Complaint narrative:
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. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I discovered multiple fraudulent accounts, collections, and hard inquiries on my credit report that I did not authorize, initiate, or recognize. These include accounts from XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. Collections were reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. Numerous unauthorized credit inquiries were also made by financial institutions and lenders. 

I submitted a formal identity theft report to the Federal Trade Commission and provided all required documentation to the credit bureaus, including my government-issued ID, proof of current address, and a notarized identity theft statement. I disputed the fraudulent information under Section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and requested immediate blocking and removal. XXXX completed its own investigation and removed all fraudulent information from my credit report. However, this credit bureau has not compliedwith FCRA requirements and continues to report these unauthorized accounts, collections, and inquiries despite having received the same dispute and documentation. This delay and inaction violate FCRA Sections 605B, 607 ( b ), and 611 ( a ).

Additionally, this bureau has failed to correct a personal information error in my file. My address is XXXX XXXX XXXX, not XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and repeated requests to update this have been ignored a direct violation of FCRA Section 607 ( b ), which mandates accurate reporting of consumer information. 

To make matters worse, my personal information was exposed in a data breach, which led to these fraudulent activities. I have attached physical letters I received by mail from companies acknowledging the exposure, as well as a screenshot confirming that my data was involved in yet another breach. This breach significantly affected my credit report and financial harm.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX FL XXXX XX/XX/XXXX EXPERIAN Experian XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, TX, XXXXDear Sir/Madam, I am writing to request the removal of closed accounts from my credit report in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ).

As per the FCRA, closed accounts should be removed from my credit report after a certain period of time, typically seven years from the date of closure. It has come to my attention that closed accounts are still appearing on my credit report beyond this time frame, which is a violation of my rights under the FCRA.

Furthermore, the FACTA requires that accurate and up-to-date information is reported on credit reports. The presence of closed accounts that are no longer relevant or accurate is misleading and could negatively impact my credit score.

I kindly request that you investigate this matter and promptly remove any closed accounts that are in violation of the FCRA and FACTA from my credit report. Failure to do so may result in legal action being taken against your company for non-compliance with federal laws.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this issue. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am a Chime Plus member and recently experienced six unauthorized ATM transactions on my account, totaling {$210.00}. ( XX/XX/XXXX ) These charges were the result of identity theft, and I reported the fraud to Chime immediately after the second transaction occurred via customer support chat. 

Despite my prompt report, Chime delayed taking action and allowed four additional fraudulent transactions to go through. This left me without sufficient funds, causing me to miss my rent payment and incur a {$75.00} late fee. I also lost an additional {$15.00} in ATM fees from the unauthorized withdrawals. I attempted to dispute these fees but was unable to do so through Chimes system. 

I filed a police report with XXXX, Oklahoma XXXX ( XXXX # XXXX ). Despite following all proper procedures and providing official documentation, Chime denied my dispute, stating that no error occurred and refusing to reimburse the stolen funds or the related fees. I recently received a final determination email from Chime informing me that the claim was closed, with no funds being credited back. 

When I contacted Chimes customer support, I was met with disrespectful and unprofessional behavior, including a supervisor laughing while I explained the emotional and financial toll this has taken on me. This experience has caused significant XXXX as I did everything required to report fraud and protect my account, only to be ignored and dismissed. 

Chimes failure to act promptly allowed further losses to occur, and their refusal to take responsibility violates my rights under Regulation E. I am also requesting a review of Chimes dispute handling and customer service practices.

Please let me know if Im missing any important documentation

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

EQUIFAX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports
