Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXXXXXX BLATANTLY VIOLATES SEVERAL FCRA regulations. XXXX XXXX account was CHARGED OFF on XX/XX/XXXX on XXXX, TransUnion XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX of XXXX. XXXX XXXX continues to report it as a charge off/ collection status open, with discrepancies between each of the credit bureaus.

Additionally, XXXX XXXX has violated the GLBA ( 15 U.S.C. 6802, also known as section 502 ( b ) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ) by failing to provide me with a clear and conspicuous notice of their intent to share my nonpublic personal information with nonaffiliated third parties. This coincides with 16 CFR 313.7 ( Form of opt out notice to consumers ; opt out methods ) 16 CFR 313.10 ( Limits on disclosure of non-public personal information to nonaffiliated third parties ) and 248.124 ( Reasonable opportunity to opt out ) Furthermore, XXXX XXXX  has violated my rights under the Privacy Act of 1974.

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Summary for CFPB Metro 2 Compliance Challenge ( Escalation Request ) I am escalating this complaint due to the failure to properly address my previous dispute under FCRA. The first time, I filed a traditional FCRA dispute, which gave them 30 days to respond. However, this time, I am not disputing the accountsI am demanding immediate deletion under Metro 2 Compliance standards, which requires them to either prove compliance or remove the accounts immediately within 5 business days.

Under CDIAs Metro 2 guidelines, TransUnion is required to ensure that all data is fully compliant with Metro 2 formatting and reporting standards. These accounts do not meet Metro 2 compliance, meaning they must be deleted immediately or they will be in violation of federal data reporting laws.

Key Issues with their Non-Compliance : They have already been notified but are acting as if they did not receive my previous request.

These accounts are not properly formatted under Metro 2, making them legally unreportable and subject to immediate deletion.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) & 1681i ( 5 ) ( A ), they must either validate full Metro 2 compliance or delete these accounts immediatelynot in 30 days, but within 5 business days.

I have re-attached my Metro 2 Compliance Letter with full documentation for review. 

Thank you for your prompt attention.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB official : I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction and concern regarding significant issues with my Marcus account ( Marcus by Goldman Sachs ). 

Background : I deposited over {$20000.00} into my Marcus account. 
When attempting to transfer these funds back to my original savings account, I received an error message stating that such a transfer is not permitted. 
Despite multiple attempts, the transfer failed and subsequently my account was locked without prior notice. 
Issues Encountered : Verification Code Failure : When I contacted customer service, I was informed that a one-time verification code was required. However, after providing three different phone numbers ( all of which reliably receive other verification codes ), I was told that the code could not be sent to any of them. 
Account Closure & Refund Denial : Upon requesting the immediate closure of my account and a full refund of my deposit, I was informed that this was not possible. Instead, I was asked to fill out a paper form and mail it in for a lengthy review process. 
Discriminatory Concerns : I am extremely troubled by these practices and suspect that my limited English proficiencyand possibly racial factorsmay have influenced the treatment I received. I am unaware of any internal notes or justifications that have been placed on my account. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and and inaccurate information.

Complaint narrative:
First box 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:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am filing a formal complaint against Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion for their failure to verify and validate the accuracy of a charge-off account appearing on my credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit bureaus have a legal obligation to ensure that all information reported is 100 % accurate, verifiable, and substantiated.

Key Issues with Credit Reporting : Failure to Properly Verify the Charge-Off Before Reporting It The credit reporting agencies are responsible for ensuring that any derogatory account they report has been fully validated before adding it to a consumers credit file. 
I have disputed this charge-off directly with Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion, yet they failed to provide me with proof of any independent verification process conducted before or after placing this account on my report.

Without clear evidence that they conducted proper due diligence, they are violating FCRA Section 623, which mandates that all furnished data must be accurate and fully substantiated.

Inconsistent & Unverifiable Information Across Bureaus The charge-off account is reported differently across all three bureaus, with discrepancies in : Date of first delinquency Balance owed Account status and pay status Scheduled removal date If this information can not be verified with 100 % accuracy, the bureaus must remove it under FCRA Section 611.

Increased Risk of Identity Theft Due to a Confirmed Data Breach I received a formal notification from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX confirming that my personal and financial information was compromised in a data breach. 
Given that my sensitive financial data was exposed, the accuracy of any account linked to my identity must be questioned. 
The credit bureaus failed to take this breach into account when validating the information they received before reporting the charge-off, which is a serious compliance issue under FCRA Section 605B .
