Complaint narrative:
Contents of Complaint : This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the Equifax and Experian credit reporting agency , block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. This fraudulent, inaccurate, and false information consists of a personal credit card account. 

These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer XXXX credit report. I've attached a list of the hard inquiries in question as well as a copy of the consumer XXXX credit report maintained by you which shows the aforementioned fraudulent items. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, or hard inquiries as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud.

Company: COMMERCE BANK
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I submitted multiple fraud claims to Commerce Bank regarding unauthorized transactions on my debit card ending in XXXX, starting XX/XX/year>. Commerce Bank denied my claims without conducting a proper investigation. 
Despite submitting new information and repeatedly requesting an actual review, Commerce Bank has : Issued repeat form letters denying my claims without addressing new evidence ; Refused to provide investigation documents, merchant communications, or transaction logs ; Failed to comply with the investigation and recredit requirements under Regulation E and the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq. ) ; Violated 12 CFR 1005.11 by failing to perform a reasonable, good-faith investigation and recredit disputed funds when unable to conclusively prove authorization ; Ignored my requests for supporting evidence, instead sending blanket denials and copying past letters. 

Commerce Bank claims the card and chip were present and that PINs were used, but they fail to address serious concerns about cloning, merchant error, or compromise. They are improperly using these technical details to deny responsibility without proof that I authorized these transactions. 

Prior Resolution Attempts : I raised these concerns directly with the bank ( multiple written letters ) ; I submitted a prior CFPB complaint ( Reference # XXXX ) ; Commerce Bank XXXX XXXX repeated copy-paste denials without evidence ; I also attempted to speak with their fraud department but was unable to resolve the matter. 

Requested Relief : Full refund of all disputed transactions ; Provision of all supporting evidence regarding their investigation ; Compliance with Regulation E recredit timelines and standards ; Any applicable statutory damages under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act for their failure to perform a reasonable investigation ; Assurance that Commerce Bank implements appropriate corrective measures to ensure compliance with consumer protection laws.

I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Complaint narrative:
have a number of disputes with Equifax from 2022. Every time I would dispute an account it comes back VERIFIED. I know this credit bureau didn't properly investigate the accounts disputed which is why this would be my last time disputing the accounts in question that no other credit bureau is reporting on my credit report. This has been happening and its time for them to be exposed with their fake investigation and generic " VERIFIED " that is done by a computer and not with the merchants themselves. 

They have totally violated my rights as a consumer and the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX Consumer Social Security Number : ( Private SSN ) Consumer Date of Birth : ( Private DOB ) This formal complaint is filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to demand the immediate blocking of fraudulent information appearing on my consumer credit report. This action is requested pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), which mandates that you block information resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving this notification.

The following fraudulent, inaccurate, and false information, directly resulting from identity theft, is present on my credit report and must be blocked : A gym membership account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/scrub>/2023 under the account number ( private ). 

These fraudulently opened accounts have generated in unwarranted collection attempts being reported on my consumer FICO credit report. As evidence, I have attached a detailed list of these fraudulent collections, accounts and a copy of my consumer FICO credit report, as maintained by TransUnion, clearly displaying these fraudulent items.

I unequivocally state that I do not recognize any of the aforementioned accounts or associated collections. These entries on my credit report were neither initiated, authorized, nor made by me. All of these negative items are a direct consequence of identity theft and fraud, causing significant damage to my creditworthiness and financial well-being. 

Further irrefutable proof of this identity theft and fraud is provided in the attached copy of the official Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( private case number ). This report substantiates that the disputed items are indeed the result of criminal activity and not legitimate financial obligations incurred by me. 

Therefore, in accordance with my rights under the FCRA 605B, I demand the immediate blocking of all the identified fraudulent information from my credit report within the statutory timeframe of four ( 4 ) business days. Your prompt attention to this urgent matter is required to rectify the inaccuracies caused by this identity theft.
