Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address an ongoing issue with the reporting of an account that I believe is inaccurately reflected on my credit report. After reviewing my recent credit report from your bureau, I have found that the account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to report incorrect information, despite my prior attempts to rectify the situation. 

As outlined under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681, 1681s-2, and 1681c, I am requesting that you immediately take action to ensure the information regarding this account is fully corrected and that the updated and accurate details are reflected in my credit file.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681, credit reporting agencies are required to maintain accurate and complete information. Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 places responsibility on furnishers of information ( including creditors and financial institutions ) to report accurate data to the credit bureaus. Lastly, 15 U.S.C. 1681c sets clear guidelines regarding how long negative information, such as charge-offs, should remain on a credit report, and mandates that any outdated or erroneous data be promptly removed. 

If the inaccurate information continues to be reported, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action against your organization for violating the FCRA, as it is essential that all information reported on my credit report be accurate and in compliance with federal law.

Complaint narrative:
Representative, I am writing to formally dispute certain inquiries listed on my credit report, which I believe to be fraudulent. Upon reviewing my report, I identified unauthorized credit inquiries that I did not initiate, authorize, or consent to. These inquiries are adversely affecting my credit score and do not reflect any legitimate application for credit or services made by me. 
The specific inquiries in question are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX As these inquiries were made without my permission, they are a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Since these inquiries do not meet that criterion, I request their immediate removal from my credit report.

Issue: Closing an account — Can't close your account
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
Bank Of America allows user to create a bank account on their app. The process is easy and near predatory with it being advertised on the apps home page right next to your current account. The predatory part begins when they don't allow users to then cancel an account on the app as well. Claims of security compliance will be tossed around but if the user can safely create an account on the app then the company should be required to create a safe way to cancel the account on the app. I've tried to cancel an account multiple times now and if you don't have multiple hours to wait on hold or go into a location and wait in person you have no way to cancel your account. This wouldn't be a problem if they weren't allowing people to create an account with a disproportionate ease compared to the difficulty of canceling an account. It's a criminal act and they should be penalized and be forced to change this practice.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
All of my personal identifying information was involved in a large scale data breach resulting here in XXXXXXXX XXXX which made national headlines. I was told that due to this data breech the disputed information would be removed immediately within 4 days under section 605B? Not the 30 days it usually takes. Here I am months and months later and now have lost a home from these reports and is still not removed. Not only that but I am unable to even update my personal information to the new safe email and phone number that is listed here. I am concerned that there will be future problems if the bureau continues to use my old information KNOWING that this breech occured to which I was a victim. I continue to follow dispute after dispute with no luck and I need someone to help me please before I end up homeless on the street from someone else 's lack of ethic and character and morals from stealing the information that is supposed to be used to identify me as a person! I thought I was supposed to dispute the validity of the debt as my own not realizing that since it was a data breach that the criminals used my information improperly to make it appear as if it was my own information and valid. So that part was my mistake, but still upon calling and getting the runaround from XXXX  many many times and only being able to speak to automated systems through most of it and finally reaching a person explaining the situation and then being sent back to automated systems I don't know what else to do. I even purchased an XXXX  membership thinking that would help.The only information negative on my report is my XXXX  loans. Every other collection and negative account are not mine. The personal identifying information of the emails and the phone numbers are no longer mine, but I am forced to use those to log in and then answer my security question since I can't get a text to the phone number or an email even to what they have on file. So I don't know maybe I have to follow a claim with you guys for XXXX AND these collection accounts separately?? But due to this data breach I was repeatedly told that I just had to let them know it would be removed within 4 days and I just want them gone off my reports. Thank you

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

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 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XX/XX/year> To : Credit Reporting Agency Subject : Request for Removal of Unverifiable Account Dear Credit Reporting Department, I am writing to formally request the removal of an account from my credit report as reported by [ Equifax, XXXX, or XXXX ]. This request is based on the recent deletion of an account by XXXX, one of the four major credit reporting agencies. I recently disputed a charge-off for {$21000.00} from Addition Financial Consumer listed on my XXXX report, and following a thorough investigation, XXXX has completely removed this unverifiable debt from my report as of XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), all consumer reporting agencies must ensure that information in consumer reports is accurate, fair, and verifiable. Since XXXX has removed this account after its verification process, I request that you do the same and remove this unverifiable account from my credit report. 
Supporting Consumer Laws : FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) requires that inaccurate or unverifiable information must be deleted from a consumer 's credit file. I am exercising my right to ensure that my credit report remains fair, accurate, and free of unverifiable information. Since XXXX has deemed this account unverifiable and removed it, you must take similar action. 
Additionally, under FCRA Section 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), information suppliers must report only complete and accurate information. With XXXX having deemed this information unverifiable, I urge you to align its records accordingly. 
Please provide confirmation of this removal within 30 days of receipt of this request. If the account is not removed, I am prepared to pursue further actions, including filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and seeking legal action under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including Section 616 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n ), which allows consumers to seek legal recourse for willful noncompliance, and Section 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681o ) for negligent non-compliance. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, as it directly impacts my credit report 's integrity. Please notify me in writing once this deletion has been processed. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this request. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
