Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Against Inaccurate and Inconsistent Credit Reporting by XXXX  XXXX XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this complaint regarding inconsistent, inaccurate, and damaging credit reporting by XXXX  XXXX XXXX, specifically relating to the tradeline appearing on my credit file under account number ending in XXXX. 

Overview of the Issue : This account is : Current and positive on XXXX, showing 100 % on-time payment history and {$0.00} past due. 

However, both XXXX  and TransUnion are reporting this same account as In Dispute and reflect 30-day late payments, despite no verified delinquency or legitimate dispute being opened by me.

This contradictory and misleading reporting is : Inaccurately reflecting my payment behavior.

Hurting my creditworthiness.

Violating federal credit reporting laws.

Violations of Federal Law : FCRA ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ), 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) : The data furnisher ( XXXX  of XXXX XXXX XXXX failing to report accurate and complete information across all bureaus. 

Reporting " in dispute '' status and lates only on XXXX  and TransUnion, but not on XXXX, shows a clear inconsistency in how data is furnished, violating uniformity and accuracy obligations under the FCRA. 

TILA ( Truth in Lending Act ), 15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq. : Failure to properly disclose how my credit standing is being impacted by inaccurate reports violates transparency protections and can lead to unjust financial consequences when applying for credit.

GLBA ( Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ), 15 U.S.C. 6801 : Inconsistent and misleading credit disclosures across bureaus violate the requirement to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and accuracy of personal financial information.

Company: ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because I received a notice from XXXX stating that my account ( Account # : XXXX ) is seriously overdue and will be sold to a third party by XXXX XXXX XXXX However, I have already submitted a formal identity theft claim regarding this account. This debt is fraudulent and should not be pursued, reported, or sold until a proper fraud investigation is completed. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), once a consumer provides a police report and affidavit of identity theft, the collector or furnisher must block and cease reporting the disputed item. XXXXt is threatening to sell this debt and continue collections despite my identity theft claim, which is a clear violation of FCRA. 

I am requesting the CFPB intervene and instruct XXXX to : Immediately cease all collection efforts Block the account from reporting to any credit bureaus Permanently remove this account from all consumer reporting agencies Provide written confirmation that this debt will not be sold or reassigned This account is severely damaging my credit, and I am requesting urgent assistance to protect my rights.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Experian advertises customer service phone number but only for sales purposes so the consumer is unable to make a complaint directly with their company and business practices.. Experian advertises low interest loans yet the interest rates shown for all eligible loans are 25 perent and higher. A credit reporting agency should not be in the business of selling high interest loans!! This is called taking advantage of the information they are tasked to protect! And taking advantage of people experiencing financial problems! The sales calls from these companies listed on my Experian account is breaking down my capacity to live.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX. I opened a personal checking account with Truist Bank and received legitimate deposits from XXXX and XXXX for my work as a delivery and rideshare driver. I also received a {$400.00} promotional bonus from Truist. 

On or around XXXX XXXX XXXX, Truist suddenly froze my account with no prior notice. I currently have {$1300.00} in the account, and I have been completely unable to access these funds since the freeze. 

I have visited the bank branch several times and was only told that an internal email was sent, with no explanation, no updates, and no timeline for resolution. It has now been over a week without access to my legally earned money, and this is causing significant financial hardship. 

I have no suspicious or fraudulent transactions. I am attaching documentation showing my income sources and financial activity. 

I respectfully request assistance from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in requiring Truist Bank to : Immediately release or provide access to my account Provide a written explanation of the account freeze Improve their handling of such issues Thank you.
