Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I moved to a new address and did not receive notification that my annual renew fee was assessed on my Indigo Card ( Concora Bank ). Contacted the card issuer and explained the situation. I was given my late fees back as a refund and I was also told to contact their " Back Office '' by mail to have the late fee removed from my credit report. The " Back Office '' instead disregarded the explanation for the unfair situation even when I explained I have NEVER been late or missed a payment on this account. I felt their lack of empathy in this situation was terrible. My intentions are to cancel this card as soon as possible if I don't receive a good resolution to this situation.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX AL XXXX XXXX To : Credit Reporting Agency Subject : Request for Removal of Unveriable Account Dear Credit Reporting Department, I am writing to formally request the removal of an account from my credit report as reported by [ XXXX, XXXX, XXXX TransUnion ]. This request is based on the recent deletion of an account by XXXX, one of the four major credit reporting agencies. I recently disputed a charge-o for {$500.00} from XXXX XXXX listed on my XXXX report, and following a thorough investigation, XXXX has completely removed this unveriable debt from my report as of XX/XX/year> According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), all consumer reporting agencies must ensure that information in consumer reports is accurate, fair, and veriable.

I am exercising my right to ensure that my credit report remains fair, accurate, and free of unveriable information. Since XXXX has deemed this account unveriable and removed it, you must take similar action.

Additionally, under FCRA Section 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), information suppliers must report only complete and accurate information. With XXXX having deemed this information unveriable, I urge you to align its records accordingly.

Please provide conrmation of this removal within 30 days of receipt of this request. If the account is not removed, I am prepared to pursue further actions, including ling a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and seeking legal action under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including Section 616 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n ), which allows consumers to seek legal recourse for willful non-compliance, and Section 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681o ) for negligent non-compliance.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Date : XX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX : Complaint About Navy Federal Credit Union 's Practices Dear CFPB Team , Im reaching out because Im having a serious issue with Navy Federal Credit Union ( NFCU ) thats negatively affecting my credit. I need your help to get this resolved.

Heres what happened : I had a credit card with NFCU and took out a cash advance. I paid the loan back within 24 hours, but NFCU charged a sky-high interest rate that effectively made the XXXX XXXX XXXX. That alone felt unfair, but things got worse. 

They reported the balance incorrectly to the credit bureausnot once, but twice. Then, NFCU drained my account to a XXXX balance and even withdrew an additional {$5.00} for my membership fee. That caused my account to have insufficient funds, making it look like Id written a bad check. 

This incorrect reporting is still on my credit report, and its making my financial situation look much worse than it really is. For clarity, this is a credit card issue, not a bounced check or bad funds issue, but NFCUs reporting makes it seem otherwise.

Ive attached documentation, including a letter from the collection agency involved and details about the account. Im asking for your help to ensure NFCU updates my account information and removes the incorrect details from my credit reports.

This has been incredibly stressful, and I appreciate any assistance you can provide to get this resolved. If you need any additional information from me, you can reach me at XXXX or XXXX. 

Thank you so much for your time and support. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
