Company: Applied Data Finance, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was facing eviction and desperate. I looked online for loans I was eligible for and signed up with the only one that would approve me at the time. Personify funded me {$6600.00} through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX a staggering 57 % interest rate. According to the payment plan and their amortization calculator, I would have had to have paid more than {$13000.00} over the course of XXXX years just to pay off interest and principal. That is unacceptable and illegal. I did end up paying the loan off early by my own personal selling stock, and clearing my savings. Now I see they did not comply with Florida law by illegally charging way more than the maximum of 36 % interest for loans up to {$25000.00} and their practices are seemingly very predatory. I demand restitution for the excess interest paid since XXXX of XXXX. They clearly hope to take advantage of desperate people who dont have knowledge of the law, to blindly agree to their terms, and hopefully never question if theyre being cheated.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TN

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. XXXX ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation. 

The accounts in question are : XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX in the amount of {$630.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX  account number XXXX in the amount of {$2200.00} No creditor, account number XXXX in the amount of {$1300.00}

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute the following unauthorized hard inquiry on my credit report under my rights granted by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including Section 604 and other applicable laws : XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/year> Under FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 3 ), a permissible purpose is required for any hard inquiry on my credit report. I did not authorize these inquiries, nor did I initiate any credit applications with these institutions. As per FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ), I request full documentation of my written authorization for these inquiries. If no such authorization exists, the inquiries must be removed immediately per FCRA 611 ( a ).

Failure to comply with this request within the legally mandated timeframe may result in further action, including reporting violations to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and other relevant authorities. 

Please provide written confirmation of the removal of these inquiries at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The consumer Financial protection bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
This is an uncompromising CFPB complaint demanding urgent and immediate action. Under the strict and non-negotiable provisions of FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), Equifax is ordered to block and remove the fraudulent information on my credit report within an inflexible deadline of four business days upon receipt of this complaint. The fraudulent accounts, which must be eradicated without hesitation, are : XXXX XXXX XXXX {$0.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX {$590.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX {$1800.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX {$970.00}. The following inquires are not authorized : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX XXXX TT of XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Ally Financial ( XX/XX/XXXX. These fraudulent accounts have resulted in unauthorized hard inquiries and false collections tarnishing my FICO credit report. I emphatically reject any insinuations that I authorized these accounts, emphasizing that they are irrefutable evidence of identity theft and fraud. Enclosed is the FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint ( # XXXX ), undisputed documentation from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission proving the fraudulent nature of these accounts, collections, and inquiries. Failure to act with immediate and decisive force to block and obliterate this fictitious information from my credit report will not be tolerated. Should Equifax fail to respond within the stated time frame, be prepared for relentless and aggressive legal action to enforce my rights under the FCRA. This is a final directive, not a request.
