Company: Quick Bridge Funding, LLC
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 we had a letter taped to our door addressed to XXXX XXXX. My name is XXXX XXXX. It was for collection of a loan that we had never taken out. I took it to my bank and they said it was fraud. We tried to call the company and they told us they'd call us back and never did. We then assumed that it was a scam and that we'd never hear from them again. I got served papers today to appear in a lawsuite in a month for a loan I never took out. Little did we know my phone, computer, or something had been hacked because I have email correspondence between my email and the company that supposedly gave us a loan. I never received any money. If you have any suggestions on getting out of this lawsuit that would be great. Thanks.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to report that I have been the victim of identity theft, as evidenced by unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. According to 15 U.S.C 1681, credit report agencies are acting unlawfully and defaming my character by allowing these inquiries to appear on my credit report without my permission. These unauthorized inquiries have resulted in significant damage to my credit score and have made it difficult for me to apply for credit. As a result, I believe that the credit bureaus have violated my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting act, which requires that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate and up-to-date information about consumers. I urge the CFPB to take swift action to address this issue and ensure that credit reporting agencies are held accountable for their actions. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide to rectify this situation and restore my credit report to its rightful state. Thank you

Complaint narrative:
15 US Code 1681e states that every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title.

I am not satisfied with my previous dispute because I have reason to believe that this company did not follow reasonable procedures when investigating the items that I disputed on my credit report, I believe that the company 's investigation was done by an automated eOscar system which is why the investigation yielded inaccurate and false information 15 US Code 1681i ( Section 5 paragraph A ) states that Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) PROMPTLY DELETE that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

From my understanding this company could be held liable for willful noncompliance under 15 US Code 1681n especially due to the statutory and actual damages i've suffered

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
This is a not a duplicate complaint, this complaint is due to the new issue on my credit report. I'm not using any third party for this matter and represent myself by myself. I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, which I have enclosed within this dispute package. My personal information was compromised, so as a result I got hard inquires on my report that I never authorized, I have not signed or applied to any of these creditors or companies who posted hard inquires on my report. Inquiries that are made by someone else without my authorization is not a factual record of access to my credit file, it is a factual record of fraudulent activity, and it must be addressed as such. The reason that these inquiries are being disputed is because they were not made by me, and when I report this to you, it is your responsibility to investigate my claims, and when you can not prove that these inquiries were made by me, they must be removed from my credit file. It is not my responsibility to go directly to each creditor, the obligation lies at your feet because you are reporting inaccurate information within my credit report, and this violates the FCRA. It should be noted that an inquiry that was not made by me is not a factual record, just as a fraudulently opened account is not a factual record and not referred to the creditor to be disputed directly with them. The credit reporting agencies have attempted to address an inquiry as a factual record of file access, but if it was done through fraudulent means, it is not a factual record. As a consumer I should not be required to dispute each fraudulent inquiry directly with each company. These inquiries are the result of fraudulent activity and therefore inaccurate information in which the credit reporting agencies or the creditors can not verify, meaning that these inquiries are unverifiable information and must be deleted from out of my credit file : XXXX Inquiry : XXXX XXXX, XXXX ; XXXX Inquiry : XXXX XXXX, XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry : XXXX XXXX, XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry : XXXX. XXXX, XXXX ; XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry : XXXX XXXX, XXXX these items above should be removed from my report immediately.

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Mohela Loan Servicer multiple times regarding my PSLF application. I have worked over 20 years for the same employer which is an eligible PSLF employer. My application was processed and I only received one payment applied to my tracker count. This count is inaccurate. When calling I get different responses from different representatives at Mohela. I just want a fair and accurate count which I believe I am eligible for forgiveness.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
I notified Bank of America in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX that a checking account was opened fraudulently in my name. I was told it would take 60-90 business days to close the account. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and the account is still not closed. This is an unacceptable timeline and Bank of America should be ashamed of how they have treated me. Not only am I a victim of identity theft but I have also been victimized by Bank of America holding my account hostage. It should have been closed in a timely manner and they have failed. This should not be allowed to occur without some sort of penalty assessed to Bank of America. Shame on them.
