Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance regarding an issue involving two XXXX XXXX credit card accounts, both issued by First National Bank of Omaha ( FNBO ) one in my name and one in my partners name.

Each card carries an annual fee of {$100.00}. We had planned to either downgrade or close both accounts before the next annual fees were charged to reduce our unexpected expenses. The annual fees were posted on XX/XX/year>, b

ut we did not immediately notice them. We made only one transaction very closely after this date ; however, once we realized the fees had been applied, we stopped using both cards immediately and contacted FNBO to request that the fees be waived or refunded. We explained that we had intended to close or downgrade the accounts and that we acted promptly upon discovering the charges. Despite our good-faith efforts and responsible communication, the supervisor declined to reverse the fee.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the three major credit bureausXXXX, Equifax, and XXXXfor ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with Metro 2 Format and CDIA industry standards.

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court.

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information Metro 2 and CDIA Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency may not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself. '' Cushman v. Trans Union Corp., 115 F.3d 220 ( 3rd Cir. 1997 ) These harms are measurable, preventable, and attributable to willful negligence and disregard of consumer protection law. 

XXXX  Account # XXXX XXXX XXXX  Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$310.00} Relief Requested : I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take appropriate supervisory or enforcement action and require XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  to : Immediately delete all negative items previously disputed that can not be verified with complete documentation Cease reporting unverifiable data and require original source validation for all disputes Re-review investigation procedures and prohibit reliance solely on e-OSCAR as a substitute for human reinvestigation Certify in writing that corrective actions have been taken and notify all furnishers and third-party users of the updated information

State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the inaccurate information on my credit report acquired by TransUnion. This letter is for the purpose to invoke my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15USC 1681i, which obligates you to provide me with the procedures you used to verify the information on my credit report.

If you can not verify the accuracy of the disputed items, they must be deleted from my credit report right away.

Additionally, under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( 15 USC 6802 ) I have an essential right to privacy regarding my financial information. Also. 15 USC 1681 ( 4 ) under the FCRA highlights the importance of maintaining the accuracy and privacy of consumer credit information.

No permissible purpose, as shown in 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ), has been established for TransUnion to maintain a credit report on my behalf. TransUnion has neither my permission nor a valid permissible purpose to supply a credit report containing my personal information. The absence of such permissible purpose makes the presence of this information a violation of my privacy rights.

Additionally, 18 USC 1028a addresses identity theft and its associated penalties, highlighting that identity theft is a serious crime.

The unauthorized acquisition and use of my personal information is a criminal act and violates principles of privacy and consumer protection.

Under 15 USC 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are required to block information that results from identity theft. The transactions in question were not conducted by me. If my information has been compromised due to identity theft, I expect TransUnion to take all necessary action to correct and block this information as ordered by law.

l from now on request a formal investigation into my dispute and the removal of any incorrect information from TransUnion 's records if it is determined that no permissible purpose exists for maintaining this information. I expect TransUnion to comply with the FCRA, 18 USC 1028a, and 15 USC 1681c-2 to fix any issues related to identity theft.

Please provide me with a written response to this dispute within 30 days, with detail on any action taken to correct the inaccuracies on my credit report, along with the results of your investigation, If my report is not corrected or removed in accordance with the law, I will take legal action.

'' Called Chase on XX/XX/year> and they continued to argue that the transactions were approved by me and consequently they were not going to contact the bank that received the funds. The bank states the request was from an App on a phone that had been used in the past and that a fingerprint was used to sign on. I do not know how the information was obtained to process these fraudulent transactions, but the XXXX XXXX  account received money fraudulently. The XXXX XXXX  account probably has other illegally obtained funds. Chase Bank said they would not provide information without a subpoena.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
