Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of identity theft. A fraudulent XXXX XXXX XXXX auto loan in the amount of approximately {$110000.00}, allegedly opened in XX/XX/year>, continues to appear on my Experian credit file. 

I have filed an FTC Identity Theft Report ( Report # XXXX ), and I have provided Experian with copies of my government ID, proof of address, and prior dispute correspondence. Each time I dispute this fraudulent account, Experian temporarily removes it, but XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX re-furnishes the same false information, and Experian allows it to reappear. 

This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : FCRA 605B requires Experian to block identity theft accounts once proper documentation is submitted. Furnishers are prohibited from re-reporting the blocked item unless they certify its accuracy. Since this account is fraudulent, such certification can not be made. 
FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 6 ) prohibits a furnisher ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) from continuing to provide information about an account after being notified it is the result of identity theft. By allowing XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to re-furnish this account, Experian is enabling ongoing violations.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I purchased flooring and installation through XXXX XXXX ( formerly XXXX XXXX ) and financed the total cost through Synchrony Bank. I signed an agreement for an all-in price of {$8200.00}. This was clearly documented and signed by me. 

Later, I noticed a second charge of {$1000.00} was added to my Synchrony account. I never authorized this charge and did not sign any document approving it. Synchrony provided documentation in response to my dispute, but those very documents confirm my position : there is no signature or approval for the additional charge.

I submitted a dispute more than once. Synchrony denied it, claiming I had signed for the charge. However, the packet they sent includes my signed agreement for {$8200.00} only, and no signed authorization for the {$1000.00}. The installation notes they relied on also contain inaccuracies ( e.g., listing a pool table that was not present during installation ).

I sent a formal demand letter to Synchrony and have not received a response. The unauthorized charge remains on my account despite clear evidence that it was never agreed to. XXXX XXXX is in bankruptcy, so my only available recourse is through Synchrony Bank. 

I am requesting that the {$1000.00} charge be removed from my account and the balance adjusted to reflect the actual agreed-upon total.

Complaint narrative:
Email : XXXX LOAN ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX Respondent : Santander Bank, N.A. 
Website : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Nature of Complaint Fraudulent withdrawal, phishing exposure, failure to investigate consumer fraud reports, non-responsiveness to complaints, and unlawful/improper charges on a loan account. 
XXXX  Facts of the Case 1. I obtained an unsecured loan from Santander Bank and have been making monthly payments via automatic withdrawal from my checking account for over three years without incident. 
2. On XX/XX/year>, I noticed a fraudulent withdrawal in the amount of {$220.00} from the same checking account that was set up for auto-pay.

3. I immediately reported this suspicious transaction both to
Santander Bank and to my checking account bank. 
4. My checking account bank promptly took action by placing a stop and closing the account to prevent further fraudulent activity.

5. Santander Bank, however, failed to investigate or resolve my complaint, despite multiple reports made over the last four months. 
6. Santander has also added frivolous and unjustified charges to my monthly loan payments without providing explanation or documentation. 
7. As an online bank, Santander does not provide a clear or dedicated channel for reporting fraud, leaving consumers like me vulnerable and without protection. 
XXXX  Violations and Concerns Santanders conduct may constitute violations of consumer protection laws, including the prohibition against unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices ( UDAAP ) under the Dodd-Frank Act.

Failure to provide a mechanism to report fraud or to investigate reports constitutes negligence and puts consumers at financial risk.

The unauthorized withdrawal and unexplained charges have caused me financial harm and undue stress. 
XXXX  Requested Relief I respectfully request that regulatory authorities direct Santander Bank to : 1. Immediately investigate the fraudulent withdrawal of {$220.00} on XX/XX/year>. 
2. Refund the unauthorized withdrawal and reverse all frivolous and unjustified charges added to my account.

3. Provide a corrected statement of my loan balance and monthly payment schedule.

4. Establish and communicate a clear process for consumers to report fraud and phishing activity.

5. Confirm in writing the resolution of this matter and the corrective actions taken. 
XXXX Supporting Documentation Bank statements showing the fraudulent withdrawal.

Complaint records filed with my checking account bank.

This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
