Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Against XXXX and XXXX for FCRA Violations Regarding Inaccurate Bankruptcy Reporting To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this formal complaint against XXXX and XXXX due to their continued failure to accurately investigate and respond to my disputes concerning a bankruptcy incorrectly attributed to me on my credit reports. 

Over the past few months, I have submitted multiple dispute requests to both XXXX and XXXX, challenging the accuracy of a bankruptcy record that they are reporting to the credit bureaus. This bankruptcy is not mine, and I have repeatedly requested that they provide substantiating documentation to validate their claims. To date, I have not received any such documentation, nor have they taken any corrective action to remove the inaccurate information from my credit report. 

Moreover, my disputes with the credit bureaus regarding this erroneous bankruptcy have been consistently verified as accurate, solely based on information provided by XXXX and XXXX. This ongoing failure to investigate my disputes and the continued reporting of incorrect information constitutes a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

As a result of their non-compliance and disregard for their obligations under the FCRA, I am now left with no choice but to consider legal action to compel XXXX and XXXX to properly address and resolve these inaccuracies. I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) intervene in this matter to ensure that my disputes are thoroughly investigated and that the erroneous bankruptcy is removed from my credit reports. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 reported in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) to be removed.

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.

EXPERIAN 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!

To my shock, I found inaccurate accounts on my credit report this morning, and I have no idea how they got there. I checked my credit report as usual, but this time, unexpected discrepancies appeared. I tried refreshing the page, thinking it might just be a browser issue, but the inaccuracies remained. These incorrect accounts didn't disappear even after refreshing. Given this disturbing issue, I'm asking for a thorough review of the documents I've provided so I can stop worrying about this.

Company: OneMain Finance Corporation
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a loan in XXXX. I was given the loan and I was told that in order to get the money I had to get the insurances on the loan. Nobody ever explained that they were optional and I ended up finding out recently. I called them and asked for a refund because I only got it based off being told I had to. They said theyd investigate and get back to me in a few days. After a week and several unsuccessful calls to them I finally got a answer. I was told that my call was not recorded and that they couldnt give me the refund. I told them that every time Ive ever called Ive been told it was recorded. She said she did not find one and that it would be up to the legal team as to if I could listen to it if one was ever found. She said she would continue to look and let me know on this upcoming Thursday but that if she didnt find anything they would not refund me anything. She said a team came through and looked through all the folders and told them who to payout. I asked her how that team would know if I was a victim of this without the call this all happened on. I have never stepped foot in a one main financial branch everything I was told was via that phone call, I signed my documents from my phone and do not recall them being explained thoroughly to me or being told there were ones that were not mandatory.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
