Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report related to identity theft. I submitted my initial dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, along with a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report and additional documentation supporting my claim. However, your agency has failed to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
Violations of the FCRA 1. Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute. Despite providing a comprehensive FTC Identity Theft Report and detailed supporting evidence, I have not received confirmation of any substantive investigation into the disputed items. 2. Failure to Notify Me of Investigation Results ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ) The FCRA mandates that consumers be notified of the results of an investigation within 30 days of submitting a dispute. To date, I have not received any such notification, nor have I been informed of the outcome of your review or the process by which my dispute was evaluated. 3. Failure to Block Inaccurate Information Promptly ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to block information resulting from identity theft upon receipt of appropriate documentation, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report. This has not occurred in my case. Precedent Cases Supporting My Position Your failure to comply with FCRA requirements is not only a violation of my rights but also exposes your agency to liability, as demonstrated in precedent cases : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : This case emphasized that credit reporting agencies have a duty to conduct reasonable investigations beyond relying on the data provided by furnishers. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : The Supreme Court upheld consumer rights in disputes related to credit reporting inaccuracies, reinforcing the accountability of credit bureaus under the FCRA. 
Requested Resolution To resolve this matter, I demand the following actions : 1. Conduct a reasonable and thorough reinvestigation of the disputed accounts and transactions associated with my identity theft. 2. Provide a detailed written summary of your investigation, including the steps taken and evidence reviewed. XXXX. Immediately block or remove all inaccurate information resulting from the identity theft. 
If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint by filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and potentially pursuing legal remedies.

Complaint narrative:
I have been dealing with this company for over a year and I still have no proof that they actually are still owed money. I was in bankruptcy a few years ago, during which time my account with this organization was removed or updated as closed on my credit reports. When I called them post-bankruptcy to inquire about the account, FIRST they couldn't even find my account. They then sent me to an entirely different organization that then sent me back to them and it still took them three weeks to 'find ' my account. Since then, this account still shows as Closed on all my credit reports, to include TransUnion ( which was the one they allegedly updated and the only credit bureau they say they work with ). 

Going back and forth everything has felt incredibly shady. My monthly due amount doesn't even cover my interest accrual but they say that's my 'full payment ' amount when I called, meaning that unless I overpay what they say I owe I will be paying them forever. XXXX was not my original loan service, they purchased the loan from XXXX years ago.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I've made a few purchases online using paypal credit ( Synchrony Bank ) last year. I returned four of those purchases, two of those returned items went fine, the charges disappeared almost immediately, but i'm still being charged for the other two. One purchase was made on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX from XXXX, of {$120.00}, seller made the refund on XX/XX/XXXX. The other purchase was made on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX also from XXXX, of {$100.00}, seller made the refund on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Ive contacted XXXX and they said refund was made and that I should contact paypal. So I tried contacting paypal online, which is something very hard to do. After I finally managed to send them a message, they replied saying I had to call. 
So I called PayPal, they said they would fix these issues, that they could see the refund had been made and they would apply those refunds to my papal credit and the charges would disappear. That was in XXXX, since then Ive called them 3 times to try and solve that. 
So far nothing has been fixed, the charges are still there. But they went through my account, did something and now I cant see the details of my purchases, only the total amount that I own, which hasnt changed because they didnt do what they said they would, apply the refund to my PayPal credit account. Every time I call, they ask me to wait until the next billing cycle and when the next billing cycle arrives, the charges are still there.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Against Experian for Repeated Failure to Remove Inaccurate Information Violation of FCRA & FDCPA Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing a formal complaint against Experian for their repeated failure to remove inaccurate and unauthorized accounts from my credit report. Despite multiple disputes, XXXX XXXX XXXX remain on my report, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Experians Violations : 1. Violation of FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) ) Experian is legally required to ensure all reported data is accurate and verifiable. They have failed to remove these unverified accounts despite being informed they are incorrect. 
XXXX. Violation of FDCPA ( 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( b ) ) Experian continues to unlawfully communicate my financial information with XXXX and XXXX without my consent, despite warnings that they lack legal authorization. 
XXXX. Violation of FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ) Experian is required to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed accounts. Their repeated denials without proper verification indicate a failure to comply with this requirement. 

Experians Repeated Noncompliance : This is the third time I have disputed these accounts. 
Experian has been notified of the violations yet refuses to correct their reporting. 
Their failure to act harms my creditworthiness and violates federal consumer protection laws. 

Requested Action : I request that the CFPB investigate Experian for its repeated noncompliance and require them to immediately remove the XXXX and XXXX accounts from my credit report. If Experian can not provide proper verification of these accounts, they must be deleted as required by law. 

Please provide an update regarding the steps being taken to hold Experian accountable for its failure to comply with the law.

Improperly reinserting inaccurate information on consumer reports : Equifax has failed to implement basic matching tools that prevent or greatly reduce the likelihood of reinsertion by a new furnisher of a previously deleted tradeline. Instead, XXXX improperly reinserts inaccurate information into consumer reports because it fails to match newly reported information with records of previously deleted information. Consumers who have disputed the accuracy of an account and thought that their consumer report had been corrected, instead see the same inaccurate information reappear on their consumer report without explanation under the name of a new furnisher. Both of the listed accounts were closed and should have been deleted because they are fraudulent. and dropped my score over XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX THIS IS BLATANT VIOLATION OF THE LAW!

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate 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.
