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: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing this verified account pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and I request that this inaccurate and unauthorized account be blocked or removed immediately. 
I have attached my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence. 
Under the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i, 1681c-2, and 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies must block or remove inaccurate and unauthorized information within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving an identity theft report. Despite my prior complaint and attempts to resolve this, the following inaccurate and unauthorized account was verified on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX This verification is causing significant harm to my credit and financial opportunities. I have requested verification and contract copies from the reporting company, but after 60 days, received no response. This account was previously removed by other agencies due to lack of verification. This simple verification is illegal, as no evidence or written certification of my authorization for this account has been obtained. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the reinsertion or verification of previously deleted information requires written certification from the data furnisher confirming accuracy, and the consumer must be notified. This was not done in my case, violating federal law. 
I urge the CFPB to ensure EXPERIAN complies with the law by blocking this inaccurate and unauthorized account immediately and confirming the action taken.

Complaint narrative:
They told me if i could prove I wasnt fired and which I was on medical leave due to health. They have everything, which they said if I do and can pay almost $ XXXX, they would. They kept saying they didnt have enough and denied. I submitted more information and they said its denied for being too old. My HUD councilor asked to file an appeal. They said its nothing to appeal because they just took the information and they never actual did the application. My HUD councilor told them thats not legal. They were to say no options or take the actual application, process it then decide. She further told them they agreed on the phone if I did and paid everything would be okay. They said okay. They rarely replied.

Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I responded to an urgent request for community aid to help prevent a family with small children from being immediately evicted with no place to go. The request included a list of options to donate. Among those options was a XXXX handle and a XXXX handle. I erroneously entered the given XXXX handle, XXXX XXXX  in a transaction on XXXX instead of using the XXXX handle that they had provided. 

On the morning of XX/XX/XXXX, the transaction was already posted as pending at my bank ( XXXX ). The bank informed me that I could dispute the transaction, but that I could not stop payment as it was already pending. 

I tried multiple times to contact XXXX. I was eventually told they are not able to cancel or re-route the transaction, but only after being dropped from chat multiples times without having the issue resolved. There seems to be no way to contact them by phone. 

I ultimately was told through mutual friends that the user I erroneously sent to has a delinquent XXXX account and can't access the funds, so XXXX is keeping the money I sent and not actually delivering it to the recipient. They're effectively stealing the money from me to pay a debt I did not accrue.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the late payment entries on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to have these errors reviewed and corrected, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all necessary documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the inaccuracies remain unresolved. 
These ongoing issues have caused financial hardship and negatively impacted both my credit and overall well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been frustrating and emotionally taxing. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history, including the correction or removal of outdated, incorrect, or unverifiable information. I am therefore requesting that your office take immediate action to update or remove the disputed late payment entries.

Company: T.S. Holdings
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
am writing in direct response to IQ Data XXXX XXXX XXXX.s recent communication to the CFPB dated XX/XX/, 2025, regarding the above-referenced complaint. After reviewing their response, I would like to formally assert my position and exercise my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 
IQ Datas letter acknowledges that this alleged debt is time-barred, confirming that it is beyond the statute of limitations for legal enforcement. This admission is significant because time-barred debts are no longer legally actionable, and any attempt to collect or threaten litigation would constitute a violation of the FDCPA. Additionally, I have not made any payments or acknowledgments that would revive the statute of limitations, and I do not intend to do so. 
Given this acknowledgment, I am formally demanding that IQ Data immediately cease all contact and collection attempts related to this account. Furthermore, if this account continues to appear on my credit report and is over seven ( 7 ) years old, I am invoking my rights under the FCRA 605 ( a ) to demand its permanent removal from all consumer reporting agencies.

Continued reporting or contact regarding this obsolete, time-barred debt would constitute a willful violation of federal law and subject the agency to further regulatory and legal action. I respectfully request written confirmation that all collection activities have ceased and that any reporting of this account has been deleted.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust both the CFPB and IQ Data will act swiftly to ensure full compliance with all applicable consumer protection laws.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Despite repeated attempts to resolve these matters, Equifax continues to allow damaging inaccuracies to persist on my credit profile. These unresolved errors are more than just frustratingthey are unjust, and they are actively interfering with my ability to move forward financially. Every time I apply for a loan, a credit card, or any financial opportunity, these incorrect entries stand as barriers that I shouldnt have to face. It is unacceptable that after multiple disputes, you still havent taken the appropriate steps to ensure your data is correct. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you are legally required to verify every single reported item with original, legitimate documentation. If you can not confirm the accuracy of these records with credible, dated evidence, then these entries have no place on my report and must be removed immediately. I am demanding that you conduct a thorough reinvestigationnot a generic response, not a rubber-stamped review, but a meaningful audit backed by proper documentation. Continued delays and inaction will be treated as a deliberate and unlawful disregard of your obligations under federal law. Ive been more than patient, but my patience has run out.
