Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect

State: LA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am submitting a formal dispute regarding late payment entries reported within the past two years on my credit file. These late payments resulted from unauthorized interference with my financial accounts due to a cybersecurity breach on my mobile device. As they are not a reflection of my financial behavior, I am requesting their immediate removal.

Issue Summary : I unknowingly downloaded a VPN application on my mobile device. This VPN, intended for privacy protection, contained security vulnerabilities that allowed unauthorized users to access my device. As a result : 1. Unknown third parties gained access to my financial login credentials.

2. My automatic payment settings were altered without my knowledge.

3. This interference led to the late payments that are now inaccurately reflected on my credit report.

FCRA & Federal Violations Committed : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers are prohibited from reporting inaccurate or unverifiable data. Since these late payments resulted from unauthorized external interference, they are inaccurate and must be removed immediately. Additionally, under FCRA 1681i, I have the right to dispute any information that can not be fully substantiated.

The late payments in question do not meet verification requirements due to the nature of the incident.

Furthermore, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) 15 U.S.C. 1693g ( a ) states that consumers can not t be held liable for unauthorized electronic transactions. Since my account settings were tampered with, these late payments were not my responsibility and should not be attributed to me.

Requested Resolution : I am requesting the following actions : 1. Immediate removal of all late payments from the past two years that were impacted by this unauthorized interference.

2. A written confirmation verifying that these late payments have been removed.

3. A compliance review to ensure that my account information is reported accurately in accordance with federal regulations.

If action is not taken to resolve this matter, I will have no choice but to pursue small claims court proceedings to ensure that my rights under FCRA and EFTA are upheld. However, I trust that in good faith, you will follow the law regardless, and I hope this will be resolved amicably. Please confirm resolution of this dispute at your earliest convenience.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
I used their online service on XX/XX/2025 to initiate a wire transfer to a title company to close on a house. 
When I was asked if I wanted to pay {$30.00} for same day or {$0.00} for next business day, I chose next business day not knowing that would change my transfer to ach. The title company specifically said that they don't accept ach which is why I chose to wire funds. Since it was changed to ach, the receiving bank rejected it and now I am being told it will take 1-3 business days for the funds to be back in my account so that I can then initiate a new wire transfer. I was supposed to close on the home today XX/XX/2025 and have missed this date which I had signed a contract to do. The sellers desperately needed to close today which is why I initiated the wire as soon as I received the instructions. When I called Bank of America, I was continually told it was my fault and there was nothing they could do to speed up the process. They offered to resolution other than to say it takes 1-3 business days. Because they switched it to an ach transfer without making that clear I am going to lose my earnest deposit and all of the fees I have paid up to this point to purchase the home. I spent two hours on hole on the phone with them. I went into a physical bank of america and spoke to a representative there and was told there is nothing they can do. I now have to access to my funds as they are not in the bank account of the title company, nor are they in my bank account. I asked many times if there way any way to request to speed up the process and was told no, even though they do have the option to pay to speed up ach on their website. I was then hung up on by the customer service representative.They made ni attempt to offer a solution to this situation or at the absolute minimum, offer an explanation on how the process works. I was told that they don't know how it works.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the unauthorized inquiries listed on my credit report. Despite my previous letter with your bureau, these inquiries remain on my credit file. 
I have taken all necessary steps to address this issue, including contacting the institutions associated with these inquiries and providing comprehensive documentation to substantiate my claims. Despite these efforts, your bureau has yet to resolve this matter satisfactorily. It is essential to note that the nature of these inquiries has been confirmed by the respective institutions, and they have assured me that these inquiries were erroneous and should be removed. Furthermore, other credit bureaus have already acted and removed these unauthorized inquiries from their records. 
Therefore, I am perplexed and concerned by your bureau 's continued reporting of these inquiries. This ongoing issue not only undermines the accuracy of my credit report but also causes significant distress and potential financial harm to me. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), your bureau is legally obligated to conduct a thorough and reasonable investigation of disputes. This investigation must promptly review all relevant information provided by the consumer, such as myself. I urge you to reinvestigate these inquiries and remove them from my credit report immediately. 
Failure to address this issue promptly and appropriately will compel me to pursue legal recourse to protect my rights and restore the integrity of my credit report. I trust that your bureau will adhere to the legal standards set forth by the FCRA and act swiftly to rectify this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I'd like to emphasize that I am the one submitting this complaint and there is no third party involved. 
Despite having sent multiple letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by identitytheft.gov as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under identitytheft.gov clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through identitytheft.gov, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid. 

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : 1.Parker v. Time Warner Entertainment Co. L.P. , 331 F.3d 13 ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
2.Sarver v. Experian Information Solutions , Inc. , 390 F.3d 969 ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report. 
3.Henson v. Santander Consumer USA , Inc. , 2017 U.S. Dist . XXXX  XXXX ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX ) : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing once again to follow up on my previous disputes regarding the inaccuracies in my personal information appearing on my credit report. My initial dispute letter was sent on XX/XX/XXXX, and I have yet to receive confirmation that my concerns have been addressed or that any corrective action has been taken. Additionally, I sent a follow-up letter on XX/XX/XXXX, but I still have not received a response. To reiterate, my correct and up-to-date personal information is : Full Name : XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX Social Security Number : XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX In my initial dispute, I provided supporting documentation, including a copy of my government-issued ID, a utility bill, and my Social Security card, to validate my identity and substantiate my claim. However, the inaccurate addresses remain on my credit report, which is unacceptable. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are legally required to investigate disputes and correct any inaccurate information within the mandated timeframe. Your continued failure to address this matter not only violates my rights but also raises concerns regarding compliance with federal law. 

I am formally requesting the following actions : Immediate removal of the erroneous addresses from my credit report. 
An updated credit report reflecting the corrected information. 
Written confirmation of the actions taken to resolve this dispute. 

If I do not receive a satisfactory response within 10 days of receipt of this letter, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and consider further legal action.

I'm requesting this derogatory remark be removed or corrected immediately as it's affecting my chances of getting a house. Experian is violating my rights as a consumer, as well as federal laws.

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my recent three-bureau credit report, I discovered severe inaccuracies and inconsistencies regarding the reporting of my XXXX XXXX account ( XXXX ). Experian and XXXX report a 'High Balance ' of {$0.00}, while XXXX reports {$34000.00}. XXXX inaccurately reports five 90-day late payments, significantly different from Experian and XXXX. Furthermore, XXXX 's reporting date conflicts with the other bureaus. These inaccuracies demonstrate a failure to maintain accurate, fair, and complete reporting under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). Given these discrepancies, I demand immediate deletion of this inaccurately reported account. 

These discrepancies indicate inaccurate, incomplete, and inconsistent credit reporting practices by the bureaus, clearly violating FCRA 1681e ( b ), which requires maximum accuracy and consistency in consumer reporting.
