Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
There are several inaccurate items appearing on my credit report that must be addressed without delay. Some contain incorrect information that doesnt match any of my records, others are completely unfamiliar, and several appear to have been added without any proper verification. This is a clear violation of the FCRA, which requires that all data on a credit report be 100 % accurate and verifiable through reliable documentation. 

To resolve this issue, I am demanding the immediate and permanent removal of all disputed information. If the data furnishers can not produce valid evidence confirming the accuracy of these entries, they have no legal right to remain on my file. I expect prompt action to correct these errors and restore the accuracy of my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved.

Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
The APR on my Citibank Home Depot store credit card account has increased to 29.99 % even though I have been a card holder for over a decade and pay my credit account payment each month on time or before the due date and pay above the minimum amount due each month. I am a good credit customer yet, I am being penalized with outrageously high interest rates. Based on my monthly statement, if I pay only the minimum payment, it will take 19 YEARS to pay off the balance of ~ {$6000.00}. NINETEEN YEARS!!!!!! If I pay ~ {$50.00} above the minimum payment it will still take 3 years to pay off, paying almost {$3000.00} in interest above the actual balance and assuming no additional charges will be made to the card. 

I have called the customer service line on XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting a decrease in my interest rate and the customer service manager stated there is no way to reduce the interest rate they can only increase the rate based on their own arbitrary decisions. The Federal interest rates have decreased, yet the APR on my Citibank Home Depot store credit card is INCREASING. 

The extreme interest rate is absolutely unacceptable.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an unsolicited visa card from CashAppXXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX I do not have, nor do I desire, an account with Cash App. 

I called Cash App on XX/XX/year> to report the fraud, and was asked for more personally identifiable information that I was not comfortable providing to a company where fraud in my name was already perpetrated. The agent I spoke with also stated that they would email me a link that I would need to click to submit pictures of the card to report fraud. Again, I'm not comfortable clicking a random link in an email when fraud has occurred. 

All I wish to do is have any account or card opened in my name closed immediately.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against Chase Bank regarding a {$390.00} annual fee charged to my credit account on XX/XX/XXXX, which I was assured would be prorated if I chose to cancel the XXXX XXXX before the end of the billing cycle. 

I canceled the service on XX/XX/XXXX, having used only four months of the annual coverage. Based on the pro-rated monthly value of approximately {$32.00}, I was expecting a refund of about {$260.00} for the unused eight months ( XXXX through XXXX ). However, despite previous assurances from Chase representatives that a pro-rated refund would be issued upon cancellation, I was later informed that no refund would be provided. 

I have made multiple attempts to resolve this directly with Chase customer service, but the issue remains unresolved. I believe this is both misleading and unfair, and it may constitute deceptive business practices.

I am requesting your assistance in helping me receive the pro-rated refund I was promised. 

Please let me know if you require any further documentation. I am happy to provide statements, dates of communication, and any other supporting materials. 

Thank you for your time and support.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent.

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

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.
