Company: Comerica
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The branch XXXX, XXXX at Comerica and my ex-husband have a relationship where she does favors for him. He forced my name on a vehicle title, then forged my name on a check and then cashed it at the bank with the bank lady doing him a favor. I was not present nor did I sign that check nor did it go into an account that had my name on it. I called Comerica to complain. They said that she was not following Bank procedures And I was supposed to have been there. The Check is forged. She tried to tell me that I was wrong and the check was not forged, even though thats not the question because I definitely didnt sign it, I asked was the check cashed or was it deposited into an account to which she would not tell me, even though it was in my name. As the daughter of the former OCC Texas bank examiner, I would like this to be investigated.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On a prior date, the account XXXX OF XXXX - XXXX was permanently deleted from my credit report as the result of a formal dispute and an official report issued by the FTC ( FTC Report XXXX ), which confirmed that the account was reported without my authorization or consent. 
Recently, this same account was unlawfully reinserted into my credit file. The credit reporting agency Equifax stated only that the account was verified, without providing any documentary evidence or the written certification required from the data furnisher, which constitutes a direct violation of FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ).

Under the FCRA, verified is not a legally sufficient basis for reinserting information unless it is accompanied by : A written certification from the data furnisher confirming the accuracy and completeness of the information ; and Written notice to the consumer within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days of the reinsertion, as required by FCRA 611 ( d ).

No such certification or notice was provided. This also violates FCRA 605B, which mandates the blocking of identity theft-related information within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days after receipt of an official FTC Identity XXXX Report, and FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ), which requires furnishers to update or correct previously disputed information.

The reinsertion occurred without any permissible purpose under FCRA 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), as I never authorized the account, its reporting, or the disclosure of my non-public personal information.

This unlawful action has caused measurable and documented harm, including : A significant decrease in my credit score. 


The disruption of a pending mortgage application. 


Financial and reputational damage to my credit profile. 


I have made multiple good-faith attempts to resolve this matter directly with the credit reporting XXXX XXXX but they have failed to comply with their legal obligations. This is a clear case of willful noncompliance with the FCRA, making the responsible parties subject to statutory and actual damages under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o.

Complaint narrative:
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 4 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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the reinsertion of a negative item on my credit report. As outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ) ( iii ), once a negative item has been deleted from a consumer 's credit report as a result of a dispute, it can not be reinserted unless the credit bureau has received verification of the accuracy of the information, and the consumer is notified within a reasonable time. 
I have recently noticed that a previously deleted negative item has reappeared on my credit report. The details of the account in question are as follows : Account Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Date of Reinserted Item : [ XX/XX/year> ] Balance : {$11000.00} XXXX request that you provide documentation verifying that the negative information was properly reinserted in accordance with the requirements of 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ) ( iii ), including a detailed explanation of how this item was verified and whether I was notified prior to the reinsertion. If such documentation can not be provided, I expect that the item will be removed from my credit report immediately. 
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you inform me of your findings within 30 days of receiving this letter. If you fail to provide the necessary documentation or reinstate the deletion of the item, I will be forced to take further action to protect my rights.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

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.
