Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a complaint regarding several Buy Now, Pay Later ( BNPL ) purchases through XXXX, which are incorrectly reported to Experian as unsecured personal loans. These transactions were short-term installment plans, each with a repayment period of XXXX or 6 months, not traditional credit products. 

Here are the XXXX accounts in question as they appear in my Experian report : XXXX. Account : XXXX Opened XX/XX/XXXX {$510.00} Paid off by XX/XX/XXXX Reported as Unsecured loan XXXX. Account : XXXX Opened XXXX XXXX, XXXX {$630.00} Term : 3 months Still open Reported as Unsecured loan XXXX. Account : XXXX Opened XXXX XXXX, XXXX {$210.00} Term : 6 months Still open Reported as Unsecured loan XXXX. Account : XXXX Opened XXXX XXXX, XXXX {$200.00} Term : 3 months Still open Reported as Unsecured loan XXXX. Account : XXXX Opened XXXX XXXX, XXXX {$180.00} Term : 3 months Still open Reported as Unsecured loan These are BNPL purchases, not traditional loans. XXXX  own reporting labels them as Buy Now Pay Later, and they were all paid or are being paid on time. However, reporting them as unsecured personal loans has negatively impacted my credit score. 

I contacted both XXXX and Experian requesting correction, but both denied any wrongdoing. Im attaching screenshots from XXXX and my Experian report for proof. 

I request that these be correctly reclassified as short-term BNPL accounts or removed if they are not credit-impacting according to XXXX  BNPL policy.

I do not recognize these accounts, collections and hard inquiries as reported.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX has failed to conduct a proper investigation. They have violated 15 usc 1681s-2b A-E and they have not even considered all relevant information regarding the dispute because the inaccuracies are all the same still. This account was also not even marked as disputed on my credit reports so this is a clear indication that these disputes were not processed correctly. This is a violation of 1681n and 1681o for being negligent and willfully non compliant. These debts are also been securitized in a trust so XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX does not even own the debt anymore. Which is another inaccuracy for putting on my credit report.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I initially filed a complaint ( XX/XX/year> ) regarding an unlawful denial of business credit by Citi Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). Since then, despite the unresolved dispute and my ongoing case, I received a prescreened exclusive invitation to apply for a Citi business credit card only to be denied again. 

I consider this a deceptive marketing practice in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and possibly the Truth in Lending Act, especially given that inaccurate or unlawful credit data may have been used in both decisions. 

I am requesting a full investigation into Citis marketing, approval, and dispute resolution practices regarding small business credit applicants, including how prescreened offers are being used in bad faith.

Complaint narrative:
To the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, ChexSystems has once again failed to address the core issue in my complaint. 

While they acknowledge their role as a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), they continue to deflect responsibility by stating that banks make the final decision to deny accounts. This statement is disingenuous and ignores the fact that the data ChexSystems provides is the * * basis for those denials * *. 

ChexSystems also states that they will send me a copy of my consumer disclosure report but this is only being done * * after multiple complaints and delays * *. As of today, I still have not received a full file disclosure, nor have I been provided any explanation or verification of derogatory entries that may exist in my file.
