Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Experian Information Solutions Inc. regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ). Despite clear legal notice, Experian Information Solutions Inc. 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.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Spring Oaks Capital, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a debt that Spring Oaks Capital , LLC claims to own, originally from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX/ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( account ending in XXXX ). 

I previously filed a complaint regarding this account, and Spring Oaks responded to the CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX. Their response acknowledged purchasing this account on XX/XX/XXXX, but they only provided billing statements and a generic assignment document. These materials do not constitute full validation or proof of ownership. 

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), a debt collector must provide complete validation upon request, including the original signed agreement and a documented chain of title showing the specific transfer of my account. Spring Oaks failed to do so. The documents they submitted are generic and do not identify my name, account number, or balance within any verifiable purchase record. 

I am providing the same 40-page document ( XXXX  ) that Spring Oaks submitted in their CFPB response, which contains only billing statements and a broad portfolio assignment. This does not satisfy lawful validation requirements and therefore does not establish that Spring Oaks Capital , LLC has a legal right to collect or furnish this debt to any credit reporting agency. 

Their reporting or collection activity without full validation violates my consumer rights under both the FDCPA and FCRA. I am requesting CFPBs assistance to ensure this company complies with federal law and ceases any improper collection or reporting activity.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 
Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  card graded XXXX XXXX. The seller was very cooperative until he received payment then the lies started. That same day I messaged him for tracking because he promised he would provide it but didnt. I asked for a refund in which he said yes but then blocked me on messenger. I contacted PayPal asap to hold the funds til seller responded or provided tracking. PayPal told me that they would do that and seller had 10 days to reply to them in which he didnt then I would get my money back, but they kept denying my dispute and told me to do a chargeback to my credit card company. After multiple phone calls with PayPal two of the calls said they would reverse the case to my favor and give back my money but then I would receive a email asking for more info. I provided them more info and was denied again. Another seller got scammed for the same card and reached out to me. He filed the same dispute and he got a refund so I basically copied his statement except made the necessary changes due to my info and again was denied. They would never tell me why exactly but I believe they released the money to the seller and they didnt want to eat it. I then filed a police report on the seller and contacted my credit card company to investigate my case. To this day I never received the card and is still waiting for my credit card company to finalize there decision.

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

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because I disputed inaccurate or incomplete information on my consumer report with a consumer reporting agency. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Fair Credit Reporting Act 611 ), the agency is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation, free of charge, within 30 days of receiving my dispute, to determine whether the information is inaccurate. The agency must notify the data furnisher, review and verify the accuracy of the information, and delete or correct it if it can not be verified. The agency must also provide me with written results of the reinvestigation, including a copy of my corrected consumer report, and notify me of my right to add a statement of dispute. 

In my case, the agency did not comply with these requirements. It failed to complete a reasonable reinvestigation and/or did not correct or delete unverifiable information within 30 days. I am requesting that the CFPB review this matter and ensure the consumer reporting agency fulfills its obligations under 15 U.S.C. 1681i.
