Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account # XXXX Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally request the removal of an account associated with XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit report. A dispute was filed more than 30 days ago, requesting validation of the debt, specifically the assignment contract proving the debt was legally transferred or assigned. To date, there has been no response or valid proof of ownership provided by the creditor or debt collector. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), if a consumer disputes the accuracy of information in their credit report, the credit reporting agency is required to investigate the dispute and resolve it within 30 days. Furthermore, if the disputed information can not be verified within this period, the account must be deleted from the consumers credit report as required by law. 

I have attached a copy of my Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) complaint, which also reflects that no valid response or verification has been provided within the legal timeframe. 

Given the lack of response and verification, I kindly request that you immediately remove this account from my consumer report in accordance with the FCRA. Please confirm in writing once this action has been completed. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX tached CFPB complaint for further documentation.

This account was paid off over a year ago. It says that this collection was added to my file between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX This was on both my XXXX and XXXX accounts. I would like this to be removed from my credit report. The tactics this company is using are illegal. They are placing an account on my credit report, saying it was open when it wasn't.

Company: GREENSTATE CREDIT UNION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding the mishandling of a dispute I filed with GreenState Credit Union, which has caused significant frustration and financial strain. Below are the details of the situation : Dispute Summary : On XX/XX/year>, I made a payment to a merchant for doors and windows. The merchant, however, failed to deliver the product, and after several attempts to communicate with them, I was forced to file a dispute with GreenState Credit Union. Despite providing all the necessary documentation, including invoices and emails confirming non-delivery, GreenState Credit Union has delayed resolving my dispute. 

Violation of Federal and State Regulations : Under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act ( XXXX ), the bank is required to investigate and resolve disputes within XXXX business days. However, the bank did not contact me within this timeframe, and I had to reach out on XX/XX/XXXX, which marked XXXX business days from my initial submission, to inquire about the status of my dispute. Despite providing the necessary documentation upfront, I am now being asked for additional information that was never requested initially. This has caused further delays and stress. 

In addition to the failure to comply with XXXX requirements, the merchant has violated Illinois state law ( Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, XXXX ILCS XXXX ) by failing to deliver the product within a reasonable time. I am entitled to a refund, yet GreenState Credit Union has not acted in a timely or appropriate manner to recover my funds. 

Unfair Treatment and Lack of Communication : I feel that I am being treated unfairly and subjected to unnecessary hurdles, which are making the process far more difficult than it should be. There has been a lack of transparency and communication throughout the process, and I am left with no choice but to seek outside assistance. 

Desired Outcome : I request that GreenState Credit Union promptly resolve this dispute by refunding my money in accordance with federal and state laws. Additionally, I ask that the CFPB investigate whether GreenState Credit Union has engaged in discriminatory practices by subjecting me to excessive scrutiny and delays, as it feels like a case of XXXX while banking. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your assistance in ensuring my rights as a consumer are upheld.

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.
