Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint regarding TransUnions violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 605B and 611, due to their failure to address fraudulent accounts on my credit report despite proper notification and submission of required documentation. On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed several fraudulent accounts and provided TransUnion with all necessary documents, including a valid identity theft affidavit, proof of address, government-issued identification, and evidence linking me to a data breach. However, TransUnion failed to block the disputed items within the four-business-day period required under 605B and instead verified the accounts without disclosing the sources or evidence of verification, in violation of 611s mandate for a reasonable reinvestigation and transparency. Their actions contravene established precedent, including XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which affirm consumers rights to accurate reporting and proper investigation of disputes. This pattern of non-compliance with statutory obligations and disregard for the CFPBs XXXX bulletin underscores TransUnions failure to uphold consumer protections under the FCRA.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I noticed unauthorized charges on my Chase account that were processed through Cash App and XXXX XXXX. I immediately contacted Chase to dispute these transactions. Chase opened the dispute, investigated, and stated that they reversed the funds back to XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. 

However, after this reversal, both XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX informed me that they never received any funds from Chase. As a result, my account is now showing a negative balance of over {$1000.00}. 

I have contacted both companies multiple times to confirm whether they received the funds, and both have consistently stated that no deposit or reversal was made to my accounts. This has left me without access to the disputed funds and in a financial hardship situation. 

I am requesting that Chase, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX work together to resolve this matter promptly by either crediting the funds back to my account or providing proof of where the reversed funds were sent.

Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out to formally dispute fraudulent information appearing on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2. I am requesting that this information be blocked or removed immediately. Attached to this letter is my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
According to the referenced law, when a consumer submits a valid identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified as resulting from identity theft within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. 
The following account listed on my credit report is the direct result of identity theft and must be blocked immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be blocked from my credit file without delay. The block should remain in place for a period of XXXX year, with the option to extend if needed. During this period, no information related to this account XXXX be reported. 
I have made multiple attempts to contact EXPERIAN to report this issue, but I have not received a clear or satisfactory resolution. 
I am currently going through a difficult financial time, and these accounts are seriously affecting my ability to achieve financial stability for myself and my family. 
Its important to note that other credit bureaus have already removed these accounts due to lack of verification, so I do not understand why this agency continues to report them as valid. Furthermore, I requested copies of any contracts or documents supposedly linking me to these accounts, and more than 60 days have passed without a response. 
I kindly ask for your support and understanding, and I urge you to take immediate action to block or remove these accounts. This situation is causing significant personal and financial harm

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.

If XXXX  can not produce direct and unquestionable evidence to support the continued reporting of these entries, then it is obligated by federal law to delete them immediately. This isnt a requestits a demand for compliance. If you continue to ignore my concerns, I will treat this as a willful violation of my rights and take further action to hold you accountable. My creditworthiness is not something I take lightly, and you should not either.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a formal dispute to Experian on XX/XX/year>, providing all required identification, including my Social Security card and a current utility bill showing my address. This is more than sufficient under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) for identity verification. 

Despite this, Experian sent me a stall letter via EMAIL dated XX/XX/year>, claiming they will not begin their reinvestigation until I provide a government-issued ID displaying my address. This requirement is arbitrary, creates unnecessary barriers, and is not required by law. They were clearly able to identify my account and email me. 

Under FCRA 609 and 611, I have already provided sufficient identifying information to verify my identity and current address. By refusing to begin their reinvestigation, Experian is unlawfully delaying the 30-day period for completing the dispute process.

My file had already been updated with correct and used address and to remove outdated addresses prior to this dispute, so there is no legitimate reason for Experian to reject my documents. This appears to be a bad-faith attempt to avoid compliance with the FCRA and to obstruct my ability to dispute inaccurate credit information.
