Complaint narrative:
I have previously disputed with XXXX XXXX and XXXX regarding several accounts which I found inaccurate. Up to date, I have received no response nor proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports badly hurt my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.

Im writing personally to dispute several closed accounts on my credit report that contain errors or can not be verified.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 1681i and 1681e ( b ) ), if these accounts can not be verified with original documents, they must be deleted not just marked disputed. If theres no permissible purpose for reporting them, that also violates 1681b.

Company: DISCOVER BANK

Complaint narrative:
Account : # XXXX Filed By : XXXX XXXX XXXX Filed Against : Discover Bank / Discover Personal Loans This complaint is against Discover regarding their deliberate misreporting of my personal loan account ( # XXXX ) including repeated false charge-off reporting, failure to acknowledge legal negotiations, and complete refusal to fix anything after XXXX formal disputes. 
I entered into legal negotiations for this loan in early XXXX  through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Discover was notified. Theyve had more than enough opportunity to correct their records. Instead, theyve continued to : Report a {$19000.00} past-due balance Show the account as charged off every month, not once as required Ignore any reference to legal settlement discussions or hardship status Provide zero documentation justifying the repeated derogatory reporting This recurring charge-off reporting is a textbook violation of FCRA 607 ( b ). A charge-off is a one-time accounting entry, not a monthly punishment. Reporting it repeatedly artificially worsens the severity of the account, makes it appear like I defaulted multiple times, and inflates the perceived risk to lenders. Its deceptive. Its harmful. And its totally illegal. 
Discovers canned response to my multiple disputes Consumer disputes meets FCRA requirements is laughable. Theyve never verified anything. Theyve never acknowledged my legal representation. Theyve never updated the record or offered proof. They just keep pushing the same broken data every month, hoping no one calls them out. Well, I am. 
I have been on XXXX XXXX for over XXXX  years, and my wife for over XXXX. We are both XXXX and living under sustained financial pressure. The continued misreporting of this loan has caused : Financial injury Denials, rate hikes, and restrictions on vital services XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Having to fight this battle over and over just to make them follow the law Discover has had XXXX chances to do the right thing. At this point, it looks like they are either covering up their own reporting failures or simply dont care what happens to the consumers they harm.

My account was recently limited without any valid explanation or evidence of wrongdoing on my part. I want to make it clear that I have not violated any PayPal policies or engaged in suspicious activity. I have always used PayPal legitimately and responsibly. 

In addition, the funds currently in my account are refunds from merchants, not incoming payments from customers. Therefore : There is no risk of chargebacks or disputes. 
These are my rightful funds, and holding them for 180 days is both unjustified and harmful.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Equifax for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to properly handle and remove unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report. 

Despite my formal dispute submitted to Equifax, which included an FTC Identity Theft Report ( No. XXXX ), a government-issued ID, and proof of address, Equifax has continued to report multiple hard inquiries for which I never gave authorization.

Under FCRA 1681b ( f ), a credit report may only be accessed with a permissible purpose. These inquiries were conducted without my knowledge or consent and thus do not meet the permissible use standard. Additionally, under FCRA 1681i ( a ), Equifax is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation when a dispute is submitted. I have reason to believe Equifax has failed to verify these inquiries properly. 

I also requested under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) that Equifax provide documentation and the procedure used to verify these inquiries, including any signed authorization. To date, they have not provided any such documentation. 

This ongoing issue is causing damage to my credit profile and financial standing. I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate XXXX failure to comply with federal law and take corrective action to ensure the deletion of these unauthorized hard inquiries from my credit file. 

I am requesting relief in the form of complete removal of these fraudulent inquiries and assurance that Equifax will implement proper verification processes.
