Consumer complaint received 2025-01-15 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address a matter of significant concern regarding my consumer credit report. It has come to my attention that my personal information was exposed in a recent national data breach. Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize or recall authorizing, I've attempted to solve this problem 3 times. Congress states that credit reporting agencies have a grave duty to report complete and accurate information in regard to consumer credit reports.

To ensure the accuracy and legitimacy of the reported information, I have previously requested validation of the debts associated with these accounts from the credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ). However, to date, I have not received the required documentation or verification substantiating these accounts.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681 ], specifically : Section 609 ( Disclosure of Information to Consumers ) : I am entitled to all documentation related to the disputed accounts, including the original creditor 's name and verification details.

Section 611 ( Procedure in Case of Disputed Accuracy ) : The CRAs are required to reinvestigate disputed information and remove or correct any unverifiable or inaccurate data within 30 days of my dispute.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) ], I have the right to request debt validation, including evidence that these debts are legitimate and that the reporting entities have the authority to collect or report them. The lack of sufficient validation violates this statute.

As my information has been compromised, I have taken the following steps to protect my identity and resolve this matter : 1. Filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), reference number XXXX. 
2. Attached is a copy of the National Data Breach notification report for your review.

3. Submitted a certified debt validation request, including proof of delivery # XXXX. 
I urge you to comply with your obligations under the FCRA and FDCPA by : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I am requesting the immediate investigation and removal of any unverifiable, inaccurate, or unauthorized information from my consumer credit file.

Good day! 
I am reaching out regarding several concerning accounts in my credit report that require investigation for a lawful resolution. Upon review, I identified inaccuracies and inconsistencies that violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The violations I have noted include : Violation of Timely Payments Regulations Violation of Finance Charge Determination Violation of United States Code Law ( TILA 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) billing error ) I request that you provide proper evidence showing that I was late on this account, in compliance with Section 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) Ai, 15 USC 1666b, and 1637 ( b ). If you can not supply the required evidence, you can not deem payment as late, which constitutes a violation of Section 15 USC 1681s-2. Please update the account as " PAID '' or " PAID AS AGREED. '' Additionally, I am filing this complaint due to the multiple inaccuracies in my report, which have negatively impacted my ability to secure credit. The violations that need prompt attention are : FCRA Section 616 - Civil Liability for Willful Noncompliance FCRA Section 603 ( 4 ) ( 2 ) ( A ) - Obligations with Respect to Disclosures of Personal Information FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) - Furnishing Deceptive Forms Violation of Credit Report Permissible Purposes Privacy Act violations U.S.C 552a ( g ) ( 1 ) ( A ) USC 1692e I demand verifiable proof, specifically the original consumer contract with my signature, for the accounts listed.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the fair credit reporting act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable re-investigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The consumer protection financial bureau ( CPFB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systematic issues, such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experians inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees i have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges & credits. This issue aligns with the CFPB findings against Navy Federal for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account transactions

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations.

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Company: Servicer under contract with Federal Student Aid
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding their improper handling of student loan accounts that were transferred from the U.S. Department of Education without my consent. XXXX and the Department of Education are separate entities with distinct EINs, and I never authorized the Department of Education to share or sell my information to XXXX. XXXX has reported these accounts on my credit report without proper validation or proof of ownership. Furthermore, if the accounts were charged off or canceled before being sold to XXXX, the Department of Education would be responsible for issuing IRS Form 1099-C. However, if XXXX purchased the accounts, they assume responsibility and should provide the IRS Form 1099-C. The continued collection and reporting of these debts without proper validation or required tax documentation constitute double collection and fraud. This has caused significant financial and emotional distress due to inaccurate reporting and mishandling of my personal information.

I have bills to pay today and thats why I deposited my money. They stated they could not give me a credit until they investigated and it will take XXXX days. This is unacceptable as I will now have late fees due to this banks fault.

I want to take a moment to share my serious concerns about how Zella is handling disputes, especially in light of the recent lawsuit from the CFPB that points out major problems with the service. Ive used Zelle many times and have reported issues, but my bank and Zelle havent properly looked into my claims. They told me that recovering my lost funds is impossible in that tracking these transactions isnt always feasible. The CFPB is finding so that all has not only failed to protect consumers, but has also allowed repeat offenders to take advantage of the system, putting users at risk of scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is simply unacceptable, has affected my banking relationship as well, and raises real worries about consumer safety.
