Complaint narrative:
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. Couple 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 XXXX you an additional 30 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. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding inaccurate late payments being reported on my account ending in 1861. I have disputed this information with both the credit bureaus and the furnisher, yet the late payments remain on my report without proper validation or documentation.

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ), furnishers are required to report accurate information. Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit bureaus must conduct a reasonable investigation within 30 days. To date, neither party has provided sufficient evidence to justify the continued negative reporting. I am requesting immediate correction or removal of the inaccurate information.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint due to the continued and unlawful reporting of inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable information on my consumer credit report by Equifax. 
Despite multiple prior disputes and the submission of verified documentationincluding an FTC Identity Theft Reportthis company has failed to conduct a lawful reinvestigation or correct/remove the disputed items in violation of federal law. Violations Involved : - FCRA 1681i failure to properly investigate disputed information within XXXX  days. - FCRA 1681s- 2 ( a ) continued reporting of information known or reasonably known to be inaccurate. - Regulation V ( 12 CFR 1022.43 ) failure by furnisher to comply with direct dispute obligations. This behavior is nearly identical to the misconduct referenced in prior CFPB complaints such as : - CFPB Complaint # XXXX resulted in non-monetary relief and correction of identity theft-related errors. - CFPB Complaint # XXXX resulted in successful removal of unverifiable accounts data following a formal dispute. Consumer Harm and Requested Relief : As a direct result of this companys ongoing violations, I have suffered : - Inaccurate credit reporting affecting creditworthiness and financial opportunities. 
- Emotional distress and unnecessary time and effort to correct this issue. - Denials or unfavorable terms for financial products due to incorrect reporting.

Complaint narrative:
So back in XXXX, I saw on XXXX spotlight about these silly XXXX dollar soul mate sketch from this XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. You see, i just paid for the sketch and then i watched a reading and cashapp flagged them as a sketchy business and already denied them from taking my money. So i called them out. 

Well, XXXX decided to delete my account in retaliation and took my debit card information and started trying to charge me XXXX dollars and its random. I blocked the merchant, contacted cashapp ( because that how I paid ) and then they told me to get a new card. So I did. I purchased a new card, but it got trashed by my mom. 

So then i had to report my card getting stolen to get a free one. I get a temporary card and somehow, XXXX XXXX got my temporary card information and charged me tonight at XXXX and they have a whole knew XXXX account too. They didnt get any money. 

I blocked the merchant and contacted support and the the lady named XXXX was just no help. She was basically just saying " too bad, contact them. '' And I did. I have email proof that I told them to get rid of my information. 

I go on my security on cashapp to see somehow during the time I called XXXX out and now, my account got secretly compromised and i never knew. So i logged out a lot of devices and now XXXX struggling to change my password because cashapp is saying my number doesnt even exist when it does. I'm scared right now and they are not helping me Cashapp isnt helping me.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Goldman Sachs and Apple Card due to the improper resolution of a charge dispute. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to purchase XXXX XXXX tickets for {$350.00} each. Both transactions were declined, and no tickets were issued, which forced me to make a new purchase later on. I ultimately bought the tickets successfully through XXXX, with a confirmed charge of {$710.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I provided evidence of this, including the actual issued and used tickets and the successful transaction record. Despite this, my dispute was denied without any clear explanation or supporting documentation justifying the {$350.00} charge, which clearly relates to a failed transaction. 

I am requesting the CFPB to review this case, as I was charged for a service that was never received and tied to a declined transaction. 

Amount disputed : {$350.00} Transaction date : XX/XX/XXXX Issuer name : Goldman Sachs Bank USA ( Apple Card )

Complaint narrative:
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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
