Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within XXXX  days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over XXXX  days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, Experian, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I never intended to open a Comenity Bank credit card. While purchasing soccer goals at XXXX XXXX, the cashier strongly encouraged me to apply for the store card. Out of politeness, I agreed. 

Unfortunately, the card was never delivered to me because the cashier entered the wrong address at the time of application. I later noticed this error and asked Comenity Bank to update my address during a phone call, but I never received any written mail or card from them. I was unable to access my account online, check my balance, or receive paper statements. 

I tried to pay my balance by visiting the store, but the staff couldnt help since I didnt have a physical card or account number. I then called Comenity Bank multiple times and paid what I was told was the full balance. I also requested that the card be closed and was told it was. 

Months later, I was shocked to discover on XXXX XXXX that a new balance of {$210.00} had been reported, along with missed payments all after I believed the account was closed and paid in full. 

I called again, and a phone representative told me they couldnt verify the balance because the account was already closed. I also asked for a XXXX Balance Letter multiple times and was promised it would be sent but I never received anything. 

I do not even know my account number, despite asking for it repeatedly during phone calls. This entire situation has been stressful, and it is hurting my credit score unfairly. 

I am requesting : - A written XXXX Balance Letter confirming I no longer owe anything - Removal of any late payments and negative marks from my credit reports- A full explanation and investigation into how this was handled I have now paid twice for the same balance just to stop further damage to my credit, and I believe this issue stems from errors and miscommunication that were never resolved properly by Comenity Bank.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
I have used my Marcus XXXX for several years and have recently been unable to make transfers into or out of the account. I called on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with a customer service agent who stated that sometime in XX/XX/XXXX Marcus conducted an account review and placed account restrictions/froze accounts which were missing employment data, and that my account was frozen because the joint owner on my account was missing employment data. The joint owner is my ex boyfriend, who I am not in contact with, do not know how to contact, and frankly would not even know he is on this account. I opened the account years ago when we were together, and until this phone call I didnt know this account had a joint owner as none of the tax documents or app detail showed this. If I knew he was a joint owner I would have closed this account long ago, before this account review I made the agent aware, and since I am a verified owner of the account I requested to close the account and open a new account. The agent said she was unable to close the account because of the restriction but another department may be able to help during business hours and advised I call back then, and said shed notate the account for the next agent. 
I called Marcus the next day ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and reiterated the situation with the new agent : I can not transact on my account, my joint owner is unreachable and I just wish to be able to access my funds again either by opening a new account or just withdrawing my funds. She placed me on a brief hold and when she returned told me that the best she could do was request a customer callback in 1-3 days for me, but that there was no guarantee I will be able to access my funds again. She advised that I contact the joint owner, which I again stated was not a possibility as I do not have any contact information. 
I dont understand how a joint owner ( me ) can not close this deposit account as a result of an arbitrary account review nor why Marcus is unable to override their own system restriction. I am very anxious I will indefinitely not be able to access my funds again.

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.
