Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I was notified when I was applying for a mortgage that I had an account with Lowes that was past due. I have never applied, opened nor used an account with Lowes. I called the bank that was listed on my credit report to let them know this account did not belong to me. I answered their questions, filled out an identity theft affidavit and was told they needed to investigate, and it could take up to 60 days. I have called multiple times and have received no response from SYNCB, and this negative item continues to report on my credit bureau. This has been 5 months and SYNCB has not removed this account from my report.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Over the past nine years I have been affected by several different data breaches. These incidents started as far back as 2017 and have not only compromised my personal information but have also led to significant challenges in managing my credit. I have reached out to my creditors and credit bureaus multiple times to request proof or clarification regarding these negative items, but unfortunately, I have not received any clear resolution. As a result of these breaches and the subsequent impact on my credit report, I have noticed a steady decline in my credit score, which is causing me considerable concern. I believe that these negative entries do not accurately reflect my creditworthiness and are a result of circumstances beyond my control. I'm challenging all negative marks, collections, charge offs, hard inquires and late payments on my credit report with all three credit bureaus.

Complaint narrative:
Back in 2018 I was using Zelle to send money. To friends, family, etc... I didn't sign up for the other apps because I didn't feel comfortable with them yet and thought Zelle was safer as it was directly through the banks. However, they never had the disclosure statement about verifying the safety/security of the receiving party. I don't have an exact number, but somewhere in the XXXX of dollars may have been mis-sent.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I contacted the creditors regarding accounts appearing on my credit report that I have never opened. I provided letters explaining my concerns and requested a proper investigation into these accounts. Despite my efforts, the creditors failed to conduct a thorough investigation and still marked the accounts as accurate and verified. 

I believe this violates consumer protection laws, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires creditors and credit bureaus to ensure the accuracy of the information reported. Specifically, under Section 611 of the FCRA, if disputed information can not be verified as accurate, it must be corrected or removed. 

These inaccuracies are negatively affecting my credit report, and I am requesting that the creditors and credit bureaus revisit this matter and comply with their obligations under the law. I sent dispute letters to the creditors. I clearly stated in the letters that I had not opened the accounts in question and requested an investigation. On [ date of response or lack thereof ], the creditors responded by marking the accounts as accurate and verified without addressing my concerns. 

I request that the companies conduct a proper investigation into these accounts, correct any inaccurate information, and ensure compliance with the FCRA.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

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 customer-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 inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 6802, you have a duty to protect my personal information and ensure it is not disclosed or retained inappropriately. 
The information outlined above has been verified as inaccurate. I demand the following actions : 1. Immediate removal of the inaccurate addresses and names associated with the identified Address IDs and Name IDs. 
2. Written confirmation of the removal of the disputed information from my credit file. 
3. Assurance that these inaccuracies will not reappear on my credit report in the future. 
Under the FCRA, you are required to investigate my dispute and correct or delete inaccurate information within 30 days of receiving this letter. Failure to comply with federal law may result in legal action, including seeking statutory damages for willful noncompliance. 
Please respond to this request in writing and send your confirmation to my address listed above. I have enclosed a copy of my identification ( e.g., government-issued ID and proof of address ) for verification purposes, as well as a copy of my credit report highlighting the disputed information. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect full compliance with the law and look forward to your confirmation of the requested actions. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX Enclosures : 1. Copy of identification ( e.g., drivers license, utility bill ) 2. Copy of credit report with disputed information highlighted

Company: Block, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected. 
Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.
