Complaint narrative:
I have had an XXXX score for years and have not missed any payments that I owed. In XXXX I used my Capital One card and immediately paid it in full. Apparently there was a {$2.00} residual interest fee that I was never notified about. I did not receive any emails, texts, phone calls. They said I went paperless so I wasn't notified of this {$2.00} balance. Consequently it went unpaid.

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as a formal follow-up to my previous correspondence regarding your agency 's ongoing refusal to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically in connection with my properly filed identity theft report submitted through XXXX. 

To date, your agency has not provided any satisfactory justification for rejecting this report, nor have you taken the necessary steps to investigate or remove the clearly fraudulent accounts listed below from my credit file. As reiterated in my prior letter, federal lawincluding FCRA Section 605B and Section 617requires you to accept valid identity theft reports from consumers, including those submitted through the Federal Trade Commissions IdentityTheft.gov platform. Nowhere does the law require that such reports originate solely from a law enforcement agency. 

Your continued rejection of my legally sufficient identity theft affidavit is not only unsupported by federal law but also constitutes willful noncompliance with the FCRA. This failure to act in accordance with clearly established legal procedures and CFPB guidance reflects blatant disregard for my rights as a consumer and victim of identity theft. Let me be clear : This is your final notice. You are in violation of federal law by continuing to report and verify accounts that were opened fraudulently and which I have already disputed with appropriate documentation. 

If I do not receive confirmation within XXXX calendar days that these accounts have been permanently removed and that my credit file has been updated to reflect the resolution of this matter, I will proceed to : 1.File formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my State Attorney General.

2.Initiate legal action for your violations of FCRA Section 617 and for any damages sustained as a result of your unlawful reporting and failure to investigate.

Complaint narrative:
I disputed an inaccurate account on my Experian credit report, which is being furnished by XXXX. XXXX no longer owns this account it was sold to XXXX and they are not the rightful owner of the debt. However, Experian verified the account without conducting a reasonable investigation. 

This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 611 ). The account continues to report a balance that is not owed to XXXX, which is harming my ability to purchase a home. I am requesting Experian remove this tradeline immediately, as the original creditor no longer owns the debt and is reporting false information.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Dept of Education due to severe and unjustified negative credit reporting that has significantly impacted my financial standing. My credit report was recently updated to reflect late payment entries from XXXX, which has caused my credit score to drop by over XXXX points. This action was taken without any prior notice, warning, or correspondenceI did not receive any emails, letters, or alerts informing me of this drastic change before it was reported to the credit bureaus. Additionally, I have become aware of an ongoing data breach involving student loan accounts, which raises serious concerns regarding unauthorized access to my personal and financial information raising concerns over a XXXX violation. Given this security lapse, I have reason to believe that my account records may have been compromised or altered without my consent. I am in the process of purchasing a home and this has caused my loan to be halted until this is remedied. This has caused extreme financial distress and this error in reporting needs to be remedied immediately. I did not authorize any changes to my account status, and I no longer feel comfortable having my student loans serviced and reported to the credit bureaus under these conditions. Violations and Consumer Protection Rights XXXX. Failure to Provide Notice of Negative Credit Reporting - Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), loan servicers are required to provide accurate and fair reporting. I was not notified in advance that these accounts would be marked late, which denied me the opportunity to address any potential issues before they were reported. XXXX. Possible Unauthorized Reporting and Account Compromise Due to Data Breach - The reported data breach involving XXXX raises serious questions about the integrity of my loan accounts. If my data was exposed or manipulated, XXXX may have incorrectly or fraudulently reported late payments that I did not actually incur. XXXX. Failure to Properly Investigate and Verify Account Status - Given the security risks and errors in reporting, I request full verification and documentation proving the legitimacy of the late payments, including a detailed account history showing how and when they were marked late.
