Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Mailed letters on XX/XX/year> to dispute inaccuracies on my account and each time I was mailed a stall letter saying they fell someone else as sent my information. This is a direct violation of the FCRA. Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this complaint is a formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not 30 more. I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.

Complaint narrative:
By listing these accounts in this dispute, they have contravened my rights as protected by 15 USC 1681e ( b ). As a result of providing inconsistent information to each credit bureau, I experienced the negative consequences of a diminished credit score. In accordance with the rigorous liability standard of the FCRA, culpability against a CRA can only be established for a single violation. At present, I have no intention of initiating legal proceedings against your agency ; however, I would appreciate it if you could rectify the error that appears in my consumer report. If this erroneous information persists, I will be compelled to resolve the situation independently. Credit bureaus are required by law to report only 100 percent accurate credit information. It is imperative that every effort be made to ensure that the information being reported is entirely precise and true. Therefore, the following information requires further investigation.

Complaint narrative:
Fabco has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e - False or misleading representations, 15 U.S. Code 1692f - Unfair practices, and FCRA laws. I am urging the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to conduct an investigation into this company 's actions. Additionally, I am requesting a monetary settlement and the removal of the items from my credit report. Notably, the account went to a XXXX balance on XX/XX/2024, but without prior notice, it was later reinstated with a balance of {$2900.00}. This lack of communication is unacceptable and further highlights the company 's disregard for fair practices.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computer-generated 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.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I received an email a few months ago that stated the account could not be open without further identification process from Bank of America. Upon calling them I learned that there was two checking accounts opened in my name with my Social Security that I was not aware about. I asked for documentation proving how this was opened in my name with my social, and what ID was used to use this. They could not provide any information besides telling me that the account would be closed due to identity fraud. I asked for documentations to be sent to my address so I can view everything and nothing was ever sent to me. I do not know if these accounts are still open or how they manage to open them without my consent, but still had my Social Security on file I have never banked with Bank of America. Ive had the same bank account for 16 years with XXXX so I am completely lost how they even had my information. After learning of this account, I called XXXX and they were able to put a credit lock on my name for a year, which I believe has expired.
