Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: CBC Companies, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally follow up on a written inquiry I submitted to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ago regarding serious concerns about the unauthorized access and potential misuse of my student loan data. My letter, which requested a full audit and investigation into whether my personally identifiable information had been improperly accessed, was delivered by mail and confirmed via USPS tracking. 

Despite the passage of over XXXX weeks, I have not received any acknowledgment or response to my inquiry. The lack of communication is deeply concerning, especially given the sensitivity of the issue and the potential violation of my privacy rights under the Privacy Act of 1974. 

I respectfully request immediate confirmation that my letter has been received and that appropriate action is being taken to investigate my concerns. For your reference, I can provide the USPS tracking number and delivery confirmation upon request. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
This letter constitutes my final formal notice regarding the inaccurate late payment currently reported on my credit file and your agencys continued noncompliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. 

Despite multiple previous disputes, you have continued reporting this negative information without providing any supporting documentation to substantiate its accuracy. A generic verified response does not fulfill your legal obligation to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation under FCRA 1681i. 

Additionally, your agency is in violation of FCRA 1681e ( b ), which requires credit reporting agencies to maintain the maximum possible accuracy of consumer information. Your ongoing failure to remove unverified data and refusal to provide original documentation amounts to willful noncompliance. 

You are hereby given 30 days from the date of this letter to provide the following : Complete and original documentation from the creditor validating the alleged late payment ; A detailed account of your reinvestigation process, including verification sources ; Immediate deletion of the disputed item if it can not be fully verified with substantive and original evidence.

As further support, I refer you to recent enforcement actions brought by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), including the XX/XX/year>XXXX  lawsuit against XXXX  for mishandling consumer disputes and reporting inaccurate information. Your conduct mirrors the deficiencies cited in that case and reinforces my grounds for legal action.

Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA

Complaint narrative:
I paid down my balance on a First National Bank of Omaha card in early XXXX and noticed my credit limit did not come back once my balance was {$0.00}. I reached out to FNBO about this and was told my account was closed in XXXX of last year due to a delinquency. When I pressed harder about why I was not notified they said a letter was sent but was undeliverable. I have received mail from FNBO before so this must have been a mailing error on their part. Since they did not notify me properly due to their error they are in direct violation of the FCRA for taking adverse action against my account and not notifying me within the 30 days as required. When I requested my account be reinstated due to their violation of the law they refused and said they will no longer be responding to my inquiry.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MA

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.
