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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute certain negative entries currently listed on my credit report. Despite multiple requests and the submission of all necessary supporting documents, these inaccuracies have not been properly addressed. My repeated follow-ups have been met with little to no action, and the continued presence of these errors has caused significant financial and emotional stress. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to an accurate and verifiable credit report. I am requesting that you take immediate and thorough steps to investigate and correct these items. Failure to resolve them in a timely manner would constitute a violation of my rights under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Credit Reporting to Equifax Violation of FCRA Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information you are reporting to Equifax regarding an alleged account in my name ( Account Number : [ Insert Account Number, if available ] ). 



This account does not appear on my Experian or TransUnion credit reports, but it is being reported to Equifax with inconsistencies, including : Different payment histories across multiple entries Misclassified or incorrect account types Inaccurate and conflicting closing dates These discrepancies violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Cod1681s-2, which requires that all information furnished to credit reporting agencies be complete and accurate. It is also suspicious and potentially deceptive that the account is only being reported to one bureau.

Furthermore, I have previously disputed this account and yet the inaccuracies persist, which may also constitute a violation of the FCRA provisions on the duty to reinvestigate and correct or delete inaccurate information after a dispute.

Accordingly, I demand the following : 1. Immediate investigation into this account under your FCRA obligations. 

2. Correction or removal of all inaccurate information reported to Equifax.

3. Written confirmation of the outcome of your investigation within 30 days of your receipt of this letter.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XXXX  XXXX  : I received an alert for a transaction of {$3200.00} on my CitiBank Credit Card charged to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX I immediately canceled the card and disputed the charge. It is very strange because CitiBank almost always requires a second verification for larger transactions. 

XX/XX/XXXX : Called CitiBank to follow up on the dispute. They stated that in XXXX business after the dispute date ( XX/XX/XXXX ) that it would be resolved. 

XX/XX/XXXX : Called CitiBank again, they told me to Called the Dispute team, who then told me to call the XXXX XXXX team. So three calls later, and they stated that they had tried to call me previously ( I have no missed calls from Citi Bank ) for information regarding the disputed charge. 
They took the opportunity to ask me these questions, and then sent an automated email saying that they'd tried to call me for more information. So, I called them back yet again ; they confirmed that they had received my information, so I asked them for a confirmation email that I had spoken with them and given the information needed. They stated that they could not send this and that the dispute would be resolved within 90 days. I do not think they are being reasonable in this situation and simply passing around the hot potato to different teams and not resolving my situation. The charge was {$3200.00}, this is crazy

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of a fraudulent credit inquiry from my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified an inquiry that was not authorized by me and appears to be the result of fraudulent activity. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Specifically, Section 604 ( a ), a credit inquiry can only be made with my explicit consent or as part of a transaction or application that I initiated. Since this inquiry does not meet these criteria, it is clear that it was made without my authorization and is therefore fraudulent.

Complaint narrative:
Formal Complaint Regarding Fraudulent Activities and Request for Victim Compensation Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and Cash App Support, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a fraudulent scheme in which I was involved, resulting in a significant financial loss. Over the past year, I was coerced into making multiple Bitcoin transactions through Cash App, totaling {$15000.00}, under the pretense of securing a XXXX from the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). This was a scam, and the perpetrators exploited Cash Apps perceived weak security measures to facilitate their fraudulent activities. 

Despite my attempts to resolve this matter through Cash Apps customer support, I received inadequate responses that failed to address the severity of the situation or provide any meaningful assistance. 

For your reference, I have supplied the wallet ID addresses related to these transactions to Cash Apps customer support. Although it is challenging to transfer all that information in this letter, I am willing to provide any additional details necessary to assist in your investigation. I attached a screen shot file of the wallet I.D.s that we're used for the transactions. 

Given the substantial impact this has had on my life, including the loss of my home, my job, my vehicle, my credit score, and family stability, I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter thoroughly. Furthermore, I seek to be considered for any available victim compensation or impact fund to alleviate the financial and emotional toll this scam has caused. 

I trust that the CFPB will take the necessary actions to ensure accountability and support for victims of such fraudulent schemes. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint to the credit bureaus over a month ago, yet the incorrect information on my report remains unchanged. I have not received any updates from the bureaus, aside from your notification indicating that the company has addressed my complaint. How can I be assured that they have thoroughly investigated the inaccuracies? What verification methods were utilized to assess the accounts? This situation is extremely frustrating. More than 30 days have passed since my complaint, and the disputed accounts are still not updated. If this persists, I will be compelled to pursue legal action due to the significant stress it has caused me. Additionally, I am worried about the security of my personal information, especially in light of the data breach involving Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding Regions Bank 's failure to properly handle both a fraud incident involving my account and the subsequent mishandling of my rewards points. 

Several months ago, my Regions debit card was compromised, and an unauthorized withdrawal was made from an ATM. I filed a fraud claim, but Regions concludedwithout sufficient basisthat I had given permission for the individual to use my card ( this person was a complete stranger to me ). This was not true, and despite my objections, they initially refused to refund my money, but eventually did after I called several times in attempts to speak to someone new. As a result of this incident, I permanently closed all of my accounts with Regions. 

At the time I closed my accounts, I was informed I had 200 days to redeem my rewards points and requested a check for {$170.00}. I was told it would arrive in XXXX business days. After XXXX months with no check, I called Regions and was told the check would be canceled and reissued, again with a delivery estimate of XXXX business days. 

Shortly after that, I received a check, but when I deposited it, my bank rejected it because it had been canceled by Regions. I followed up again and was told no replacement check had actually been issued, and instead, my points were placed back on my closed accountdespite it being permanently closed and inaccessible. Now, Regions is claiming that I only had XXXX  days, not XXXX, to redeem the rewards, and they are refusing to honor the original redemption despite their prior statements. 

Their handling of both the fraud and the rewards issue has been deeply inconsistent and misleading. The most recent representative I spoke with claims she initiated a new claim and gave me a ticket number, but then abruptly ended the call, and I have no confidence that anything is being done.
