Consumer complaint received 2025-03-14 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Experian for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Experian consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation.

This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Experian 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Experian complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer. I have disputed late payments on my credit report with XXXX and i have never been late. Experian has failed in correcting these errors causing me undue harm and with acting willfully or recklessly in failing to fix the inaccurate information. I have cited 15 U.S.C 1666b, 15 U.S.C.1666i, 15 U.S.C . 1681s-2 ( b ), 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( i ), 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( f ), 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o, 12 CFR 1026.13, 15 U.S.C. 1681i.

I have also requested all names, addresses, and phone numbers to be removed except for my current legal name which i have provided a copy of DL, my address which i have provided a current letter for and update to only XXXX phone number.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite having sent multiple letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by identitytheft.gov as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ).

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under identitytheft.gov clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through identitytheft.gov, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid.

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
XXXX XXXX. Experian Information Solutions XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On Saturday, XX/XX/year>, I woke up around XXXX XXXX and saw an email from my bank saying my card had been declined. Right away, I opened my Wells Fargo app to check what was going on, and I, was shocked to see four transactions I didnt recognize : 1. {$1000.00} withdrawal from an ATM 2. {$340.00} withdrawal from an ATM 3. {$200.00} withdrawal from an ATM 4. {$790.00} cash back from XXXX XXXX I called Wells Fargo immediately to report these unauthorized transactions and opened a claim. I gave the agent all the details of what happened. 

On Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX, I got a letter from Wells Fargo saying they closed my case because an error did not occur. I was really frustrated, so I called them again and spoke to a special agent named XXXX. He told me that Wells Fargo couldnt do anything because someone had my card and knew my PIN to access the ATM. I told him that I had my card with me all day on XX/XX/XXXX and didnt make any of those transactions. He basically said that unless I went to XXXX and found the person who did this, there was nothing they could do. 

The call lasted about 30 minutes, and at the end, he said he would transfer me to another department to talk about ATM limits. But then the call just ended the line got disconnected. 

Later that day, around XXXX XXXX, I went to the Wells Fargo branch on XXXX XXXX. I talked to a personal banker named XXXX. He listened to what happened and wrote up another claim. He said he would send it to the higher-ups for further investigation. XXXX also mentioned that a few other people had the same thing happen to them that week. 

He suggested I file a police report and freeze my account to stop any automatic withdrawals, just to be safe. 

Now Im waiting to hear back from Wells Fargo and see what happens next.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address a serious issue regarding the reporting of my credit information related to the student loan I cosigned for my daughterXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, and the loan was current and was supposed to be deferred. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, Nelnet reported the account to the credit bureaus as being 90 days past due, which caused my XXXX XXXX to drop by XXXX points. 

Since then, I have called Nelnet nearly every day requesting that this error be corrected. In order to prevent further damage to my credit, I paid the amount that was reported as owed. Nelnet has acknowledged that this was an error on their part and has filed a dispute on my behalf. While my account status has been updated to " current, '' the XXXX past due mark remains on my credit report, which is still negatively affecting my score. 

This issue has significantly impacted my life, as I recently XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in the process of purchasing a new home near the location of my XXXX. The continued 90-day past due mark on my credit is jeopardizing my ability to secure financing and, therefore, my livelihood. 

I have also disputed this error with all three credit bureaus, and they have approved the dispute. However, the only changes I've seen so far are that the loan has been deferred until XX/XX/XXXX and the account is now listed as current. The primary issue remains that the 90 days past due mark is still on my credit report and needs to be removed immediately. 

I kindly request that Nelnet take the necessary steps to remove this incorrect XXXX past due mark from my credit report as soon as possible. This issue is urgent, and I would appreciate your prompt attention to resolving it.
