Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this updated complaint against Cash App for its continued failure to investigate and reimburse XXXX unauthorized transactions totaling [ $ amount ]. I have submitted extensive documentation, including XXXX screenshots of the disputed transactions, a notarized affidavit, and a formal demand letter. Despite this, Cash App has refused to comply with its legal obligations under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ). 

After filing my initial complaint with the CFPB, Cash App responded with a dismissive message stating they were unable to identify the transaction or dispute, despite having all relevant details. I was told no further information was available and was directed to generic support channels. This response was obstructive and failed to meet the standards of a good-faith investigation. 

Shortly thereafter, I received two emails from Cash App : one demanding identity verification, and anotherjust minutes laterstating that my account had been closed. This sequence strongly suggests retaliation and procedural misconduct.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

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.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Transunion had a security breach and leak of my information which is now on the dark web. This has lead to fraud, duplicate accounts, incorrect balances on my accounts, acounts that are not mine and hard inquiries that I never authorized. I've tried multiple times to contact them and submit my disputes and their website doesn't work. I've called them and remain on hold for over an hour each time. This is not appropriate or fair to do to me. After my information was leaked I learned via the web that they are offering two years of credit monitoring services for free.

They are the ones who allowed this to happen yet they did not correct my report, notify me of the security breach, I found out through a security scan of my personal information, nor can I reach out to them to have this corrected. 

I need help now as this has affected every aspect of my life. Please help me.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
Formal Complaint Against LoanCare XXXX  XXXX Inaccurate Credit Reporting and Failure to Properly Investigate Dispute I am filing this complaint against LoanCare XXXX  XXXX regarding their continued reporting of inaccurate late payments on my mortgage account # [ Your Loan Number ]. Despite multiple disputes, LoanCare has failed to comply with their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ( 12 U.S.C. 2605 ).

Summary of the Issue : LoanCare is reporting late payments on my mortgage that are inaccurate and misleading.

I submitted a formal dispute requesting validation and correction. 
LoanCare responded by simply restating the reporting as verified, without providing any documentation or conducting a reasonable investigation as required by law. 
This constitutes a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ), which requires furnishers to conduct a reasonable investigation and correct or delete unverifiable or inaccurate information. 

I was informed that loan servicers participating in the Virginia Mortgage Relief Program were not permitted to report mortgage payments as late during the period of assistance. Despite this, my credit report reflects negative late payment entries that should not have been reported. These inaccurate and damaging notations are not only contrary to the guidelines of the relief program but also unfairly impact my credit standing. I respectfully request that these late payment reports be corrected and removed to accurately reflect my compliance under the Virginia Mortgage Relief Program.

Impact on Me : This unlawful reporting has caused significant damage to my credit score, financial reputation, and access to credit opportunities.

LoanCares Failures : 1. Failure to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed credit information. 
2. Failure to provide documentation verifying the accuracy of the alleged late payments.

3. Continuing to report disputed information without proper substantiation.

4. Violation of RESPA requirements to properly apply and account for payments.

Requested Relief : Immediate deletion of all inaccurate late payment reporting related to this account from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 
Written confirmation of compliance. 
Corrective action taken by the CFPB to ensure LoanCare adheres to federal law and consumer protection requirements.

LoanCares actions have caused direct and measurable harm. I request that the CFPB hold LoanCare accountable for their noncompliance and compel them to correct my credit reports.
