Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute several unauthorized inquiries and a collection/charge-off entry that have been reported on my credit file. These entries are not only inaccurate, but they are also causing significant harm to my credit profile and financial health. The unauthorized inquiries were made without my consent or knowledge, and the collection/charge-off entry is not reflective of my actual credit history or payment behavior. 

As a result, these errors are negatively impacting my XXXX XXXX, which in turn is affecting my ability to secure credit, loans, and other financial opportunities. The presence of such inaccurate information is not only a violation of my rights as a consumer but also a direct threat to my financial stability. I kindly request that these entries be thoroughly investigated and removed from my credit report as soon as possible to restore the accuracy of my financial records.

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a copy of my request through the CFPB.gov site along with mailing a written request that was extremely simple yet the company has failed again to provide the information. 

I asked for the Date of First Delinquency, Date of Last payment, Date of Charge-off and Date of application. Instead this company continues to play games and mailed me a large envelope with copies of statements. This company along with others has this information contained within their systems yet for some reason they do not want to relinquish it.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts resolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither correct nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/scrub> 2024, we had many fraudulent charges on this credit card. We do not use this account, but there were XXXX  charges to an XXXX account we do not own. We disputed the charges and barclays resolved it in our favor. But they credited our account for the same transactions multiple times. Then cleared the balance and later returned all thr credits to our account, putting each original dispute transactions back on our balance, but 3 to 4 times per transactions. We've called about 10 times, and every time we spend hours on the phone being sent from one person to the next until they say a manager needs to call us. They say we'll get a call within 24 to 48 hours. We either never do, or when barclays calls, there is no one on the line. Just silence. I've stayed on the call for 2 plus minutes. All you hear is this call is being recorded and then total silence no one on the call. I've also sent a letter by mail and received a response saying we need to call. Which I did, spent 1 hour and 43 minutes on the call to be told customer service will call me back. Our current balance is almost XXXX of duplicated charges and we can't get any answers.
