Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a complaint regarding an unauthorized hard inquiry by Citibank N.A. on my XXXX credit report dated XX/XX/year>. 

I did not authorize this inquiry, did not apply for credit with this company, and did not provide written or verbal consent for Citibank to access my credit file. Under FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), a creditor must have a permissible purpose supported by written authorization, which has never been provided to me. 

I previously disputed this inquiry with the credit bureaus, but they refused to remove it and did not provide any proof of my authorization. Citibank has never provided a copy of a signed document or any evidence that I requested credit. 

I am requesting that Citibank either : XXXX. Provide a copy of my signed authorization permitting this inquiry, XXXX XXXX. Remove the inquiry from all credit bureaus if no such authorization exists. 

Please instruct the credit bureaus to delete this inquiry if Citibank can not prove permissible purpose.

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 XXXX 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. XXXX 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 XXXX 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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I reviewed my credit report and found a negative account being reported by the furnisher that is inaccurate and not supported by any evidence. I submitted a dispute to the credit bureau, explaining that the account information is incomplete and does not match my records. Instead of conducting a meaningful investigation, the bureau sent back a generic response stating the account was verified, yet no documents, contracts, payment history, or original proof of the debt were ever provided to me. The repeated verification without supplying real evidence indicates that the bureau relied solely on automated systems instead of performing the reasonable reinvestigation required by law. This has resulted in ongoing damage to my credit score and has affected my ability to obtain credit.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment to be updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Update the late payments from my consumer reports
