Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WV

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.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
For years, and I do mean YEARS, Transunion had NOT updated my credit profile. Even when my XXXX is at XXXX credit scores, Transunion has never updated my credit profile. They constantly maintain it at XXXX. 

This has credit a lot of issues with me obtaining jobs, and even credit. 

Now that my entire identity has been exposed due to hackings on XXXXXXXX XXXX, and a few other website where I have my account, I am asking them to sweep my credit. 

I can not log to view my credit as they require us to pay. But I know it has been going on a decade that even though my credit scores has risen on XXXX at times, Transunion does not update any of my scores or info, and keeps me in the XXXX credit score. 

If they do not fix this issue, I am looking at arbitration for damages.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX XXXX, I initially purchased goods from XXXX of the XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX totalling {$250.00}. They charged my card for the proper amount. Then, they upsold me for a machine that including the machine and product previously purchased I would be charged {$6000.00}. Then, once again, I was upsold to a total of {$6700.00} of which a lamp would be shipped and all other charges would be reversed. They did reverse the {$250.00}. However, they charged an additional {$6700.00} and did not reverse the {$6000.00} charge. When I returned home and saw the charges on my Citibank credit card, I notified Citibank immediately and disputed the charges. XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX subsequently shipped the lamp via XXXX which I refused to accept due to the discrepancy of the amounts charged. I provided Citibank with a copy of the XXXX information showing where the company had accepted back the shipment. 

Additionally, I have found that this company ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ) has a very bad reputation for this kind of action. They are also advertising their products as being FDA approved but I have subsequently found out this to be another untruth. 
Citibank is trying to extort payment of the entire {$12000.00} plus interest during the disputed time frame. I am opening another dispute with them but was advised to file a complaint with The Consumer Protection Bureau as well.

Company: Halsted Financial Services, LLC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am receiving text messages from Halsted Financial Services regarding a debt that does not belong to me. The debt is in my spouses name. I am not listed on the account, have no legal obligation for it, and have never authorized the company to contact me.

Halsted Financial contacted me via text message, referring to the debt as my account and including detailed information ( e.g., creditor name, balance, trust number ).

Additionally, I was able to access the full debt account and balance on Halsteds online portal by entering only my spouses month and year of birth. No further authentication was required. This raises serious privacy and legal concerns. 


Furthermore : a. ) I am not the account holder or legally responsible for the debt. 
b. ) The company falsely represented the debt as mine ( FDCPA 807 ).

c. ) Disclosing detailed debt information to me violates FDCPA 805 ( b ).

d. ) Allowing access to full account data with minimal authentication may violate privacy laws and CFPB Regulation F.

On XX/XX/year>, I enrolled for XXXXXXXX XXXX credit builder card. I used the card on XX/XX/year>, to pay my phone bill of {$50.00}. I then immediately moved {$50.00} from my checking account to my credit builder card in order to pay the balance off. The balance owed after I did this was {$0.00}. This is the only transaction I did with this card, for the next few months i would receive emails from XXXX saying that i owed {$50.00} but in the app i didn't owe anything. I emailed XXXX support and they said they would update my account ; they never did because I still received emails about it. In the month of XX/XX/year>XXXX  my credit score went down by XXXX points because XXXX falsely reported that i was delinquent on that {$50.00} payment. I then filed a dispute with both XXXX and Experian in separate emails providing a description of what happened and proof of my on-time payment to XXXX. Both disputes have been overturned for some reason. Today, XXXX has closed my credit builder card. I would like my credit report to be updated and show that I made an on time payment in XX/XX/year> and that i don't have any balance owed on that card.

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''
