Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX MY University notified me that I was approved for the XXXX grant- these grants were not supposed to be registered as loans and they have added thousands of dollars inaccurately to my overall debt on my credit report. 

I am also writing because an unverified innacurate Collection form XXXX is still showing up on my TransUnion account even though the other bureaus have already found fault in reporting and removed it. What does Transunion have to verify that this account is accurate when I have been diligent in supplying them ample evidence that this account is clearly being inaccurately reported against my FCRA rights! 

And A chargeoff from XXXX that is not being reported accurately. How can a charge-off/collection also show that I paid my account on time? How does a consumer get such a major derogatory item on their credit report but yet it's reported I was paying my bills on time, every month? I have been sending in disputes for over a year and the bureaus have failed to explain how this account is still being able to be reported. It is Clearly a major violation of my FCRA rights!! 

I have written to XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX and they have refused to take these inaccuate accounts off of my credit report. Per my understanding, due to the FCRA this is highly illegal and unfair to my reporting rights. I do have the right to request anything inaccurate be removed from my credit report. 

Attached below are some of the numerous attempts I've made to get these items removed from my reports being that they are clearly inaccurate

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX and XX/XX/2022, I visited a few car dealerships to shop around and explicitly told these dealerships that I do not want my credit report run because I will be getting financing through my credit union as well as making a down payment. 

These dealerships then took it upon themselves to run my credit report over 20 times across different banks to try and find a rate that would beat my credit union even though I had just asked them not to do that. They did so against my wishes because they were aggressively trying to make sure I left with a vehicle that day. Below are these frivolous inquiries segmented by credit bureau.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I recently filed a CFPB complaint ID : XXXX, where Equifax claims to have " verified '' information that is incorrectly reported on my credit profile. Equifax has not satisfied the requirements under 15 USC 1681i as it relates to the investigative process, Equifax needs to provide information about how they verified this information. Who did they speak to, addresses, phone numbers, what was said to verify this information? 

Equifax has also not satisfied the requirements under 15 USC 1681e ( b ) as it relates to accuracy of report. Equifax has not followed reasonable procedures to assure maximum accuracy of the information concerning the individual to whom the report relates. Equifax should also be working with the other CRA 's to make sure all accounts are reporting the same accounts with accuracy. The exact accounts Equifax claimed they " verified '' have been deleted from other CRA 's because they are in fact, inaccurate. Why has another CRA been able to verify that these accounts are inaccurate, and have been deleted but Equifax can not? ( See attached ) Equifax is also reporting that an open/active account has been closed by the creditor. This is inaccurate information. The account is still open. I have attached a new order where I used my credit from the account that is being reported as closed by the creditor. This also does not satisfy the requirements of 15 USC 1681e ( b ) as it relates to accuracy of report. Equifax does not follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum accuracy of the information concerning the individual to whom the report relates. ( See attached ) These are all known violations, that I expect to be remedied immediately. I have filed with the FTC report XXXX making them aware of this pattern of violations pursuant to 15 USC 1681s ( a ) ( 2 ) ( a )

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
My husband and I have a joint account with Ally Bank. Recently there were unauthorized transactions ( we never lost the debit cards and they are still in our possession ) and we lost about {$1700.00} due to a data leak on the bank 's end. We want Ally bank to return our money immediately. 

My husband and I have been Ally bank customers for a long time. We each have a debit card for the joint checking account and we have the Ally bank app in each of our phones, which we use to manage the debit card. We have taken multiple steps on the App to make sure we are securing our account. 

1 ) The app has a manage debit card option, which we use to lock the debit cards. We only unlock them when we are at the ATM to get money and then we lock it again immediately. At the time the unauthorized transactions took place, the cards were locked. 

2 ) Additionally, the app has a feature where it says when unlocked what kind of transactions are permitted. Using this feature we authorized the card to be used only as an ATM card. However, even with this safety measures from our side, our debit card was charged XXXX times on XX/XX/XXXX ( Thu ) Evening. 

3 ) Also we had setup alerts to notify ( text and email ) us with transaction over {$0.00} Our debit cards were charged 7 times on the evening of XX/XX/XXXX. We did get text and email alerts. We immediately called the fraud line by using the automated option we indicated that these are not authorized transactions. The fraud line did not have a live person at the time so we called the Ally bank customer service. The wait was over an hour long ( The customer service agent did communicate to us that they are getting similar calls a lot which is causing the long wait ). The chat option from the bank said the wait time is over 4 hours. In the meantime my husband send an email ( via their website by logging into our Ally bank account ) that these are not authorized transactions and should not be processed. When we finally got to talk to the agent, they told us that they can not dispute the transactions until they formally post in the account ( at the time they said it was pending status, however the available amount in our account was reduced to account for those XXXX transactions about ~ {$1700.00} ). As of today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) those fraudulent transactions have posted in our account. We called them back at least 2 more times and spent additional 3 hours waiting in line for Ally Bank customer service, but we were able to formally dispute those transactions. Ally Bank is still not committing to refund our money and we want them to refund our money immediately.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I refinanced both of my automobile loans to receive a lower interest rate. Initially, all of the credit bureaus had both accounts for both cars listed on my credit report. They ( XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX ) dropped my credit score by almost ( XXXX ) XXXX points because of the transfer of the loans. It is inconceivable that the reduction was warranted and fair, as I have a caucasian friend who sold his house and his credit score didn't drop a point. The blatant disregard for Consumers is obvious or should be and warrants an investigation of the entities.
