Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block Inc ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violates the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected. Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss and I seek appropriate redress for these violations,

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Against Equifax Inaccurate Address Reporting Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax for reporting an inaccurate and unauthorized address on my credit report. The address in question, which is incorrect and not associated with me, is : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, PA, XXXX The only accurate and valid address that should appear on my credit report is : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, PA, XXXX Despite prior attempts to have this misinformation corrected with Equifax, the inaccurate address continues to be reported. This is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit reporting agencies to maintain accurate information and to promptly investigate disputes. Specifically : 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Requires consumer reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy.

15 U.S. Code 1681i Requires agencies to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information within 30 days.

Equifaxs failure to correct or remove the false address, despite being informed of the error, constitutes noncompliance and is subject to the following legal consequences : 15 U.S. Code 1681n Liability for willful noncompliance includes actual damages, statutory damages of up to {$1000.00} per violation, punitive damages, and attorneys fees.

15 U.S. Code 1681o Liability for negligent noncompliance includes actual damages and attorneys fees.

I am formally requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and require Equifax to : 1. Immediately delete the inaccurate address listed above. 
XXXX. Ensure that only my current and correct address, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA, XXXX, appears on my credit report. 
XXXX. Provide written confirmation of this correction. 

Ive previously supplied copies of my government-issued ID, a utility bill, and/or other official documentation verifying my correct address. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure Equifax complies with all applicable provisions of the FCRA and corrects this error without delay.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Problem getting a working replacement card
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
Im writing to express my growing frustration with the excessive and frankly unnecessary hurdles Ive been forced to navigate just to request a simple replacement card.

Over the course of one interaction, I was subjected to an exhausting verification process that included a phone call, an over-the-top number of security questions ( at least 21 ), and an additional verification linkonly to still spend another 15 minutes of my time resolving what should have been a straightforward request.

This is not acceptable. While I fully understand and respect the need for secure processes, theres a clear difference between protecting user information and creating a system so inefficient it borders on dysfunctional. A
s a long-time PayPal user , I find this level of bureaucracy extremely disappointing and out of touch with what customers deserve.

My time is valuable, and I do not appreciate having it wasted due to poor internal systems and redundancy. I urge PayPal to reevaluate how these processes are designed and executedbecause this experience does not reflect the standards of a company that claims to value its customers. 

I expect a prompt response and some indication that this feedback is being taken seriously. I also expect a more efficient resolution process should I need to contact support again in the future.

Complaint narrative:
This is my final notice regarding your ongoing noncompliance with federal credit reporting laws. I previously disputed the accuracy and legitimacy of several items on my credit report, yet your agency has failed to act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Your violations include : Failure to validate the debt as required under 15 USC 1692g ( Section 809 ( b ) ).

Continuing communication after a certified cease-and-desist request, violating 15 USC 1692c ( Section 805 ( c ) ).

Harassment under 15 USC 1692d ( Section 806 ).

Recently, I received notice that your investigation was complete, but the disputed accounts remain on my credit report. These accounts are not only inaccurate but were never authorized by me. No valid contract exists, and I have not provided any written consent for the reporting of these accounts, as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681b.
