Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This letter is a formal notice of dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurately reported late payment dates on the above-referenced account appearing in my credit file. 
The reported derogatory payment data is factually and legally incorrect and constitutes a violation of my rights under multiple federal statutes. 
Creditor Name : [ XXXX XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ ] FCRA SECTION 602 RIGHT TO PRIVACY ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) Under the FCRA, I have a right to privacy in the handling and dissemination of my credit information. The credit bureau is not permitted to report data that is inaccurate, unverifiable, or misleading, especially when such reporting creates a false impression of delinquency. 
FCRA SECTION 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) NO WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION GIVEN ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from furnishing account information without the consumers written instructions. I have never given written authorization for the dissemination of false or misleading late payment information. 
TILA SECTION 1666b IMPROPER LATE PAYMENT DESIGNATION ( 15 U.S.C. 1666b ) According to the Truth in Lending Act, a creditor may not treat a payment on an open-end credit account as late for any purpose if received by the due date or within the grace period.

Reporting a late payment that was not legally late is a blatant violation of this federal protection and exposes both the data furnisher and the credit reporting agency to liability under 15 U.S.C.

1681i.

Complaint narrative:
Company : Bank of America , N.A . 
Product : Business Credit Card / Business Checking Business Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Business Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX Checking Account Number : XXXX Authorized Signer : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Opened : XX/XX/XXXX WHAT HAPPENED In XX/XX/XXXX, my Bank of America XXXX XXXX account shows a {$2000.00} debit labeled as secured credit card collateral. In XX/XX/XXXX, that same {$2000.00} was refunded back into my checking account. These XXXX transactions appear on my bank statements. 

I did receive and use a secured business credit card tied to the original {$2000.00} deposit. 

However, there is no record anywhere in more than XXXX years of statements ( XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX ) showing any second {$2000.00} secured deposit, collateral hold, or refund. 

At the time, after I had not received the card for an extended period, a Bank of America employee told me there had been a system glitch and that I could either wait or make another {$2000.00} deposit. I believed I deposited another {$2000.00} in cash at a branch. I no longer have the deposit slip. 

This creates an unresolved contradiction : The only documented secured deposit was refunded, Yet the secured credit card remained active, And no second secured deposit appears anywhere in the records. 

WHAT I BELIEVE IS WRONG XXXX of the following must have occurred : The collateral refund was issued in error while the system still treated the card as secured A second {$2000.00} cash collateral deposit was accepted but never properly posted The card was not truly secured after the refund despite being represented as secured Each scenario represents a serious failure in custodial fund safeguards and internal accounting controls.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Multiple companies have pulled my credit report without my authorization or consent. I did not apply with these companies, nor did I grant them permission to access my personal information. I already contacted Experian, and a representative assured me these inquiries would be removed, yet they are still appearing on my credit report. These fraudulent and unauthorized inquiries are causing me serious anxiety and making me worry that I may already be a victim of identity theft. On top of harming my credit score, this situation is adding unnecessary stress to my life.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern. This letter serves as a formal request for the immediate deletion of fraudulent information appearing on my credit report, in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
Despite multiple disputes and the evidence I have previously submitted, this account continues to be reported, which constitutes a violation of federal law. 
Enclosed you will find a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the Federal Trade Commission, FTC Report Number : XXXX. 
As required under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, once an identity theft report is provided, a credit reporting agency must block the disputed information within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. You have failed to meet this obligation. 
The account that must be immediately removed is : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This account does not belong to me and is the direct result of identity theft. Other credit bureaus have already deleted it after being unable to verify its legitimacy. The furnisher has failed to produce any signed agreement or verifiable documentation for over XXXX days, confirming that this account can not be validated. 
However, EXPERIAN continues to report it, knowingly allowing inaccurate and harmful information to remain on my file. 
Your failure to remove this fraudulent account has caused ongoing financial and personal harm, including credit denials and the inability to move forward with essential financial goals such as home ownership. 
This situation is both unacceptable and unlawful. 
I am demanding that you immediately block and delete this fraudulent account from my credit report. 
If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will proceed with filing additional complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and the Office of the Attorney General for your continued noncompliance with federal law.

Company: Aldridge PIte Haan, LLP

Complaint narrative:
I called a firm about a charged off credit card debt and making payments. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was granted a consent judgement for less than the total and agreed to make payments. The payments were auto-drafted from my checking account starting XX/XX/XXXX, but the consent judgement was never filed and I received a court summons for the full amount even though I paid as promised. I've called the law firm everyday, and no one will return my calls and no one can tell me where my now {$600.00} is going. This is wire theft, as well as abhorrently unfair collections practice.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

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.
