Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because Experian has failed to comply with Section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I am a victim of identity theft and previously submitted all required documentation, including : A valid FTC Identity Theft Report A government-issued photo ID A written statement identifying the fraudulent accounts Despite fulfilling all legal requirements, Experian has not blocked or permanently removed the following fraudulent accounts from my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  These accounts were not opened by me and were reported as part of an identity theft case. My documentation clearly outlines that these entries are unauthorized, yet Experian continues to report them, causing serious harm to my creditworthiness and delaying access to housing and credit.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX U.S. Code XXXX ) says ( XXXX ) 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 XXXX U.S. Code XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXX U.S. Code XXXX. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under XXXX U.S. Code XXXX, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am currently going through a divorce and have discovered that XXXX  is reporting a credit card account from Navy Federal Credit Union, on which I am listed only as an authorized user, not a primary account holder. This account is associated with my spouse, with whom I am no longer financially connected, and who has maintained sole control and usage of the account. 

Despite this, the account is being reported on my XXXX  credit report as if I am liable for the balance and activity. This is misleading and inaccurate. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ), credit reporting agencies are required to maintain accurate information. Including an account where I have no legal or financial responsibility creates a material misrepresentation of my credit obligations.

Additionally, as this situation arises in the context of an active divorce, reporting a tradeline that is solely under the other partys financial control is inappropriate and prejudicial.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you regarding a violation of my privacy and confidentiality rights, protected under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) ). Pursuant to 18 USC 8, I have identified the following accounts that have breached these legal provisions : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ), a consumer reporting agency may only provide a consumers credit report with the consumers explicit written authorization. The following accounts have accessed or reported on my credit profile without my consent, which constitutes a clear violation of this provision : XXXX XXXX. Account # : XXXXXXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. Reporting of Obsolete Information Violation of 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes, which antedates the report by more than seven years.

3. Right to Privacy Section 602 ( A ) of the FCRA The FCRA, under Section 602 ( A ), clearly states that the consumer has a right to privacy with respect to the disclosure of their personal information. Any release or reporting of information without legal cause or consumer consent violates this right and must be addressed accordingly.

4. Inaccurate or Unverified Information 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), no person shall furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if that person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. According to 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), once notified of such inaccuracy by the consumer, the furnisher has an obligation to either correct or remove the inaccurate data.

I hereby notify you that the information associated with the above referenced accounts is inaccurate, obsolete, or both.

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I placed an order through XXXX on XX/XX/year>, and used Affirm as my payment method. The order was canceled by XXXX shortly after because the item was out of stock. Despite the cancellation, Affirm has not released the funds or cleared the loan. I contacted Affirm and was told it will take up to 7 days for the cancellation to process before I can access a new loan. 

This is problematic because I urgently need to replace my laptop for work purposes, and Affirms delay is preventing me from using their services as intended. I have made multiple attempts to resolve this directly with Affirm, but they state that no action can be taken until the cancellation automatically clears. 

I am not in possession of the item. The order was never fulfilled or shipped. I am requesting that Affirm cancel or release the hold on this transaction immediately so I can move forward with a replacement purchase. 

This delay has caused financial hardship and work disruption, and I believe it reflects poorly on both Affirm and the transparency of their financing process.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting a reinvestigation into multiple items appearing on my credit report, as they are either fraudulent or inaccurately reported. Several accounts listed are not mine. I did not authorize, open, or benefit from them. These items appear to be fraudulent, and I have not received any disclosures, billing statements, or signed agreements as required under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) and the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ). Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611, I request a detailed reinvestigation and disclosure of the verification process, including the identity of the furnisher.

Additionally, an active account is being reported with a late payment status, which is factually incorrect. I have made timely payments, and this inaccurate reporting violates FCRA 623 and the DoddFrank Acts prohibition against deceptive practices. This negative reporting misrepresents my creditworthiness and causes substantial harm. 

I request a manual, factual-based reinvestigation, not an automated E-OSCAR response. Under FCRA and CFPB guidelines, furnishers and credit bureaus are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and correct or delete inaccurate information. I expect updated reporting and full compliance with the legal timeframes outlined in FCRA.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Experian has reported inaccurate, unverifiable, and misleading information on my credit file in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ). Despite previous disputes, Experian has failed to provide proper validation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), which mandates a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information.

Under FACTA Title I, Section 151, consumer reporting agencies must ensure that all reported data is accurate, complete, and properly verified. Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 6801 of the GLBA imposes a duty to protect the accuracy and confidentiality of consumer information, which includes preventing the dissemination of incorrect data.

Additionally, the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), under 15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq., emphasizes the importance of clear and accurate financial disclosures. Any failure to provide verifiable and accurate information not only violates consumer rights but also subjects Experian to regulatory penalties.
