Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
These entries are incorrect and do not accurately reflect my actual payment history. I have made multiple attempts to get these discrepancies investigated and corrected, yet no meaningful action has been taken. Despite providing all necessary documentation and following up several times, these errors remain unresolved. This ongoing issue has caused financial stress and has taken a serious toll on my well-being. Dealing with these inaccurate entries has been frustrating and exhausting.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to a credit report that accurately represents my financial history. This includes the prompt correction of outdated or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate action to update or remove these late payment entries, as failing to do so is a direct violation of my rights under federal law.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a resolution as soon as possible.

Complaint narrative:
Loans Due to Identity Theft and Violation of FCRA and USC Credit Laws To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute and request the immediate deletion of fraudulent auto loans that have been reported on my credit file. These accounts were not authorized by me, and I am a victim of identity theft. Despite prior disputes, these accounts have been inaccurately verified and continue to appear on my credit report, in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), and relevant provisions of the U.S. Code ( e.g., 15 U.S.C. $ $ 1681-1681x ).

I have filed a police report and an identity theft affidavit, and I have enclosed copies of both documents along with a copy of my government-issued ID and proof of address. 
Under Section 605B of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), 1 am formally requesting that these fraudulent items be blocked from my credit file immediately. The continued reporting of these fraudulent accounts is causing undue harm and distress, and you are obligated by law to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information you furnish to creditors and third parties.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, my tax return was deposited into my associated bank account. I've been waiting for several months for my return to finish being verified by the IRS. My attorney has been verified and deposited on that day. I went into the branch to access my funds And the banker told me that it was a scam. I said how could it be a scam when these are my funds from the IRS they have frozen my accounts and asked me to release to them personal documentation that I am not comfortable giving them. I did however log into my IRS portal Directly from my transcripts page and relinquished immediately my IRS transcripts directly from my IRS portal to confirm in fact that these funds were deposited from the IRS and are legally mine there is no foul play here on my behalf. This bank now claims that they have to verify again with the IRS after I have already given them my IRS transcripts even called the IRS. The IRS can not release any information pertaining me or my return without my consent. I have already willingly giving them my IRS transcripts and they are refusing to grant me access to my money this bank is discriminating against me unlawfully and I want my money right now. They need to unfreeze my accounts fourth with and release my money to me. I no longer want to bank with them.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/scrub> 2025, I sold my home and received a check for {$500000.00} from the title company at closing. Immediately after the closing, I deposited the check at a Bank of America branch in XXXX XXXX, PA. 

The next day, I received an email from the bank stating that the check was on hold and that funds would not be available until XX/XX/year>2025. Then, on XX/XX/scrub> 2025, I received another notification further delaying access to my funds until XX/XX/scrub>, 2025.

I urgently need these funds for the down payment on a new home purchase, and to invest the remaining amount into a certificate of deposit ( CD ). The continued delays are jeopardizing my new home purchase and causing me financial losses, as I can not take advantage of favorable CD interest rates during this period.

Despite repeated calls to the bank, I am only told that they " need to verify funds. '' I contacted the issuing bank, and they have confirmed that there is no issue or hold on the check from their side.

This delay seems unreasonable, especially considering the size and purpose of the deposit. I am a responsible consumer who followed all proper steps. This hold is preventing me from completing a time-sensitive financial transaction and causing monetary harm.

I request the CFPB to review this situation and urge the bank to immediately release my funds or provide a clear, valid justification for the delay.

Complaint narrative:
Experian continues to report harmful inaccuracies on my credit profile that should have been corrected long ago. The presence of these errors signals a serious flaw in your investigation and verification process. These inaccuracies are directly harming my financial standing, and I will not tolerate continued negligence.

The FCRA requires that every item reported must be both accurate and verifiable through original supporting documents. If Experian can not prove these records are valid using legitimate evidence, they must be deleted immediately. I expect a complete reinvestigation and immediate correctionfurther delay will be treated as a direct violation of my rights.

Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I opened a Discover credit card in XXXX. Recently, I noticed my interest rate was raised to 27.49 %, which I never knowingly agreed to. This rate is excessive and possibly usurious. I never received clear notice of this increase nor do I recall consenting to a variable APR of this magnitude. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent Discover a formal debt validation request under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I requested : A signed agreement or documentation of my consent to the account terms A full itemized account history showing how the current balance was calculated Documentation of all interest rate changes and evidence that I was properly notified A breakdown of how my recent {$500.00} payment was applied On XX/XX/XXXX, Discover responded with a generic letter stating the account was valid, but they did not provide any of the documents I requested. On XX/XX/XXXX, they sent recent account statements, but again failed to provide a signed agreement, any interest rate disclosure history, or evidence that I was properly notified of rate increases in compliance with the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ).

This does not meet the standard for debt validation and raises serious concerns about compliance with both FDCPA and TILA. I believe Discover is attempting to collect on a balance inflated by an interest rate I never agreed to, without adequate documentation or legal justification.
