Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May concern I am submitting this complaint regarding Equifax failure to properly investigate disputes I have filed concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite providing evidence to support my claims, Equifax has not taken the necessary steps to conduct a proper investigation, which violates my rights as a consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
The inaccurate accounts in question are as follows : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I have submitted disputes for these accounts and provided documentation to prove the information is either inaccurate or unverifiable. However, XXXX has either failed to verify the information properly or has responded with generic " verified '' statements without explaining their investigation process or correcting the errors. 
This failure to conduct a reasonable investigation has caused harm to my credit score and financial well-being, affecting my ability to [ get approved for credit, loans, housing, etc. ]. 
I am requesting the following actions from Equifax through the CFPB : 1. Conduct a proper and thorough investigation into the accounts l 've disputed.

2. Provide me with a detailed explanation of the steps they've taken to verify or correct the information.

3. Remove any inaccurate or unverifiable information from my credit report immediately.

Sincerely,

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Subject : Request for Assistance Regarding Inaccurate Information on My Credit Reports To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally request your assistance regarding unresolved disputes with Experian, XXXX, and XXXX concerning inaccurate information on my credit reports. Despite my attempts to dispute these inaccuracies directly with the credit reporting agencies, I have not received sufficient proof or data substantiating the information. 

Upon reviewing information about the CFPB lawsuit involving these credit bureaus, I believe I may have been impacted. In my previous disputes, the responses I received from the bureaus were generic and did not provide evidence that an investigation was conducted as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Under FCRA, I am entitled to have all inaccurate or unverifiable information removed from my credit reports, yet the bureaus have failed to fulfill this obligation. This ongoing issue has caused significant harm to me financially, as the inaccurate reporting affects my ability to secure credit and other financial opportunities. 

I kindly request the following : 1. A thorough investigation into my disputes with Experian, XXXX, and XXXX to determine whether the proper procedures were followed. 
2. Immediate removal of all inaccurate and unverifiable information from my credit reports, in compliance with FCRA guidelines. 
3. An explanation of the steps the credit bureaus are required to take when conducting a dispute investigation, as well as how they ensure compliance with these steps. 

Attached are copies of my previous dispute letters, responses from the bureaus, and any supporting documentation relevant to my claim. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I trust that the CFPB will take the necessary steps to ensure that my rights under the FCRA are upheld and that the credit bureaus are held accountable for their obligations. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate information reflected on my credit report. The information appears to violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and should be removed or corrected promptly. The FCRA mandates that only accurate, complete, and verifiable information be included in credit reports ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). 

1. Incorrect Accounts Several accounts listed on my credit report appear to be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. Under FCRA Section 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ), I am entitled to dispute information that I believe to be inaccurate, and the credit reporting agency is required to investigate the disputed information within 30 days. I have reason to believe that the following accounts do not belong to me, contain incorrect data, or should no longer be listed due to age or resolution : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$2000.00} - Account # : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Balance : {$1000.00} - Account # : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Balance : {$24000.00} - Account # : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX : XXXX  - Account # : XXXX As required under the FCRA, I request that these accounts be thoroughly investigated and either updated or removed from my credit report if found to be inaccurate. 

2. Unwarranted Inquiries I also dispute the following credit inquiries listed on my report. Under FCRA Section 1681b ( c ), credit inquiries must be made with my permission or under circumstances where I have applied for credit. If these inquiries were not authorized by me or do not meet the requirements for a legitimate credit inquiry, they should be removed from my report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  The FCRA mandates that consumer reporting agencies take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy and privacy of personal information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ). If this information is found to be incorrect or unverifiable, I request that it be deleted from my credit report. 

Please consider this my formal request for an investigation under the FCRA. If the items mentioned above are not removed or corrected, I will seek further action, including filing complaints with the CFPB and taking legal steps to enforce my rights under the law.

XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, FL XXXX TransUnion XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Subject : Request for Assistance in Resolving Human Trafficking ( Debt Bondage ) Case To Whom It May Concern, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing on behalf of a federal award recipient, authorized by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office on Trafficking in Persons ( please refer to the attached Confirmation of Authorization ). This communication is to inform you that the XXXX XXXX has verified and determined that XXXX XXXX is a victim of severe XXXX XXXX as defined under 22 U.S.C. 7102 ( 11 ), or XXXX XXXX as defined under 22 U.S.C. 7102 ( 12 ), in accordance with the requirements for blocking adverse credit information pursuant to 12 C.F.R. 1022.142 ( see attached rule ). 
The XXXX XXXX is a dedicated organization advocating for the rights and protection of those affected by XXXX XXXX, including debt bondage. Our mission is to support survivors of this serious human rights violation and to work collaboratively with various stakeholders to address and combat this critical issue. 
In the course of our work, we have identified a case involving an individual whose credit report reflects an outstanding debt that we strongly believe is tied to debt bondage. The nature of this debt suggests possible coercive or fraudulent practices, resulting in an unfair financial burden on the victim. 
We kindly request your assistance in blocking and removing any adverse accounts that are negatively impacting her credit profile, in compliance with applicable regulations. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to working with you on this important issue. 
Thank you for your consideration.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I was told by a friend that they sent money to me on zelle. I checked my bank account and it was {$160.00} dollars. They asked me to send it to them on XXXX  so I did. A hour later, they messaged me again and said they sent more money, It was {$160.00} again. In total I was sent {$320.00} dollars. I had no idea that this money was coming from someone that was expecting something. That person who sent me the money later messaged me and said that I scammed them out of {$320.00} dollars. Me and that person was going back and forth as I was trying to explain to them that I didnt know that this was fraudulent activity and I wouldve never participated in that if I knew. I contacted the police and they told me that I didnt have anything to worry about because I didnt scam them. I was under the impression that I was helping my friend but turns out that he was getting sent money from another person on zelle and that person scammed the person that was contacting me. I didnt know this before I was sent the money, only after. I later blocked my friend for putting me in the situation and the person who was contacting me as the police told me to do so. I can no longer use zelle now because my account has been flagged and then restricted. Im hoping these screenshots can prove that I didnt intend to take part in these fraudulent activities. Im just trying to use zelle again so please assist me and make that happen for me.

I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred.
