Complaint narrative:
I filled a dispute on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX due to Federal Law 15 U.S Code 6802, no financial institution can share my non public information with a third party entity. Given the severity of this breach and the resulting compromise, I requested they immediately cancel and discharge this debt as I have no federal obligation to this debt. XXXX denied to follow up with the investigation. I recently was notified that CFPB has filed a lawsuit against the company ( XXXX ). They alleged the company of accepting unreliable information and failure to notify consumer dispute results. This aligns with my situation! XXXX XXXX XXXX has not attempted to remove, nor correct any information. Given the severity of this breach and the resulting compromise, I request that they immediately cancel and discharge this debt in full as it is affecting my chances of getting a house and car, XXXX XXXX XXXX violates my rights as a consumer, as well as federal laws. The breach violates the contract and renders it null and void.

Complaint narrative:
I requested debt validation through credit dispute. CKS Prime Investments LLC did not provide this information. The debt was removed from my credit report. Two months later I received a summons for small claims court. My first court appearance i asked the attorney for debt validation. He was unable to provide any paperwork or information. The judge provided 30 day extension to provide information. I showed up to court 2nd appearance. CKS filed paperwork due to my dispute they needed more time a few days before hearning. I was not served paperwork/update for continuance until after my court hearing. I found out CKS filed the motion by showing up to court. I was told the dtlate had been moved. Again I have had to request time off from work. I have to go back to court a 3rd time on XX/XX/year>. I now feel I am being harassed through the legal system. I have to take time off from work to deal with this matter.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> a transaction for {$2900.00} was fraudulently made from my checking account with US Bank to a company called XXXX. I had previously had problems receiving notifications that attempts were being made to login to my online banking and contacted the bank immediately. During that time they thought that my debit card was compromised and issued me a new card. On XX/XX/XXXX, during the middle of the night, I received a text message to verify my identity to login to my account. I did not respond and the next morning logged into my checking account to see the fraudulent transaction for {$2900.00} to XXXX. I immediately contacted the bank and started the claims process. The account was frozen and a new account was opened with any remaining funds transferred. On XX/XX/year> provisional credit was issued to the new account for {$2900.00}. However, on XX/XX/year> an ACH transaction made by the bank removed {$2900.00} from my account which resulted in the account being overdrawn. I contacted US Bank customer service and was told that the investigation by the bank was complete and they denied my claim. I received no letter or paperwork about this. The agent said my options were to contact XXXX directly. However, I have no account with that company. No further assistance was provided to me by US Bank.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the presence of fraudulent information on my credit report, in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request the immediate blocking and removal of this information. Enclosed with this letter is a copy of my police report, along with the identity theft report filed with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as supporting evidence of my identity theft claim. 

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as fraudulent within four ( 4 ) business days. 

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked and removed immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX Additional Legal Basis : Violation of Section 1681b of the FCRA Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681b establishes the permissible purposes under which a credit bureau may provide a credit report to third parties. This law clearly states that a credit bureau may only furnish a consumer report under specific circumstances, one of which includes obtaining the consumers express written consent. 

As I never provided written or express consent for the inclusion or reporting of the fraudulent information in question, there is no valid legal basis for this information to remain on my credit file. 

Requested Actions Immediate blocking and removal of the fraudulent account listed above.

Written confirmation of the removal of the fraudulent information.

Assurance that the deleted information will not be reinserted into my credit report in the future.

Several times, I have contacted the credit bureau reporting this fraudulent account on my report, yet CREDIT BUREAU has failed to provide a solution to this issue. This situation has significantly affected me, preventing me from acquiring a new home for my children. Furthermore, this account has already been deleted and not verified by other bureaus, which raises concerns as to why it remains on my report. 

I have requested contracts from the company in question containing my information, yet after more than 60 days, I have not received any response. Please help me delete this account immediately. I am once again attaching the FTC report in the hope that you will make a fair decision regarding my case. 

I appreciate your prompt response and resolution to this matter. I expect a reply within the legally required timeframe.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

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 unverified accounts unresolved. The Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of disputes outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items. Which in turn, caused harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
