Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received an American Express Gift Card in the amount of {$200.00}. I attempted to use the card online at XXXX to make a purchase of {$84.00} and the card was declined. I contacted American Express and was told that the card was working fine but I needed to use it at a retailer that verified a name, address, security code and expiration date. I told them that XXXX required all of those things but it was still declined and asked where I could use the card. They simply repeated what they had already told me. In conducting research online, I found this to be a common problem and many others experienced difficulties using their cards.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax, a consumer reporting agency, regarding their failure to conduct a proper investigation into inaccuracies on my credit report, as per my rights outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/2024 I submitted a dispute to Equifax regarding specific accounts on my credit report that contained multiple errors. Despite my explicit documentation of these inaccuracies, Equifax responded by affirming the validity of the disputed accounts, indicating that they had been " verified. '' However, the evidence provided in Exhibit A clearly demonstrates the presence of errors, making Equifax 's verification process highly questionable. 

Accts # XXXX # XXXX Furthermore, upon reviewing a subsequent credit report, attached as Exhibit B, I discovered that the inaccuracies persist despite the supposed verification of the disputed accounts. Despite my efforts to rectify these errors and request a reinvestigation, Equifax has failed to address the ongoing discrepancies, thereby violating my consumer rights guaranteed under 15 USC 1681i of the FCRA.

As a consumer, I expect and demand that Equifax upholds its obligation to ensure the accuracy and integrity of my credit file. The negligent handling of my dispute not only undermines my financial well-being but also erodes my confidence in Equifax 's ability to safeguard consumer data.

Therefore, I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action to hold Equifax accountable for its failure to comply with federal regulations. I also urge the CFPB to ensure that Equifax implements corrective measures to prevent similar instances of negligence in the future, thereby safeguarding the interests of consumers nationwide.
