Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Experian Information Solutions XXXX regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ). Despite clear legal notice, Experian Information Solutions Inc. continues to willfully report inaccurate data in violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), 1681i, and FDCPA 1692e and 1692f. I have exhausted all attempts to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau. I now request the CFPB to investigate and enforce compliance.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
The consumer reporting agency has willfully violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports, by furnishing or reporting information on my credit file without any permissible purpose, written consent, or legal authorization. At no time did I grant authorization for this agency to obtain, use, or disclose my consumer information, and the continued reporting of such entries constitutes an unlawful act that compromises both the accuracy and integrity of my credit file. This misreporting has directly harmed my creditworthiness, caused emotional and financial distress, and placed undue barriers on my ability to secure credit, housing, and employment opportunities.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Despite repeated attempts to resolve these matters, Equifax continues to allow damaging inaccuracies to persist on my credit profile. These unresolved errors are more than just frustratingthey are unjust, and they are actively interfering with my ability to move forward financially. Every time I apply for a loan, a credit card, or any financial opportunity, these incorrect entries stand as barriers that I shouldnt have to face. It is unacceptable that after multiple disputes, you still havent taken the appropriate steps to ensure your data is correct. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you are legally required to verify every single reported item with original, legitimate documentation. If you can not confirm the accuracy of these records with credible, dated evidence, then these entries have no place on my report and must be removed immediately. I am demanding that you conduct a thorough reinvestigationnot a generic response, not a rubber-stamped review, but a meaningful audit backed by proper documentation. Continued delays and inaction will be treated as a deliberate and unlawful disregard of your obligations under federal law. Ive been more than patient, but my patience has run out.

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>. I sent {$850.00} as my rental to a roommate I stay with on cashapp. After sending the screenshot of the transaction he said he has no access to his account XXXX tried reversing but was too late.

I filed a complaint on my cashapp and was denied a refund. I appealed and was still denied. I am a regular client for cashapp and there are financial traffic on my app. Im sure they look and they see that the money I sent is still in the account because the guy has no access to his account. All that can be seen. For me a, regular client to be told I cant get a refund and not be told any action I can take to get my money back I feel robbed, not by the person, but by cashapp not by the person I sent money to because clearly in your system you know he has no access to his account and can see when last he used it.

I would appreciate being asked to go somewhere and talk to someone and show them somethings and or even be asked about the account I sent to and still get my money. I need my money. I had to borrow money to pay my rentals hoping to get this money back in XXXX or so days.

Im not a fly by night client who wants to steal money and yet I am the one who sent it .. Im not conning anyone. Why is that difficult to reverse? I would appreciate being told to go somewhere and talk to someone than being told that my {$850.00} is taken by the bank that can clearly see I sent to an account they know is now inaccessible but I know you can access it.. 

I have since borrowed other money to repay the rental on XXXX this time and I have uploaded the proof of the follow up transaction also. 

I will lose confidence in you and have already begun.. I need my money back and not sure I will continue with cashapp sadly after this. Please tell me something tangible not just that I cant get my money back. Tell me even to go to the police or court.. I can understand that. Not to be just told I cant get my money from such an institution which I enrolled in because of prospects of professionalism and legitimacy. XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have never legally gone by these personal information nor do not currently reside at the listed residence. The inclusion of inaccurate aliases and unrelated or outdated addresses not only violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) which requires credit reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy but also creates a serious risk of identity confusion and impairs my ability to obtain credit under accurate and fair conditions. The presence of such erroneous personal information also raises concerns of data mishandling, especially in light of recent national data breaches. Despite previous attempts to have this information corrected, XXXX might have failed to remove the incorrect aliases and address entries, even though I have never used these names and do not reside at the listed locations.

XX/XX/year>. XXXX XXXX. From phone number XXXX The guy who called had a middle eastern accent. He claims he was from Experian and that a credit card was applied for under my SSN in XXXX TX. He claims his name was XXXX XXXX ID number XXXX. Call back number XXXX. He knew all of our personal information, including credit card numbers for my XXXX and the total we owe, and my husbands credit card and total. It then evolved into more of a sales pitch for a XXXX XXXX financing credit card. They explained the Fair Credit Reporting Act and that seniors are only have to pay XXXX XXXX interest on credit cards. Again he knew all our card numbers and expiration dates. When he asked for the XXXX digit code from my husbands card, I told him I was not giving it to him. He then transferred me to the Lower Interest Rate Dept .. And another middle eastern guy named XXXX XXXX continued on with the sales pitch. We were on the phone for about an hour. i hung up. It is getting to where you can not ever answer your phone that you are speaking to a middle eastern scammer. Scam victims need to have more rights, and it should be easier to report/ stop these calls.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
In May, I receiver a letter from wells Fargo informing me they were closing my business account and would not explain why. They said it would take place in XXXX month. 

2 days before the closure date, I went into Wells Fargo to close the account and pull out any funds. They informed me my account was not marked for closure and all is well. 

2 days later my account closed and they seized {$9000.00} dollars and told me it would come via check. 

3 months later my check had not arrived. I went into the local branch and requested it be resent. They printed it there. They refuse to print a cashiers check on my personal name so that it can be cashed. They refuse to cash the check even though they can verify I was the owner of the account. I cant get another business account elsewhere because the business name is now flagged due to the closure. 

They are also harassing me saying I owe them {$1600.00} and change from my merchant services account fees they closed without notice. I will be suing Wells Fargo.
