Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law. ''

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because my credit file continues to display unauthorized hard inquiries that were made without my knowledge or consent. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 1681b ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ), a permissible purpose is required for any hard inquiry. None of these inquiries were authorized by me, nor were they connected to any legitimate extension of credit. Their continued presence on my report is therefore a direct violation of federal law. 

The following inquiries are unauthorized and must be permanently deleted : XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XX/XX/year> I have already disputed these items directly with Equifax, providing both my written dispute and a copy of my official FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC Report No. XXXX ). Despite my compliance with the legal process, the bureau has failed to block and remove these inquiries as required under FCRA Section 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ). 

This non-compliance has caused measurable harm to my financial life : My credit score remains artificially low due to inquiries I never authorized. 

I am being denied credit opportunities. 

When I do receive approvals, I face higher interest rates and less favorable terms. 

These violations have placed me at risk of further identity theft and financial damage.

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 XXXX 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. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: Comerica
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against XXXX XXXX ( Comerica Bank ) regarding my government benefits card. 

Since XX/XX/year>, I have been going back and forth between XXXX  XXXX  and the Social Security Administration ( SSA ) about my benefits card. Each time, SSA has told me that the problem is on XXXX XXXX side, and that XXXX XXXX is responsible for making sure I can access my money. 

On XX/XX/year> I received my new XXXX XXXX card but it has not been activated despite multiple attempts. I contacted XXXX XXXX  customer service several times, but they have refused or failed to activate my card. Instead, they keep telling me to call SSA, even though SSA told me that card activation is XXXX XXXX responsibility. 

I even located my older card, but XXXX  XXXX  will not activate that either. The SSA confirmed that my benefits are being paid, but because XXXX  XXXX  refuses to activate my card or cooperate, I am unable to access my XXXX benefits. 

This situation has caused severe hardship, as XXXX is my only income. I have had to wait since XX/XX/year> with no access to my money. XXXX  XXXX  continues to delay or shift responsibility rather than resolving the issue. 

I am requesting : Immediate activation of XXXX of my XXXX XXXX  XXXX  cards, OR Transfer of my funds to my checking account, OR Issuance of a check for the full amount owed to me. 

Accountability for the delays and refusal to cooperate. 

Assurance that XXXX  XXXX  will properly handle card activations in the future without pushing consumers back and forth between agencies. 


I am submitting this complaint because XXXX XXXX lack of cooperation has left me without access to my benefits for an unreasonable amount of time. 

Thank you for your assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
