Complaint narrative:
Subject : Continued Inaccurate Reporting and Failure to Disclose Verification Method - XXXX  XXXX XXXX Account I am writing to formally dispute the continued reporting of inaccurate information on my credit report, specifically regarding the XXXX  XXXX XXXX account. Despite previous disputes and requests for corrections, the inaccuracies persist, indicating potential willful noncompliance under 15 USC 1681n.

As per 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies are obligated to " follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information. '' The continued reporti
ng of inaccurate information violates this provision.

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681i mandates that credit reporting agencies " conduct an investigation with respect to disputed information. '' Despite multiple disputes, the inaccuracies remain, suggesting a failure to conduct proper investigations. 

Additionally, I previously requested the method of verification for past disputes, as is my right under FCRA Section 611. This information has not been provided, further hindering my ability to assess the accuracy and completeness of your investigations.

Due to the repeated failures to correct inaccuracies and the failure to provide the requested verification method, I am formally requesting the deletion [ XXXX  ] of the XXXX  XXXX XXXX account from my credit report. This request is supported by : 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) : Requirement for Deletion - If an item is found to be inaccurate and can not be verified properly, it must be deleted XXXX by the credit reporting agency.

15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 : Responsibilities of Furnishers of Information to Consumer Reporting Agencies - Furnishers , such as XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX are obligated to provide accurate information and investigate disputes. Their failure to do so warrants the deletion of the inaccurate account.

In line with 15 U.S. Code 1681n, I am also attaching an invoice for damages incurred due to the continued reporting of inaccurate information. These damages include, but are not limited to, lost opportunities and emotional distress. I expect these damages to be paid in full as a direct consequence of your failure to comply with the FCRA. 

I anticipate prompt deletion [ XXXX  ] of the disputed account and full payment of the attached invoice. Failure to comply with these requests will leave me no choice but to pursue further legal action. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Allied Consumer Assistance

Complaint narrative:
Received a notice in the mail ( XX/XX/year> ) from Allied Consumer Assistance regarding CARES Act-Homeowner Assistance Fund mortgage adjustment program. 
This company is seeking over XXXX XXXX dollars and a signed contract from me to " prepare '' a " government backed package '' to send to my lender. They state my mortgage interest rate will be reduced by several points, from XXXX to XXXX. Use of covid relief funds will be used to do this... 
I did not sign the Docu-sign documents as it seemed strange they would promise this drop in interest without my mortgage lender being involved. I call my lender and they have no information regarding the program or the company. I then deep searched the company website and it is bogus .... The domain leads to a XXXX XXXX in a shopping center in California and active in 2024. I live in Pennsylvania so why would a company in California be working on Pa mortgages? Also, further searched this company and the various alias they have listed on there mailer, website, and documents.. Seems they have been praying on consumers ' in the past under HUD housing deception.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
Capital reported my account to the credit bureaus as late payment. I never received a bill. I never received a past due notice. I was charged late fees. My credit score has been affected by this. Capital one only removed one of the late fees and refused to reverse the late payment reporting. They also reduced my credit limit on the card due to this late payment reporting. This is a dormant account that I do not use so if I dont receive a notice I would not know that there is a balance on the account.
