XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX PA XXXX XXXX XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX. XXXX XXXX Washington, XXXX XXXX Subject : Complaint Against ChexSystems for Inaccurate and Fraudulent Account Reporting Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to formally file a complaint against ChexSystems for the continued reporting of fraudulent and inaccurate information in violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Over the past XXXX months, ChexSystems has reported checking accounts opened fraudulently in my name, including balances that I did not authorize or create. These entries are false and have severely impacted my ability to open any legitimate checking or savings accounts at financial institutions. Despite my repeated disputes with ChexSystems, the false information remains on my consumer file. 

To date, I have taken the following actions : Filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding identity theft. 

Filed a police report with my local law enforcement agency to document the fraud. 

Submitted multiple written disputes to ChexSystems, with supporting evidence, requesting the removal of these fraudulent accounts. 

Despite my efforts, ChexSystems has failed to correct or remove the inaccurate data. This constitutes a violation of the FCRA, which requires consumer reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation and promptly correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. 

I am requesting the CFPB to investigate this matter and compel ChexSystems to remove all inaccurate and fraudulent accounts from my report immediately. I have enclosed copies of my FTC Identity Theft Report, police report, and prior dispute correspondence for your review. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Please feel free to contact me if additional documentation or clarification is needed. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX Enclosures : Copy of FTC Identity Theft Report Copy of Police Report

Company: OPTUM BANK, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I took out a loan through XXXX XXXX XXXX  that was arranged by Gentle Aesthetics XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MA. The financing was intended to pay for a package of laser treatment services. However, the med spa closed shortly after and I never received the services I financed. 

Despite the business closing and failing to deliver any services, I am still being held liable for the full loan amount. I attempted to dispute the charges directly with XXXX XXXX, but the loan remains active and negatively affects my credit. 

Under the FTCs Holder Rule ( 16 CFR Part 433 ), I should be able to assert the same defenses against the lender that I would assert against the seller. Since the services were never rendered, I am requesting that this loan be canceled and any collection or reporting activities be stopped. 

I have attached documentation showing the business is no longer operating and that I attempted to resolve the matter directly.

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.
