Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The consumer financial protection bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of disputed information outcome. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as XXXX inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I am filling a complaint against CashApp XXXX Block , Inc . ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected. Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I made a purchase through a vendor online using my capital one card. 

2 purchases - 1 for {$150.00} 1 for {$45.00} The purchases were for autographs from former major league baseball players in which I had to send my own item.

There should have been 5 total signed items received.

During the dispute, the vendor confirmed that he had only sent 1 item and that he owes me the remaining money. The 1 item sent was also damaged as to his own admission in the attached files below. The other items STILL SAY UNFULFILLED ON THE VENDORS WEBSITE. 

CAPITAL ONE STILL SIDED WITH THE VENDOR ON THE CLAIM. I mean, how negligent can you be? You are literally told that 1 part of 1 of 2 orders is fulfilled. It's asinine to me that your judgment would then be that I'm responsible for the charge and not the vendor. 

I will make sure I post this on all of my socials and tell every person I know what a sham Capital One is and how little they care about their customers. The whole situation has been nothing but aggravating and this was an easily fixable issue. 

Thank you,

Company: EdFinancial Services
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request to Cease Reporting of Unauthorized Information on Credit Report Dear EdFinancial Services, I am writing to formally request the immediate cessation of reporting EdFinancial loan information on my credit report. This request is made pursuant to the rights granted under federal law, specifically 15 U.S.C. 6802 and 15 U.S.C. 1681a, which govern consumer privacy and the authorization of reporting information to consumer reporting agencies.

Under 15 U.S.C. 6802, financial institutions are required to provide notice to consumers and obtain their explicit consent before sharing their nonpublic personal information with third parties. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681a, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) explicitly defines and limits the circumstances under which information may be furnished to consumer reporting agencies. These statutes underscore my right to control and authorize what information is reported on my credit profile. 

I have never provided EdFinancial Services with authorization to report any loan or related information on my credit report. Absent my explicit authorization, the continued reporting of this information constitutes a violation of the above-referenced statutes. Furthermore, case law has affirmed the necessity of explicit consumer consent in similar matters, such as in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ), which emphasized adherence to the strict provisions of the FCRA. 

I kindly request that you : Immediately cease reporting any information related to EdFinancial loans to credit reporting agencies. 

Notify all credit reporting agencies to whom you have reported such information that it must be removed. 

Provide written confirmation that this request has been fulfilled within 30 days of receipt of this letter. 

Failure to comply with this request will leave me no choice but to escalate the matter by filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and pursuing further legal action to enforce my rights under federal law. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving your confirmation of compliance. Please direct all correspondence regarding this matter to the address listed above. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I mailed out a dispute to this credit bureau because they have multiple accounts listed on my credit report as collections when they have been PAID IN FULL. I requested that they validate these accounts and update them to CLOSED/PAID IN FULL or delete them from my credit report. I specifically asked for a copy of the contract bearing my signature for the accounts in dispute and a complete account reconciliation regarding each account that they are reporting inaccurately. Not only did they fail to provide me with this information, they failed to investigate entirely. It was a complete disregard for my rights under the fair credit reporting act. This bureau didn't move forward with my dispute in anyway and this is seriously hurting my ability to obtain credit, purchase a home and so much more.
