Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as " US BKPT CT XXXXVERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court US BKPT CT XXXX that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute inaccurate personal information currently listed on my credit report. Upon reviewing my report, I found incorrect details under my personal profile, such as outdated or unfamiliar names, addresses, phone numbers, and/or employment history. 
I have not used or been associated with some of the information listed, and the presence of these inaccuracies could result in misidentification, confusion with other individuals, or even potential fraud. I have already submitted requests for correction and provided documents to verify my true and current information, yet the errors remain unresolved. 
These inaccuracies are not only misleading but could also impact future credit decisions. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to ensure that all personal information in my credit report is accurate and up to date.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, an unauthorized withdrawal in the amount of {$12.00} was made from my linked bank account via XXXX, without my permission or knowledge. I did not authorize this charge, and I have never provided consent for XXXX to access my Cash App balance or linked bank funds for this transaction. 

I immediately contacted Cash App to dispute the transaction as unauthorized, in compliance with my rights under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( XXXX XXXX XXXX et seq. ). Despite providing all relevant evidence, Cash App repeatedly denied my dispute without providing a reasonable explanation or proof of authorization, in violation of their obligations to investigate and resolve unauthorized transfers. 

This transaction was unwillful on my part and meets the legal definition of an unauthorized electronic fund transfer. Cash Apps refusal to reverse the charge or provide supporting documentation is both negligent and noncompliant with federal consumer protection law.
