Consumer complaint received 2025-01-24 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have tried on several occasions via CFPB, phone calls and direct disputes through Experian to send me documentation on how they were verifying the XXXX XXXX  account reported on my credit report. I specifically ask them to give me the names, phone number and person or persons theyve spoken with that verified the account. They continuously tell me that they do not have to furnish that information. This company was recently sued by CFPB for not properly investigating accounts. I am writing again to formally dispute information on my credit report. This dispute is submitted under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), U.S.C. 1681, which requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed items. 

Recent finds by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) have brought to light significant concerns regarding Experians failure to conduct proper investigations. Specifically, in a lawsuit filed against Experian, the CFPB alleges that the company engaged in sham investigations, violating consumer protection laws by failing to meet its obligations under FCRA.

As per 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Experian is required to conduct a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of disputed items within 30 days. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), and information found to be inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable must be properly deleted or corrected. Failure to adhere to these requirements constitutes a violation of federal law.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against XXXX for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. 
Despite my submissions, XXXX consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is acurate, 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, XXXX '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 proceedin ( File No. 2025-CFPD-002 ) against them for similar violations.

I request that the CFPD take action to ensure XXXX complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of the investigation. 

These are some of the accounts I have marked inaccurate : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Capital One regarding the deceptive practices related to their 360 " high yield interest '' savings accounts. Capital One misrepresented the 360 Savings account as having one of the nation 's highest interest rates, yet failed to notify accountholders about the superior rates offered by the 360 Performance Savings account. This deliberate obscurity and lack of transparency violated consumer trust and resulted in significant financial losses for many, breaching the Consumer Financial Protection Act and the Truth in Savings Act. I seek redress for the misleading practices and failure to fulfill their advertised promises.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

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. 

Resolution : I want all accounts removed

Despise using zelle numerous of time And reporting discrepancies my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claim adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transact was unfeasible. THE CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

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, Experian, and XXXX data breach.
