Complaint narrative:
am filing this complaint because my credit reports show several unauthorized inquiries and personal information that I did not initiate or approve. These inquiries have appeared without my consent, and despite reaching out to the credit bureaus to have them removed, they remain on my reports. My disputes have been ignored or dismissed without proper investigation, leaving these inaccurate inquiries to negatively impact my credit score. This situation is both alarming and unjust, as these inquiries are not a result of any actions Ive taken.

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "

Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX, have filed a dispute to address multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) that have occurred regarding my credit report. Here are the key issues : Willful Noncompliance : The credit reporting agency failed to verify the accuracy of the credit information they accepted about me, in violation of FCRA Section 616. This is a serious issue, as willfully failing to comply with the FCRA can result in civil liability, including fines of up to {$1000.00} per violation.

Failure to Disclose Personal Information Rights : The credit reporting agency failed to inform me of my rights to opt out of sharing my personal information, which is required under FCRA Section 603 ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ). This omission is a violation of my rights as a consumer.

Furnishing Deceptive Forms : The agency has been reporting inaccurate credit inquiries and accounts without proper validation. This potentially violates FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ), which mandates that accurate information be reported and that validation procedures are followed.

Debt Collection Violations : Debt collectors have been contacting third parties, including credit reporting agencies, regarding alleged debts without proper validation, violating FDCPA Section 1692c. They have also engaged in unauthorized reporting of debts and have failed to validate these debts as required under FDCPA Section 1692g.

Unauthorized Hard Inquiries : Several hard inquiries were made on my credit report without my consent, violating FCRA Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), which outlines the permissible purposes for consumer credit reports. These unauthorized inquiries need to be deleted.

I have requested the following corrective actions : Deletion of Incorrect Personal Information : Remove incorrect addresses listed on my credit report.

Update of Account Histories : Update accounts marked with late payments to reflect " paid as agreed, never late. '' Debt Validation : Debt collectors must provide validation of debts as required by law. If they can not validate the debts, the items must be removed from my credit report.

Removal of Unauthorized Hard Inquiries : Delete unauthorized inquiries from my credit report. 
Failure to address these violations will lead me to pursue legal remedies available under the FCRA and FDCPA.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Re : Complaint Against American Express for Inaccurate Reporting During Arbitration Dear Sir/Madam, I am filing a formal complaint against American Express for unlawful reporting of inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies while an arbitration proceeding is pending. American Express 's actions are in violation of several consumer protection laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the XXXX  Consumer Arbitration Rules, and the Federal Arbitration Act ( FAA ). Inaccurate Reporting to Credit Agencies American Express has continued to report inaccurate information regarding my account to consumer reporting agencies while arbitration proceedings are ongoing. This action violates my rights under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), which mandates that furnishers of information ensure the accuracy of reported data. Violation of XXXX Consumer Arbitration Rules Under the XXXX Consumer Arbitration Rules, American Express is prohibited from taking adverse actions such as reporting inaccurate information during arbitration. Specifically, Rule 9 ( Preservation of Status Quo ) and Rule 10 ( Interim Measures ) are clear that no actions should be taken that could undermine the fairness of the arbitration process. Violation of Federal Arbitration Act ( FAA ) Under 9 U.S.C. 2 and 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act, arbitration agreements are binding, and any actions, such as reporting inaccurate information, should be stayed until arbitration has been resolved. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate these violations and take appropriate enforcement actions against American Express. I am also requesting that the reporting of inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies be immediately halted while the arbitration process is pending. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the CFPB will take swift action to address these unlawful practices. Sincerely, By : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
XXXX XXXX XXXX American Express - XXXX XXXX ( XXXX )
