Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute regarding inaccurate information on my credit report under FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). I provided supporting documentation proving the information was incorrect, yet the credit bureau failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation within the 30-day statutory period. Instead, the disputed information remains on my report without any meaningful changes or explanation. This is a direct violation of my right to a timely and thorough reinvestigation.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
My credit report has certain accounts that I'm not familiar with. Since I never gave them permission, they could be the product of identity theft. Having previously discussed this with you, I'm writing to request that these accounts be promptly deleted from my report in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit bureaus rectify erroneous information on consumer credit reports. These accounts have caused me stress because they are on my report. It's been difficult to deal with the impact because they don't represent my financial responsibility or credit history. I'm ready to take legal action to protect my rights and find a solution under the FCRA if we can't work this out. The inaccurate items that appear on my credit report have been a big obstacle for me. They're getting in the way of my important financial goals, like buying a house and taking care of my family. I hope we can resolve this issue quickly.

State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers.

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing the Navy Federal Credit Union account being reported because it contains major inaccuracies and inconsistent information across the credit bureaus. I previously mailed multiple dispute letters directly to Navy Federal requesting verification of the account, proof of ownership, and correction of inaccurate reporting. They failed to provide any of the requested documentation. 

The account is being reported with conflicting dates of last payment and last activity, contradictory high credit/limit information, and different closure reasons across XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. In addition, the charge-off is being reported as if it occurred multiple times, which is misleading and violates FCRA and Metro 2 reporting standards. 

Because the furnisher did not provide verification and continues to report inaccurate and inconsistent data, this account should be removed from my credit reports, or at minimum corrected immediately to reflect accurate, consistent information.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint against several creditors and furnishers for the continued reporting of inaccurate, misleading, and unverified information on my credit reports in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. 

The following accounts are being reported inaccurately and without proper verification : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX | Charge Off These accounts are being reported in ways that are inaccurate, misleading, and damaging to my credit profile. Specifically : Charge-offs and late payments are being reported inconsistently and without proper proof of accuracy. 

Some accounts show balances of {$0.00} but are still marked as Charge Off, which is contradictory and misleading. 

The furnishers have failed to provide proper documentation validating these alleged debts or reporting statuses. 

The repeated negative reporting constitutes continued harm and defamation of credit, which violates FCRA provisions requiring accuracy and completeness of reporting. 

I have already disputed these items with the credit reporting agencies, yet the furnishers continue to report inaccurate data without providing any method of verification as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i. 

I am demanding that the CFPB investigate these violations immediately. The creditors and furnishers listed above must either : Provide full, documented verification of these accounts, including original signed contracts and accurate payment histories ; OR Immediately remove these accounts and all derogatory information from my credit reports.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Citibank for their refusal to investigate unauthorized recurring charges from a merchant named " XXXX. '' For over 20 months, from at least XX/XX/XXXX to the present, a charge appeared on my credit card statement every month from " XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. '' The monthly amount was {$10.00} from XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, and then increased to {$11.00} from XX/XX/XXXX onward. I have never used or signed up for this service. 

I first attempted to resolve this with the merchant directly, but they were only willing to issue a partial refund for up to XXXX months, citing a company policy. I then sent a formal dispute letter to Citibank on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Citibank responded with a letter stating they could not assist with charges older than XXXX months. This is in direct conflict with my rights as a consumer under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) regarding unauthorized charges.

I am requesting that Citibank fulfill their obligation to investigate all unauthorized charges and issue a full chargeback for the entire period of the fraudulent activity.
