Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the following negative items on my credit report : Employers : MAPLE TREE INN These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX IA XXXX RE : Billing Error Dispute Under 15 U.S.C. 1666b - Payment Method Disruption Due to Data Breach To Whom It May Concern : I am filing this complaint under 15 U.S.C. 1666b regarding a late payment reported on my account ( # [ XXXX ] ) that occurred solely due to the suspension and replacement of my payment card following the FTC data breach. 

Account Information : - Creditor Account Number : [ XXXX ] or loan number XXXX - Type : Secured Installment Loan - Original Opening Date : XX/XX/year> Basis for Complaint : 1. I was a victim of the FTC data breach, which led my bank to identify suspicious activity on my account 2. As a security measure, my bank temporarily closed the account and payment card used for automatic payments on this loan 3. During the card replacement period, a scheduled payment was missed 4. This single missed payment was not due to any fault of mine but was a direct result of necessary security measures taken to protect my compromised account 5. My payment history before this incident shows consistent on-time payments, as evidenced by the continuous " OK '' status in my credit report Prior Resolution Attempts : 1. I have contacted the creditor to explain the circumstances 2. I provided evidence of the bank account closure and new card issuance 3. I attempted to resolve this matter directly before filing this complaint 4. The creditor has failed to consider these extenuating circumstances Impact on Credit Profile : 1. This single late payment is now severely impacting my credit profile 2. The negative reporting is disproportionate to the circumstances 3. The late payment notation fails to reflect that this was due to security measures beyond my control Legal Basis Under 15 U.S.C. 1666b : The creditor has failed to : - Properly investigate and resolve the billing error - Consider the extenuating circumstances of the data breach - Appropriately adjust their response given the security-driven nature of the payment disruption Requested Resolution : 1. Remove the late payment notation from my credit report 2. Adjust any late fees assessed during this period 3. Recognize this as a billing error under 15 U.S.C. 1666b rather than a standard late payment 4. Update reporting to all credit bureaus to reflect proper resolution

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic 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, when 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 Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America spontaneously closed two of my credit card accounts in XX/XX/year> without reason. I had to wait several weeks to receive paper mail as to the reason why. I tried to dispute it but to no avail. I had earned cash back rewards on both cards ( {$360.00} on one card, {$24.00} on the other ) that I have tried to recoup from Bank of America. However, they refused to give this credit to me on the basis of closing my accounts- again, something I did not want or request. I am reaching out to CFPB to help me recoup my cash back rewards that I had earned. Thank you.
