Consumer complaint received 2025-08-27 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MO

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.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because my credit report contains inaccurate personal information that does not belong to me. Specifically, the report includes : [ List the incorrect information, e.g., wrong name, address, date of birth, or Social Security number. ] I have already contacted the credit reporting agency and provided proper documentation to support my identity, including [ list what you sent, such as a copy of my government-issued ID and a utility bill ], but the information has not been corrected.

I am requesting the CFPB to review this matter and assist in ensuring that the credit bureau takes appropriate action to correct the personal information in my credit file.

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit.

Company: Klarna AB

Complaint narrative:
I placed an order with XXXX through Klarna on XX/XX/year> for several jewelry items. Upon receiving the order, the watch was damaged, so I returned the items The merchant received the return on XX/XX/year>, as confirmed by tracking. 

I submitted all required documentation to Klarna, including photos of the damaged items, the order confirmation, and the return tracking information. Despite this, Klarna continued to charge my account and refused to pause payments for the returned items. I contacted Klarna multiple times via live chat and email, explaining the situation and requesting that payments be paused and a refund issued. Klarna acknowledged my proof of return but repeatedly stated they could not act without confirmation from the merchant. 

The merchant has not responded to my communications, and I have provided Klarna with evidence showing the items were returned and received. Klarna has escalated the matter internally but still refuses to pause my payments or issue a refund. 

I am submitting this complaint because Klarna is charging me for items I no longer possess, despite having fulfilled all obligations as a customer and providing clear evidence. I want Klarna to pause the payments immediately and refund the charges associated with this returned order.

I did not authorize any of these transactions and filed a dispute with cash app. In less than 24 hours I received notices that my disputes were denied. Ive reached out to cash app support multiple times and cant get an answer as to why they would decline suspicious transactions on XX/XX/2025, but not on XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/2025. I have significant history with cash app, and have never sent payments this large before. Also, there is no transaction history between me and the people who fraudulently received my money. These transactions should have never been completed, and my disputes should not have been denied.
