Complaint narrative:
This creditor has engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices prohibited under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Per 15 U.S. Code 1666b, I did not receive a billing statement at least 21 days before the reported late payment, which qualifies as a billing error. Also, under 15 U.S. Code 1605 ( a ), if a finance charge is assessed, it represents the full cost of creditincluding all feesmeaning a late payment can not lawfully be assessed on an already-paid balance. Penalizing me in this way violates federal law.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding these unauthorized third-party accounts that are currently being reported on my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  I did not apply for or authorize these accounts, nor did I consent to any agreement, extension of credit, or permissible purpose to report these tradelines. 

These companies are not original creditors and have failed to provide a signed contract or chain of assignment proving ownership or authorization to report on my consumer report. This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 604, which restricts access and furnishing of credit information without a legally permissible purpose.

Additionally, per FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers of information must not report inaccurate or unverifiable data. Since no contract, billing history, or debt validation has been produced, this information is considered inaccurate and must be removed. 

I have attached a signed FTC Identity Theft Report affirming these accounts were opened and reported without my consent. I am requesting the immediate deletion of these unauthorized accounts from all credit bureaus. 

Failure to address and resolve this matter may result in further escalation to the FTC and state regulatoryauthorities.

I never authorized a XXXX transaction. I only authorized a direct card payment to what I believed was a legitimate retailer. Ive filed disputes with both Cash App and XXXX, but they continue to pass me back and forth and neither is taking ownership. Cash App refuses to refund me even though I did not knowingly use XXXX and was misled by a fraudulent site.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding the handling of inaccurate information on my credit report by the credit reporting agencies, despite my repeated efforts in dispute these errors. Despite multiple disputes filed with the bureau, they have failed to take appropriate action to update or delete these inaccuracies as required by law. This negligence has persisted despite my lawful right, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I5 U.S.C. 1681, to have my credit report reflect only accurate and verifiable information. The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of information ( 15 U.S.C.le ( b ) ) and conduct a reasonable investigation of disputes raised by consumers ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ). The accounts in question, listed below, contain incorrect information that I have repeatedly disputed : UNAUTHORIZED COLLECTION XXXX XXXX {$4700.00} XX/XX/XXXX REPORTING ON EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX  XXXX {$2500.00} {$2600.00} XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX REPORTING ON EQUIFAX AND XXXX XXXX Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies addressed, the bureaus have not conducted a reasonable investigation or made the required updates, violating my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) and 168li of the FCRA. This disregard for my rights as a consumer is impacting my financial standing, and I am requesting immediate corrective action.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am submitting this formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX for serious and repeated violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) related to an unsecured loan with an original balance of {$220.00}. 

Issues : The account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX, with a 2-month repayment term. The last payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX. 
However, the company reported 16 negative months of late or charged-off payments this is mathematically and legally impossible for a 2-month account. 
They reported the account as charged off in XX/XX/XXXX, while adding continuous negative reporting from early XXXX into XXXX without basis. 
They inflated the remaining balance and marked the account as past due {$210.00}, with no explanation or validation. 
No opportunity to cure, verify, or dispute was ever offered before being charged off. 



Violated Consumer Protection Laws FCRA Violations : 1681e ( b ) Inaccurate reporting of delinquency timeline 1681s-2 ( a ) Furnishing unverifiable or incorrect information 1681s-2 ( b ) Failure to investigate and correct inaccuracies 1681i ( a ) Failure to reinvestigate disputed credit data FDCPA Violations : 1692e ( 2 ) ( A ) False representation of amount and status 1692f ( 1 ) Collection of unauthorized charges or balances 1692g ( b ) Failure to validate the debt when requested

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Im reaching out because theres an account showing up on my credit report that does not belong to me. This account appears to be the result of mixed or merged credit information, and it is very clear that this account is tied to someone elses identitynot mine. 

I want to make this absolutely clear : I have no association whatsoever with the account in question. I did not open it, I have no connection to the person who did, and I should not be held responsible for their financial activity. Somehow, my credit file has been inaccurately combined with another persons information, and this is now negatively impacting my credit profilethrough no fault of my own. 

This is not just a mistake ; its a serious error that violates the accuracy standards required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under the law, you are obligated to ensure that every item reported under my name is 100 % accurate and verifiably connected to me. In this case, that standard is not being met.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am enclosing a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer files a report of identity theft, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as being the product of such theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be frozen : XXXX XXXX  - XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately frozen from my credit report. This freeze must remain in effect for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported.

I have contacted EXPERIAN multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive solution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely impacting me, as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my financial growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm. These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit bureaus, so I don't understand why this agency continues to claim these accounts belong to me.

I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than 60 days, I have not received a response. I respectfully request that you help me by removing these accounts immediately.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a collection account to the credit bureaus that I do not recognize and dispute as inaccurate. I requested validation of this debt, including proof of ownership, the original signed agreement, and a complete payment history, but they failed to provide any sufficient documentation. 

This account is allegedly from Synchrony Bank, but XXXX has not verified the chain of assignment or their legal right to collect. Despite my dispute, XXXX continues to report this account, which is negatively impacting my credit standing. 

This inaccurate reporting is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), as XXXX can not validate the debt. 

I am requesting : Immediate deletion of this account from all credit reporting agencies. 

Written confirmation that XXXX will cease all collection activities. 

XXXX that no further attempts to collect or report unverifiable debts will occur.
