Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> I applied for a credit card with Citi bank with the sole intention of using it to balance transfer from XXXXXXXX XXXX. The amount I needed on my credit limit was at least {$12000.00} - otherwise I wouldn't bother taking out the loan. 

Citi provided the information on everything EXCEPT the credit limit, that information was only provided once I'd accepted the terms- they offered me {$1500.00}. If I had known that was the limit, I never would have accepted the loan. This information was deliberately withheld and I believe that's a clear violation of the TILA. 

When I asked for the credit limit to be increased, they said that was the maximum allowed. When I told them to void the account and the credit pull, they avoided giving me any information, wouldn't clarify whether or not my credit pull would be wiped, they would NOT comment on their application process, nor would they take my complaint- they said to submit it on their website.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX assessed a bank garnishment against my account, Chase illegally complied with it and refused to reverse it. The levy is illegal because I am an Oregon resident, this was ( actually ) an out of state lawsuit and process ( although there is an Oregon attorney, the firm is based in California and all processes were performed in California ). The levy was illegal because up to {$2500.00} in funds are automatically exempt in Oregon, per law, and I have/had far less than that currently in my account, thus the funds were exempt.

When I contacted Chase, an associate with limited English abilities attempted to patronizingly explain I was not exempt because the debt was created prior to the law being enacted, however, the law does not account for this, so Chase has still violated my rights.
