Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute certain negative entries currently listed on my credit report. Despite multiple requests and the submission of all necessary supporting documents, these inaccuracies have not been properly addressed. My repeated follow-ups have been met with little to no action, and the continued presence of these errors has caused significant financial and emotional stress. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to an accurate and verifiable credit report. I am requesting that you take immediate and thorough steps to investigate and correct these items. Failure to resolve them in a timely manner would constitute a violation of my rights under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I was sent to collections for an outstanding debt allegedly owed to an apartment complex I moved out of. I was never sent an email, a note in the mail, or given any sort of notification of what was being deducted from my security deposit or that I owed more on top of what was taken from the security deposit. I was only made aware I owed any money once collections started contacting me about a debt. I have asked for proof of the certified mailers receipt many times and have yet to be provided one. Or provided any proof of communication between myself and the apartment complex post move out.

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed an inaccurate automobile loan account on my credit reports with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i. The account, with the same account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, is reported as Kia Motors Financing on XXXX  and XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX XXXX This inconsistency in creditor names for the same account is a material inaccuracy that is negatively impacting my credit, causing a drop in my credit score, and denial of a personal credit card and mortgage applications.

Under FCRA Section 611, the credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and delete unverifiable information within 30 days. 

I provided evidence, including credit report excerpts, showing the account details. XXXX failed to correct or delete the inaccurate account and failed to provide an inadequate response .. Additionally, under FCRA Section 623, the furnisher ( Kia Motors FinancingXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX must report accurate information and correct errors. The inconsistent reporting suggests the furnisher is providing unreliable data, violating my FCRA obligations.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX and IQ Data International for placing a collection item that is not owed on my credit report. 

A collection account has been reported to the credit bureaus under my name, alleging that I owe a balance to XXXX XXXX of {$1200.00} and has been updated to {$65.00}. However, this information is completely inaccurate. I contacted XXXX XXXX directly, and they acknowledged in an email that the collection account was placed in error and should not be on my credit report. This has been ongoing since XX/XX/2025. 

Despite this written admission from XXXX XXXX, the collection account is still showing on my credit report and continues to negatively affect my credit standing. I have made multiple attempts to resolve the issue with both XXXX XXXX and IQ Data International, but the process has been unnecessarily difficult, and no action has been taken to remove the item. 

This incorrect collection is unfair and is impacting my financial well-being. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and assist in ensuring that the false collection account is removed from all major credit reporting agencies, including XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I can provide a copy of the email from XXXX XXXX that confirms the collection account is an error. Please let me know if you need any further documentation. 

Thank you for your assistance.

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 XXXX 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.

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:
XXXX charged my XXXX  account at the beginning of XXXX, about 2 weeks ago, and it went negative approximately XXXX cents. I never received an email ( I checked spam and every inbox ) alerting me my account was frozen. I was directed to go to XXXXXXXX  on a computer through their help pages, which I did multiple times on multiple browsers, but it only redirected to my main account screen that said my account was frozen. My aunt sent me {$100.00} about a week ago which should have restored my account. My account is still frozen and I do not have access to my money. I have called, chatted in, emailed, and opened multiple tickets multiple times. None of my tickets have been responded to. The live chat agents told me a specialist should contact me within 24 hours, but that has never happened despite multiple emails, multiple chats, multiple tickets, and multiple calls. This is absurd. I also cant close my account because I have a tiny amount of XXXX that I am required to sell in the app, but I cant because the account is locked. Nobody is helping me and now I dont have access to my money. Please help me!

Fast forward a month later on XX/XX/XXXX I was told that I would receive a provisional credit on XXXX XXXX, come that day I received an email stating that the account is now limited to where I can no longer withdraw access or use anything in the account. My dispute was raised XX/XX/XXXX. They gave me a timeframe of XXXX business days from XX/XX/XXXX to where if nothing was final with their decision they would issue A provisional credit. Had they done their due diligence, and issued the provisional credit before they decided to close the account there would be no need for me saying their holding my money unjustly.
