Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my consumer report, I discovered some instances of late payments on an account for which I have always maintained timely payments. Consumer reporting agencies play a crucial role in accurately reporting consumer information. It is imperative that this information be reported with utmost accuracy. I have never missed a payment on the following account. Account Name : XXXX XXXX, account number : XXXX. I request a thorough investigation into these discrepancies and urge you to provide evidence, such as a statement, demonstrating the lateness of these payments. If unable to furnish such proof, I contacted the credit bureau ( s ) and the data furnisher to dispute this information, but the issue has not been resolved. Despite my request for investigation, the inaccurate late payment remains on my credit report and is negatively affecting my creditworthiness.

Actions Taken : 1. I submitted a formal dispute to Equifax on XXXX 2025.

2. I provided supporting documentation including payment confirmation, bank statements, phone calls to creditors 3. I have not received a satisfactory resolution.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America filed two lawsuits against me in XXXX XXXX, Texas ( Case Nos. XXXX and XXXX ), but I was never properly served or notified. I discovered the lawsuits only after third-party attorneys contacted me. I submitted formal Motions to Dismiss in both cases, requesting validation of the alleged debts. 

Instead of responding through proper legal channels, Bank of America mailed two generic letters from a PO Box in XXXX XXXX stating they had completed their research but provided no documents, no contract, and no legal validation of the debt. 

This violates my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g and 1692e ). 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate these violations, require Bank of America to withdraw both lawsuits, delete the accounts from my credit reports, and cease all collection activity.

Company: Netspend Corporation
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I filed a dispute for ( 3 ) purchases made using my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX claim # XXXX in the amount of {$100.00}. The dispute was for XXXX XXXX XXXX not as described due to the merchant XXXX breaching our contract by adding banking restrictions that were not disclosed in the T & C and in return caused me to suffer a huge financial loss of over {$4000.00}. I was not disputing the fact that I purchased and received gold coin packages but rather the services of being able to redeem SC for cash prizes. It took them 90 days to deny my claim when it should have taken no longer than 45 days because it never reached the pre arbitration stage. Immediately after I received the denial I requested an appeal. Its been going on three weeks and I do not believe it has been appealed. After reviewing the documents used in determining the outcome only further proves my dispute was wrongly denied. The merchant provided evidence that I authorized all three transactions, but that was never a dispute. XXXX ( Netspend ) should have requested from the merchant proof of my attempt to redeem over {$4000.00} in cash prizes and proof that the banking restrictions was in our agreement. A service they advertise to offer but did not deliver. The dispute analyst that processed my claim did not do a fair and accurate assessment of my claim.

Complaint narrative:
Type of product : Auto loan Issue : Incorrect information on the loan agreement/ Deceptive dealership practices Company : Suncoast Credit Union and XXXX of XXXX XXXX Complaint description : In XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a used XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. The advertised price on their website was {$28000.00}. I entered my data into their online financing calculator and it showed me a monthly payment of approximately {$500.00}. 
However, when I arrived at the dealership to finalize the purchase, I was told that the payment would be around $ XXXX because the site calculator is not accurate. I was tired after work and do not speak XXXX well, so I signed all the documents without fully understanding them. I was not provided paper copies of the loan documents only a XXXX XXXX I later discovered that the total amount financed was XXXX more than {$18000.00} higher than the advertised price. 
The dealership included multiple optional products ( XXXX insurance, XXXX XXXX appearance packages, Total Loss Protection, etc. ) without my informed consent. I was never shown the full loan breakdown before signing. I believe this violates the federal Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), as well as Florida consumer protection laws. 
I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this dealership and financing company for deceptive and unfair lending practices. I would like a refund or credit adjustment for all unwanted and unauthorized fees that were added to my loan. I can provide all documentation on request. 
What resolution are you seeking? 
I want the dealership and lender to refund or cancel all optional products I did not knowingly authorize, and to adjust the loan balance accordingly. I also request that this practice be investigated to protect other consumers.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MO

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.
