Complaint narrative:
Payment Reporting Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) for their inconsistent and unresolved reporting of a late payment on my credit history, which I believe is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

In a response to my dispute, XXXX XXXX, Director of Compliance at XXXX, asserted that my loan was reported 30 days late in XX/XX/XXXX. However, this reporting is inconsistent across the three major credit bureaus : XXXX reports a 30-day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX, TransUnion reports a 30-day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX reports a 60-day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX. This discrepancy between XXXX 's statement and the credit bureau reports raises serious concerns about the accuracy and validity of their reporting. 

Despite my efforts to rectify this issue, including direct communication with XXXX and the credit bureaus, the erroneous reporting remains uncorrected, adversely affecting my credit score and potential financial opportunities. 

Enclosed are my payment records, the response from XXXX, and credit reports from XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX, evidencing the discrepancies and my attempts at rectification. 

I respectfully request the CFPB 's intervention to investigate this matter thoroughly. I seek the correction of my credit records to accurately reflect my payment history and any other appropriate remedial actions. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and a resolution to this ongoing issue.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to file a claim against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, managed by XXXX, concerning hidden application fees that were not initially communicated to me. 
In XX/XX/2023, I viewed a property at the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX and considered moving in. However, I decided against it and chose a different apartment complex instead. Despite this decision, nearly a year later, I was unexpectedly notified by CDR Genesis of an unresolved balance of {$650.00} by XXXX XXXX, even though I never moved in. 

This charge was never clearly communicated to me either during or after my initial application process. Furthermore, upon receiving this late notice, the balance had already been forwarded to credit agency prompting me to settle the amount promptly to avoid any negative impact on my credit score. 

I have since discovered through online reviews and testimonials that this practice of charging hidden fees is a recurring issue with XXXX XXXX. Despite numerous attempts to contact them for clarification and resolution, they have been unresponsive to phone calls and emails. 

Given these circumstances, I believe that the charge is unjustified and was levied without proper disclosure or transparency. At this point, my bank has reversed the payment in my favor ; however, Genesis Credit Agency is now back on my case threatening me to pay the balance or my credit score will be impacted. I am also accruing interest at 7 % for each month that passes until this gets resolved. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and am happy to provide any further information or documentation as needed. Thank you for your assistance in resolving this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Urgent Demand for Investigation and Resolution of Fraudulent Accounts and Inaccurate Credit Reporting To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to you as a victim of identity theft and a distressed consumer who has encountered significant barriers due to the negligence and noncompliance of your organization with federal consumer protection laws. Despite my diligent efforts and the clear provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 605B, the fraudulent accounts opened in my name have not been addressed appropriately, causing substantial harm, including the inability to secure housing for my XXXX  daughter and me. 
As previously communicated in my letters sent to your company dated XX/XX/2022, accompanied by a comprehensive identity theft report, a detailed list of the fraudulent accounts, and a signed affidavit, these accounts were opened without my authorization. The documentation provided should have sufficed to initiate an immediate investigation and removal of these erroneous entries from my credit reports as mandated by the FCRA. 
However, it has been nearly a year since my initial report, and the lack of action from your side is not only disappointing but also in direct violation of consumer protection statutes. The persistent inaccuracy in my credit reports has unjustly tarnished my financial reputation, causing undue XXXX, barriers to essential services such as housing, and jeopardizing the well-being of my family

This is the refilling of my complaint to TRANSUNION. I accept that my data is being abused and detailed as wrong. In my credit report I discovered some slanderous things that I didn't know about. I found late payments which never occurred and accounts with mistaken data, like payment history, status, balances, and date of last activity. As per 15 U.S.C. Area 602 and 15 U.S.C. Segment 604 A Part 2, I have the right to protection and a buyer revealing office can't outfit a record without my written instructions. I have attached the FTC report to support my complaint with the FTC report number XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ). 

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion.

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors.

In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. 

I am also placing a FTC reference number- # XXXX so that you can verify the inaccuracy of fraud that is placed on my credit report. 

Now based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation. 

Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX put my XXXX XXXX  account into collections. They put it into collections because XXXX XXXX was in a company corporate name that wasn't personally guaranteed. This account never belonged on my credit in the first place. They took my consumer information and placed it on my credit report and that's not what should have happened. 16 CFR 313.7 15 usc 6802 Per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer I am now opting out of any and all authorizations I the consumer may have given you written, unwritten, verbally and non verbally per 15 USC 6802 it is effective immediately and indefinitely. Since the debt is now with a third-party collection agency, it has already been charged off. As outlined in Tax Topic 431, this represents a certificate of indebtedness, which is categorized as income. It's important to note that income is not reportable on my credit report. " If your debt is forgiven or discharged for less than the full amount owed, the debt is considered canceled for the forgiven or discharged amount that you no longer need to pay. Cancellation of a debt may occur if the creditor can't collect, or gives up on collecting, the amount you're obligated to pay. If you own property securing a debt, cancellation of the debt may occur due to foreclosure, repossession, voluntary transfer of the property to the lender, abandonment of the property, or a mortgage modification.
