated, without providing any documentation or evidence from the furnishers to confirm the validity of the debts. I have never received proof that the debts belong to
me or are accurate.

Experian has failed to conduct a reasonable investigation and continues to report inaccurate and unverified information, which has negatively impacted my credit score and ability to qualify for credit. I am requesting that these accounts be deleted from my credit report unless Experian can obtain and provide proper documentation from the furnishers.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Complaint narrative:
I filed for XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy on XX/XX/year>, and the case was dismissed on XX/XX/year> by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Michigan XXXX XXXX. However, the bankruptcy remains listed on my credit report, despite the dismissal. 

Case Reference Number : XXXX Original Filing Date : XX/XX/year> Dismissal Date : XX/XX/year> Court : U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Michigan, XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy Type : XXXX  XXXX Dismissed I have been informed that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court does not directly release information to the credit bureaus. Therefore, I believe this listing was incorrectly placed by the credit bureaus without proper verification or authorization. This inaccuracy is negatively impacting my credit score and overall financial well-being. 

I request the immediate removal of this dismissed bankruptcy from my credit report, as it is no longer relevant or accurate. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the credit bureaus are required to maintain accurate information on my credit report, and I believe this error violates that obligation. 

Despite contacting the credit reporting agencies directly, the bankruptcy is still reported inaccurately. I respectfully ask that the CFPB assist me in ensuring this erroneous information is removed from my credit file. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I made a deposit of {$5100.00} at a Chase ATM. The check was issued by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The check was deposited into my account on XX/XX/year>, and that's exactly what happened. However, the moment the check entered my account, Chase deleted my account without a clear explanation. The company that issued the check confirmed that the funds were withdrawn from their account, but I never received the money.

I have contacted Chase several times to inquire about the status of the check and my funds, but I have not received a clear response. They only tell me that they need to confirm the check with the company, but that their system does not show any information about that company. I have tried to provide the owner of the company or the license and phone number registered with the Washington
State Department of State ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), but Chase only responds with a simple " It's not possible because our system doesn't work that way. '' I've asked them to cancel the check and return it to the company, but they still only respond with, " That's not possible. '' I've done everything possible to resolve this directly with Chase Bank. I'm now requesting the CFPB 's assistance to obtain a formal response and recover my funds.

Complaint narrative:
THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR THE ( CREDIT BUREAU IS VIOLANTING MY RIGHT ) FOR XXXX, XXXX, 2025 I sent a letter to the courthouse asking do the report bankruptcies to the credit bureaus and I got a letter stating " They do not report any bankruptcies to anybody. '' So if that's the case. Per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : " If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file '' and based in the Federal Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ), you are required by federal law to verify- through physical verification of the original signed consumer contract and/or judgment ( s ) all accounts and public information that you post on anyone 's credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail, email in fraudulent and erroneous account information.

As such, if this unauthorized public record information is not deleted from my credit report within the next 30 days, How did the credit bureaus edify my bankruptcy as 100 % Accurate. They never did a fair investigation according to the 15 USC 1681.

They also violated my rights numerous times. 

DELETE Bankruptcy Account Number : XXXX ; XXXX FOR VIOLATION TO THE FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 4 ) - Privacy Rights : The verification process employed does not appear to adhere to the privacy protection requirements outlined under this section. My right to privacy under the FCRA has not been upheld.

15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ) - Permissible Purposes : The information used to verify the bankruptcy must be for permissible purposes and comply with established procedures. The process by which this record was verified appears to have failed to meet these standards.

15 U.S.C. 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) - Consumer Rights : According to this section, I am entitled to request the removal of inaccurate or outdated information from my credit report. Your verification response has not sufficiently addressed inaccuracies or provided valid justification for retaining this record.

15 U.S.C. 609 ( a ) ( 2 ) - Proof of Verification : I am entitled to request proof of the verification of the bankruptcy record. The verification provided was insufficient and does not meet the requirements for proving the accuracy and legitimacy of the record.

Violation of the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : * UNDER THE TRUTH IN LENDING ACT ( TILA ), 15 USC 1601, it is imperative that all credit information provided is accurate and transparent to protect consumer rights Title 15, Chapter 41 - Federal Consumer Protections : The failure to provide adequate proof and the apparent disregard for my rights under the FCRA indicate a violation of federal consumer protection laws.
