Complaint narrative:
I applied for a loan with XXXX XXXX. I sent XXXX payments of {$660.00} to them from XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. After completing these payments this company never responded to me emails or phones call. Now my emails and phone calls dont go through. I disputed these transactions with CASHAPP and they have refused to return my money to me when they state reasons for filing a dispute are paying for good or service and not receiving them. This is clearly what happened as this company will not return my money. Cashapp has gotten my disput wrong and I should be refunded my money back for these payments.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a 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 attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. 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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

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.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Unverified Debt Reporting and FDCPA/FCRA Violations Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX am submitting this complaint regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which is currently reporting an alleged debt on my credit file without proper validation. 

On XX/XX/year>, I formally requested validation of the alleged debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692g ). My letter requested documentation to prove the accuracy, ownership, and legitimacy of the account they are reporting. 

To date, XXXX has failed to provide any proper validation. Despite this, the company continues to report the debt to the credit bureaus, in violation of both the FDCPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), which requires that only accurate and verifiable information be furnished to credit reporting agencies. 

Their failure to provide validation while continuing to report this account is damaging my credit, preventing me from accessing fair credit opportunities, and constitutes an unfair and unlawful collection practice. 

Requested Resolution : XXXX removal of this account from my credit reports with Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. 

Written confirmation from XXXX XXXX XXXX that this debt will no longer be reported, sold, or transferred. 

XXXX that no further collection activity will occur without proper validation. 

I have attached copies of my original validation request, proof of delivery, and my recent credit report showing the continued reporting of this account. 

Thank you for your assistance in ensuring compliance with consumer protection laws. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because TransUnion has willfully and negligently failed to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ) regarding fraudulent accounts on my credit report. Despite my prior disputes and submission of an FTC Identity Theft Report, valid identification, and supporting documents, they have refused to properly investigate or remove identity theft accounts. This is a direct violation of FCRA 611 ( a ) ( failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation ) and FCRA 605B ( failure to block and delete fraudulent information ). Their continued reporting of these accounts has caused ongoing damage to my credit, financial stability, and reputation. I demand immediate deletion of all identity theft accounts listed in my disputes. I am requesting that the CFPB order TransUnion to fully comply with federal law, delete these fraudulent accounts without further delay, and provide written confirmation. Failure to act should also subject them to additional enforcement and penalties for willful noncompliance. XXXX XXXX CARD SER XXXX & XXXX XXXX SERVICES XXXX

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
The credit card bill was OVERPAID by us for {$940.00}.

Chase Bank did not return the overpayment of funds to us. We finally got an acknowledgement from the Bank in a letter that they owe us the money, and if we did not request it back, it would go to the State as unclaimed funds. We followed the process to get our money back and had it sent via fax by a Bank branch as requested. 

We waited XXXX ridiculous weeks they required to return the money, but they did not send it. 

Depending on who you talk to, they are saying that they are having problems getting their faxes, they have no plans in place to give us the money, and they don't owe us what they claimed they owe us - no XXXX people say the same thing. 

It took me XXXX hours at a branch of the bank to get them to send the documents so they could not say they were not sent. They said it would take up to XXXX hours for them to get the fax transmittal document after faxing the documents, so I had to go back to get that even though they tried to tell me I did not need it. 

They still won't give us the money.
