Complaint narrative:
This is a follow-up complaint regarding [ Experian / XXXX  / XXXX  ] . I previously filed a dispute and complaint under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), but the bureau continues to ignore its obligations. The inaccurate accounts remain on my file despite clear statutory violations. As established in Sessa v. TransUnion ( 2023 ), Kirtz ( 2024 ), and Norman v. TransUnion ( 2023 ), such conduct is unlawful and has already resulted in significant liability for the credit bureaus.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Company: CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION, THE
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I used a XXXX ATM and mistakenly deposited {$930.00} cash into my debit card. The machine accepted the money but then displayed an error message. The receipt indicated a deposit of XXXX, but I did not receive my money back. I immediately contacted XXXX, which advised me to call Charles Schwab ( my bank ). Schwab then told me to contact XXXX. I drove to a XXXX branch, where the teller told me it was a Charles Schwab issue.

By this time, it was XXXX XXXX, and the banks were closing. I returned to XXXX this morning and was again told to contact Charles Schwab. They keep going back and forth about their inability to file a dispute, even though my money has been taken and I have a physical receipt.

There is no contact information on the actual ATM machine itself. XXXX nor XXXX XXXX will give any contact information for the ATM machine provider.

I am hoping you can help with this matter, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Complaint narrative:
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. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have written letters ( XX/XX/year> ), called numerous times about an XXXX XXXX XXXX  data breach, freezing my reports, and trying to regain online access to freeze & unfreeze my reports as needed. There is no ability to talk to a live person. There are no written responses to written requests.

I was able to get a fraud alert & get this report frozen in XX/XX/year> & since that time, all communication has become next to impossible.

I spent 2 hours on the phone on XX/XX/year> & numerous calls totaling 3 hours on XX/XX/year>, trying to talk to someone to get this resolved. The only result was getting transferred, hung up on, and fighting with automation, which gets no results whatsoever. 

Trying to upload copies of supporting information online only results in error messages like connection failed or server can not be reached through multiple browser attempts via different browsers. 

I am sick and tired of getting the runaround trying to protect my identity & credit. It should not be this difficult!

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint due to unauthorized inquiries persisting on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).
