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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

" " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my ( CHANGE TO NAME OF BANK ACCOUNT ). I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law. '' '' "

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: VT

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I have been trying to get a letter from Chase stating that they reversed 2 small late fees on an old credit card of mine ending XXXX as it is having a negative impact on my credit score and I am trying to get a mortgage. I had called to close the account and apparently in remained opened. There was a balance of {$340.00} on my account which I paid on XX/XX/year> as soon as I realized it hadn't been closed. While the card is currently closed with a XXXX balance, this is not sufficient information for XXXX to remove the XXXX strikes against my report. I have been trying to get a letter from Chase stating that they reversed the two fees, but they only send me a standard letter showing the card is closed with a XXXX balance. The issue on my report is only about those XXXX late fees that Chase didn't even make me pay because of the misunderstanding as we had previously requested to cancel the card. 

Is there anything you can do to escalate this quickly? 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On my credit report, there are two entries for a XXXX XXXX XXXX account with the same account number ( # XXXX ). One account is listed as opened on XX/XX/XXXX, and closed in XX/XX/XXXX, while the other account is listed as opened on XX/XX/XXXX, and closed within the same month. 

Both entries are outdated and should no longer be on my credit report, as they fall outside the seven-year reporting limit set by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). These accounts have been closed for more than seven years and, per FCRA guidelines, are ineligible to remain on my credit report. Continuing to report these accounts violates my rights under the FCRA and creates an inaccurate representation of my credit history.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Someone hacked into my Experian account and changed the password, username, phone number, security question, and lifted a credit freeze. 

Once noticed, I was able to recover my account for about XXXX hours. 

At XXXX the following morning, someone changed the information again.I called again to recover my account and they had a completely different process using generated security questions about something that happened over 15 years ago ( a car purchase where i wasnt sure of the year ; i was at work and panicking ). This did not happen the first time i recovered my account. 

They told me I failed and they did not allow any other way to recover my account. They told me I can try again after 72 hours. They refused my request to speak with a supervisor and hung up on me.

The issue is with their terrible security and non-willingness to help customers during a very stressful situation. They are essentially allowing my credit to be wide open for a hacker to use for at least 72 hours.

The ease with which anyone can take an account is neglegent when they are unwilling to work with fraud victims to recover accounts.

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

Complaint narrative:
Capital One card ending in XXXX. I no longer have the full account number because I cut up the card after I canceled the account. 
My card was being used for housing during a family issue. Authorized up to credit limit. After limit reached charges were denied, and then began to be charged irregularly. 
# On XX/XX/XXXX I called and was told system was down for maintenance those times. To end problem I canceled the over limit option. 
They continue to accept charges and on XX/XX/XXXX I called again and was told that they had a contract with the business that over -rode my canceled over limit option, and I was responsible for stopping them from presenting charges, but could close the account. I closed the account. 
XXXX XXXX the account was closed they once again added charges to the account. I called back to dispute the charges made after XX/XX/XXXX. I believe that my account/contract allows me to make decisions on whether or not over limit charges are made. They claim it does not and then actually charged to a closed account. The five charges that were unauthorized total {$4100.00}.
