This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 16811, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

Complaint narrative:
Good Afternoon, I was scammed out of {$3000.00} while using Cash App. The payment was sent to a person named XXXX XXXX, who was also using the alias XXXX XXXX. This individual offered a service under false pretenses. At the time, I was unaware that this person had multiple Cash App accounts and had been stealing money from hundreds of people. They were running a Ponzi scheme and taking thousands of dollars from users of Cash App. 

I reached out to Cash App to explain the situation and reported the scammers account, however I never received any follow up from Cash App. Moreover, I requested a refund, but it was denied. There seems to be no effective safeguards in place to protect consumers from this type of fraud. Additionally, the lengthy response time only worsened the situation. I reported fraud to by bank and they shared that CashApp denied giving me a refund. As a result, I have faced significant financial stress and was nearly at risk of losing my apartment.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint regarding your reporting of an unverifiable XXXX XXXX account on my credit report. This account is missing an account number and has not been verified. When I contacted XXXX XXXX directly, they confirmed that they could not verify any account under my name, especially without an account number. 

Over 60 days ago, I sent a dispute letter requesting the removal of this account due to its invalid information. Despite this, you failed to respond or take corrective action. I have attached a copy of my dispute letter, which is both date- and time-stamped, as evidence of my initial request. Your failure to investigate and correct this inaccuracy violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and demonstrates a lack of reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in consumer reports. 

Additionally, the information reported for this account contains discrepancies in Metro 2 data fields between Experian and XXXX, further proving its inaccuracy. XXXX has already deleted this erroneous account, reinforcing that this information should not be reported. 

Violations of Federal Law : Failure to Maintain Reasonable Procedures ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ) {$1000.00} False and Misleading Reporting ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ) {$1000.00} Failure to Promptly Delete Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) ( A ) ) {$1000.00} Unauthorized Use of Consumer Information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( e ) ( 6 ) ) {$1000.00} Total Amount Due for Violations : {$4000.00} This is a clear violation of federal consumer protection laws. Your company has no legal standing to continue reporting this erroneous account, and numerous case law precedents confirm that failure to maintain reasonable procedures is grounds for a lawsuit in favor of the consumer. Should this matter remain unresolved, I am fully prepared to pursue legal action against your company for willful noncompliance under 15 U.S.C. 1681n et seq.

I expect an immediate resolution to this matter and look forward to your prompt response.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Bankruptcy Reporting FCRA Violation Dear TransUnion, I am formally disputing a U.S. Bankruptcy that is inaccurately reporting on my credit file.

I have never filed for bankruptcy in my life, and this erroneous reporting is causing significant harm to my credit profile. 

There are multiple individuals named XXXX XXXX residing in XXXX XXXX XXXX, and after visiting the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, a court clerk confirmed that the bankruptcy reporting on my TransUnion credit file does not belong to me but to another individual with the same name. Additionally, the clerk verified that the courts do not report to credit bureaus, which means this inaccurate information was likely the result of an error on TransUnions part. Neither XXXX nor XXXX are reporting this bankruptcy, further proving this mistake. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies are required to maintain maximum possible accuracy in consumer credit files. This bankruptcy is incorrect and must be permanently deleted from my TransUnion credit report immediately to comply with the law.

I expect written confirmation once this inaccurate information has been removed. If this issue is not resolved within 30 days, I will escalate my complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and consider legal action. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
