Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Notification didn't disclose it was an attempt to collect a debt
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

State: AR

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XXXX  sent XXXX letters, XXXX letter stated they received my Identity Theft letter and that they would investigate. The other letter said based on their investigation, it appears the account was open legitmately because a billing statement was sent to my address and the account was activated from an IP address that is associated with me. 

They did not do a thorough investigation in XXXX day. They did not send verification of the IP address. They did not send a contract signed with my signature and a copy of my ID which is required for credit contracts in the state of XXXX. FCRA 15 U.S.C 1681-2 ( b ) state the Furnisher has a duty to investigate. Once notified by a credit bureau, the creditor/furnisher must conduct their own investigation into the disputed item. They must review all evidence, verify the information, and report back to the bureau. 

They failed to provide written results of the investigation with supporting evidence. 

I am also a victim of the Equifax data breach and all information regarding my identity theft from this breach has been sent to all bureaus.

Complaint narrative:
Formal Notice of Intent to Pursue Legal Action for Fraudulent and Illegal Credit Reporting Practices To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally place TransUnion on notice regarding your role in ongoing and unlawful credit reporting practices connected to my consumer file. Your company has engaged in, and continues to engage in, actions that violate federal and state law, including but not limited to : Fraudulent credit reporting by knowingly maintaining and/or reporting inaccurate, incomplete, and false information. 

Participation in identity theft by allowing fraudulent accounts and transactions to be reported under my personal credit profile. 

Wire fraud through the electronic transmission of false and misleading credit information. 

Illegal credit tampering by altering, suppressing, or failing to update accurate information related to my accounts.

Fraudulent refusal to report legitimate lines of credit that may have been opened in my name without authorization.

Credit score repression and manipulation intended to damage my financial standing and personal life.

Overall fraudulent and deceptive business practices in violation of consumer protection laws.

These actions constitute serious violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), the Truth in Lending Act, as well as federal criminal statutes addressing fraud, identity theft, and wire fraud.

Be advised that I will be pursuing civil legal action against TransUnion for damages caused by these violations, and I also intend to seek criminal charges against all parties involved in these fraudulent practices.

You are hereby directed to immediately investigate, correct, and provide full documentation regarding all credit lines, inquiries, and reporting activity associated with my credit profile. Failure to comply will result in my proceeding with litigation and filing formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and the Office of the Attorney General in my state.

I request your full written response within 15 days of receipt of this notice.

State: TX

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 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I have been long-time American Express XXXX Amex ) customers for over nine years, during which we diligently accumulated Membership Rewards points through responsible credit card usage. 
Collectively, I had accumulated approximately XXXX Membership Rewards points across my accounts. However, on or around XX/XX/year>, we were shocked to find that Amex had abruptly and unilaterally canceled both of our credit card accountswithout prior notice, explanation, or an opportunity to resolve any potential issues. To make matters worse, all of our accumulated Membership Rewards points representing nearly a decade of loyalty and responsible spendingwere forfeited immediately upon account closure. This is deeply unreasonable and disproportionate, especially given the absence of any formal communication explaining the cause of the account closures or providing an avenue to dispute or appeal the decision. I attempted to contact Amex customer service, but was only informed that the decision was final and that the forfeiture of the points was standard policy following account termination. No explanation for the closures was provided, and we were offered no opportunity for resolution. We consider this action to be unfair and unethical. Not only were our accounts closed without due process or transparency, but the loss of a substantial amount of earned rewards built over yearsrepresents a serious breach of trust. We respectfully request that Amex : Provide a clear explanation for the closure of both accounts. Reinstate or compensate us for the nearly XXXX forfeited Membership Rewards points. Offer an opportunity to appeal or resolve any issues related to our account status. We seek the CFPBs assistance in addressing this matter and ensuring fair treatment.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Equifax for the continued reporting of inaccurate late payment entries, despite my dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The account in question is : BANK XXXX XXXX XXXX.... Late Date XX/XX/year> These late payment notations are the direct result of the furnishers internal reporting errors. I never failed to make timely payments on these accounts. The furnishers misreported my payment history to Equifax, yet Equifax continues to publish this inaccurate information on my credit file. I previously disputed these inaccuracies with Equifax under FCRA 1681i, which requires them to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and delete or correct any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. Equifax failed to conduct a proper investigation and continues to report these unverifiable late payments. Per FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers are prohibited from reporting information they knowor have reasonable cause to believeis inaccurate. Despite this, XXXX reinvestigation process failed to identify or correct these reporting errors. These false late payment entries have caused significant damage to my creditworthiness, emotional distress, and financial harm, as they have negatively impacted my credit score and ability to obtain favorable credit terms.
