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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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 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.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint because there is inaccurate and/or unverifiable information being reported on my credit report by a consumer reporting agency. I recently obtained a copy of my credit report and found XXXX or more accounts that either do not belong to me, are reported inaccurately, or have already been paid in full. 

I submitted a written dispute directly to the credit reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically citing violations of 1681e ( b ) for failing to ensure maximum accuracy, and 1681i for not conducting a reasonable reinvestigation within the XXXX timeframe. 

Despite my demand, the inaccurate information remains on my report, and I have not received sufficient verification or documentation ( such as a signed contract or complete payment history ) to justify the continued reporting of the disputed account. I believe this reflects willful non-compliance with the FCRA and is causing me harm.

Issue: Repossession — Voluntary repossession
Company: FORD MOTOR CREDIT CO.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
To the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am submitting this complaint regarding Ford Motor Credit and the credit reporting agencies for continuing to report an account that is past the legal reporting limit established under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ).

The account in question is : Creditor : Ford Motor Credit Account Number ( last 4 digits ) : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Date of First Delinquency : XX/XX/XXXX ( 60 days past due by XX/XX/XXXX ) Charge-off Status Reported : Originally in XX/XX/XXXX, updated to XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$8900.00} Original Balance : {$23000.00} Scheduled to be on Record Until : XX/XX/XXXX Legal Basis for Dispute : According to the FCRA 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ), adverse information ( including charge-offs and late payments ) may not be reported more than 7 years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off. In this case, the credit report shows a 30-day delinquency in XX/XX/XXXX and 60-day delinquency in XX/XX/XXXX, marking the date of first delinquency as no later than XXXX XXXX. 

This means the 7-year reporting window ends in XXXX XXXX. However, instead of aging off the report, the account was illegally re-aged to reflect a new charge-off date in XX/XX/XXXX, essentially manipulating the reporting date to extend how long the derogatory mark remains on my report. 

Violation Summary : Re-aging a charged-off account to a newer date ( XX/XX/XXXX instead of XX/XX/XXXX ) without a new delinquency or account activity is a direct violation of FCRA 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ). 

The charge-off and late payments stem from a delinquency that began over 6.5 years ago, and the reporting should be set to expire no later than early XXXX, not be extended by another 7 years from the new " status updated '' date. 

This deceptive reporting practice negatively impacts my creditworthiness, financial opportunities, and FICO scores. 

Resolution Sought : Immediate removal of the XXXX XXXX XXXX account from all consumer credit reports ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Investigation and enforcement action against XXXX XXXX XXXX and the credit reporting agencies for re-aging the account in violation of the FCRA. 

Confirmation that the corrected information will no longer affect my credit report after the legal 7-year reporting limit expires. 

Please find attached both the Before and After copies of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX showing the date manipulation and continued reporting practices beyond the allowable time frame. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I respectfully request your assistance in resolving this illegal reporting that is damaging my credit and in violation of federal law.

Complaint narrative:
Despite repeated attempts to resolve these matters, XXXX  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: MOHELA
State: ME

Complaint narrative:
When I started going to college I took loans out through both XXXX XXXX and XXXX. I just recently checked my credit score and saw that it had dropped to XXXX. I looked further and saw that I have several loans in default from a company called Mohela that I have never signed loans for. It is messing with my credit and tanking my score. All my other loans have been paid for on time, however every loan from that corporation says they are overdue. I do not have any ties with Mohela and would like for my score to be fixed and this loan information to be taken care of. I think I am a part of the scam that occurred with other students regarding their loans. This also dates back to the start of 2022.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Ive recently discovered several late payment notations on my credit report that are completely false, and I want to make it clear that I will not tolerate these inaccuracies being used to misjudge my financial character. These harmful entries are dragging down my credit score, affecting my access to opportunities, and putting unnecessary strain on my mental and emotional health. Some of these alleged late payments were in fact made on time, while others may stem from clerical mistakes or internal processing delays that were never communicated to me. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that every piece of data on a consumer report be factually accurate and verifiable by original documentation. That means if these late payment entries can not be backed up with real, dated billing statements or signed agreements, they should not be reported at all. I am demanding that these entries be immediately corrected or removed, depending on what the documentation proves. If the credit reporting agencies or furnishers continue to ignore this matter, I will interpret that as a willful and deliberate violation of federal lawand respond accordingly. I deserve better, and I will fight until this is made right.
