Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
After receiving a email from Equifax notifying me that my personal information has been in a data breach. I discovered negative and unauthorized information on my credit report and immediately contacted Experian, Equifax and TransUnion to dispute the items in question. I provided the necessary documentation to support my claim, explaining that these debts were not incurred by me and were a result of fraudulent activity linked to the Equifax data breach. Despite my efforts, Experian, Transunion and Equifax denied my cases, asserting that the information had been " verified '' and leaving the fraudulent entries on my credit report. This denial has caused significant distress, which has negatively affected my financial stability and mental well-being, as these negative marks are damaging my credit and financial standing. Specifically, I faced multiple instances of being denied services, including credit applications and other essential opportunities. I believe that Experian, Transunion and Equifax has not fully investigated the potential fraudulent activity tied to the Equifax data breach and I am seeking further assistance to correct the errors on my reports. I remain committed to resolving this matter and protecting my financial well-being.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally report and express concern over recent actions taken by several major payment processorsspecifically XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and PayPalthat I believe constitute unlawful suppression of legal expression and potentially monopolistic behavior. 

These companies have reportedly imposed content-based restrictions on platforms such as XXXX, XXXX, and other online gaming marketplaces, pressuring them to remove entirely legal, fictional video games from sale. These games feature cartoon content and do not depict real people. They are fully protected by U.S. law regarding creative expression and consumer access.

The role of payment processors is to facilitate financial transactionsnot to act as de facto censors of lawful digital content. When a handful of dominant financial institutions leverage their position to effectively ban certain types of expression by withholding services, it raises deeply troubling questions about free speech, fair competition, and due process. 

Furthermore, I believe XXXX, XXXX, and Paypal, in particular, exhibit monopolistic characteristics that have allowed them to execute this overreach unchallenged. Their extensive control over the digital payment landscape puts them in a position to coerce businesses into compliance with arbitrary content policies. In my view, this is not only unjustits dangerous. 

I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate these companies ' policies and practices, to assess whether they violate existing regulations on consumer rights, financial access, and anti-monopoly law. If necessary, I believe corrective actionsincluding divestiture or regulatory reformshould be considered to protect American consumers and creators alike from ideological and economic gatekeeping. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Experian Information Solutions Inc regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ). Despite clear legal notice, Experian Information Solutions Inc continues to willfully report inaccurate data in violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), 1681i, and FDCPA 1692e and 1692f. I have exhausted all attempts to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau. I now request the CFPB to investigate and enforce compliance.

Company: Oliphant United, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
This Complaint serves to document my good faith efforts to resolve an outstanding question regarding the alleged debt referenced in previous correspondence. In accordance with my rights as outlined by federal law, I initiated formal communication to seek verification and clarity about the account in question. 

Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, beginning in XX/XX/year>, I contacted Oliphant USA , LLC on three occasions via Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested. 

On XX/XX/year>, Oliphant USA , LLC provided the attached billing document. However, this document does not contain sufficient information to establish ownership of the referenced debt. Furthermore, Oliphant USA , LLC has not responded to my subsequent requests for more detailed information regarding this matter. 

OLIPHANT USA , LLC subsequently reported this outstanding debt to all three credit bureaus. As they have been unable to provide adequate proof of ownership for the debt, I have formally requested the removal of this collection from all three credit bureau reports. 

Despite my repeated efforts and clear communication, OLIPHANT USA , LLC has failed to fulfill their legal obligation to provide comprehensive validation of the alleged debt. I remain committed to an open and transparent dialogue and have consistently acted within the rights and procedures afforded to consumers under federal law. Until proper and sufficient documentation substantiating the debt and its ownership is presented, I respectfully maintain that this collection entry is unsupported and should be permanently removed from my credit history. I trust that this record of my actions demonstrates a continued willingness to resolve the matter in good faith and in accordance with all applicable regulations. 

I have enclosed photo ID.

Complaint narrative:
Im writing because I submitted a formal dispute to Experian in XX/XX/year> regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. It has now been more than XXXX calendar days and Experian has not provided any response, investigatory results, or updated report. Under 15U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Experian is legally required to complete a reinvestigation within 30 days ( or 45 days if I provided additional documents ) and notify me, free of charge. They were also required to acknowledge receipt and notify the furnisher within 5 business days of receiving my dispute What Ive experienced : I filed a dispute in XX/XX/year>, via certified mail ( return receipt kept ). No acknowledgment within 5 business days. No reinvestigation conducted within 30day deadline. No written findings or corrected credit report. No update to the disputed item. This delay and inaction is not only frustratingits a violation of FCRA law. I feel dismissed and powerless without a company to answer timely questions or verify their reporting with accuracy.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off
Company: Southern Auto Finance Co
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against Southern Auto Finance Company ( SAFCO ) regarding the mishandling and delay of a refund owed to me following the repossession and sale of my vehicle. 

I made a payment to SAFCO in late XXXX ( either XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/year> ). However, I was unaware that my car had already been repossessed three hours before that payment. Shortly after making the payment, I received a phone call from SAFCO, which disconnected. When I called back, I was informed that the vehicle had already been taken earlier that day. Despite the payment going through, my vehicle was not reinstated, and I was later informed a refund would be processed following the sale of the vehicle at auction. 

I was told it would take 30 days from the sale at auction for my refund to be issued. On XX/XX/year>, I spoke to a SAFCO representative who informed me that no check had been mailed out. However, today, XX/XX/XXXX, I was told the check was mailed sometime around the week of XX/XX/XXXX. I have yet to receive any mail or communication from SAFCO or XXXX XXXX. Today it was said that XXXX XXXX was supposed to mail it to me. As of today, I have not received anything or heard anything from XXXX XXXX either. 

I have spoken to multiple representatives at SAFCO, and each call has only resulted in confusion, contradictory information, and no resolution. I was only able to reach a supervisor today, after refusing to get off the phone until I could speak to someone in authority. The process has been completely disorganized, and I feel I am being given the runaround. I have received no documentation in the mail despite being told otherwise. 

I am not comfortable waiting until XX/XX/year>, just to be told the same thing again. I am also not confident that mailing a check is a reliable option. I have not been offered a direct deposit option despite my willingness to provide banking information to expedite the process securely. 

Please investigate this matter. I expect to receive my refund promptly and without further delays.
