Complaint narrative:
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 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.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding several credit inquiries that appear on my consumer report which I never authorized. I have disputed these items multiple times with the credit reporting agency, yet they continue to remain, suggesting that no meaningful or lawful investigation was conducted as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I have no documentation or recollection of granting any of the listed companies permission to access my credit file on the dates shown. These inquiries were not made with my written approval and therefore do not qualify as having a permissible purpose under FCRA 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ). The entries in question are : Creditor Name Date of Inquiry Reason for Dispute XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/year> Unauthorized / No Permissible Purpose CAPIXXXXAL XXXX XX/XX/year> Unauthorized / No Permissible Purpose XXXX XX/XX/year> Unauthorized / No Permissible Purpose XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Unauthorized / No Permissible Purpose XXXX XX/XX/year> Unauthorized / No Permissible Purpose XXXX XX/XX/year> Unauthorized / No Permissible Purpose

Credit bureau is displaying misleading information. It shows I was 90 days past due 57 times and that is incorrect. They continued to report me as 90 days past due after the account charged off and this is false. I have tried numerous times to resolve but to no avail. Respectfully requesting that this be corrected as soon as possible.

Complaint narrative:
DESPITE MY PRIOR DISPUTES AND FORMAL NOTICE, THE REPORTING AGENCY FAILED TO CONDUCT A LAWFUL REINVESTIGATION AS REQUIRED UNDER 15 U.S.C. 1681I OF THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT ( FCRA ). THE AGENCY WAS EXPLICITLY NOTIFIED OF INACCURACIES AND PROVIDED SUFFICIENT DETAIL TO TRIGGER A DUTY OF REASONABLE INVESTIGATION. HOWEVER, THEIR RESPONSE CLEARLY SHOWS NONCOMPLIANCE : NO VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE, DOCUMENTATION, OR CERTIFICATION OF DATA ACCURACY WAS EVER PRODUCED. INSTEAD, THE SAME ERRONEOUS INFORMATION CONTINUES TO BE REPORTED A DIRECT VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW. 
BY LAW, CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES MUST : 1. CONDUCT A REASONABLE REINVESTIGATION WITHIN THE STATUTORY TIME FRAME, 2. DELETE OR CORRECT ANY UNVERIFIABLE OR INACCURATE INFORMATION, AND 3. PROVIDE WRITTEN VERIFICATION OF THEIR FINDINGS AND THE SOURCES RELIED UPON. 
NONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS WERE MET. THEIR INVESTIGATION WAS CONCLUSORY, UNSUPPORTED BY PRIMARY EVIDENCE, AND FAILED TO PROVIDE ANY PROOF OF VERIFICATION OR CHAIN OF CUSTODY OF THE DATA IN QUESTION. THIS CONSTITUTES BOTH PROCEDURAL NEGLIGENCE AND WILLFUL DISREGARD OF FEDERAL OBLIGATIONS. 
ADDITIONALLY, UNDER 15 U.S.C. 1681E ( B ), THE AGENCY HAS A CONTINUING DUTY TO FOLLOW REASONABLE PROCEDURES TO ASSURE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION IT REPORTS. RETAINING OR RE-REPORTING UNVERIFIABLE DATA BREACHES THIS DUTY AND CAUSES TANGIBLE CONSUMER HARM, REPUTATIONAL DAMAGE, AND DENIAL OF FAIR CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES. 
THEIR FAILURE TO ACT LAWFULLY AFTER NOTICE TRANSFORMS THIS MATTER FROM SIMPLE NEGLIGENCE INTO RECKLESS NONCOMPLIANCE AND BAD FAITH CONDUCT.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally appealing the recent denial of my dispute regarding the transaction dated XX/XX/XXXX for {$300.00} paid to XXXX XXXX XXXX identified under Dispute XXXX. 

I cooperated fully with the dispute process, providing evidence that the contracted servicea brake system repairwas grossly defective, incomplete, and resulted in a dangerous, non-operational vehicle, representing a clear breach of the implied warranty of fitness and merchantability. The vehicle immediately exhibited symptoms of failure, including the illumination of the brake warning light ( evidence previously submitted ), directly demonstrating a significant public safety hazard. 

Furthermore, this merchant negligence compelled me to seek corrective repairs from a separate, qualified facility, resulting in documented, unnecessary financial damages totaling {$600.00}, which is a direct consequence of the original merchants failure. Chime 's subsequent denial of this claim, without providing a clear, documented rationale, constitutes an unacceptable failure to protect an account holder against a merchant who provided a defective and unsafe service, thereby undermining the assurance of the " Zero Liability '' promise in handling claims based on merchant performance. I hereby demand that Chime immediately reverse the denial and issue a full credit/refund for the disputed amount of {$300.00}, and provide a written response detailing the specific rationale for the initial denial within ten ( 10 ) business days. Failure to provide a satisfactory resolution will necessitate escalation through all available regulatory channels.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be no confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Complaint narrative:
A XXXX account was reported to Experian as a collection even though I was never sent any bills, past-due notices, or account statements after the account was closed. I requested proof of mailing from the furnisher, and they were unable to provide any evidence that they notified me of a balance before reporting it as delinquent. I only became aware of this account after it appeared on my credit report, and I paid it immediately once I was informed. Experian is reporting this as a valid collection despite the furnisher failing to provide required documentation. This reporting is inaccurate and harmful, and I am requesting that Experian remove this item since it can not be verified according to FCRA requirements.
