Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Equifax Information Services LLC regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ). Despite clear legal notice, Equifax Information Services LLC 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: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding my American Express XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account, which I recently closed after fully paying the outstanding balance. 

Upon applying for this card online, I was clearly offered and accepted a promotional 0 % APR valid through the end of the calendar year. At no point prior to or after account approval was I notified that this promotional offer had been declined or withdrawn. Nevertheless, American Express proceeded to apply interest and charges totaling {$1800.00} to my account, in direct contradiction to the terms under which I accepted the offer. 

I raised this issue with American Express customer service department, but my complaint was dismissed without adequate investigation or explanation. I find this not only disappointing but also inconsistent with the principles of transparency and fair dealing expected of a financial institution of their standing.I have since paid the entire outstanding balance, including the disputed charges, and closed the account to avoid further complications. However, I request the following : A full refund or credit of the {$1800.00} in fees and charges applied in error.

A formal explanation regarding the denial of the 0 % APR offer, including why I was never notified.

A confirmation that my credit report will not reflect any negative marks related to this dispute.

I promptly informed Chase Bank via telephone call at approximately XXXX XXXX  that a scam occurred and to stop the transaction, which was then " pending '' and still is " pending '' at the time of this complaint. However, Chase refused stop the transaction and told me to contact XXXX. I contacted XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX  right after Chase. XXXX refused to stop the transaction or refund. 

I drove to the nearby XXXX XXXX XXXX file a report ( XXXX  # XXXX. ) of what happened. At first they thought it was an XXXX, but upon closer inspection, they saw that it was actually an XXXX. The police as the evidence, and it is currently in their possession. 

I then drove to my office to talk with security for footage of incident. They found the transaction taking place and but could not get a video of the seller 's car. They said the seller was a profressional, hiding from cameras, and stayed away from any camera 's in the garage. 

Now I am at a loss of {$500.00} and no phone, not even a fake phone. Chase and XXXX refused to assist.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I made a transaction for a digital purchase with my XXXX  XXXX Credit Card through Bank of America. There were errors when redeeming the digital purchase so that only parts of the purchase loaded. Moreover, the digital service has reward benefits related to purchases that were also not provided as part of the transaction. 

I continued to provide additional information on the following data request dates : XX/XX/XXXX Request for additional information - Completed We would like additional information from you as soon as possible. View details for more information. 

XX/XX/XXXX Claim is being reviewed by merchant 's bank XX/XX/XXXX Request for additional information - Completed XX/XX/XXXX Please provide additional information as soon as possible - Completed On XX/XX/XXXX BOA denied the dispute and closed the claim. 

They provided no option to appeal the decision. In the documentation they provided related to the denial of the claim they showed refund is allowed based on the circumstances that occurred. I should be allowed a refund under these terms even though these terms and all other purchase terms were never made available at the time of transaction. The payment clearing house inappropriately opted me in for these terms without my consent.

1 ) Item is not received - Refund is allowed. I provided documentation showing that I did not receive all the items related to my account and the benefits promised to my account.

2 ) Problem with the Product - refund is allowed. In the case of technical problems that have arisen after a cooling-off period, or in the case that you have received an incorrect or faulty Product, you may get a refund in accordance with the legislation of your country.

Next upon simply logging into the software an automatic process occurs where everything is automatically loaded. The problem is the automatically loaded items can not be validated until after they have been incorporated making it impossible to reject any items if they are incorrect.

Lastly, the description of the purchase i.e. the receipt does not match what was advertised for the original purchase. I have requested the privacy data which shows my dispute directly with the clearing house. They denied my refund which is allowed based on the terms of purchase.

In the claim denial, BOA in no way shape or form addressed the letter that was sent to them as part of the claim. They did not acknowledge any key piece of information I provided them. Since then I have finally received my privacy data request which now includes key pieces of information I can not provide.

Complaint narrative:
Citizens Bank locked me out of my online account without a clear explanation. I attempted to resolve this by contacting their fraud department multiple times, but no one answered after waiting over an hour on each call. The line was eventually disconnected or hung up. 

In addition, Citizens Bank does not offer an online platform to initiate domestic wire transfers, unlike other major XXXX XXXX. This lack of functionality is not customer-friendly and forces me to visit a branch in person, which is highly inconvenient.

Complaint narrative:
Despite repeated attempts to resolve these matters, Transunion 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.
