Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because the consumer reporting agency has reported unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report that were not initiated or authorized by me. This constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and ( B ) ( i ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ) ( 5 ), which prohibit reporting inquiries not initiated by the consumer unless specific conditions, such as prior written consent or a firm offer of credit, are met. I did not provide any written authorization for these inquiries, and their presence on my credit report is therefore unlawful. Additionally, the agency has failed to provide documentation or evidence of a permissible purpose for these inquiries.

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I understand that the CFPB has filed a statement of interest in the XXXX  bankruptcy case, indicating their belief that XXXX  may have violated the Consumer Financial Protection Act. I am writing to provide a personal statement regarding the financial and emotional harm I have experienced as a result of the account disruptions tied to XXXX XXXX XXXX and its associated partner banks and XXXX  platforms. 

* * My Background * * I was a customer of Juno your XXXX  platform which used XXXX XXXX XXXX  to facilitate banking services. My account was held at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and was frozen on or around XX/XX/year>, without warning. 

* * The Harm I Suffered * * When my account was frozen, I had {$8700.00} in the account. Since then, I have recovered {$0.00}, still inaccessible over a year later. 

This interruption has caused me significant hardship. Specifically : I missed rent payments, leading to eviction threats. I was unable to buy groceries or pay for basic necessities. I experienced severe XXXX  and distress due to the sudden loss of access to my savings. I had to take on debt or loans to survive while waiting for my funds. 

I am not a XXXX XXXX or an XXXX XXXXI am a retail consumer who trusted a financial product that was marketed as safe and FDIC-insured. No one should lose access to their legally deposited money because of behind-the-scenes failures between banks and middleware providers.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: London & London
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing an alleged debt that continues to be reported and collected without lawful validation. 

Pursuant to FDCPA 809 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) ), I demanded full validation, including : Proof of ownership of the debt, A copy of the original signed agreement, A complete account history with itemization, and The full chain of assignment or transfer if the debt was sold.

I also requested the credit bureaus provide the method of verification under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ). None of these required documents have been provided. 

Instead, XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX, XXXX. has already informed the CFPB in response to a prior complaint that the account does not belong to them. This is direct acknowledgment that no lawful ownership exists. Despite this, the account remains on my credit report and is still being pursued by third-party collectors.

This is a clear violation of both the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), which prohibits furnishing information that is not accurate or verifiable, and the FDCPA, which bars continued collection activity without proper validation. 

I am requesting immediate deletion of this tradeline from all credit bureaus and cessation of all collection activity. Reporting and attempting to collect a debt without proof of ownership, after admitting the debt does not belong to the creditor, is unlawful.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
My monthly escrow deposit amount is {$350.00}, or {$4200.00} per year. My homeowners insurance for 2025 was {$1900.00} per year and property taxes were {$760.00} which add up to {$2600.00} per year. 

Not sure how they can charge me an extra {$1500.00} for the year when there was not an increase in taxes an/or insurance from the previous year to equal that amount. 

They stated that I somehow had a shortage in escrow and the increase was to cover the shortage but I can't understand their math.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Im writing to formally dispute an inaccurate tradeline currently being reported on my credit file. The information being reported is not accurate, and more importantly, it fails to meet the standard of maximum possible accuracy as required by 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Let me be clear if a tradeline can not be reported with complete and verifiable accuracy, then you are not legally allowed to report it at all. Right now, the way this account is appearing on my credit report is misleading, harmful, and not reflective of my true credit history. Thats unacceptable, and I will not sit back while my credit profile is being damaged by something that shouldnt even be there.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because the consumer reporting agency has reported unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report that were not initiated or authorized by me. This constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and ( B ) ( i ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ) ( 5 ), which prohibit reporting inquiries not initiated by the consumer unless specific conditions, such as prior written consent or a firm offer of credit, are met.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I recently obtained my credit report and found information that is inaccurate and harmful to my credit history. Specifically, my credit file contains an account ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) that I never authorized to be reported, nor did I give my consent for them to be furnished to any credit reporting agency. 
At no time did I provide written authorization, verifiable electronic consent, or any other form of permission allowing this information to be included in my credit file.

LEGAL VIOLATIONS : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681b, a consumer 's credit file may only contain information obtained for a permissible purpose, which generally requires the consumer 's express consent. The inclusion of this account and the related inquiries in my filewithout documented proof of my consentconstitutes a direct violation of this section and represents the unauthorized use and disclosure of my non-public personal information.

Additionally, under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), when a consumer submits a report to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) identifying disputed information, the credit reporting agency must block that information within four ( 4 ) business days. I submitted such a report to the FTC ( Report XXXX : XXXX ), which clearly identifies the disputed items. Despite this, TransUnion continues to report the account and the inquiries, causing ongoing harm.

TransUnion has also failed to meet its obligations under FCRA 1681e ( b ), which requires that credit reporting agencies maintain only accurate, verifiable, and complete information in a consumer 's file. The lack of verifiable documentation from the furnisher or the agency demonstrates that this legal standard has not been met.

As a result, my credit score has been negatively affected, limiting my access to credit, housing, and other essential financial opportunities. Specifically : I have been denied for legitimate credit applications due to this unauthorized account When approved for credit, I am forced to pay significantly higher interest rates I was recently denied rental housing because of this negative information My insurance premiums are higher due to credit-based pricing This has caused ongoing financial stress and embarrassment.

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. Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud.
