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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after XXXX  days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within XXXX days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the Equifax, Experian, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, my home was burglarized, and my physical Apple Card was stolen. I immediately filed a police report with the XXXX XXXX Sheriffs Department ( Report XXXX. XXXX ) and notified Goldman Sachs Bank USA, the issuer of the Apple Card, about the theft. 

On XX/XX/year>, I exercised my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1666 et seq. ) to dispute multiple unauthorized charges that were made using the stolen card. Goldman Sachs credited my account with provisional credits for the disputed charges while they conducted their investigation. 

On XX/XX/year>, Goldman Sachs unexpectedly reversed all of the provisional credits without providing any explanation. When I contacted Apple Card support about the reversal, they reinstated the provisional credits upon request and stated that they had reopened their investigation into the dispute. 

XXXX days later, on XX/XX/year>, Goldman Sachs closed my Apple Card account without prior notice. The only explanation provided in their email was : Your Apple Card account has been closed as of XX/XX/year> and can no longer be used for purchases because : There was a failure to comply with the terms of the Customer Agreement. 

No specific term was cited, and when I contacted Apple Card support through multiple documented chat sessions, every representative repeated only the vague failure to comply language. They refused to provide any additional detail, and stated the decision was final. 

The timing strongly suggests that my account was closed in retaliation for exercising my rights under the FCBA to dispute fraudulent charges stemming from the documented theft of my card. This raises concerns of unlawful adverse action, unfair or abusive acts or practices under the Consumer Financial Protection Act, and potential violations of : ECOA / Regulation B ( 12 C.F.R. 1002.9 ) for failure to provide a sufficiently specific written explanation of the adverse action ; and FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681m ) if the decision was based in whole or in part on a consumer report, for failure to issue the required adverse action notice identifying the credit reporting agency.

State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I submitted an FCRA 605B identity theft block request to all XXXX  nationwide consumer reporting agencies XXXX, TransUnion, and Equifax which included : A valid FTC Identity Theft Report Government-issued photo ID ( U.S. Passport ) Proof of current address ( utility bill ) Detailed identification of the fraudulent accounts XXXX XXXX confirms delivery of these packages on XX/XX/year>. The FCRA and 16 C.F.R. 603.3 require these items as sufficient documentation to process a 605B request within four business days of receipt. Despite this : TransUnion and Equifax have failed to provide any response or confirmation within the four-business-day statutory period.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( c ), the CRAs were required to block the fraudulent accounts by XX/XX/year>. Their failure to do so violates FCRA 605B, 616, and 617. This conduct is causing ongoing harm and is in direct violation of federal law. 

I am requesting CFPB intervention to compel immediate compliance with FCRA 605B, confirmation in writing of the removal of all fraudulent accounts, and reimbursement of mailing expenses incurred due to improper handling of my request.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding Transunion 's failure to properly investigate my consumer report dispute, in direct violation of their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XX/XX/year>, I filed a formal dispute with Transunion to correct fraudulent and inaccurate information appearing on my consumer report. Instead of conducting a proper investigation, Transunion responded with a stall letter that neither addressed my dispute nor took steps to resolve the inaccuracies. 

I am aware that the CFPB has recently filed a lawsuit against Transunion for these very same practices namely, their systemic failure to properly investigate consumer disputes. I am a direct victim of this misconduct. 

As a XXXX veteran who suffers from XXXX, this experience has been extremely stressful and emotionally triggering. I am currently in the process of closing on a mortgage, and I am under strict time constraints with only XXXX week remaining to finalize my home purchase. Transunions refusal to lawfully process my dispute is putting my homeownership at serious risk, compounding my stress and potentially causing irreparable harm to my financial future. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Transunion fully complies with the FCRA, properly investigates my dispute without further delay, and removes the fraudulent and inaccurate items from my consumer report. I also request that Transunion be held accountable for the injury and distress they have caused. 

I am attaching supporting documents, including copies of my dispute submission and Transunions stall letter, should you require further evidence of their noncompliance. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.
