Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I recently just paid for a copy of my credit reports. upon looking at all of my reports. I noticed that all the three credit bureaus do not match. From the best of my knowledge, all the information reporting with these bureaus should match if they were properly verified as they have continued to state. Also, I'm aware that a collection/charge offs is by default a closed account. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX ACCOUNT NUMBERXXXX IS REPORTING ON XXXX AS CLOSED YET ON EQUIFAX AS XXXXPEN. AND ANOTHER MAJOR DISCREPENCY IS THAT ON EQUIFAX, THE DATE OF THE ACCOUNT BIENG OPENED VS THE DATE ON THE LAST ACTIVITY. THIS IS A HUGE INACCURACY. 
XXXX XXXX, ACCOUNT NUMBER:XXXX  THIS PARTICURLAR ACCOUNT REPORTS INACCURACIES ON THE LAST DATE OF ACTIVITIES ON ALL XXXX BUREAUS. AND ALSO, IT REPORTS DIFFERENT PAYMENT DATES ON THE CREDIT BUREAUS.

Company: Army and Air Force Exchange Service
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
The company, XXXX XXXX, is writing fruadulent checks on my behalf using my signature by which I have not authorized. This is the second time they attempted to process the same check after I had a conversation with them on Monday and they affirmed they will not attempt to bill the account in any way, shape or form until the designee or department on behalf of the company that responds to CFPB inquiries contacts me. 

Yet today, they attempted to process the same check that I did not write which bounced the first time. 

This company will be reported to the FBI to incriminate the representative ( s ) who attempted to bill the account twice by writing a fraudulent check, even after a representative affirmed this would not take place again. This is fraud, period. I will be pursuing criminal charges and will report this issue to local law enforcement as well using forms designated by my financial institution. 

Furthermore, I will immediately pursue this with the Army and Air Force Exchange and federal administration divisions in the federal government in an attempt for the Army and Air Force Exchange to cancel their federal contract they have with XXXX. 

Additionally, I will submit to federal court a petition for a lawsuit against XXXX. I am legitimately in a financial crisis and the only income I receive is from being permanently and totally XXXX. The money they are attempting to take will literally have left us without food and electricity for 30 days with minor children who have medical needs. I am even in the process of attempting to get help to pay my electric bills through a community program and have this very well documented. 

XXXX has completely ignored my concerns and they will attempt to continue to bill by personal checking account with fraudulent checks. Other avenues must be pursued.

Complaint narrative:
Hi, I deposited a check drawn from my Merrill Benefits 401K Account to my Merril CMA Edge Account, and even though it was drawn from the same bank, a hold was placed on the check - and it was to be made available on XX/XX/XXXX. Now since Monday, my account has been disabled, and I have not been given any answers as to why. I have called customer service, never receiving information, expectations, or following through on what is happening. It feels as if my money is being held hostage. XXXX and XXXX, both customer service managers, promised to return calls with updates regarding my situation and then never followed through, leaving me back at square one explaining the story to a new CSR Rep and Manager. I am always left with the fact that they just noted the review would take XXXX to 2 days. I have worked in banking ( XXXX & XXXX ) and have a career in Corporate Finance. I know regulations and standard practices for corporate policies, but this is horrendous. Customer service is barely even close to the definition of the role. Keeping the customer aware and updated on information regarding their own money! It is nonexistent. I want someone to help me, please! I already paid with those funds because I was never alerted or notified of an issue with my account. So you are causing a problem with me at Merrill, and now I am a debtor to a third party. Embarrassing isn't the word.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, Santander is violating my rights and the Fair Credit Reporting Act in particular 15 USC 1681 s-2 which governs furnishers if information. The law prevents furnishers of information from reporting income which is what Santander is doing in the form of reporting a charge off which they reported bad debt and therefore deducted as income. 

15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ( a ) DUTY OF FURNISHERS OF INFORMATION TO PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION 1 ) PROHIBITION ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

Duty : a moral or legal obligation ; a responsibility Accurate : correct in all details ; exact. PROHIBITION : a law or regulation forbidding something As Defined by The IRS Even if you didn't receive a Form 1099-C, you must report canceled debt as gross income on your tax return. 

The IRS Clearly defines a charge off as Gross or Ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes their reporting of this account inaccurate! By Definition The IRS Clearly says a Cancelled debt or Charge off is Income.

The reporting of this account as a debt is in accurate. 15 USC 1681 s-2 Says Santander is a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency.

Santander is PROHIBITED BY LAW to furnish inaccurate information.

15 USC 1681 s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate And in addition they are continuing to report my account as late payments as well which is another violation. 

After seeing the inaccuracies On or around XXXX XXXX I sent a dispute letter to Santander expecting for my concerns to be taken seriously and corrected as the law specifies. On XXXX I received a form letter back with a blanket denial which one of them stating that I had sent a dispute before, which I had for an unrelated issue. Instead of giving my correspondence the respect that it deserved they systematically denied it. 

Santander has been in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting laws numerous times in the past and in fact recently just lost a large judgement for similar behavior which shows a pattern of intent to damage and defraud the public and is not learning from past judgments.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute for the following companies below. I asked that these companies validate my debt and send me the results of their validation.

Collection activities and communications that do not otherwise violate this subchapter may continue during the 30-day period referred to in subsection ( a ) unless the consumer has notified the debt collector in writing that the debt, or any portion of the debt, is disputed or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor. Any collection activities and communication during the 30-day period may not overshadow or be inconsistent with the disclosure of the consumer 's right to dispute the debt or request the name and address of the original creditor.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the mishandling of my credit report by a company within your jurisdiction. Despite submitting a dispute on XX/XX/2023, through certified mail with tracking numbers # XXXX ( Equifax XXXX, # XXXX ( XXXX ), and # XXXX ( XXXX ), the company within your jurisdiction has failed to address my dispute. 

I have made multiple attempts to follow up with the company within your jurisdiction, but it appears they are deliberately avoiding my dispute by not picking up my documents from the post office. This is not only a violation of my rights as a consumer, but it is also a clear infringement of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

I demand that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau takes immediate action to investigate and address this matter. I also request that you hold the company within your jurisdiction accountable for their failure to respond to my dispute and for any further delays or non-responsiveness. 

As a consumer, it is my right to have my credit report accurately reflect my creditworthiness, and I will not tolerate any further delay or mishandling of my dispute. I expect a prompt and satisfactory resolution to this matter. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
