Complaint narrative:
Complaint Regarding Credit Report Inaccuracies Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. I have been actively disputing these inaccuracies with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to adequately investigate my claims or remove the incorrect information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I attached the PDF file below containing the list of items that have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. 

Credit Bureau stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify or delete accounts that aren't reporting correctly. 

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

I also believe that the credit bureaus have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to : 1. Investigate my disputes in a timely and reasonable manner : The credit bureaus have not provided a clear explanation for their decision not to remove the inaccurate information, and I believe their investigation was inadequate. 

2. Furnish accurate information to creditors : The inaccurate information on my credit report is harming my ability to obtain credit and other financial services. 

3. Follow the FCRA 's dispute resolution procedures : The credit bureaus have failed to comply with the timeframes and procedures outlined in the FCRA. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate my complaint and take the following actions : 1. Order the credit bureaus to remove the inaccurate information from my credit report. 

2. Require the credit bureaus to provide me with a copy of my updated credit report reflecting the changes. 

Enclosures : Copies of my credit reports Copies of my dispute letters Copies of any supporting documentation I provided to the credit bureaus

Company: CBC Companies, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
There is an account on my credit report from " OFFICE OF THE ATTY GEN '' which does not belong in my credit report and it is reporting totally inaccurate information across all Credit Bureaus. XXXX reports that I am 180 days late. XXXX reports that I am 120 days late while XXXX reports that I have no late payments. This is a complete and blatant violation of the FCRA especially considering the fact that federal courts have already issued a ruling on this matter. Here is a summary of said ruling : " Federal courts recently have issued rulings about the use of consumer reports for the collection of an account under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 1 These cases note that certain definitions were added to the FCRA as part of the 2003 amendments ( FACT Act ). In particular, the word credit was defined. As a result of the new definition the position that is being advocated is that a collection of an account is a permissible purpose to obtain a consumer report only when the collection is in connection with a credit transaction. 
The courts have specifically rejected prior case law and FTC guidance that a judgment creditor had permissible purpose, noting that those decisions pre-dated the FACT Act. These cases have held that a delinquent child support obligation, municipal fines arising from parking tickets, and a statutory debt resulting from the towing and impound of an illegally parked vehicle did not arise from a credit transaction. As a result, the courts found that collection of those accounts was not a valid permissible purpose to obtain a consumer report. '' I am demanding that the above mentioned credit bureaus be forced to abide by the FCRA and remove this account from my credit report immediately.

Complaint narrative:
I noticed a collection on my report that was disputed through XXXX and XXXX. When I asked TrueAccord to provide me with validation to an updated address and copy of my signature given TrueAccord access to my personal information. I received an email instead of mail and have been receiving text messages, emails and phone calls of this debt that has no validation form sent to my address. I have asked them to stop contacting me because I have no knowledge of the account and I closed the account with original creditor months prior to the alleged date debt is due.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX  I sent a Bill of exchange payment of {$3400.00} by Restrictively indorsing the coupon they had sent me in the mail and sent this instrument to the payment address on the coupon. ( Image 1 ) has the tracking information. I attached a cover letter ( Bank of America XXXX XXXX XXXX ) explaining the process and if they needed further information who they can reach out to. After not hearing back I decided to call Bank of America on XX/XX/XXXX  and they told me that they did not receive any payment. I explained how I sent a valid payment to the address on the coupon. They told me to call back later to see if it would update in their system. I called back on XX/XX/XXXX  and they said that they had not received payment or that it was lost. I then explained that if you guys lost or destroyed my payment per XXXX XXXX the amount due must be discharged. They did not discharge the debt and said that I was incorrect. I then sent another payment of {$3500.00} Registered mail to CFO XXXX XXXX with no response ( Image XXXX ). I was then notified that my account was closed on XX/XX/XXXX  without my authorization. On XX/XX/XXXX  I then sent Bank of America a Notice of Claim letter, my Power of Attorney document, and the contract for my credit card account. ( Bank of America Notice letter 1 ). I did this following the Federal Reserve Act section 16 which states that " In no event shall such collateral security be less than the amount of Federal Reserve notes applied for ''. This notice letter is a tender of payment and makes it a collateral security. I did not receive any update ( Image 4 ) tracking information. I was then called continuously by Bank of America saying that I owed a debt that I already paid, which I explained that I had sent them multiple payments. They again said that they did not receive anything from me. I then sent another Notice of Claim letter ( Bank of America Notice letter 2 original ) on XX/XX/XXXX ( image 5 for tracking ). They have not responded to this letter either. They have also reported my non-public transaction history to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX without my written authorization. Bank Of America has been knowingly and willingly breaching their fiduciary duties and acting in bad faith per Federal Reserve Act Section 29. They are knowingly causing me substantial financial loss and reporting incorrect information to unaffiliated parties.

Company: SUNRISE CREDIT SERVICES, INC
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Initially XXXX XXXX XXXX refused to let me shut off the phone account. I was at XXXX. I paid that and they kept coming up with additional fees. I had then said no more. XXXX turned into XXXX, then XXXX, and so on. 

The debt was turned into " sunrise credit services '' where the debt was bought for pennies on the dollar after the debt was paid by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX insurance. 

She assured me " this is a very real debt '' and I am going to pay it. 

Anyway, after about a couple minutes of harassment and angrily ended the call. 

My point is XXXX XXXX XXXX kept adding to my phone bill without permission. I did not want their services. Multiple refusals of wanting their service. They kept adding charges. After the debt was written off by the company and sent to the insurance agency where the charges they made up were paid it was then handed over to a harassing debt collector. The debt was bought or scrounged, I presume.

They do not cooperate to cancel invalid loans that were misleading, not clear in terms and conditions. Furthermore, both XXXX and ECSI ignoring the email I created for both parties to communicate indicates both ECSI and XXXX is guilty of misleading students into borrowing debts that are not valid.
