Complaint narrative:
I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian and XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Despite my dispute, Experian refused to remove inaccurate information related to a timeshare account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. They classified this personal installment loan as a real estate loan and falsely reported it as foreclosed. According to federal guidelines, this account should be classified as a personal installment loan, not real estate. The correct balance as of XX/XX/XXXX is {$10000.00}, and the first missed payment was in XX/XX/XXXX, not XX/XX/XXXX as reported. 

Experian 's refusal to correct these errors, including their failure to follow federal guidelines, has negatively impacted my creditworthiness. I request that the CFPB investigate these matters and ensure that Experian complies with federal regulations to correct my credit report.

Company: MRS BPO, LLC
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and XXXX XXXX XXXX Laws Dear MRSBPO, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), as well as identity theft and fraud laws in XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that MRSBPO has already engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law also emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Missouri 's identity theft and fraud statutes underscore the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information.

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for MRSBPO to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws.

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that MRSBPO immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Missouri state laws. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws.

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting.

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that MRSBPO will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, I sent {$290.00} to my Synchrony JC Penney card ( which had no balance ), but I intended to send it to my Synchrony Amazon account. It was an electronic payment through the XXXX XXXX  phone app and I must have selected the wrong payee. When my Amazon card informed me that they did not receive payment, I called Synchrony bank and spend nearly 2 hours on the phone, being transferred from place to place before I finally reached someone who said that my JCP card had received the payment and now had a credit due me. They sent the credit to me in the form of a check. The next month I received a statement from my JCP card saying I owed {$290.00}. I called and explained their error and they said they would correct it. The next month I received another bill for {$290.00} with interest. I formally disputed the charge, and I called again and they told me to send proof of payment by mail, as they would not accept an email. I did so. This month I got a letter stating that they will not accept the proof I mailed to them. I have now spent at least 5 hours dealing with different people and going to the post office, and they are still trying to make me pay money that I do not owe.
