State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this statement to report fraudulent activity on my credit report. I did not apply for, open, authorize, or have any knowledge of the accounts in question. I have never received any products, services, funds, or benefits from these accounts. These accounts were opened without my permission and are the result of identity theft. 

I first discovered these fraudulent accounts while reviewing my credit report. I immediately took action by filing disputes with the credit bureaus and reporting the identity theft. I have provided supporting documentation, including proof of identity and a police/FTC identity theft report.

I am requesting that these fraudulent accounts be blocked and permanently removed from all credit reporting systems, as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

The accounts being reported are not mine, and I have never had any affiliation with them.

Thank you for your urgent attention to resolving this matter.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Experian Information Solutions Inc. regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ). Despite clear legal notice, Experian Information Solutions Inc. continues to willfully report inaccurate data in violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), 1681i, and FDCPA 1692e and 1692f. I have exhausted all attempts to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau. I now request the CFPB to investigate and enforce compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I was working for a company online that I found out to be fraudulent and they stole money from me without my authorization. I followed the complaint with Bank of America and they have denied the claim three times without any proper explanation or validation to their decision to deny the claim. Their decision was based on assumption with no substance to their reasoning for denying the claim.

Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

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. 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.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I am not disputing this debt. I already paid it. I am requesting the billing statements for my records due to an unrelated insurance matter. PRA has repeatedly refused to provide them.

I submitted multiple written requests while I was already in an active payment plan. PRA responded by claiming my request was untimely, which is incorrect I was not disputing the debt, and consumers may request account statements at any time. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX OCC response confirms the account was sold and that PRA now owns all servicing responsibility. PRA, however, has still not produced a single billing statement or itemized accounting.

At this point, PRA and XXXX XXXX responses together suggest that no one can produce the underlying account statements, meaning PRA is collecting on a debt they can not substantiate beyond a balance figure.

I settled the account in full. I simply need the billing statements for my records. PRA has avoided providing them and has not answered whether they actually possess the documentation they should have received when purchasing the account.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX or XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) is secretly placing fees on debit cards. I just found out thats illegal for debit cards. Theyve been doing it for the 2 years I have been living at my current residence. Just today the register said {$10.00} cash but they charged me {$11.00}. The bottom of the register was covered so I couldnt see the rest of what was on there. Can I get a refund for the back money and for this transaction. I have all my transactions on my phone because my debit cards are connected to it.
