Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion were notified of incorrect information reporting on my credit report and was asked to delete the information reporting incorrectly. They have yet to verify and respond in a timely manner per Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C.

1681c-1, which mandates the blocking and deletion of disputed information that can not be verified as accurate within four ( 4 ) business days.

Under the authority of 15 U.S.C. 1681c-1 ( a ), you are required to block this information from my file immediately, and if unverified, delete it within 4 business days of receipt of this letter. 
Failing to do so constitutes willful noncompliance, which subjects Experian to civil liability of up to {$1000.00} per violation under 15 U.S.C. 1681n.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease — Loan opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
This loan was taking out in my name without my permission and allowed someone to open and sign my name without my consent. I have filed a police report, filed with ftc, the XXXX  XXXX office and with the credit bureau. I have never provided any information to the dealership, never been to this dealership never signed any documents or made payments. Credit acceptance do not have my correct email nor address on file I have the calls recorded I have provided my signature in pen and pencil with a statement with my driver license on XXXX to the email address that was provided to me when i returned a call today to XXXX stated that was not her email however she reported that I did not send information and that I provided my check stubs, a bank that I do not recall as I bank with XXXX XXXX, and some additional information. sent her email address and provided an address that does not belong to me and I have never lived there. that call is also recorded. As I have stated no real investigation is being done. the car dealership is committing fraud and I have proof after my own investigation. That I have provided to the detective over my case. The fact that credit acceptance is reporting they have investigated and honestly telling me that it is not fraudulent when I have proof makes me feel they are in on the fraudulent activity with small dealers if this is not closed I will be filing a lawsuit against the car dealership and credit acceptance for fraud and reporting incorrect information to the credit bureau for late payments and loan. If a real investigation was done this would have been closed.

Complaint narrative:
i spoke to a guy on the phone who was supposed to be from XXXX XXXX XXXX- he told me my upcoming flights to Hawaii were only partially paid and unless i paid the other {$890.00} due i would be stuck at the airport in Hawaii on the way home. he told me he would email me something to this effect for me to sign and pay the balance due by credit card. after i paid and the call was ended i called back to speak to a supervisor as i was upset about the situation and realized they had not called me- it was a scam company pretending to be XXXX. i immediately called my credit card company to report the scam and cancel my card. they did so straight away and send me a new card within the week. however, even though they initially credited me for the scam they re now saying the case has been ruled against me as i don't have any paperwork to 'prove ' i was scammed! how can i prove this as it was a phone call? i feel this is wrong as i reported the scam to them within an hour of it happening. surely they could have blocked the payment to the scammer.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
I applied a Macy 's credit card in XX/XX/year>, however, the store staff did not record the correct address for me so I never received the credit card since then. 

I was outside the XXXX from XXXX to XX/XX/year>. When I was back, I was noticed by the CITI Bank that I have an overdue late payment on my credit card. I paid the amount that I used and called the credit card center to explain my situation. They successfully remove my late payment penalty and promised me to also remove my late payment history to the XXXX XXXX bureau like XXXX. They asked me to allow 90 days for that to be removed. 

I checked again with the credit card center in XX/XX/year>, however, they said that there was still a penalty not removed, and they helped me to removed that and promised me again they will remove the late payment history for me. 

I allowed 3 months again and contacted XXXX. However, the XXXX  told me that they still can that late payment history and CITI Bank did not help with that. I asked them to start an investigation however, the results remains the same. 

P.S. I never had any information about my bank account or credit card since I never rceived them. They closed my account and credit card without sending me the physical card and without notifying me.
