Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and and inaccurate information.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Complaint XXXX details the issue I had with Bank of America deducting from my bank account twice, due to a computer glitch on their end. They credited my account, with the full understanding that my intention was to pay the balance in full. The representative I had spoken with initially told me that my minimum payment would still come out automatically, so she suggested I cancel my payment and them submit payment less the min amount due. 
My payment was due on XX/XX/XXXX. I submitted my payment on XX/XX/XXXX and it went through on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I just received notification that I have a payment of {$14.00} due by XX/XX/XXXX. There should be no interest due since I paid the balance in full by the due date. If anything, they should have offered me a courtesy credit for the time and energy I wasted and the money from my personal account that they tied up in error. 

I will attach a copy of the XXXX and XXXX statements. I ask that Bank of America clear this matter up as soon as possible.

Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to provide a formal rebuttal to LexisNexis Risk Solutions response dated XX/XX/year>, regarding the above-referenced complaint. Their response continues to demonstrate noncompliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and a pattern of behavior that is both negligent and deceptive. 

Failure to Conduct a Proper Reinvestigation LexisNexis claims they obtained the bankruptcy information from the Public Access to Court Electronic Records ( PACER ). However, PACER is not a legally sufficient source for verification under the FCRA. 

PACER is a public document retrieval system, not a court-certified verification tool. 
LexisNexis did not provide court-certified documentation, case docket details, or any verifiable evidence tying the record to me. 
They failed to verify the source, origin, or legal authorization for associating this bankruptcy with my name and Social Security number. 
This violates FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ), which requires data furnishers to conduct an independent and reasonable reinvestigation when notified of a dispute.

Improper Reliance on Credit Bureaus LexisNexis explicitly states they forwarded my dispute to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX rather than conducting an independent review. This is a direct violation of their obligations as a furnisher of information to those agencies. 

LexisNexis submitted the dispute to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX By doing so, they improperly defer the responsibility for verifying the information to the credit bureaus, which is unlawful under FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ).

Failure to Provide Method of Verification LexisNexis did not include : A copy of the bankruptcy docket My alleged signature on the filing The date the bankruptcy was allegedly filed Any official court communication certifying the record Or evidence that it matches my identity beyond third-party database logic Misattributed Address and Identity LexisNexis referenced an address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX FL XXXX XXXX is not my verified residence and has already been disputed. Continuing to associate this address with my identity without certified evidence is negligent and violates FCRA 1681e ( b ) ( failure to ensure maximum possible accuracy ).

Consumer Harm Because of LexisNexis continued failure to remove this inaccurate bankruptcy : I have experienced credit denials, increased interest rates, and emotional and reputational harm. 
I have invested significant time and resources into correcting their repeated violations. 
Their unwillingness to take accountability and repeated deflection to credit bureaus creates an unlawful cycle of inaccurate reporting and consumer abuse.

Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.
