Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I sent several letters of complaints to Amex and have not received a response from any of them. After being a customer of amex since XXXX, I was not provided a rectification for an ongoing credit issue after applying for a new credit card on XX/XX/XXXX and receiving an insulting credit limit after having a hard inquiry on my account. I've been misinformed by several agents, transferred back and forth by agents who do not know the depths of their job and department, and ultimately given no resolution from a customer support manager with Corporate ID XXXX who cheerfully claimed, and I quote, " it is company policy that he is not allowed to provide his last name, and there is no exception to their policy rules '', of which I'm already aware that he misinformed me as well. After being informed my credit limit could only be increased after I received the card, then being ping-ponged between different departments, asked what my preferred credit limit would be only to be told that I'd have to wait 95 days to request an increase, even though they just approved the account and are able to increase it within 30 days of the initial hard inquiry, I am prepared to cancel all XXXX credit cards I have with amex since they have no intention of salvaging this business relationship.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 
I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance. 
I further remind you that, as in White v. XXXX XXXX XXXX, 993 F. Supp. 2d 1154 - Dist. Court, ( CD California 2014 ) ; you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by recklessly failing to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accurate reporting of debts discharged in bankruptcy and by refusing to adequately investigate consumer disputes regarding the status of discharged accounts. 
I have requested that all NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT XXXX provide proof of alleged items. I request to be provided with specifically the original application, contract, note, or another instrument bearing my signature. 
In addition, any the contract signed between NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS & the original creditor, notarized and sworn under penalty and perjury NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS ability to collect this alleged debt.

I request this under 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the false reporting isnt removed ; as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. Nov. 14,1995 ), you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my consumer report I've noticed that there are information and accounts that's unlawfully reporting. I reached out to the creditors to verify this alleged debt in which I asked them to provide me the proper documentation that shows this debt belongs to me. They have yet to respond with any documentation proving that this debt is mine. I receive numerous phone calls throughout the day from the creditors seeking payment in which i'm aware that this violates 15 U.S. Code 1692c - Communication in connection with debt collection. Included in this complaint is a copy of my dispute letter in which I ask Equifax to investigate and remove anything that's reporting inaccurate or unverified. By them reporting this inaccurate information I am being negatively affected and my ability to obtain funding or the proper necessities in life are limited due to bad credit. I am aware that in order for any account to report on my consumer report the creditor must have authorization to share my information in which they never had permission. I have no knowledge of who these creditors are and by them reporting anything to Equifax violates my right to privacy. Equifax has proven to report inaccurate information on many people 's consumer report. They were never given the proper consent to furnish a consumer report on my behalf. 


Violations committed by Equifax and the creditors : 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Congressional findings and statement of purpose 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information 15 U.S. Code 1681a - Definitions ; rules of construction 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy 15 U.S. Code 1692c - Communication in connection with debt collection

Complaint narrative:
I have not supplied proof under the doctrine of estopper by silence, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( mo ) XXXX XXXX XXXX, I presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact therefore exists. There is a fraudulent account on my consumer report that I am highly displeased with. As I was trying to get a home for my family I got denied through my banks due to damages on my consumer credit report. This is defamation of my character, and it's hindering my success. I take my livelihood very seriously, and I expected you all to as well. According to 15 U.S.C & 1681, you are supposed to promote fairness and accuracy on my credit report. But all I see are fraudulent and unauthorized accounts. I have been a part of an XXXX breach, so at this point, you all should be protecting my privacy. This is detrimental to my emotional and XXXX health. Now I do not have access to get a house. I am enforcing my rights, and I expect you to be more ethical with my information. According to 15 U.S. Code 5 16815-2, not one credit reporting agency should be reporting any inaccurate information anyways due to neglect use considering that I was in breach.
