Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint due to ongoing issues with inaccurate and fraudulent information being reported on my credit reports, including hard inquiries, student loans, credit card accounts, and collection entries that I did not authorize or open. 

Between XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, multiple unauthorized hard inquiries appeared on my credit report, including from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX These were not initiated or approved by me. 

Additionally, two student loans from XXXX dated XXXX for {$3800.00} and the other for $ XXXX falsely reporting. I did not apply for or receive these loans, and they are the result of identity theft. 

There are also XXXX credit cards in collections that I never opened : XXXX from XXXX XXXX for {$940.00} ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ), and another from XXXX XXXX. Both were opened fraudulently. 

Lastly, two collection accounts are being reported that are inaccurate : one from XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX I did not open ), and another from XXXX XXXX XXXX, dated XX/XX/XXXX, for an apartment at XXXX at XXXX, totaling {$8400.00}. I never lived at this property. 

I submitted disputes to Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion with a police report, fraud affidavit, ID, and supporting documentation proving identity theft. Despite this, the credit bureaus failed to remove the fraudulent items. Their refusal to act is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other federal protections. 

I am requesting the CFPBs assistance to require full and immediate deletion of all the fraudulent items listed above and an investigation into the credit bureaus failure to comply with federal law.

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Company: Gurstel Law Firm, P.C.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
For months leading up to XX/XX/year>, numerous individualssome inappropriately dressed and behaving aggressivelyhave repeatedly approached a private residence, ringing the doorbell, opening storm doors, and attempting to deliver legal-looking documents without a filed case. On XX/XX/year>, documents marked as a Summons and Complaint from Gurstel Law Firm ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) were left under a doormat, unsealed and exposed, violating my right to privacy and confidentiality. These actions have been harassing, deceptive, and legally questionable. 

Despite no court case being filed with XXXX XXXX, the law firms documents included language implying active litigation and demanded a response within 21 days under threat of legal consequencewhile citing only an internal file number. This misleads consumers into believing a formal case exists and pressures them to waive rights out of fear. 

I have documented at least XXXX separate visits attempting to leave or serve documents. These tactics violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), including misrepresentation, harassment, and abuse of process. Gurstel appears to be functioning as a debt collector despite holding itself out as a law firm. 

XXXX XXXX Additional evidence including all XXXX camera footage and a log of XXXX separate delivery attempts is available upon request and can be submitted in digital form.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX pulled my credit. They are not the only ones to pull my credit and get the same credit response that report serious delinquencies. Issue I'm having is, i have no serious delinquencies. For XXXX in a row now, every month i have paid my creditors without fail. I have had three calls in which i asked for a supervisor and three times in a row they have conveniently dropped all my calls son after they look through my account and tell me that I'm right but when it comes to fixing the problem, the hang up on me and don't call me back. I am as cordial as I can be considering the circumstances. This is very frustrating. So the incorrect reports continue to damage my credit worthiness and I'm fed up. They have defamed me as unworthy of credit which is embarrassing as heck when I apply for credit, with more than satisfactory credit ( a few high balances on credit cards which is understandable ) but nothing seriously delinquent. They have not fixed it and I'm at wits end. I'm short of filing a lawsuit. Please help.
