Complaint narrative:
I asked for proof that the accounts belong to me. They have claimed to have done an investigation and the results state they are verified as my accounts. Which is impossible because I have never opened any accounts. Just because they have my information in their computer systems doesn't mean it's me. Federal law says that is not proof that I opened this account.

Complaint narrative:
I am a verified victim of identity theft. Multiple unauthorized accounts were opened in my name and reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX without my written consent. These fraudulent accounts have severely damaged my credit profile. Despite submitting a valid FTC Identity Theft Report ( # XXXX ), the credit bureaus have continued to report this false data.

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

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, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: Chime Financial Inc

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding XXXX 's handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using XXXX numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and XXXX failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that XXXX has not only neglected to protect consumers but 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:
Unauthorized access to my credit report by several companies has caused direct and significant harm to my credit and credit score. I previously contacted your agency and was assured that these unauthorized inquiries would be removed. That assurance has not been honored, as these inquiries remain. This inaction is unacceptable. The continued presence of these potentially fraudulent entries raises serious concerns of identity theft and demonstrates a failure to protect my consumer rights.

The furnishers have failed to provide original, documented proof that these alleged delinquencies occurred.

Company: Global Lending Services LLC

Complaint narrative:
Good evening, I am submitting this follow-up because the previous response provided by Global Consulting Agency was incomplete and failed to show that I ever agreed to have any account or obligation transferred to their company. 

There was no contract presented with my name. No authorization showing I allowed this group to access my personal data or report anything under my identity. I have never dealt with this company directly and do not recognize them. Their reporting continues to appear without my consent or approval. 

The documents they shared had nothing original or official. There was no record from the original creditor showing that Global had the legal right to collect from me. I am entitled to receive clear, signed, and specific proof before anyone lists an account under my credit history.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year>, I closed my XXXX account and started using my credit union as my primary bank. I had auto draft set up with discover for years and decided to for convince to set up again with my credit union. My first auto draft was set for the XXXX of the following month. I found out later that month that the auto payment needed to be established again and that I needed to now make the payment that was now missed. I made the payment over the phone with the agent they setup the auto pay again. Unfortunately, again the auto payment was not setup which resulted in me having to make another payment with an agent. During this call the agent asked my wife to confirm our credit union account number which we did. I thought okay finally we should be go to go. I got a notification on my credit report that my credit had dropped by over XXXX points, when I looked into why I saw that Discover had reported that we had missed XXXX payments. I immediately called them and they stated that they canceled our direct deposit 1 day before it was set to be deducted and put our account on some list so we can make payments to them from this account. We were shocked. I was told by our credit union was that it didn't process was because of how they ( Discover ) present the payment to my credit union. Discover confirmed this information, but when requested to have the incorrect information removed from our credit report they are refusing and saying they processed the payment correctly. The strange thing is that we are using the same account and have had no problems with payments processing. I have had Discover " investigation '' and they still are refusing to remove the incorrect reporting. They day they mailed a letter the day before they canceled our direct deposit with caused a missed payment. We NEVER received any letter which wouldn't have made because they had already reported me late. They said they sent it to a email account that we don't use. They are refusing to remove this inaccurate information from our account. Our bank is willing to send a letter confirming that Discover present a payment that they knew wouldn't go through with my credit union like a regular bank. I want this off our credit.
