Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I set up my student loans for autopay. When I selected autopay I chose to auto allocate payments. Originally all of my current loans were selected on auto allocate payments. I have been on autopay since XX/XX/year>. They recently sent a delinquency notification to the credit bureaus for the amount of {$1.00}. When I called them they told me that I only selected XXXX of the XXXX loans ( the XXXX was the cheapest of all XXXX so not sure why I would agree to pay the most expensive ones and not the cheapest ) for auto allocate. I told them that thats not possible as all loans are selected automatically and that I would have specifically removed a loan. I then asked them to speak to whoever is in their credit bureau management office and they told me that there are people who work there but they dont know who they are and theres no way to reach them. These practices are shady and now my credit will be impacted for the next 7 years over an error on their end.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I made two credit card payments from my Bank of America checking account : {$130.00} to my Customized Cash Rewards Visa ( ending in XXXX ) and {$77.00} to my BankAmericard XXXX XXXX XXXX ( ending in XXXX ). Both payments were accepted by Bank of Americas system and I received confirmation numbers for each payment. At the time I submitted these payments, sufficient funds were available in my checking account, and the amounts were debited immediately. 

However, Bank of America later reversed one of the payments without notice, and instead applied the funds to other debits and fees that posted to my checking account after the payments were confirmed. This action has caused or will cause : Improper late fees on my credit card accounts The risk of a 30-day late payment being reported to credit bureaus, which would significantly damage my credit score for years I followed all proper payment procedures, and I have proof that the payments were accepted ( confirmation numbers and screenshots ). Under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) and Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ), credit card issuers must credit payments as of the date received when properly made. Bank of Americas reversal of confirmed payments directly violates this requirement and constitutes an unfair banking practice. 

I am requesting that Bank of America : 1. Reinstate my XX/XX/year> payments to my credit card accounts, or apply equivalent credits. 
2. Remove and waive any late fees.

3. Confirm in writing that no negative credit reporting will result from this issue.

4. Provide a clear written explanation as to why confirmed payments were reversed after being accepted.

I am submitting this complaint because Bank of Americas actions have placed me at risk of financial harm and negative credit consequences despite my compliance with all payment requirements.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute several inquiries listed on my credit report that I did not authorize. Upon reviewing my credit file, I noticed multiple inquiries from companies with whom I have never applied for credit or given permission to access my report. 
I have submitted dispute requests and provided documentation to support my claim, but the inquiries remain on my file without resolution. These unauthorized inquiries negatively impact my credit score and raise concerns about potential identity misuse or reporting errors. Despite my follow-ups, the issue has not been appropriately addressed. 
As a consumer, I have the right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe to be inaccurate or fraudulent. I am requesting that a full investigation be conducted to determine the origin and legitimacy of these inquiries.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I have had my identity stolen and used to charge my mortgage to which caused me to lose my business and home. The credit card company won't tell me what I have hard pulls on my credit reports and I have an unclaimed property on the Tennessee unclaimed property website. It was found that the person who had offered me a commercial line of credit placed my social security number on the loan application four times printed along with my name printed beside one of them and then recorded a spurious Deed of Trust that was used to disguise the underlying contract. 
It has taken my business and home and I can't get any help. The credit card company won't explain the reports and the bank is denying the report. Is there anything that can be done to find out if the card was issued as the reports say? They said they could not tell me because it's been over 60 days.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information reported on my credit report concerning a charge-off. Below are the details of the account in question : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year>. It has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off. Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score. Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony bank closed all 9 of my credit card accounts on XX/XX/XXXX. During the month of XX/XX/XXXX, they gave me an increase to all my accounts varying between XXXX credit increase per card. Ive been with synchrony bank since XXXX and never missed a payment. The reason of close was due to high risk of non payment. But if I never missed a payment for over 14 years and just got credit limit increased a month prior, how am I a high risk of non payment. I would like to dispute the closures and get my accounts back. Like I said Ive never missed a payment, always overpaid the minimum monthly payments by 50 % per card. If synchrony doesnt give me my accounts back, and they closed them for no evidence to back up the high risk claim due to my payment history, I would like them to remove all account balances since they are the ones terminating the relationship I have with them. They said they sent me a letter, but I did not received any for my 9 accounts.
