Consumer complaint received 2025-06-03 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

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.

Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Check cashing service
Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
A check was mailed to me and was stolen before ever arriving to me. This check was cashed at a Wells Fargo. The name on the check does not match the name on the account. The signature on the back of the check was not my signature. I contacted Wells Fargo to alert them of this and they would not provide me any information or even if they opened a Fraud Investigation because I was not the account holder of the account that cashed the check. Basic fraud preventative measures could have prevented this such as verifying the identity of the individual prior to cashing the check.

The uploaded document shows the check with the forged signature on the back as well as all of the wells fargo information. Please note I do not, nor have I have banked with wells fargo. They confirmed there is not any existence of an account in my name, under my address, or under my social security number.

State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
XXXX, a debt collection agency, is attempting to collect a debt for an apartment application I never submitted. I have repeatedly requested proof of the alleged application, but they have failed to provide any documentation to support the claim. Despite this, the company continues to call me more than three times a day, which I believe constitutes harassment. During one of these calls, the manager raised their voice, demanded that I pay the alleged debt in full, and then abruptly hung up on me. I believe this behavior is inappropriate and unjustified, and I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the ongoing monthly updates to a XXXX account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account ending in * XXXX. 

This account was XXXX XXXX  in XXXX and has had no activity or payments since XX/XX/XXXX, as shown in my credit report. Despite this, Equifax and TransUnion continue to report this account as updated monthly, with a balance of {$17000.00} and a XXXX  status. 

This practice constitutes illegal re-aging under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) XXXX ( c ). The FCRA clearly states that the XXXX reporting period begins XXXX days after the original date of XXXX  which in this case dates back to XXXX. Any effort to keep this account active on my credit report by updating the " last reported '' or " last activity '' dates without new consumer activity violates federal law. 

Additionally, Experian has already removed this same account from my credit file, recognizing its age and rightful expiration. I am requesting the immediate deletion of this account from both Equifax and TransUnion credit files to reflect : Accurate aging, Consistency across reporting bureaus, and Compliance with the FCRA. 


If this violation is not corrected, I reserve the right to escalate this matter through legal channels and seek damages as allowed under the FCRA. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax for their failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 605B, which outlines the procedures for blocking fraudulent information resulting from identity theft.

On, I submitted a request to Equifax to have certain fraudulent accounts removed from my credit report under Section 605B of the FCRA. In accordance with federal requirements, I provided all necessary documentation, including : A copy of my government-issued ID A utility bill as proof of address A completed Identity Theft Report filed with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) A formal written request for the removal of the fraudulent accounts Despite providing the required documentation, Equifax has failed to remove the fraudulent accounts from my credit file within the 4-business-day window mandated under Section 605B ( c ) ( 2 ) ( A ) of the FCRA. Additionally, I have not received any formal written explanation from Equifax stating a legitimate reason for their refusal to block or remove the items, as required by law under Section 605B ( c ) ( 2 ) ( B ).

This lack of compliance has caused ongoing harm to my credit profile, interfered with my ability to obtain credit, and continues to be a source of stress and financial damage. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate enforcement action to ensure Equifax adheres to its obligations under the FCRA. 

Attached are copies of the documents I submitted to Equifax, as well as records of all communications with them regarding this request.
