Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
To provide some context, I have thoroughly reviewed my credit report and discovered numerous inquiries and accounts that I did not authorize or have any knowledge of. These items have negatively impacted my creditworthiness and have caused significant distress and inconvenience in my personal and financial life. It is worth noting that these fraudulent entries are clearly not reflective of my credit history and are therefore erroneous and misleading. 

Moreover, it is important to note that these inquiries and accounts have been reported without a permissible purpose. According to the FCRA, credit inquiries and account reporting must be conducted with a legitimate reason, such as in connection with a credit application or account review initiated by the consumer. In this case, I have neither applied for credit nor requested any account activity that would justify the presence of these items on my credit report. 

The unlawful reporting of these fraudulent and unauthorized inquiries and accounts not only damages my creditworthiness but also exposes me to potential financial harm. It is imperative that you take immediate action to rectify this situation and remove these inaccurate and unauthorized entries from my credit report. 

I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and provide me with a detailed explanation of how such erroneous information was allowed to appear on my credit report. Additionally, I expect a prompt resolution, including the removal of all fraudulent and unauthorized inquiries and accounts, as well as a written confirmation of the correction made. 

Please be advised that the FCRA provides consumers with certain rights and remedies in cases of inaccurate and unauthorized credit reporting. I am prepared to exercise all available legal options, including filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and seeking appropriate legal redress, if necessary, to protect my rights and ensure compliance with the law. 

I trust that you will treat this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. I expect a prompt response within [ reasonable timeframe, e.g., 30 days ] from the date of receipt of this letter. Failure to address this issue adequately may result in further legal action. I strongly urge you to rectify this violation of my consumer rights promptly and to take all necessary steps to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been 30 days, so they should be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stressed you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against Goldman Sachs Bank USA concerning my Apple Card account, which was opened on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Following the opening of this account, I did not receive any copy of the Apple Card Customer Agreement, which is required to contain key information about my account such as the terms of interest on new purchases, details regarding the prime rate, the arbitration provision, and other important terms and conditions. 

To my understanding, this may constitute a violation of the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) and the Credit CARD Act of 2009. These Acts mandate that credit card issuers provide clear and conspicuous disclosures of the account 's terms and costs to the consumer. I believe the non-disclosure of such important information has deprived me of my right to be fully informed about the financial product I have purchased. 

The lack of disclosure has resulted in an unfair and deceptive practice that hampers my ability to make informed decisions regarding my finances. I hereby request the CFPB to investigate this matter, enforce necessary actions against Goldman Sachs Bank USA for any potential violations, and ensure my rights as a consumer are upheld. 

I am prepared to provide all necessary documents and records in my possession to support this complaint. 

I appreciate your time and consideration of this matter and anticipate your prompt response and resolution. 

Sincerely,

Company: LOBEL FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I changed my insurance from XXXX to XXXX. I had no issues doing that. 
My financial company, Lobel Financial, immediately tacked on {$110.00} on every monthly payment for not having insurance. After providing the paperwork to prove my insurance never lapsed, it simply got changed, they promised me over the phone that they would refund my {$110.00} and remove that from my account. 
This has happened every month since XXXX. I have payed extra {$110.00} everytime. Last month I told them I would not be paying that, and paid only for my monthly amount. They have since started charging me late fees. 


I also sent a certified tracked letter from USPS to make sure that I had proof they received the paperwork. They have said everytime to send it to this e-mail : XXXX They never answer this e-mail. I have sent over 10 e-mails to them. The support does not help. I have been shut down on the phone MANY times. They do not give call IDs or record the calls. I have asked if I could go to a physical location to fix this but everytime I ask that they shut the phone on me. The office that's listed as their location in XXXX XXXX is empty. I have found evidence of a major lawsuit against them, that they lost, for this very same reason. Where it affected upwards of XXXX people. Here is the link to it : https : //www.consumerfinance.gov/enforcement/actions/lobel-financial-corporation/ I am at the end of my rope. It has been 3 months that having my wife unemployed, work is very hard to come by and money is very tight. I have begged, cried, screamed, pleaded to be helped by these incompetent and corrupt people, but nothing has been done. Currently I'm seeking legal representation to sue them.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint against Capital One regarding the misleading offer and unfulfilled bonus Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Capital One regarding their Savour card and the false advertising of a {$200.00} bonus offer on spending {$500.00} within the first month. Despite meeting and exceeding the spending requirements, I was informed that I am not eligible for the promised bonus. This situation has caused me significant inconvenience and frustration, and I seek your assistance in rectifying this matter. 

On XX/XX/XXXX ( or in that week ), I applied for the Capital One Savour card primarily because it advertised a lucrative offer of a {$200.00} bonus when spending {$500.00} within the first month of card membership. The offer was a deciding factor for me to choose Capital One as my financial service provider. However, to my dismay, after spending a total of {$800.00} within the specified timeframe, Capital One notified me that I was not approved for the bonus. 

Feeling misled and deceived, I immediately contacted Capital One 's customer service on two separate occasions, including today ( XX/XX/XXXX ), to seek clarification and resolution. Regrettably, each interaction with their representatives left me dissatisfied and without a satisfactory explanation for the denial of the bonus. This lack of transparency and accountability from Capital One is highly disappointing and does not align with the standards I expect from a reputable financial institution.
