Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding the handling of inaccurate information on my credit report by the credit reporting agencies, despite my repeated efforts in dispute these errors. Despite multiple disputes filed with the bureau, they have failed to take appropriate action to update or delete these inaccuracies as required by law. This negligence has persisted despite my lawful right, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I5 U.S.C. 1681, to have my credit report reflect only accurate and verifiable information. The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of information ( 15 U.S.C.le ( b ) ) and conduct a reasonable investigation of disputes raised by consumers ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ). The accounts in question, listed below, contain incorrect information that I have repeatedly disputed : CHARGE-OFF : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX COLLECTION : 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  Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies addressed, the bureaus have not conducted a reasonable investigation or made the required updates, violating my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) and 168li of the FCRA. This disregard for my rights as a consumer is impacting my financial standing, and I am requesting immediate corrective action.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to report an issue with my mortgage servicer. We were approved for a veteran mortgage assistance program and were instructed by the mortgage company to stop making payments while the paperwork was being processed. We complied with their instructions in good faith. 

Unfortunately, the mortgage company failed to complete the necessary paperwork and later informed us that we no longer qualify for assistance due to their own error. We are now approximately {$25000.00} behind, and they have told us they can not help us further. 

We are not currently in foreclosure, but we are extremely concerned and feel we are being unfairly penalized for following their guidance. 

We are seeking immediate assistance in reopening the assistance process or finding a workable solution to avoid foreclosure on our home. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I have a VA-backed loan and was approved for a modification. We completed everything, but the mortgage company lost our paperwork and now says we owe {$25000.00} and theyre selling our loan on XX/XX/XXXX. We need help right away

I have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Equifax Information Services LLC regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ). Despite clear legal notice, Equifax Information Services LLC continues to willfully report inaccurate data in violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), 1681i, and FDCPA 1692e and 1692f.

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.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Huntington Bank allowed a levy on my account, labeled the charge as Miscellaneous, and failed to identify the creditor or provide legal documentation. I received no notice or explanation. I believe this violates federal consumer banking laws. The bank withdrawal was labeled only as Miscellaneous with no notice, explanation, or identification of the creditor. This appears to violate the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1693 ), Truth in Savings Act ( 12 U.S.C. 4301 ), and Regulation E ( 12 CFR Part 1005 ), which require clear disclosure of electronic debits and accurate account statements. It also may violate Indiana Code 6-8.1-8 regarding fair notice of tax warrants, and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692 ) if a third-party agency like UCB was involved without proper notice.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding Equifax 's failure to properly investigate my consumer report dispute, in direct violation of their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XX/XX/year>, I filed a formal dispute with Equifax to correct fraudulent and inaccurate information appearing on my consumer report. Instead of conducting a proper investigation, Equifax responded with a stall letter that neither addressed my dispute nor took steps to resolve the inaccuracies. 

I am aware that the CFPB has recently filed a lawsuit against Equifax for these very same practices namely, their systemic failure to properly investigate consumer disputes. I am a direct victim of this misconduct. 

As a XXXX veteran who suffers from XXXX, this experience has been extremely stressful and emotionally triggering. I am currently in the process of closing on a mortgage, and I am under strict time constraints with only one week remaining to finalize my home purchase. Equifaxs refusal to lawfully process my dispute is putting my homeownership at serious risk, compounding my stress and potentially causing irreparable harm to my financial future. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Equifax fully complies with the FCRA, properly investigates my dispute without further delay, and removes the fraudulent and inaccurate items from my consumer report. I also request that Equifax be held accountable for the injury and distress they have caused.

I am attaching supporting documents, including copies of my dispute submission and Equifaxs stall letter, should you require further evidence of their noncompliance. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.

Complaint narrative:
BMO cancelled my credit card which I had held since XXXX with perfect payment history ( they bought out my credit card holder in XXXX ). They sent no notice it was being cancelled, I had scheduled recurring payments which suddenly couldnt be processed, that was the 1st knowledge I had of anything untoward. When I called the company, rightly outraged, they offered no explanation and simply said they reserve the right to cancel all customers at any time. I insisted they had to send me notice ( even retroactively of said cancellation ) clearly by their promptly sending it after my phone call they know that is a legal requirement even though they skipped it in the 1st place.

Complaint narrative:
I just wanted to warn you about One Main Financial based on my recent experience with them. They contacted me saying I was pre-approved for a loan, which sounded great at first. But then they asked for a ton of personal information and had me submit multiple documents. After all that hassle and sharing sensitive details, they ended up denying me anyway. It honestly felt like a scamthey gave me false hope and wasted my time while collecting all my private info. Please be cautious if you ever get contacted by them or think about working with One Main Financial. Its better to stay away and avoid the frustration I went through.
