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: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have repeatedly attempted to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, yet no significant action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the inaccuracies on my credit report remain unresolved. This prolonged issue has led to ongoing financial strain and has severely impacted my well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been both frustrating and mentally exhausting. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history, including the timely correction or removal of any outdated or incorrect information. I am urging you to take immediate action to either update or delete the reported late payment entries. Continued failure to act would be a direct violation of my rights under federal law. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a timely resolution.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Immediate Action Required Violation of My Consumer Rights This letter serves as a formal demand for immediate correction and removal of certain items from my credit report due to violations of my federally protected rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The following accounts have blatantly breached my rights to privacy and confidentiality, as outlined under 15 U.S.C. 1681, and I will not tolerate these illegal actions.

Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681, Section 602 ( A ) : I am entitled to privacy, and these accounts are infringing on that right.

Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681, Section 604 ( A ) : According to the law, no consumer reporting agency can furnish an account without my explicit written consent. I did not authorize these accounts to be reported.

Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) : No adverse items of information should appear on my report if they date back more than seven years, unless they are criminal convictions. These items are outdated and must be removed immediately.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, at a Bank of America ATM, I was approached and harassed by a man who pressured me into helping him deposit a money order. I never gave explicit consent, and I was clearly confused and intimidated. The man inserted the money order himself, pressed buttons on the ATM without my consent, and initiated the transaction despite my attempts to stop him all of which should be visible on ATM surveillance footage. 

He then gave me a phone number and told me to XXXX {$1700.00} to it the next day, promising I could keep {$50.00} for the favor. I followed the instruction under the belief the funds were legitimate. Days later, the money order bounced, and my account went negative. 

I filed a claim with Bank of America, which was denied twice, even after I submitted a police report. Their response classified the XXXX transfer as authorized and directed me to XXXX, which also denied the claim and sent me back to Bank of America, creating a loop of finger-pointing and no accountability. 

After my second CFPB to complaint, a Bank of America customer service representative called me directly and said theres nothing we can do and this is your fault. I was shocked by this unprofessional and victim-blaming response. This conduct demonstrates not only a lack of support but also a refusal to treat this as the fraud and coercion it clearly was. 

This was not a typical XXXX transaction : I did not know the recipient. 
I was physically and verbally coerced into interacting with the ATM. 
The man initiated the transaction himself. 
I was misled into thinking the funds were real. 

The main issue is I was a victim of a scam and it is Bank of Americas responsibility to make sure their ATM does not recognize fraud checks or money orders. 

I've had to have cops come over my apartment to pick out the scammer who did this as this is an ongoing case and I am not the only victim.

This meets the standard for an unauthorized electronic fund transfer under EFTA. The bank has : Ignored critical evidence including ATM surveillance.

Failed to recognize the coercive circumstances.

Refused to acknowledge their customer was manipulated and placed at risk on their premises.

Complaint narrative:
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!

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I paid off my account with Comenity BankXXXX XXXX XXXX but due to an accidental oversight of a small balance under {$1.00}, additional interest and fees accrued. I was never notified of this remaining amount. The bank later slod the account, and now my credit report shows a balance of around {$400.00}. The new owner of the debt is not listed, and I have no way to verify or resolve this directly. I am requesting this be removed or corrected due to lack of communication, the disproportionate growth of the debt, and the absence of a current reporting creditor.

Complaint narrative:
SUBJECT : FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES ( CPS ) - UNFAIR VEHICLE REPOSSESSION & LACK OF NOTICE I AM WRITING TO FORMALLY FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES ( CPS ) REGARDING THE REPOSESSION AND SALE OF MY VEHICLE. CPS INITALLY INFORMED ME THAT I HAD UNTIL XXXX XXXX, TO REINSTATE MY LOAN AND RECLAIM MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, DESPITE THIS AGREEMENT, I LATER DISCOVERED- THROUGH PHONE AND ONLINE COMMUNICATION THAT MY VEHICLE HAD ALREADY BEEN SOLD BEFORE MY REINSTATEMENT DEADLINE. 

FAILURE TO PROVIDE LEGALLY REQUIRED NOTICE THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, CPS NEVER SENT ME OR MY CO SIGNER ANY FORMAL NOTICE ABOUT THE REPOSESSION OR SALE OF MY VEHICLE. THE ONLY MAIL RECIEVED FROM CPS CONSISTED OF PAYMENT DUE NOTICES, SHOWING THAT I OWE XXXX. AT NO POINT WAS I INFORMED IN WRITING THAT MY CAR WOULD BE REPOSSESED OR SOLD, NOR DID MY CO SIGNER RECVIEVE ANY SUCH NOTIFICATION. THE FIRST WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION I RECIEVED REGARDING THE SALE WAS A DEFICIENCY LETTER, ARRIVING AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD, STATING THE I OWE A REMAINING BALANCE OF {$16000.00}. 
VIOLATION OF CONCUMER PROTECTION LAWS UNDER ILLINOIS REPOSSESSION LAWS, LENDERS MUST FORMALLY NOTIFY BORROWERS BEFORE SELLING A REPOESSED VEHICLE, ALLOWING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO REINSTATE THE LOAN OR SETTLE THEIR BALANCE. CPS 's FAILURE TO PROVIDE THIS NOTICE DENIED ME THE CHANCE TO RECLAIM MY VEHICLE, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. THIS MISLEADING AND UNLAWFUL ACTION HAS PUT ME AT A MAJOR DISAVANTAGE IN RESOLVING MY LOAN BALANCE AND TRANSPORTATION NEEDS.

REQUEST ACTIONS : 1. PROOF OF REPOSSESSION AND SALE NOTICES THAT CPS SHOULD HAVE SENT TO ME AND MY CO SIGNER BEFORE SELLING MY VEHICLE.

2. A DETAILED RECORD OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN CPS AND MYSELF REGARDING THE REINSTATEMENT AGREEMENT.

3. A FULL BREAKDOWN OF THE VEHICLE SALE, INCLUDING SALE PRICE, DEDUCTIONS, AND REMAINING BALANCE.

4. AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHETHER CPS VIOLATED REPOSSESSION LAWS AND FAILED TO PROVIDE PROPER NOTICE.

5. A FAIR RESOLUTION, INCLUDING POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT OR ADJUSTMENT OF THE DEFIENCY BALANCE DUE TO CPS 's FAILURE TO NOTIFY ME.

GIVEN THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS ISSUE. I EXPECT A PROMPT RESPONSE AND AM PREPARED TO ESCALATE MY COMPLAINT RECEIPT OF THIS LETTER AND PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON THE NEXT STEPS.
