Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reportin Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon gfair 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.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this follow-up complaint regarding fraudulent information on my credit report that remains unresolved, despite my previous complaint filed 30 days ago. I am disputing this information pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and again request that the fraudulent/unauthorized accounts listed below be blocked or removed immediately. 
I have attached a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as fraudulent within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving an identity theft report. However, despite my prior complaint and multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly with EQUIFAX, the following fraudulent accounts remain on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX These accounts are fraudulent and must be blocked immediately. The continued presence of these accounts is severely damaging my creditworthiness and is preventing me from purchasing a home and accessing essential financial services to support my family and economic stability. 
I have requested verification and copies of contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, but after more than 60 days, I have received no response. Additionally, these accounts have been removed by other credit reporting agencies due to lack of verification, yet EQUIFAX continues to report them as mine without proper validation. 
I respectfully urge the CFPB to intervene and ensure that EQUIFAX complies with federal law by blocking these fraudulent accounts immediately and providing me with confirmation of such action.

Company: Chime Financial Inc

Complaint narrative:
I tried to use the mobile check deposit feature on my chime app. The check was rejected by quote unquote the system. I called and spoke with an account representative who elevated the call to a supervisor. That supervisor was adamant that they are not allowed to, via policy, Tell me why my check was not allowed to be deposited. That supervisor then hung up on me without resolving my issue. I called back and another representative elevated it to yet another supervisor. That supervisor 's name I was given as XXXX XXXX. She was very adamant saying that the policy says they can not provide information as to why my check was rejected. She also stated that for security purposes it was that way. I wanted to know exactly which security purpose, and was not given that information. She also said that the issue could not be elevated beyond her. There has to be somebody at that company that can provide me with the information necessary. I can not prevent this issue from happening again if I don't know the cause. They have deposited these checks, from the XXXX XXXX XXXX, before with no issues. Somehow I now have an issue? I would like to know why my bank who is supposed to be FDIC insured, can not provide me with something that they don't even know. They should know. They're the company. They should have access to everything regarding that company, or at least the phone number of someone who does. Them withholding this information from me does nothing for security purposes or my safety as one of their customers.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
