Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Unauthorized Credit Inquiries and FCRA Violations by Credit Reporting Agencies Complaint : Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered the following unauthorized inquiries : EXPERIAN XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year>XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I did not apply for credit or authorize these companies to check my credit report. These inquiries were made without my consent, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I am requesting immediate removal of these fraudulent inquiries from my credit reports. 

Request for Action : Immediate Removal of Unauthorized Inquiries : These inquiries were made without my authorization. I request that the credit reporting agencies immediately remove all unauthorized inquiries listed above from my credit report.

Compliance with the FCRA : Under the FCRA, the credit reporting agencies and creditors are required to ensure that the information on my credit report is accurate. The unauthorized inquiries on my report violate this provision, and I demand compliance to maintain accurate and fair reporting.

Stop Collection Activities : I request that all collection activities related to any fraudulent accounts tied to these unauthorized inquiries be stopped immediately. 

FCRA Violation - Permissible Purpose : According to FCRA Section 604, a company must have a permissible purpose to access a consumers credit report, such as my explicit authorization or a credit application initiated by me. These inquiries were made without such permission, and I believe this is a clear violation of the FCRA.

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate these unauthorized inquiries and hold the credit reporting agencies and any related companies accountable for violating the FCRA.

Requested Resolution : Immediate removal of all unauthorized inquiries from my credit report. 
A full investigation by the CFPB into this violation of the FCRA. 
Ensure that the credit reporting agencies comply with the FCRA to maintain accurate information. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submission, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the continued presence of an inaccurate item on my credit report that has already been removed from my credit files at XXXX and XXXX but is still appearing on my Equifax credit report. This inconsistency is not only affecting my credit score but is also a violation of my rights under federal consumer protection laws. 

The account in question is : Account Name : XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Date of Removal from Other Credit Bureaus : year 2024 Upon reviewing my credit reports, I discovered that while this item was removed from both XXXX and XXXX following a dispute, it still appears on my Equifax report, which is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i. Under this statute, I have the right to dispute inaccurate or outdated information on my credit report, and the credit bureau must investigate and correct any errors within 30 days of receiving a dispute. 

Additionally, under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), which amended the FCRA, information on my credit report must be accurate, complete, and up-to-date. The continued reporting of this item after it has been removed by other bureaus is a failure to meet this standard.

Given that this item has already been corrected by two of the three major credit bureaus, I respectfully request that Equifax investigate this matter and remove the outdated information from my credit file promptly. This item is harming my creditworthiness and is an obvious violation of my rights under the FCRA and FACTA.

Please confirm the following : The investigation of this item in accordance with FCRA Section 1681i.

The removal of the inaccurate information from my Equifax report.

A copy of my updated Equifax credit report reflecting this correction.

I expect this issue to be resolved within the 30-day period mandated by the FCRA. Failure to comply will leave me no choice but to pursue further action, including filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and seeking legal remedies for the violation of my consumer rights. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving confirmation of the correction.

Complaint narrative:
i am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactrions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers bus has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Complaint narrative:
Coinbase has locked my account and refuses to return my money. I have asked for a password reset to get into my account and Coinbase refuses to send a password reset link. Coinbase has stolen my money without my permission and will not return it. 

In my previous complaint, Coinbase claims I can access my money. However, Coinbase also refuses to let me access my account. 

Since Coinbase has locked me out of my account, Coinbase should be compelled to return my money to my bank account which it can do, and which I have asked to be done several times.
