Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am attaching a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as a result of such theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately blocked from my credit report. This block should remain in effect for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported.

I have contacted EQUIFAX multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive resolution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely affecting me as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my economic growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm.

These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit agencies, so I do not understand why this agency continues to assert that these accounts belong to me.

I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than 60 days, I have not received any response. I respectfully request your assistance in removing these accounts immediately.

Please block or remove this account from my credit report.

Issue: Struggling to pay your bill — Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Im a long-standing Apple and Apple Card customer. I requested a hardship accommodation due to a documented period of extraordinary difficulty, including : A medical emergency involving my father abroad A credit reporting error that blocked access to consolidation loans Autistic-related executive function challenges that made navigation and resolution significantly harder while I was actively teaching I remained fully current on all payments, despite significant personal and financial strain. I requested : A retroactive interest credit for the hardship period, and/or A temporary APR reduction to stabilize post-hardship Apple Card support told me ( during the case incident documented as XXXXXXXX ) : There are no programs available to customers who remain current No discretionary review or escalation exists, even to supervisors The only path is to miss a payment, triggering a basic deferment program In other words, their hardship program is only available after you default. Customers like me who fight to stay current are denied any access to review. This creates a system that rewards delinquency and punishes responsible financial behavior especially harmful to disabled or neurodivergent consumers who navigate hardship differently. 

I am asking the CFPB to review this practice and ensure that lenders like Goldman Sachs ( Apple Cards issuer ) are not allowed to enforce policies that condition relief on default and exclude case-by-case review entirely.

Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting debt from Jefferson Capitol LLC added/opened XXXX XXXX XXXX  in the amount of {$3600.00} be removed from my account. 

I originally thought this debt was from another company. Come to find out I had the incorrect information. I do not know this debt collector or where this debt came from or why it is on my credit report. I do not recognize the debt collector or its services. I have disputed the debt multiple times with no resolution. 

I am also aware of XXXX being sued due to not completing investigations and failure of reporting accurate information on consumer accounts. This is not my debt & if my information is attached to it it is an error that has not been corrected after disputing multiple times. I have paid all of my other debts owed & that were correctly reported for services I did recieve. 

This is NOT my debt! I legally due not owe this debt or the debt collector. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act I expect my debt to be removed if the following are not abide by : 1. 15 USC 1681i ( a ) 2. 15 USC 1681i ( a ) 6 ( b ) 3. 15 USC 1681i ( a ) 5 ( b )

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding these unauthorized third-party accounts that are currently being reported on my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  I did not apply for or authorize these accounts, nor did I consent to any agreement, extension of credit, or permissible purpose to report these tradelines. 

These companies are not original creditors and have failed to provide a signed contract or chain of assignment proving ownership or authorization to report on my consumer report. This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 604, which restricts access and furnishing of credit information without a legally permissible purpose.

Additionally, per FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers of information must not report inaccurate or unverifiable data. Since no contract, billing history, or debt validation has been produced, this information is considered inaccurate and must be removed. 

I have attached a signed FTC Identity Theft Report affirming these accounts were opened and reported without my consent. I am requesting the immediate deletion of these unauthorized accounts from all credit bureaus. 

Failure to address and resolve this matter may result in further escalation to the FTC and state regulatoryauthorities.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX charged off my credit card account and wrote off the full balance of {$2300.00}. However, they have continued to report the account as a new charge-off each month up through XX/XX/XXXX. This repeated monthly reporting of a static charge-off status is misleading and may be considered re-aging, which violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and CFPB guidance. 

Additionally, the account is showing a past-due balance of {$2200.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX despite being fully charged off over two years ago. The reporting of a past-due amount after a charge-off is inaccurate and creates the false appearance of ongoing delinquency. This also misrepresents the account as actively past due, when in fact it is closed and written off. 

The payment history also contains missing or inconsistent months, and the past-due amount exceeds the credit limit, which further misrepresents the nature of the account. 

I am requesting that this account be removed in accordance with the FCRA, as the current reporting is inaccurate, outdated, and harmful to my credit profile.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Please review this complaint together with another complaint filed against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX case # XXXX. 
I have had a loan be wrongfully placed in default instead of deferment, which is preventing me from accepting financial aide this semester. I have already faxed and had my loan reviewed and rejected from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, who says XXXX must accept and correct the deferment request made, processed and accepted by the department of education before default was issued. XXXX says they can only consolidate/pay off the loan to get out of default. 
When I spoke to XXXX from XXXX, Monday XX/XX/XXXX he admitted they did not have current info ( address, telephone etc. on file ), even though I submitted a XXXX with my new information on it last XXXX XXXX XXXX. I never received any information about this loan. 
XXXX is reporting an internal default date of XX/XX/XXXX on a XXXX loan that contradicts the official Department of Education system, which shows XX/XX/XXXX. I submitted deferment paperwork in XXXX XXXX, which was processed by the Department of Education on XX/XX/XXXX and applied to all of my federal loans except the one held by XXXX. 
Despite this, I called and spoke with XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX in which XXXX refused to backdate the loan, claiming I was not enrolled in XXXX XXXXXXXX ( which is irrelevant ) and that they had no valid address for me. However, I was enrolled full-time as of XX/XX/XXXX, and I have photo and university verification proving that. They refuse to issue a written denial or acknowledge the official deferment processing date. Instead, they point to an unverifiable internal date ( XX/XX/XXXX ) that was never formally entered into the federal system until XX/XX/XXXX one day before deferment was processed. All other loans were properly deferred. This is creating financial ineligibility for my current aid. 
I believe this default was misapplied and should be reversed immediately. 
Upon speaking to the Department of Education, XXXX help line case # XXXX, they reiterated that the systems in place by the federal government are designed to protect students and that all loans should be automatically placed in deferment upon full time enrollment.
