Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

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.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I became aware of a collection account on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate and improperly reported. Upon discovery, I promptly initiated multiple disputes with the collection agency and credit bureaus to request validation of the debt. Despite these repeated efforts, the collection agency has failed to provide the legally required documentation, such as a detailed account statement, proof of debt ownership, or evidence that the debt is valid and mine. 
Instead of a proper response, I have received vague, non-responsive communications that do not address the issues I raised. The account continues to be listed on my credit report with inaccurate balances, dates, and status information, which is misleading and inconsistent with XXXX XXXX compliance standards. 
This failure to substantiate the debt and correct the reporting after multiple dispute attempts violates my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and other relevant federal statutes. The continued presence of this unverified collection is adversely affecting my creditworthiness and financial well being.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
I received a call on XX/XX/year> at XXXXXXXX XXXX from a number almost identical to Venmos phone number. The caller stated that someone was trying to create a new Venmo account with my phone number and that due to my account being under surveillance for a few days, they recommended that I transfer my balance to my bank account. After getting off the phone, I made a transfer like normal to what I thought was my bank account. After going to my email, I received an email at XXXX pm stating that a new bank account had been added and that a transfer was initiated at XXXXXXXX XXXX. Someone had hacked into my Venmo account and entered in a bank account that was not mine to send the {$760.00} to. I immediately changed my password and called Venmo to put in a dispute. I explained to them what happened and that this bank account was from a hacker and did not belong to me. I explained the timeline and that they should be able to look at the ip address and see that my phone was not the device used to enter in this fraudulent bank account. That bank account was also unverified, yet they still allow money to be transferred out of the account due to lack of security measures. I received an email the next day stating that my dispute was denied due to the transaction being consistent with previous transaction when it can clearly be seen that I have never transferred money to this bank account before and that the bank account was still unverified

Complaint narrative:
These entries are incorrect and do not accurately reflect my actual payment history. I have made multiple attempts to get these discrepancies investigated and corrected, yet no meaningful action has been taken. Despite providing all necessary documentation and following up several times, these errors remain unresolved. This ongoing issue has caused financial stress and has taken a serious toll on my well-being. Dealing with these inaccurate entries has been frustrating and exhausting. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to a credit report that accurately represents my financial history. This includes the prompt correction of outdated or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate action to update or remove these late payment entries, as failing to do so is a direct violation of my rights under federal law. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a resolution as soon as possible.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX : I received a check of {$16000.00} for the sale of audio equipment. The check was deposited at my local XXXX branch. The buyer subsequently cancelled the sale and requested a refund. I advised him that I would process the refund as soon as the bank cleared the check. 

XX/XX/XXXX : The check went from " XXXX '' in my checking account to cleared by XXXX. My account balance increased reflecting the deposit. 

XX/XX/XXXX & XXXX : The refund was processed via wire transfers. 

XX/XX/XXXX : XXXX determined that the " cleared ' check was fraudulent. I was not notified. 

XX/XX/XXXX : I happened to check my account balance and noticed that the account was overdrawn. That is when I discovered that XXXX had bounced the check on XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately contacted the XXXX wire fraud department and initiated a recall of the wire transfers. 
The XXXX  notice I received from XXXX that the check was fraudulent was an email at XXXX pm on XX/XX/XXXX. I had also not been notified that the account was overdrawn. 

XX/XX/XXXX : I reached out to the small bank in Texas where the check originated. I was told that the account had been closed for some time. I asked if there were other fraudulent checks drawn on this account and the lady in the fraud department said, " There probably are ''. 

XX/XX/XXXX : To date the only formal information I have received from XXXX regarding their investigation into the wire transfer recall occurred when I contacted a bank representative on XX/XX/XXXX. They have not provided any further information regarding their investigation. 

Summary : XXXX cleared a check for {$16000.00}, credited the amount to my checking account and a week later determined that is was fraudulent. I received no notification from XXXX that the check was fraudulent until XX/XX/XXXX nearly XXXX weeks later. 
I have no idea what if any efforts they made to recover the wired funds as I have never received any sort of report. It is possible that the funds could have been recovered if I would have been notified and initiated the wire recall sooner. I would never have refunded any money and wired it out of my account unless XXXX had cleared and deposited the funds in my account.
