Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the XXXX major credit bureausXXXX, Equifax, and XXXX ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with XXXX XXXX Format and XXXX industry standards. 

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ). 

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated XXXX system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court. 

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information XXXX XXXX and XXXX  Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of XXXXXXXX has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency XXXX not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself. '' XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) These harms are measurable, preventable, and attributable to willful negligence and disregard of consumer protection law. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number XXXX Balance : {$5600.00} Open Date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number XXXX Balance {$0.00} Date opened XX/XX/XXXX Relief Requested : I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take appropriate supervisory or enforcement action and require XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX to : Immediately delete all negative items previously disputed that can not be verified with complete documentation Cease reporting unverifiable data and require original source validation for all disputes Re-review investigation procedures and prohibit reliance solely on XXXX as a substitute for human reinvestigation Certify in writing that corrective actions have been taken and notify all furnishers and third-party users of the updated information

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Ok on XX/XX/year> I made an ach instant deposit on XXXX  app. I was redirected to XXXX 's website where I entered my account and routing number for my Chime account. After recieveing a confirmation email I noticed in the Chime app there was a pending charge for {$150.00}. It showed as a pending charge until XX/XX/year>. XXXX issued a credit since ach transfers take a couple of days to finalize. After contacting kraken support I learned I couldnt withdraw the XXXX I bought because theres a 7 day hold on all instant deposits because of the finalization process. I was told by XXXX  support that I could withdraw the funds on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX tried to close the transaction but recieved a code XXXX insufficient funds from Chime because I didnt have any money in my account at the time. I know crypto exchanges love force posting on preauthorization holds so if you dont have the same amount in your account as its shown on the pending charge then it kicks back the insufficient funds code even though the money is at the time being held already. So I contact XXXX and they said there was a charge back from my bank and I said we'll I havent recieved the money back in my account so I thought they were full of XXXX. I started calling chime as soon as the charge fell off and at first I was told there was a charge on the ledger with no merchant name only a comma for the same amount on the same day it just didn't have a merchants name. I was informed yesterday that said transaction had expired on XX/XX/XXXX, but the money wasnt returned to my account still. After several and I mean SEVERAL hours on the phone with chime support I got tired of arguing and contacted XXXX support. After a few more weeks I finally got a response from XXXX support and I was sent XXXX ach trace numbers from where the money was sent to XXXX and when the money was sent back to chime. XXXX not XXXX money its my money and the fact that ive spent so long literally months of wasted time being lied to by their support agents is ridiculous. Now when I call chime support as soon as I give them the return trace number I get told that they cant see a charge from that day or the money 's already been returned which i know exactly how much money I have at all times because XXXX not rich by any means so I keep an eye on my transactions. Not only is XXXX support garbage but to waste someone's time like they have mine is just XXXX XXXX. Ive since changed my VA XXXX direct deposit and I swear on everything I love I will never send somebody to chime. Honestly im done with XXXX bankers taking my money when its not theirs to take.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

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.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX  EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 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 XXXX days before the payment due date. XXXX 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 XXXX days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX 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.

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. 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 grant 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.

Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I requested in writing to pay the debt owed in full. Before receiving a response in the mail, I called IC SYSTEM to follow up on my letter. During this call a payment was made to pay my debt in full. However, I received a letter from IC SYSTEM later that week informing me that my debt could not be verified and was thus going to be settled and removed from my credit report. The letter was dated as sent prior to the call in question. During my call with IC SYSTEM, It was not disclosed to me that they had determined my debt to be unverifiable. It is illegal to collect on a debt that can not be verified, but they collected payment for the debt from me anyways. I have copies of all of our written correspondence clearly demonstrating mishandling of my account.
