Complaint narrative:
I checked my credit report and there were 3 separate negligent accounts posted by J.P. Morgan that were not mine. A collection agency contacted me and told me the only way to remove it from my report was to pay it. I told them that I could not afford to pay it and they offered settlement options to me and I paid the accounts in settlement and they still were not removed. At this time I had no idea that the consumer financial protection bureau existed if I had known I would have contacted you before paying anything.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of a fraudulent credit inquiry from my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified an inquiry that was not authorized by me and appears to be the result of fraudulent activity. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Specifically, Section 604 ( a ), a credit inquiry can only be made with my explicit consent or as part of a transaction or application that I initiated. Since this inquiry does not meet these criteria, it is clear that it was made without my authorization and is therefore fraudulent.

- CFPB enforcement actions support similar resultsmost recently, a $ XXXX settlement following procedural failures.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2025, I received a text message from a number with my local area code, appearing to be from Wells Fargo. It stated, Wells Fargo Bank : Did You attempt a new device sign in on online mobile banking app ( XX/XX/2025 ), in XXXX, Florida? Reply ( YES ) OR ( NO ). Trusting this as a legitimate security alert, I replied NO. The response read, Thank you for confirming. No further action is required. A specialist will reach out to you soon via phone call. 

Soon after, I received a call from an individual claiming to be a Wells Fargo employee. The caller was professional, confirmed my phone number, and referenced the XXXX login attempt, consistent with the text. They sent a verification code from a five-digit number, which I recognized from prior Wells Fargo communications XXXX further convincing me of their legitimacy. They claimed my account was at risk due to fraudulent activity and instructed me to take immediate steps to protect my funds, including changing my online banking credentials. 

Under their guidance, and believing I was safeguarding my account, I followed instructions that unknowingly led to a transfer of {$6900.00} to my own XXXX XXXX account controlled by the scammer. I was unaware that the recipient was not affiliated with Wells Fargo, as the callers tacticsspoofed contact information, professional tone, and use of familiar verification processesmade me believe I was interacting with the bank. The call ended abruptly, and I realized I had been scammed when the funds disappeared from my bank account and XXXX XXXX account. The last track I have of the funds is from my XXXX XXXX account to an unknown debit card account. I immediately reported the incident to Wells Fargo and cooperated fully with your investigation. 

Wells Fargo 's Fraud Department denied my claim made on XX/XX/2025 based on the transfer appearing to originate from my account. I then went into the Wells Fargo XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CA XXXX, to explain my claim was denied and I did not authorize the transaction. The claim was denied again on XX/XX/2025. I was manipulated by a fraudster impersonating Wells Fargo, and the transaction was not authorized. Under Regulation E, unauthorized electronic transfers, including those induced by fraud, qualify for reimbursement. I acted in good faith to protect my account based on deceptive instructions, and {$6900.00} fraduently taken from my account has affected my ability to live day to day or pay my bills, considering that was all of my money. Please contact me at XXXX or XXXX for any additional information.

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.
