Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute on Account number XXXX regarding the account showing charged off multiple times. the account is showing for its " opened date '' being inaccurate. It was opened in XXXX and is being reported as being opened in XXXX. 

I am filing this complaint regarding an inaccurate item on my credit report that continues to negatively impact my credit. 
Despite my efforts to resolve this directly with the reporting agency, it remains unresolved. I request immediate investigation and removal of this item, as it is incorrect and does not reflect my true credit history. 
I recently was notified that CFPB has filed a lawsuit against the company XXXX. 
It alleged the company of accepting unreliable information, failure to notify consumer dispute results. This aligns well with my situation. XXXX has not attempted to remove, nor correct any information. I'm requesting this derogatory remark be removed or corrected immediately as it's affecting my chances of getting a house. XXXX violates my rights as a consumer, as well as federal laws.

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.

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent.

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputes, particularly in the light of CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that zelle 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.

I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud I faced several times on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss and stress to my life.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I disputed inaccuracies on my credit report with Experian regarding the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account # : ... XXXX ). Despite providing supporting evidence, Experian failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and violated several of its obligations under the law. Specifically : Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Reinvestigation ( FCRA Section 1681i ( a ) ) : Experian did not adequately address my dispute or verify the accuracy of the information reported.

Failure to Provide Relevant Information to Furnishers ( FCRA Section 1681i ( a ) ( 2 ) ) : Experian did not forward the supporting documents I submitted to the data furnisher.

Failure to Assure Maximum Possible Accuracy ( FCRA Section 1681e ( b ) ) : Experian failed to ensure the information on my credit report was accurate.

Failure to Provide Clear Dispute Results ( FCRA Section 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ) : The results letter I received was ambiguous, leaving me uncertain about the outcome of the dispute.

These actions are consistent with the allegations in the recent CFPB lawsuit against Experian ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ). The lawsuit details systemic failures, including ignoring consumer-provided evidence, mischaracterizing disputes, and over-relying on furnishers ' responses without independent verification. These practices violate both the FCRA and the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Experians actions have caused harm to my creditworthiness and financial stability.

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 and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against Navy Federal Credit for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request investigation into my account transactions.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Inadequate Investigation into Credit Reporting Violation of FCRA ( 15 USC 1681 ) To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this complaint regarding Experians investigation into inaccuracies on my credit report. I believe their actions are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681, Section 602 ( a ), which mandates that consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ) act fairly, impartially, and with respect for consumer privacy when fulfilling their responsibilities.

Explanation of the Issue Failure to Conduct a Fair Investigation : Experian failed to investigate disputed information thoroughly, relied solely on automated processes, and did not provide adequate documentation supporting their findings. This lack of due diligence undermines the FCRAs purpose of promoting accuracy and fairness in consumer credit reporting.

Violation of Privacy Obligations : The FCRA requires CRAs to respect the privacy of consumers.

The furnishing financial institution has disclosed late payment information to unauthorized parties or failed to protect such data from unauthorized access.

The furnishing financial institution has not informed me of my right to opt out of sharing my personal information with nonaffiliated third parties. 
Inaccuracies in Credit Reporting : Experians failure to ensure the accuracy and validity of the disputed debts and accounts has caused significant harm. These ongoing reporting errors have resulted in consequences such as denial of credit, higher interest rates, and damage to my personal and financial reputation.

Legal Basis Provisions of the FCRA Violated : 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) : This section states that no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing adverse information ( other than records of convictions of crimes ) that antedates the report by more than seven years. Additionally, a CRA can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

15 USC 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) : This section prohibits a person from furnishing any information relating to a consumer to a CRA if they know or have reasonable cause to believe the information is inaccurate.

Other Privacy Protections Violated : 15 USC 6801 : Requires financial institutions to protect nonpublic personal information and respect customer privacy.

15 USC 6802 ( b ) and ( c ) : Obligate financial institutions to provide clear options for consumers to exercise their nondisclosure rights.

State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally report fraudulent activity on my credit report that has resulted from identity theft and errors by credit reporting agencies. These issues have significantly impacted my ability to obtain employment, housing, and other essential opportunities. 

In XXXX, I became a victim of identity theft when someone used my Social Security number during a traffic stop. This individuals actions resulted in a criminal record being wrongfully attached to my name. In XXXX, I discovered further misuse of my identity, including fraudulent activity related to employment, a bank account, and car insurance that I did not authorize.

The following accounts appearing on my credit report are fraudulent and were not opened, authorized, or used by me : XXXX XXXX : {$670.00} XXXX XXXX  : {$2600.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$75.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$400.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$1100.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$1700.00} XXXX XXXX : {$1000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$2100.00} I have no knowledge of these accounts and have never conducted business with these entities. I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with the credit reporting agencies, including TransUnion, but TransUnion has failed to provide me with adequate information or documentation regarding these fraudulent accounts. Their lack of cooperation has made it difficult to resolve these issues.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate information or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against XXXX, alleging systematic issues such as failing to provide consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where XXXX 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 XXXXXXXX XXXX inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
