Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On Friday, XX/XX/year> at XXXX PM ( after business hours ), I received an email from American Express stating that unless I made a payment of {$1800.00} by Monday, XX/XX/XXXX, they may reduce my credit limit. I had no previous notice that my account was under review or at risk of reduction. 

I am a longstanding cardholder in good standing, have never missed a payment, and recently used the card up to about {$7000.00} of a {$16000.00} limit. The sudden threat of a credit limit change with no business days to respond and no way to reach decision-makers over the weekend is unreasonable and harmful. 

On XXXX  the XXXX, I was traveling to XXXX for a high-stakes business trip. I was meeting with clients regarding an {$8.00} XXXX commercial real estate acquisition and working on lease agreements for XXXX XXXX of space over a XXXX term. My card was unavailable due to Amexs review, and customer service refused to confirm whether a payment would even preserve my credit line. 

On XXXX  the XXXX, I contacted Amex again still no answers, no assurance, and no clear next steps. Their conduct materially interfered with my business and personal finances. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this practice of : Sending urgent payment notices after hours with unrealistic deadlines; Failing to provide fair warning or support ; Potentially reducing credit limits without cause or adequate due process ; Withholding confirmation that a payment would prevent adverse action ; And failing to disclose credit bureau data used in the decision. 

I request a full explanation of Amexs conduct, restoration of my credit line, confirmation that no adverse marks have been reported to credit agencies, and assurances of compliance with applicable consumer credit regulations.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
concerning a hard inquiry made by Synchrony Financial. I did not authorize this inquiry. At the time it was made, there was an active fraud alert on my credit file, and all of my credit reports were locked. 

I was informed that any credit activity under these conditions would only involve identity verification due to the fraud alert in place. However, this resulted in a hard inquiry, which I did not expect and certainly did not authorize. I am currently in the process of closing on a home, and this unauthorized inquiry could seriously impact the outcome of my mortgage approval. 

I contacted XXXX twice about this issue and received the same generic response each time, stating that a hard inquiry is part of the process when applying for credit. This was despite me providing a written explanation detailing the situation. The uniform nature of their responses leads me to believe that my case XXXX not have been properly reviewed by a human representative. 

This hard inquiry is a clear violation of my rights and was made without my consent. I respectfully request that this matter be thoroughly investigated and that the unauthorized inquiry be removed from my credit report immediately.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding multiple accounts that have been improperly reported by EXPERIAN on my my credit report without providing me the option to dispute the debt, as is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) required by 12 CHR 1006,34 ( D ( 3 ), yet they have proceeded to place these accounts on my consumer report. This omission denies me the opportunity to verify the accuracy of the debt they claim I owe. 2. I have not been afforded the opportunity to dispute the account in accordance with 12 CER 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( 1 ). This denial of the dispute process deprives me of my right to challenge any inaccuracies or discrepancies regarding the alleged debts. 1.EXPERIAN has resorted to false, misleading, and deceptive means in their reporting efforts, thereby violating my consumer rights. Such unethical practices undermine the integrity of the debt collection process and cause undue distress to consumers. 2.Furthermore, the agency lacks the authority to furnish any account to consumer reporting agencies without adhering to the necessary disclosures mandated by law. By neglecting to fulfill their obligations under 12 CER 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S 2 ( 7 ) ( A ). EXPERIAN is flagrantly disregarding consumer protection statutes. I did not receive any notice from the accounts listed on my FTC report. Accounts on my consumer report providing me the opportunity to dispute the validity of this debt within 30 days, as required by law. Additionally, I have attempted to submit supporting documents proving that my information was compromised in the Equifax breach and documents proving that I am a victim of identity theft. This has caused significant harm to my credit score and has resulted in undue financial and emotional stress. I kindly request that the CFPB investigate this matter, as I believe these accounts were reported without following the proper legal procedures. Additionally, I request that EXPERIAN remove these account 's from my credit report and cease all collection efforts immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt resolution of this complaint.

I received an email from Transworld containing confidential financial information about another person who shares my name. I have no connection to this person or to Transworld.

This raises serious privacy concerns : How did Transworld obtain my email address?

Why was sensitive financial data sent without proper verification?

When notified of their error, they only instructed me to delete the email Ive attached the email with sensitive information redacted. I believe this warrants investigation as it may represent a pattern of improper data handling.

Complaint narrative:
I mailed a check to a supplier to pay an invoice XX/XX/XXXX. Check was cashed XX/XX/XXXX. In XXXX I was notified by my supplier of the open invoice. I sent them copies of the front and back of the cashed check. They were looking into it. In XXXX they notified me they never received this check. The check was cashed by XXXX XXXX XXXX, which is their bank but they say it was not deposited into their account. I opened a fraud case with Bank Of America XX/XX/XXXX explaining the problem and giving them the routing # and account # for the supplier 's account at XXXX XXXX. Case # XXXX was opened. XXXX Bank of America numerous times, I have dates and names of people I spoke with. They closed the case saying it was over 60 days so I could not file a claim. It was reopened when I explained that I was not notified of the issue until after 60 days. Then they closed it saying they compared the signatures and it was me who signed the check. I was not disputing that. I want to know who cashed the check. Case was reopened new case # XXXX. A month later they sent me forms to fill out which I immediately did and faxed back. Confirmed receipt, then I got a letter closing the claim because they did not receive the forms. Found out wrong forms were sent to me. This is insane. I now have to fill our forms, get it notarized and sent it back again. I need this resolved. You can never escalate the issue to anyone. No managers are ever around to speak with you. It should not take 4 months to find out where a check was cashed and deposited. The bank has incompetent people working there clearly not paying attention to the details of the claim.
