Complaint narrative:
During the last few months, the account XXXX XXXX  XXXX ( XXXX ) has been reported as a charge-off on my credit history, resulting in a significant degradation of my profile. Upon preliminary analysis, I noticed certain errors within the account reporting, such as data discrepancies among the XXXX credit bureaus, including report dates, opening dates, last activity, closure dates, account number, and high balance. According to my inquiries, when an account reports inconsistently among the credit bureaus, it constitutes a violation of my consumer rights. Given this situation, I decided to dispute these errors with the bureaus themselves and the original creditor via mail, but I have not received any notice or response from them. Therefore, I am proceeding with this complaint, outlining my arguments and how I believe this account is being incorrectly reported on my credit history, applying to violations of the following sections of 15 USC : 15 USC 1681e ( b ) : The information provided to consumers is inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete.

15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) : Failure to conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed information.

15 USC 1681 ( a ) : The inaccurate and misleading information contained in the credit report violates the FCRA 's requirement for fair and accurate reporting.

15 USC 1681 ( a ) : The failure to investigate and correct these inaccuracies within a reasonable time frame is a violation of the FCRA.

15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 2 ) : Furnishing information to a consumer reporting agency without the consumer 's written instructions.

15 USC 1681n : failed to provide me with clear and conspicuous notice of my rights under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

I am writing to report a significant issue concerning a recent data breach that has affected my personal information. My details were compromised, and I have discovered that my data has been used without my consent, potentially in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681b.

On XX/XX/XXXX I was informed that my personal information, including [ specific details like Social Security number, account number, etc. ], was exposed due to a data breach at XXXX and XXXX XXXX. Despite taking immediate steps to secure my information, I have found evidence that my data was improperly accessed and used.

I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and assist in ensuring that my rights are protected. Additionally, I seek guidance on any further actions I should take to address this situation and mitigate potential risks to my financial identity. 

Please find attached any relevant documentation, including notices from the affected company and any evidence of unauthorized use of my information.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY

Complaint narrative:
Today XX/XX/year>. 
I went into Wells Fargo ( who I bank with ) and exchanged XXXX {$2.00} bills for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. He said he didnt need to see my wells Fargo card and I received no receipt he just took the XXXX {$2.00} bills and gave me the bad rolls. The bank no longer has their coin machines, so when people come in with change, they give them the paper rolls to fill themselves unsupervised. The bank does not check these rolls and hands them back out to people who come in and ask for any type of coins in rolls. I am still waiting for the bank to respond. XXXX out of my XXXX rolls were short a few coins XXXX coins each. Which means the bank is responsible for not giving me the correct amount that was suppose to be there. Im not sure how you can trust someone off the streets to fill these rolls with whatever they want. These rolls arent from loomis or any other professional coin company. You can get these paper rolls at the dollar store. The rolls look sketchy and very unprofessional
