Complaint narrative:
I wish to underscore that the inclusion of inaccurately reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises significant concerns but also represents a blatant violation of the regulations delineated in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, an integral component of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically aims to safeguard consumers against unjust billing practices and mandates the accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment associated with these accounts has been diligently and promptly rendered within the specified timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also contravenes the legal protections enshrined within this statute. It is imperative to promptly rectify this situation to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and disappointment with how your bureau has handled my identity theft complaints. This issue involves not only the theft of my personal data but also highlights the apathetic approach your bureau has taken in managing my case. 

I have submitted all required documentation, including the FTC report I filed with the Federal Trade Commission, to prove my innocence and the criminal nature of the actions involved. Despite the severity of the situation and its significant impact on my life, your bureau 's response has been alarmingly inadequate. Communication regarding the status of my disputes has been sparse, and the responses I have received were generic and unhelpful. This lack of attention and urgency has left me feeling neglected and unsupported by the institution I trusted to protect my credit and financial well-being. 

I urge your bureau to take my identity theft case seriously and expedite the investigation process. Please thoroughly review the evidence I have provided and promptly remove the fraudulent account and transactions from my credit report. Additionally, I request that you implement measures to prevent such incidents from recurring, as it is evident that my personal information was mishandled and exploited.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing once more to express my bewilderment at your credit bureau 's handling of the investigation into the accounts, as I continue to dispute the presence of fraudulent accounts on my credit report. As you are aware, I have submitted the required FTC report regarding this fraudulent account. Following my submission, both XXXX and XXXX removed this account from their records. I have also directly contacted the company associated with this account, and they have confirmed the removal of the account. Therefore, I am puzzled as to why this account is still being reported by your bureau. It is imperative to recognize that as a credit bureau, you are legally bound to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of your records. Failing to remove this fraudulent account not only violates this obligation but also exposes me to further harm.

Company: SoLo Funds Inc.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
Issue 1 : They force you to pay a donation of 15 % for a loan and if you dont offer to pay that much you pretty much wont get your loan funded.

Issue 2 : They hid the fact that donations are optional. There is a button to toggle off voluntary donations in settings, but they dont tell you that the button is there or how to use it. So for the first few loans I took out I had to pay this donation and didnt have a choice or know I had a choice to toggle it off. I probably lost {$200.00}. 
Issue 3 : This is definitely the biggest issue by far. Starting on XX/XX/24 out of nowhere, I started receiving an error that my debit card could no longer work on the site. There was no reason for this. At the time I had a loan out that was due on XX/XX/24. I was told that there was an update being done to the app which none of the users were notified about ahead of time and had no idea whats happening. Since XX/XX/24 everyone I try to re-add my debit card I get an error message. Today is XX/XX/24 so this has been going on for over a month. What seems fishy to me is that my loan seemed to pay back automatically with the same debit card on XX/XX/24 with no issues but yet Im still told my debit card cant be added and therefore I cant use the site to take out a new loan. Customer service is no help. You can only email or chat and they just keep giving a canned response that they are still working on the update and that every day more and more users are able to use the app. They can not give any kind of ETA on when things will be fixed or exactly what the problem is. What kind of app update takes more than a month. Something very fishy is going on with this company. And they are deceiving their consumers who have come to rely on this app for lending needs.

Complaint narrative:
The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I hope this will be the final CFPB report I need to file, and that AMEX will demonstrate mutual understanding before I pursue further legal action. As a consumer, I have the right to have my complaint handled seriously by AMEX. We have reached this point because AMEX has been responding to my complaints with automated messages each month without investigating the new information I have provided. 

Regarding dispute XXXX, I am seeking clarification on why this dispute was not resolved in my favor. I have obtained diagnostic reports from three separate mechanics from different companies, all indicating that the car was not repaired as claimed. The engine was not changed as stated. Furthermore, the merchant informed me that AMEX never contacted them after XX/XX/2023, despite my submission of new information in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and through multiple CFPB reports. The text that the merchants provided even further proves my point. 


For dispute XXXX, I accept the resolution. 

For dispute XXXX the merchant ALLOWED me to return after 30 days. I was out of the country in XX/XX/XXXX when the refund was filed so they gave me the return label at XX/XX/XXXX saying that I would just need to return within that month. The email that the merchant made an exception was provided in the email I sent to Amex. 

I did not receive {$2400.00} more than what was billed. 
For dispute XXXX I paid XXXX downpayment and XXXX towards the loan XXXX total and got back a total of XXXX. I was missing XXXX. I did not treceive XXXX additional. Please make this right. 

Please call me to make this right. Thanks
