Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a collection account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The account information is as follows : Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) Account Number : XXXX Amount : {$320.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/year> Report Number : XXXX ( XXXX ) I have disputed this account directly with XXXX  and requested validation directly from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA 809 ). Despite my requests : XXXX. XXXX, XXXX has failed to provide proper validation of the alleged debt, including documentation proving their authority to collect and an accurate accounting of the amount claimed. 

Experian verified the account without providing adequate proof or the required method of verification under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) ). 

This account was reported without my prior knowledge or notice from the original creditor, raising serious compliance concerns under federal law. 

I believe this reporting violates both the FDCPA and FCRA because the debt has not been properly validated and Experian continues to report unverifiable information.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because [ Experian / XXXX XXXX XXXX  ] has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). Despite my written disputes, the bureau failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation within 30 days, continued reporting inaccurate accounts, and failed to provide written results. These actions violate 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ), and 1681e ( b ). Courts have consistently ruled that such conduct is unlawfulSessa v.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Wells Fargo for violating my rights under Regulation E ( 12 CFR 1005 ) by denying a valid fraud claim and refusing to return my funds despite clear evidence that I was not responsible for the unauthorized transaction. 

I reported an unauthorized debit card transaction for {$750.00} that was made through XXXX without my knowledge or consent. Wells Fargo initially issued a provisional credit. Later, they reversed the credit and denied my fraud claim claiming that the XXXX account used was associated with my devices and had other transactions on it. 

This is an improper and legally insufficient reason to deny reimbursement. I only have XXXX XXXX account, which does not show this transaction. Whatever account was used was not mine. Device fingerprinting alone does not prove customer authorization and Wells Fargo never provided any evidence that I personally authorized or benefited from the transaction. 

I never approved this transaction, I did not possess the card at the time of the fraud, and I filed a police report confirming this. Wells Fargo did not perform a reasonable investigation as required by federal law. Instead, they used vague assumptions to blame me rather than engage with XXXX or obtain proof of account ownership. 

Under Regulation E, once I reported the fraud, the burden of proof is on the bank to demonstrate I authorized the charge, not on me to prove I didnt. They failed to meet this burden and wrongfully withdrew my funds. 

I am requesting : XXXX. Immediate reinstatement of my fraud credit in the amount of {$750.00} XXXX. A full written explanation of the evidence used in their denial XXXX. A reopening of my claim with proper investigation Wells Fargos mishandling of this case has caused financial hardship and stress. I am requesting that the CFPB intervene to ensure my rights are upheld. I can upload denial letters and a copy of the police if needed. On the denial it says I had the card but then I called back and corrected them, this is when they brought up the XXXX device finger print and all the other stuff they claim
