Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their continuous failure to address my dispute letters concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record.

It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Company: Experian Information Solutions 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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau I am writing to formally file a complaint against Blockchain.com regarding the verification process and restricted access to my funds. I have encountered significant issues with their platform, and despite numerous attempts to resolve this matter, I have not been able to regain access to my crypto assets. 

Summary of the Issue : Account Verification : I transferred my crypto assets to Blockchain.com and was requested to verify my account by submitting sensitive information, including my Social Security number, photo ID, and a selfie. 
It has been over a month since I submitted all requested information, but my account has still not been verified. 

Restricted Access : As a result of the pending verification, Blockchain.com has restricted my access to the crypto funds I transferred to their platform. I am unable to withdraw or move my funds to another platform. 

Lack of Support : I have contacted Blockchain.coms customer support multiple times via email, but I have only received automated responses that have not addressed or resolved my issue. 
My attempts to get my funds back to my previous platform, Robinhood.com, have been unsuccessful due to these restrictions and lack of meaningful assistance from Blockchain.com.
