Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because a collection agency has reported a debt under my name and failed to provide proper validation after I submitted a written request. I have reason to believe the debt is inaccurate and possibly related to identity theft.

I contacted the collection agencies and Trans Union in writing and requested validation of the debt under my rights granted by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). I specifically asked for an investigation and documentation showing the origin of the debt, a copy of any contract or agreement bearing my signature, and an itemized breakdown of the charges. I also requested the name and address of the original creditor.

Despite my request, the collection agency nor did Trans Union provide sufficient or legitimate validation and continued to report the account to the credit bureaus. This is a violation of both the FDCPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i.

The agencys failure to validate the debt has harmed my credit and caused emotional and financial stress. I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and that the collection agency be required to either properly validate the debt or delete the account from my credit reports.

Complaint narrative:
Ive recently discovered several late payment notations on my credit report that are completely false, and I want to make it clear that I will not tolerate these inaccuracies being used to misjudge my financial character. These harmful entries are dragging down my credit score, affecting my access to opportunities, and putting unnecessary strain on my mental and emotional health. Some of these alleged late payments were in fact made on time, while others may stem from clerical mistakes or internal processing delays that were never communicated to me. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that every piece of data on a consumer report be factually accurate and verifiable by original documentation. That means if these late payment entries can not be backed up with real, dated billing statements or signed agreements, they should not be reported at all. I am demanding that these entries be immediately corrected or removed, depending on what the documentation proves. If the credit reporting agencies or furnishers continue to ignore this matter, I will interpret that as a willful and deliberate violation of federal lawand respond accordingly. I deserve better, and I will fight until this is made right.

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. 

Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! 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. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a formal identity theft dispute with supporting documentation including an FTC Identity Theft Report naming XXXX XXXX  as a fraudulent account. XXXX and their XXXX ( XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX ) failed to provide any valid verification such as a signed contract, chain of assignment, or proof they lawfully own this debt. Instead, they responded with generic documentation and a demand for another FTC report. 

Additionally, the original creditor Citibank recorded the account under the incorrect name XXXX XXXX, not my legal name XXXX XXXX, indicating a likely identity mismatch. XXXX is continuing to pursue a debt that has not been validated per the FDCPA and must be removed from all records. I already have an open XXXX  case where this was acknowledged, and the CFPB has closed this complaint in error despite my documentation. This account is fraudulent, and continued collections are illegal.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter stating that a XXXX credit card, issued by Synchrony Bank had a {$3000.00} balance on it in my name and was now past due. I had never heard of Synchrony Bank, never received a card and had no information about this card in my XXXX XXXX XXXX, so immediately contacted their fraud department to let them know this was a fraudulent opening and use of the account. 

I spoke with a fraud rep at that time who said they would close the account and do an investigation. I received a letter confirming their {$0.00} fraud liability policy and the steps they were taking on XX/XX/XXXX. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I once again started receiving past due requests for payment from Synchrony about this card. I called again, stating that it had already been closed due to fraud and I had never received a judgement from them. At that point they told me the account had been reopened because the fraud team hadn't found any signs of fraud and rejected my claim. This is preposterous. 

I asked them to appeal this and reopen the fraud investigation. 

Now, in XX/XX/XXXX, I am once again receiving requests for payment as they have apparently rejected my statement that these charges are fraudulent. 

This is hammering my XXXX XXXX and must stop.

Complaint narrative:
Im beyond frustrated with the continued presence of false, damaging information on my TransUnion credit report. These aren't minor oversights or accidental typosthey are substantial and harmful misrepresentations that continue to sabotage my financial progress and personal stability. Ive gone through the formal dispute process in good faith, hoping the issues would be corrected responsibly, only to be met with silence and negligence. The failure to properly investigate and resolve these errors has left me feeling ignored, disrespected, and financially punished for mistakes I did not make. 

As a consumer, I have a legal right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to a credit file that is completely accurate and substantiated by real, verifiable documentation. It is not my job to chase down proofIve done my part. If TransUnion can not produce direct and unquestionable evidence to support the continued reporting of these entries, then it is obligated by federal law to delete them immediately. This isnt a requestits a demand for compliance. If you continue to ignore my concerns, I will treat this as a willful violation of my rights and take further action to hold you accountable. My creditworthiness is not something I take lightly, and you should not either.

Complaint narrative:
Despite repeated attempts to resolve these matters, Experian continues to allow damaging inaccuracies to persist on my credit profile. These unresolved errors are more than just frustratingthey are unjust, and they are actively interfering with my ability to move forward financially. Every time I apply for a loan, a credit card, or any financial opportunity, these incorrect entries stand as barriers that I shouldnt have to face. It is unacceptable that after multiple disputes, you still havent taken the appropriate steps to ensure your data is correct. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you are legally required to verify every single reported item with original, legitimate documentation. If you can not confirm the accuracy of these records with credible, dated evidence, then these entries have no place on my report and must be removed immediately. I am demanding that you conduct a thorough reinvestigationnot a generic response, not a rubber-stamped review, but a meaningful audit backed by proper documentation. Continued delays and inaction will be treated as a deliberate and unlawful disregard of your obligations under federal law. Ive been more than patient, but my patience has run out.
