Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Formal Rebuttal and Demand for Validation This correspondence serves as a formal rebuttal and demand for validation regarding the above-referenced XXXX account, which is reported as a charge-off. XXXX contradictory communications, continued reporting across all major credit bureaus, and concealment of IRS-related events constitute multiple violations of federal law, IRS reporting requirements, and equitable trust principles. 

1. Contradictory Creditor Statements Letter from XXXX, DE ( XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX : States XXXX has not abandoned collection and balance is valid. 
Letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX, UT ( XX/XX/XXXX ) : States account is too old to sue ( time-barred ). 

These contradictions prove the account is unverifiable under FCRA 611 and constitute false representations under FDCPA 807 ( 2 ) ( A ). 

2. Illegal Re-Aging Across All CRAs This account is still showing on Experian, Equifax, and XXXX as an active charge-off with balance due. 
Each bureau reports continuous CO charge-off updates from XXXX through XXXX. 
Once charged off, an account can not legally be re-aged and reported as new each month. 
This violates FCRA 607 ( b ) ( accuracy ), FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( furnisher duty ), and Metro 2 reporting standards.

3. IRS Reporting and Constructive Trust By charging off the account, XXXX secured a tax benefit. 
If the account was sold, securitized, or transferred, XXXX also realized proceeds. 
Under equitable trust principles, those proceeds are tied to my signature/SSN as the original security and can not be concealed while continuing to report the balance under my name. 

I demand all related IRS filings ( 1099-C, 1099-B, 1041 or equivalent ). If no filings exist, XXXX must explain why, despite a charge-off, securitization, or sale, nothing was reported to the IRS. 

4. Pattern of Willful Noncompliance I have already disputed this account with all three CRAs, with XXXX directly, and through the CFPB. 
Reporting has not been corrected and no validation has been produced. 
The continued reporting of contradictory and inaccurate information shows a pattern of willful neglect and noncompliance.

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 4 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. A 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. 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: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint regarding Experians violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 605B and 611, due to their failure to address fraudulent accounts on my credit report despite proper notification and submission of required documentation. On XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX I disputed several fraudulent accounts and provided Experian with all necessary documents, including a valid identity theft affidavit, proof of address, government-issued ID, and evidence linking me to a data breach. However, Experian failed to block the disputed items within the four business days required by 605B and instead verified the accounts without disclosing the sources or evidence of verification, violating 611s mandate for a reasonable reinvestigation and transparency. Their actions contravene established precedent, such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which affirm the rights of consumers to accurate reporting and proper investigation of disputes. This ongoing pattern of non-compliance with statutory obligations and disregard for the CFPBs XXXX bulletin underscores Experians failure to uphold consumer protections under the FCRA.

Company: Chime Financial Inc

Complaint narrative:
I have tried since XX/XX/year> to get a physical CHIME debit card. I have called them six times to try to fix the problem, but all they do is blame me or the USPS for the problem. I have spoken to the USPS and they assure me a card was bever mailed. I called today to receive the same run around with no help. Same answers. The problem is when I told the woman whom with I spoke I wanted to close my account, she hung up. I have been paying things in cash, having subscriptions cancelled for no reason except that they can not mail me a card. I called another credit card company which I use for emergencies, who had a card overnighted to me when my card was lost, that any card which has to do with my money, has a USPS tracking number and to call the company and get the number. I call CHIME again, and they tell me they don't have that number and can not connect me with anyone who does. I am at my wits end, and CHIME says they can not tell me when I can get my money back if the account is closed. I am paying things in and getting fees for doing so. I guess buyer beware, but the cost of using this company far outweighs the convenience.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding my auto loan with Bridgecrest. 

Bridgecrest modified the terms of the loan agreement without obtaining my required signature and consent as the co-signer. As a co-signer, I was legally bound to the original contract, and any modification should have required my knowledge, review, and written authorization. 

I was not informed of the modification, I did not agree to it, and I did not sign any modification paperwork. 

I have contacted Bridgecrest, but they have not provided an explanation, other than, they do not need the co-signers approval to modify the loan.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late. This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance. Please CORRECT this item from my consumer report! According to15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports The Law clearly states : ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I clearly did not give your agency written authorization or written instructions to report this information. Your agency is conspiring with these creditors against me in committing aggravated identity theft and I have sustained defamation of my character, just to name a couple damages should this matter escalate to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures- ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall -- i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed with this furnisher several times, and all they did was re-age, modify/change dates, and update accounts. I requested the method of verification, the chain of custody, original purchase agreement. None of these documents were provided ; all I received was a continuous flow of copies of billing statements, which is not sufficient as debt validation. I believe that this is inaccurate reporting and violates my right to factual and accurate reporting.

This furnisher continues to attempt to collect a debt without providing proper validation, listing an open balance on a closed/charged-off account, date of delinquency, closed, and last payment are all different on all three bureaus .. As per FCRA and FDCPA, several laws have been violated. Rosenenthal Fair Debt /Statutory as per 15USC1681i, a,7, E B, 15USC 1692C C.

I have a right to accurate reporting using proper investigation, not Eoscar.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a credit card with capital one and selected the SavorOne option under the terms that limits would be between XXXX and potentially up to XXXX dollars. My card was automatically assigned to me before knowing the limit and a few days later I recieved the limit of XXXX dollars. My income is XXXX dollars and my rent is only XXXX. I should have been told the credit limit before documents were official like any other credit card business would do. I then requested a credit line increase on three different occasions and was automatically declined all three times. The phone support was as usual unhelpful and difficult to communicate with. They are trained to read script off of a piece of paper instead of use their brains. It is unacceptable that the credit application dinged my credit score and that I should have to close my credit card due to false advertising which will also hurt my score even more. I am requesting resolvement of this situation as Ive already closed the card and this was for some unknown reason, the onmy credit card company that approved me.

Legal Grounds for Information Deletion : Right to Accurate Information ( FCRA, Section 609 - 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) : I request that the authenticity of this account be manually verified with the original creditor, rather than relying on the automated e-OSCAR system, and that I receive a detailed explanation of the verification process.

Compliance with Accuracy Procedures ( FCRA, Section 607 - 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : The inaccuracy in my report suggests a failure to adhere to required accuracy procedures.
