Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to report a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act by Equafax. On XXXX I submitted a valid FTC Identity Theft Affidavit and formal fraud block request identifying multiple accounts that resulted from identity theft. The affidavit was generated through IdentityTheft.gov under FTC Report Number XXXX and included a sworn statement under penalty of perjury along with specific account identification. This submission satisfied all requirements under 15 USC 1681c-2 to trigger a mandatory fraud block.

Federal law required Equafax to block the identified identity theft related accounts within four b
usiness days of receipt. As of the date of this complaint Equafax has failed to block the accounts and continues to report them on my consumer credit file. This failure constitutes a direct violation of FCRA Section 605B and has caused ongoing harm by allowing identity theft information to remain published beyond the statutory deadline.

Complaint narrative:
Square activated and approved my business account. After approval, a legitimate customer made an online card payment of {$12000.00}. A couple days later, Square deactivated my account without prior warning and placed a 90 day hold on the funds. 

Square did not give me a reason or explain for deactivation just simply they decided to deactivate account after I submitted my information to verify and admits the funds are being held only for potential disputes, not because of any actual chargeback or fraud. I relied on Squares approval to conduct business, and the unexpected freeze has caused direct financial harm to my operations. 
Square has stated their decision is final and will not release the funds until XX/XX/2026, despite no dispute existing. I believe this constitutes unfair and deceptive business practices, particularly given the post-approval acceptance of funds followed by a freeze. 
I am requesting immediate release of my XXXX. Or a documented, specific justification for withholding the funds.

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 the38668re 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:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) thatDisputeXXXX XXXX  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.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am attaching a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as a result of such theft within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. 
The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : NAME / ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately blocked from my credit report. This block should remain in effect for a period of XXXX year, after which I XXXX request an extension. During this time, no information XXXX be reported. 
I have contacted Transunion multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive resolution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely affecting me as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my economic growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm. 
These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit agencies, so I do not understand why this agency continues to assert that these accounts belong to me. 
I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than 60 days, I have not received any response. I respectfully request your assistance in removing these accounts immediately.

Issue: Repossession — Account reinstatement or redemption after repossession
Company: AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE CORP
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Statement of Facts and Disparate Treatment I am submitting this statement to formally document the material differences in repossession handling between my account and my husbands account with the same lender, and how those differences directly caused unnecessary delays, increased fees, and financial harm to me. 

Husbands Repossession Experience My husband experienced a vehicle repossession under similar financial circumstances. 
Upon contacting the lender : He was provided immediate reinstatement options His account did not require a prolonged review Certain fees were reduced or waived His vehicle was released promptly The process was clear, timely, and resolution-focused. 

My Repossession Experience In contrast, my experience differed significantly : 1. Extended and Unexplained Review I was informed my account required a review before reinstatement. 
No clear timeline was provided. 
This review caused my vehicle to remain in storage longer than necessary. 
2. Repeated Processing Delays Each contact resulted in additional waiting periods ( XXXX hours ). 
Supervisor escalation was not immediately available, I never received a call. 
No alternative resolution options were offered during the review period. 
3. Escalating Fees Storage fees continued accruing solely due to processing delays Reinstatement costs increased daily while I awaited review decisions. 
Unlike my husbands account, no fees were reduced or waived 4. Inconsistent Communication I was told notices had been sent, despite : Lack of access to my phone at the time Certified mail being received after critical deadlines No signature on certified correspondence Despite maintaining communication, delays persisted. 

Resulting Impact As a direct result of these differences : My reinstatement amount increased substantially I experienced prolonged loss of transportation I incurred financial hardship not caused by refusal to pay, but by administrative delays The outcome was materially worse than my husbands under comparable circumstances Request for Review I respectfully request : A review of the inconsistent processing between the two accounts Adjustment or waiver of fees that accrued due to internal delays Written explanation for why my account required extended review while my husbands did not Immediate reconsideration of reinstatement terms This statement is submitted in good faith to document procedural inconsistencies and to seek equitable resolution. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Respectfully, XXXX XXXX
