Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Derogatory Credit Reporting XXXX  ( Credit Report # XXXX ) To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the derogatory information reported on my credit file related to a closed XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) credit card account. The negative entry appears to be associated with a second card, which is not connected to the current account I hold. 
I have contacted XXXX XXXX multiple times regarding this issue. According to a representative named XXXX, there is no record of any delinquency or unresolved balance. She noted that one of the accounts was closed due to duplication, which suggests that a duplicate card may have been issued without my knowledge.

Due to personal hardship, I was unable to closely monitor my financial accounts during that time and was unaware of the existence of a second card. I was never contacted about any outstanding balance, and I reasonably believed the account had been fully closed and settled. 
I respectfully request that this inaccurate and unjust derogatory mark be removed from my credit reports with XXXX XXXX, and TransUnion. Its continued presence is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a timely resolution and the correction of this error on my credit report.

Sincerely, Consumer

Complaint narrative:
I never gave this debt collector permission to disclose my medical information. The medical account should not be listed on this credit report because it contains private information. This is a clear HIPAA violation due to its failure to comply with any aspect of HIPAA standards and provisions detailed in 45 CFR Parts 160, 162, and 164.

I am asking for your assistance to look into accounts from these companies that are incorrectly reporting late payments.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding Equifax 's mishandling of a dispute concerning fraudulent accounts listed on my credit report. Despite my repeated efforts to follow the proper procedures under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly Section 605B, I continue to encounter inconsistent and misleading guidance from Equifax representatives. 

On XX/XX/year>, I contacted Equifax and informed them that certain accounts on my credit report were fraudulent. I specifically requested that these accounts be blocked and removed under Section 605B of the FCRA. I spoke with a representative from the fraud department who stated that he had submitted disputes under fraud and that the accounts would be removed within four business days. I asked whether I needed to submit any supporting documentation, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report or proof of identity, and he informed me that no documentation was necessary due to the nature of the fraud. He also provided me with a confirmation number : XXXX. 

To ensure accuracy, I called back later the same day and spoke with a female representative who claimed to be a manager in the fraud department. She stated that the previous representative had provided me with incorrect information and that my dispute could not proceed in the manner I was told. 

This situation has been extremely frustrating. I have been given conflicting information, misdirected multiple times, and denied the protections afforded to me under federal law. Additionally, I previously submitted a complaint to the CFPB on XX/XX/year> ( Complaint ID : XXXX ) and uploaded the necessary documentation that had been sent to Equifax. Despite this, the fraudulent accounts remain, and I have not received clear or consistent communication from Equifax on how the matter is being handled. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate Equifaxs handling of my dispute, ensure they comply with Section 605B of the FCRA, and take appropriate action to address the ongoing failure to resolve fraudulent activity on my credit report in a timely and lawful manner.

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion has been blocking my ability to access my credit report online and preventing me from submitting disputes through their online portal. This issue has persisted for weeks, despite multiple attempts to contact their support team and request a resolution. I have several active disputes regarding inaccurate information in my credit file that remain unresolved, and now I am being denied full access to the very report I am trying to correct. This conduct violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 1681g ( right to access ), 1681i ( right to dispute inaccurate information ), and 1681e ( b ) ( requirement for accuracy ). I believe this is an unfair and obstructive practice and request an investigation and enforcement action.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Im reaching out because Ive discovered inaccurate information on my credit report that absolutely should not be there, and I need it addressed immediately.

Let me be blunt : the information in question is either flat-out wrong, misleading, or completely unauthorizedand its presence on my report is doing real harm. Whether its a fraudulent inquiry, wrong personal data, or a misreported account, its not only unacceptable but a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires that all items on a credit report be 100 % accurate, verifiable, and reported with a legally permissible purpose.

I didnt authorize this. I didnt approve it. I didnt even know about it until I pulled my report. And now Im stuck cleaning up someone elses mistakeor worse, their fraud. I take my credit and financial identity very seriously, and I will not allow inaccurate or unauthorized information to sit on my record one day longer than necessary.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the Wells Fargo credit card account listed on my credit report as charged off. This reporting is inaccurate, incomplete, and potentially unlawful under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ). To date, I have not received a Form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt as required under IRS regulations ( 26 U.S.C. 6050P ) for any alleged debt cancellation. If the debt was indeed charged off and forgiven, a 1099-C must be issued ; if not, then the account should not be simultaneously classified as charged off and still collectible. I formally request that you provide the method of verification used to confirm the accuracy of this reporting, including the original contract, the charge-off ledger, and any documents verifying the legitimacy and amount of the alleged debt. Failure to comply with these verification standards may constitute willful misrepresentation and negligent reporting under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o. If the account can not be fully verified with original documentation, I demand that it be permanently deleted from all consumer reporting agencies. Please be advised that if inaccurate or unverifiable information continues to be reported, I reserve the right to pursue legal action against Wells Fargo for damages related to defamation, negligent misrepresentation, and violations of the FCRA and FDCPA.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — 
Company: ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I took out a {$2500.00} installment loan with CashNetUSA on XX/XX/year>2024. I made my first scheduled payment of {$360.00} on XX/XX/year>2024. However, I was unable to afford the next scheduled payment of {$400.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted CashNetUSA, and they pushed the payment to XX/XX/XXXX for a higher amount of {$420.00} due to interest and fees. 

Now, I am facing another payment due on XX/XX/XXXX, totaling approximately {$800.00} which includes the missed XX/XX/XXXX payment plus the current due amount. I can not afford to pay {$800.00} at once, and Ive asked them to push this payment to the next due date, but this continues to increase the interest and total balance. 

I originally borrowed {$2500.00}, and despite paying on time initially and communicating openly, I now owe around {$3500.00} a {$1000.00} increase caused by accumulating interest. This cycle is unsustainable and feels borderline predatory. 

I am not refusing to pay the loan. I am simply asking for the interest to be frozen so I can catch up and pay the balance off in good faith without it growing faster than I can afford. The current approach feels exploitative and financially damaging. 

I have an email thread where they denied my request.
