State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
To ; The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau I am filing this complaint because the credit reporting agencies are reporting a XXXX  on my consumer report that is unverified, inaccurate, and can not be validated by any legally recognized data furnisher. 

I contacted the following primary sources who are the only legally permissible furnishers of bankruptcy information : XXXX XXXX The XXXX  Court All three confirmed in writing that they did NOT furnish, verify, or share XXXX  information regarding my file with any credit bureau. 

Therefore, the credit bureaus are reporting XXXX  information WITHOUT a legitimate source or the required certification of accuracy. 

LEGAL BASIS FOR REMOVAL FCRA 602 ( A ) Consumer reports must be accurate, fair, and verified.

FCRA 607 ( b ) The CRA must maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy.

Reporting information from a source that denies furnishing the data violates this requirement.

FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) When a consumer disputes any information, the CRA must conduct a reasonable investigation. 
If no furnisher exists, it CAN NOT be verified.

FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) Only a data furnisher with a reporting relationship may supply XXXXXXXX  data. 

Since XXXX, XXXX, and the XXXX  XXXX have certified IN WRITING that they did not provide any information, the credit bureau reporting is : Unverified Unsubstantiated Not from the required primary source A violation of the above-mentioned statutes CFPB REQUESTED RESOLUTION I request the immediate removal of the XXXX  from my credit report because : There is no furnisher There is no verification The reporting violates multiple federal consumer protection laws Please investigate and enforce removal of this unverifiable public record.

Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
LexisNexis is continuing to furnish inaccurate and unverifiable XXXX  information to XXXX  even though both XXXX  and XXXX  have already deleted the same bankruptcy from my credit reports. I have written proof from both bureaus confirming the XXXX XXXX XXXX was removed as inaccurate and unverifiable. 

I disputed the XXXX  directly and requested the Method of Verification from the original source under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ). LexisNexis and XXXX  refused to provide it. Instead, they relied on LexisNexis, a third-party reseller, which is not the original source. A third party can not be used to verify a public record that was already removed by two major credit reporting agencies.

LexisNexis is in violation of : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) failing to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i refusing proper reinvestigation and refusing the Method of Verification 15 U.S.C. 1681b no permissible purpose to furnish inaccurate data 15 U.S.C. 1681n & 1681o continuing to furnish inaccurate data after it was proven wrong The continued reporting of this inaccurate XXXX  is causing harm, stress, and denial of credit opportunities. The item has already been deleted by XXXX  and XXXX, proving LexisNexis is supplying bad data. 

I am requesting CFPB assistance to stop LexisNexis from furnishing false information and require deletion of the XXXX and all related data from their systems and from TransUnion

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Despite submitting a detailed dispute letter to the credit bureauincluding proof of identity theft, a list of unauthorized accounts, and personal identifiersthey have failed to take appropriate action within the timeframe required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 1681c-2 ( a ).

I am asking the CFPB to investigate this matter and compel the bureau to permanently remove the disputed items, provide written confirmation of the actions taken, and ensure full compliance with the FCRA and other applicable consumer protection statutes. This issue poses an ongoing threat to my financial security and demands urgent resolution.

I asked for a new card due to recurring charges I tried to stop. Company charging is overseas and wont stop. Capital One wanted me go through a fraud process when I just wanted a new card. I said to just close it. Capital One refused to close my credit card account unless I agreed to a recorded fraud interview and explained individual charges. I am not disputing any transactions and simply want the account closed. They repeatedly stated they would not close the account unless I complied with their script. This is unlawful under TILA and the CARD Act. I am requesting that the CFPB require Capital One to close the account without conditions.
