Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting the deletion of the accounts listed below from all credit bureaus. I am under time pressure due to loan underwriting. I am currently undergoing a mortgage loan review with a lender, and unresolved items are materially impacting my ability to proceed. This request is made under FCRA 611, and I ask for an expedited deletion due to previous reinvestigation results and resolve to prevent undue financial harm. It has already been deleted by Experian/Equifax following a reinvestigation and failure of the data furnisher to verify its accuracy.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act 611 and 623, if the furnisher failed to verify this item with another national credit reporting agency, that same furnisher can not verify it with yours. Continued reporting raises serious concerns about the reliability, accuracy, and procedural fairness of the item.

Please conduct an immediate reinvestigation and delete this account. I am attaching documentation confirming deletion by Experian/Equifax/TransUnion as further evidence . 
The accounts to be deleted are : XXXX XXXX  - Updated on Experian ( Please delete from Equifax and Transunion ) XXXX XXXX XXXX- Updated on Experian ( Please delete from Equifax and Transunion XXXX XXXX Payment History- Updated on Equifax ( Please delete from Experian and Transunion ) Best, XXXX XXXX

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
I had a charged off debt from Synchrony Bank about my PayPal account, they sold my debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX and I settled the account with them for {$1700.00}. Its been about a month since the account was settled and I need it to be off my credit report so I called the bank to have it removed because I already paid but the bank keeps referring me to the collections agency claiming this is an attempt ti collect debt and when I call the collections agency they refer me to the bank so I have been stuck in this ridiculous loophole without having an answer or at least providing me with a timeframe to get this resolved.

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complaint w CFPB on XX/XX/year>XXXX  against cashapp because of fraud on my account. At the time cashapp had NO CUSTOMER SERVICE, just a disclaimer and instructions referring me back to my bank with any and all issues. This created an awful experience and until this day I still have not gotten my money back. After filing my report with CFPB Cashapp promised to compensate me and contact me with more information but they never contacted me and every time I call the customer service line there is a recording saying they are still working on the class action lawsuit and the only instructions is to WAIT. HOW LONG DO I NEED TO WAIT? its been YEARS!!! I need direct answers from a person not a recording from a minimum wage rep repeating what the recording already said!!! I want my money back!!!!! Give me my money!!! I waited long enough!

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I have a capital one account and I wanted to add money from my Checking account to my XXXX account with a card. This payment was declined twice with no reasoning provided. I then tried to contact the chat for help but there is only a bot that gives no help. I then tried to find information on how to do an international transfer of the funds and no information was available. Again the chat bot provides no assistance. There only forms of contact available are through the phone. I am abroad and I have tried the phone number provided in the past and received a large phone bill and resolution is never provided. They need a way for Customers to be able to contact them. I am going in circles and this has been an ongoing issue with Capital one for me for years. This is a travel card and yet there is no way to contact them when traveling. I need assistance in sending my funds to XXXX for my house deposit. This is a time sensitive issue and this has caused me a lot of stress and frustration. If this is not resolved, I could lose my mortage and home. If capital one could contact me through my email and not through the phone or snail mail that would be appreciated. Thank you.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I met with a representative from XXXX. XXXX, XXXX regarding the installation of a new XXXX unit. During our meeting, the salesman verbally told me I would receive financing terms of 6.99 % APR for 144 months, with a monthly payment of approximately {$130.00}. I agreed to move forward based on that understanding. 

After I authorized a credit check through a link provided by the company, the screen showed an approval for 6.99 % APR, 144 months, and a monthly payment of {$160.00}. The salesman acknowledged the difference and advised me not to sign anything until he could get the payment adjusted to the original {$130.00} amount. 

Despite this, the XXXX unit was installed on XX/XX/year>, before any financing agreement was signed. A few days later, I received documents showing a new APR of 11.99 %, and the monthly payment still showed {$160.00} even though the APR had changed which made the terms seem inconsistent and raised further concerns about accuracy. Later, the salesman presented an adjusted estimate that lowered the monthly payment to {$130.00}, but kept the APR at 11.99 %, which did not match the original approval terms or address the core issue. 

I have not signed any financing agreement, and I immediately contacted both the salesman and another representative by email requesting a written explanation of the change in terms and a copy of the original approval screen showing 6.99 % APR. I never received a written response only text messages urging me to sign the new agreement. 

I am filing this complaint due to misrepresentation of financing terms, lack of written disclosure, and pressure to proceed under unclear or misleading conditions. 
I have supporting documents, including a dated estimate and written communications, which I can provide upon later request.
