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.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
Bank errors related to billing and reporting are negatively impacting my credit. Under TILA ( 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ), creditors are required to accurately reflect payments and credits, but several issues have arisen : payments I made were not properly recorded, and there are clear calculation errors in the reported amounts. Additionally, I was not provided with the required 21-day notice before a payment was due, making any late payment marks invalid. These inaccuracies are a clear violation of federal law and unfairly harm my credit standing.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Summary of Issue : I filed a chargeback with Chase Bank after paying {$300.00} for a microphone I never received. The transaction took place on XX/XX/year>, through a third-party seller on XXXX The item was marked as delivered on XX/XX/XXXX, but I was home at the timeno delivery vehicle ever arrived, and no package was left. I contacted both XXXX and the seller, who acknowledged the issue and promised to investigate but never followed up. 

After weeks of being ignored by the seller and receiving no help from XXXX, I filed a chargeback through Chase as a last resort. Despite all available evidence indicating I never received the product, Chase denied the chargeback based solely on the sellers claim that it was delivered. 

No proof of delivery to my actual address was providedno photo, no signature, no GPS confirmationjust a generic delivered status. Chase accepted this without giving me the opportunity to challenge the sellers evidence or submit additional information. 

I feel Chase failed to properly investigate this dispute and sided with the merchant despite my full compliance with the chargeback process and clear signs of a failed delivery. Ive now lost {$300.00} and have no way of recovering the funds. 

Im requesting that the CFPB investigate Chases handling of this claim and review their dispute resolution process for fairness and transparency.

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!

Company: SOFI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding SoFi Banks handling of two unauthorized debit card charges that I neither initiated nor approved. These charges total {$220.00} and {$420.00} and were related to a hotel reservation that I had cancelled and did not use.

Upon disputing the charges, SoFi initially issued a provisional credit to my account, acknowledging the dispute. However, several weeks later, SoFi retracted the credit without explanation or justification, despite no new evidence or communication from the merchant that would validate the charges.

This action is egregious and unacceptable. I did not book or authorize the transactions in question, and I had selected SoFi as my bank in good faith, expecting they would protect my rights and funds. Their handling of this matter has not only caused financial harm but also eroded trust in their services.

I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this issue and that SoFi be required to restore the full credit to my account for these unauthorized transactions. I am prepared to provide all relevant documentation, including cancellation confirmations and correspondence with SoFi.
