Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint because there is inaccurate and/or unverifiable information being reported on my credit report by a consumer reporting agency. I recently obtained a copy of my credit report and found one or more accounts that either do not belong to me, are reported inaccurately, or have already been paid in full.

I submitted a written dispute directly to the credit reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically citing violations of 1681e ( b ) for failing to ensure maximum accuracy, and 1681i for not conducting a reasonable reinvestigation within the 30-day timeframe.

Despite my demand, the inaccurate information remains on my report, and I have not received sufficient verification or documentation ( such as a signed contract or complete payment history ) to justify the continued reporting of the disputed account. I believe this reflects willful non-compliance with the FCRA and is causing me harm.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Rent Bureau for failing to properly investigate an eviction record that is either inaccurate, outdated, or misreported. I disputed the information but received no resolution. This eviction was filed in XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Case # XXXX ), and I believe it was either misreported, duplicated, or lacking proper verification. This case is over XXXX years old. I attempted to dispute it directly with the screening company, but I either received no response or an unsatisfactory one. The information is outdated, harmful to my rental prospects, and I believe it may be reported inaccurately or unfairly without proper context. I request that the CFPB review this matter and compel the agency to investigate the accuracy of this eviction record under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. If it can not be verified or is incomplete, it should be removed.

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries made without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry, disclose all communication exchanged, share internal records, confirm identity verification measures, and demonstrate compliance with relevant laws.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I received a phone call on my personal cell number ( XXXX ) saying that someone had attempted to apply for a new credit card. Specifically a Chase Bank Card, XXXX account, in my name using a New York state address. 

The number came from XXXX and they sounded like they were inquiring about whether or not I opened up a new credit card that morning. I of course said no. They asked if I knew anyone in New York, or had any family members, etc. that would have opened the account. Again, No I did not. 

They said that they were going to transfer me to a CFPB assistant that would help me resolve the matter. I asked what that number was in case we were disconnected. They said it was : XXXX. 

Again, all along I sensed something was right, but without giving out any personnel information, went along with it in case it was a legit concern call. 

When transferred to a different person, " XXXX XXXX '' ( I asked ) I got the sense that this could be a scam and or phishing attempt. He wanted me to confirm my SSN, which I didn't do and then he kept saying he had my credit card file and already knew my SSN ( which he rattled off correctly ). I didn't confirm it, but he followed up with asking for my date of birth. Saying, he had my month/year, but needed my day. I said if this was a legit inquiry and concern he would already have that. He started saying, I'm not trying to sell you anything and it's not a scam. We work with all of the credit reporting agencies and I have your information in a file here. I said that is all very interesting. Why so he asked. I said because I know people at the bureau and I don't think this is a legit call. I asked to speak to his supervisor, and he said he is the supervisor. Then I asked to speak with his boss. Silence on the other end. 

I then said I'm not comfortable speaking with you further " XXXX '' and I hung up. They tried to call me back several times, which I then blocked. 

Additionally I checked the phone numbers, reverse look up, and there is a Chase Bank in XXXX or XXXX I believe that actually had one of those phone numbers. Again, on the internet. 

That's basically it. I have credit card monitoring and I didn't receive any other message, email, or call regarding attempts to open up a new account.
