Complaint narrative:
I submitted a formal written dispute to the credit reporting agency regarding inaccurate and/or unverifiable information appearing on my credit report. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), the credit reporting agency is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of the disputed items and provide the results within 30 days of receiving the dispute.

It has been over 30 days since my dispute was received, yet the agency failed to provide the required reinvestigation results or any written notice explaining a delay. This constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i.

Additionally, I have reason to believe my nonpublic personal information was accessed, shared, or used without proper authorization or disclosure, in violation of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ), 15 U.S.C. 6802, which governs obligations with respect to the disclosure of personal information. I was not provided with a clear privacy notice, nor given the option to opt out of sharing my data with third parties. This further supports my claim that my consumer rights under federal law have been violated.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2025 XXXX  XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) withdrew XXXX identical payments of {$110.00} from my XXXX XXXX XXXX  account, even though I only authorized one payment. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2025 to report the duplicate withdrawal. The representative told me the duplicate payment would be refunded back to my bank account. 

It has now been over two weeks, and no refund has been issued. On XX/XX/2025, I called again and was informed that the refund request was never submitted and was cancelled without any notice to me. 
No one I spoke with could explain why the refund was cancelled, who cancelled it, or why I was never notified. 

When I asked to speak with a supervisor, I was placed on hold and then told I would receive a callback but I was not given a supervisors name, no callback timeframe, and no case/reference number. I was essentially disconnected without resolution. 

This duplicate withdrawal is an unauthorized transaction, and XXXX XXXX has failed to correct the error or investigate it in a reasonable timeframe. I have documentation showing both withdrawals from my bank account, if needed. 

I am requesting the CFPBs assistance in ensuring that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : 1. Immediately issues the refund for the unauthorized duplicate withdrawal 2. Provides a written explanation of why the refund request was cancelled 3. Provides a case number and the name or ID of a responsible supervisor 4. Corrects any financial harm caused by their delay 5. Improves communication regarding disputes and refund status Due to their inaction, I have already begun the Regulation E dispute process with my bank ( XXXX XXXX ) to recover the unauthorized duplicate withdrawal. 

I am requesting that the CFPB review this issue and ensure XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX legal obligations to correct unauthorized duplicate transactions.

Complaint narrative:
This letter is a formal notice of dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurately reported late payment dates on the above-referenced account appearing in my credit file. 
The reported derogatory payment data is factually and legally incorrect and constitutes a violation of my rights under multiple federal statutes. 
Creditor Name : [ XXXX XXXX  ] Account Number : [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] FCRA SECTION 602 RIGHT TO

PRIVACY ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) Under the FCRA, I have a right to privacy in the handling and dissemination of my credit information. The credit bureau is not permitted to report data that is inaccurate, unverifiable, or misleading, especially when such reporting creates a false impression of delinquency. FCRA SECTION 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) NO WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION GIVEN ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from furnishing account information without the consumers written instructions. I have never given written authorization for the dissemination of false or misleading late payment information.

TILA SECTION 1666b IMPROPER LATE PAYMENT DESIGNATION ( 15 U.S.C. 1666b ) According to the Truth in Lending Act, a creditor may not treat a payment on an open-end credit account as late for any purpose if received by the due date or within the grace period.

Reporting a late payment that was not legally late is a blatant violation of this federal protection and exposes both the data furnisher and the credit reporting agency to liability under 15 U.S.C.

1681i.

Complaint narrative:
Greetings, I appreciate your attention to this matter. My name is XXXX XXXX. I have some unfortunate news. I have been notified that I am a victim of the XXXX  data breach, which has resulted in the theft of my identity. I am seeking guidance, please. I seek the enforcement of my consumer rights as specified in FCRA SECTION 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ). As an individual impacted by identity theft, I am entitled to request the removal of any fraudulent information from my credit reports, thank you. This regulation mandates that credit reporting agencies swiftly remove any data that stems from identity theft upon receiving the necessary notification. Kindly ensure deletion occurs within four business days.

I am filing this FTC Identity Theft Affidavit to report one fraudulent account appearing on my consumer FICO XXXX  credit report which I do not recognize as reported and which is the result of identity theft and fraud. This fraudulent account consists of a collection account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX  under the account number ( XXXX ). This account has resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from each of my consumer credit reports and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws.

It is the credit bureaus legal obligation under the FCRA to review and block fraudulent, inaccurate, or incomplete information from a consumers file within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving proper documentation. I am demanding the immediate removal of all fraudulent items, a stop to all related collection activity, and confirmation that this dispute has been escalated for manual investigation, not automated processing. Failure to act in accordance with federal law may result in further legal action to protect my consumer rights.
