Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I discovered an unauthorized Target XXXX account was fraudulently opened in my name. After an investigation, Target confirmed the account was opened fraudulently, closed the account, and removed the balance. They also notified the national credit bureaus to remove the account from my credit report. 

However, despite this confirmation, XXXX continues to report the account with negative remarks such as " charged off '' and " account closed by credit grantor. '' I have disputed this multiple times with XXXX, providing them with documentation, including the official fraud confirmation letter from Target. Despite my efforts, the account remains on my report, negatively impacting my credit. 

Attached is the letter from Target confirming the fraud and their request to remove it from my credit report. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my report, I noticed inquiries from different creditors which I did not authorize. I am concerned they may be linked to identity theft or fraudulent activity. I kindly request that you investigate these inquiries and remove them from my credit report if they can not be verified as authorized. I have attached my letter to the Bureaus and still these inquiries were still reported to my current report.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: First Credit Services Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding incorrect debt collection practices by First Credit Services and XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received services from XXXX XXXX totaling {$95.00}. My insurance paid {$45.00}, and I paid {$50.00}, resulting in a documented XXXX balance. On XX/XX/XXXX, First Credit Services sent me a collection notice ( which I received on XX/XX/XXXX ) showing drastically different amountsclaiming an original debt of {$400.00} with credits of {$350.00} and a remaining balance of {$50.00}. This significant discrepancy in the reported original amount ( {$400.00} vs. actual {$95.00} ) demonstrates that First Credit Services is attempting to collect a debt using incorrect information. The collection notice claims the debt was owed as of XX/XX/XXXX, which is the same date as my original service, yet shows amounts that do not match my legitimate bill from XXXX XXXX. I have documentation proving the actual amounts and XXXX balance. I request an investigation into why First Credit Services is using incorrect debt amounts and why XXXX XXXX provided them with inaccurate information about my account. This complaint is being filed within the 30-day dispute period from my receipt of the collection notice.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Experian had failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) 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 notify consumers of dispute outcomes adequately. These failures align with my experience, Where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective actions to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Despite submitting evidence to support my claims, Experian has neither corrected nor removed the disputed items. I am demanding immediate corrective action, as this failure to act violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I recently reviewed a copy of my credit report and realized some alarming information. I found there were fraudulent accounts that I have no knowledge of. I am disputing these inaccuracies and fraudulent accounts because none of these items on my report represent any transaction I made. I believe I am a victim of Identity Theft. 
These accounts being reported on my credit report calls for action of deletion because these accounts show many inaccuracies or fraudulent charges not made by me across all bureaus that show these accounts. This is in clear violation of my Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall- ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation, and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. 
Please remove the following items from my credit report, immediately :

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Equifax NEVER received my written permission to report the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account, which means they are already violating 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) by reporting this account without my written authorization. But it doesnt stop there. Equifaxs failure to ensure accurate reporting also violates 15 USC 1681e ( b ), which explicitly requires credit reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy in the information they report. This negligence demonstrates complete disregard for federal law and my rights as a consumer. Despite multiple disputes regarding this account, Equifax has willfully refused to remove it, which constitutes repeated violations of 15 USC 1681n and 15 USC 1681o. These actions demonstrate both willful and negligent noncompliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. By continuing to report this inaccurate information, Equifax is knowingly disregarding federal law, which exposes them to liability for damages of at least {$1000.00} per violation, plus additional punitive damages for willful misconduct. This unresolved account has caused severe harm to me, including emotional distress, damage to my reputation, and financial loss. I demand immediate removal of this account from my credit report. Equifax must confirm this action in writing and provide an updated report without delay. Failure to resolve this matter will result in further legal and regulatory action. I trust the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and ceases these harmful practices immediately.
