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.

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 <REDACTED> 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 <REDACTED> you an additional <REDACTED> 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.

<DATE> Subject : Request for Investigation and Description of Investigation Process Disputed Account on My Credit Report ( <REDACTED> ) Dear CFPB, I am writing to request a detailed description of the investigation process followed by your agency regarding the disputed <REDACTED> account on my credit report. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies are obligated to provide a description of the investigation within 15 days of receiving a consumer 's dispute. Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified discrepancies regarding late payment entries for this account that are inaccurate. Specifically : <REDACTED> : Reports 6 late payments between <REDACTED> and <DATE> ; however, not all these payments are visible in the credit report. Experian : Reports 10 late payments between <REDACTED> and <DATE> ; however, the report does not show all these late entries. <REDACTED> : Reports 5 late payments between <REDACTED> and <DATE> ; yet, several of these payments are not clearly documented in the report. Account Details : Account Number : <REDACTED> High Balance : {$400.00} ( <REDACTED> and Experian ), {$300.00} ( <REDACTED> Date Opened : <DATE> ( <REDACTED> ), <DATE> ( Experian and <REDACTED> Balance Owed : {$0.00} Payment Status : Current Account Status : Open Creditor Remarks : <REDACTED> " Dispute resolved; reported by grantor. '' Experian : " Account was in dispute- now resolved - reported by subscriber. '' <REDACTED> : " Account previously in dispute- now resolved by data furnisher. '' Basis for Dispute : To the best of my knowledge and records, I have consistently paid this account on time in accordance with the agreed-upon terms. The reported late payments are inconsistent with my actual payment history, and several of the payments listed by your bureaus do not appear in the credit report, which raises concerns about accuracy and completeness in reporting. Under the terms of my agreement with <REDACTED> , all payments were made on time and in full. As such, the account should accurately reflect a status of Paid As Agreed Never Late. The inaccurate reporting of late payments undermines the integrity of my credit report and misrepresents my financial responsibility. Request for Resolution : Correction of Errors : Update the account to reflect its accurate status of Paid As Agreed Never Late. Documentation : Provide documented proof supporting the claim of late payments on this account, including specific dates, amounts, and any relevant communication. Investigation Procedure : Provide a detailed description of the investigation procedure used to verify these late payments, per 15 USC 1681i. Supporting Evidence : I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the discrepancies and inconsistencies for your review. Legal Obligations : As mandated under 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), my consumer report must not include inaccurate information. Additionally, reasonable procedures, as required under 15 USC 1666 ( b ), should have been in place to ensure timely mailing of statements and accuracy in reporting. Failure to address these inaccuracies in a timely and thorough manner constitutes a violation of the FCRA. If your investigation can not verify the reported late payments, I demand the account be updated promptly to reflect accurate reporting with the status Paid As Agreed Never Late. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a resolution within 30 days of receipt of this letter, as required by law. Please confirm receipt of this dispute and provide updates on the investigation. Sincerely, <REDACTED>

I had a car loan with SunTrust Bank. The payment was made each month automatically by <REDACTED> . Suntrust Bank was purchased by BB & T Bank and the new bank, Truist, did not accept the electronic transfer of the funds for the car payment. <REDACTED> has to mail a paper check to Truist <REDACTED> month. In <REDACTED> I was notified by Truist that the car payment had not been paid the previous month. I contacted <REDACTED> and I was told that the car payment had been sent 4 weeks eariler, but the check was never cashed. I contacted Truist and I was told I needed to authorize an immediate debit from my checking account, to pay the past due payment, and I was told to have <REDACTED> Bank issue a " stop payment '' on the missing check. I did exectly as they asked and the payment was debited from my <REDACTED> account. Evidently, later the same day, Truist located the missing check and discovered a " stop payment '' order was issued on that check. Trusit then charged me a {$25.00} fee for the " stop payment '' even though that is exactly what they had told me to do. When I asked for the fee to be waived, I ws told that only a supervisor could do that. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told that was not allowed. I then asked for someone from Truist to contact me. I have never been contacted, and the fee has not been waived.

I am writing to formally dispute the presence of unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and inquiries on my credit report, which I received on [ Date of Credit Report ]. After a careful review, I have identified multiple accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate, authorize, or recognize. These entries appear to have been added to my credit report in error or as a result of fraudulent activity.The inclusion of these erroneous items has unfairly impacted my credit score and overall financial standing. This matter is causing significant concern, as my credit history is being unjustly damaged by information that is neither accurate nor reflective of my true financial activities.

Hi, my name is <REDACTED> Ive been doing everything Im supposed to. On <DATE>, I mailed a Method of Verification letter ( MOV ) to the credit bureaus asking how they verified a negative account that I already disputed earlier through an FCRA 1681i dispute letter. I also previously sent them an Equifax Data Breach Letter because my personal information was compromised, and I believe thats how this account ended up on my credit in the first place. I attached screenshots and my FTC Identity Theft Report too. As of today, they have not responded to my MOV letter at all. They also never told me how they verified the account, and whats worse they didnt even mark it as disputed on my credit report after I followed the law and sent in my official dispute. Thats a violation of my rights under federal law, and it honestly makes me feel like I dont matter to them. Im not a lawyer. Im just a regular person trying to clean up my credit. It feels like they have all the power and they dont care about people like me. Im doing everything I can, and its like Im being ignored.

I am writing to bring to your attention a matter concerning the inaccurate reporting of information related to my account. Pursuant to the provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681s-2 ( b ) regarding the Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies, I wish to dispute the presence of inaccurate information on my credit report. The specific account in question is <REDACTED> Account # <REDACTED>. According to my recent investigation, it was found that this item was inaccuracy and deleted by <REDACTED> and <REDACTED> due to inaccuracies in the reporting. It has come to my attention that, despite this deletion, your agency continues to furnish this inaccurate account information on my credit report. Per the aforementioned statute, if an investigation reveals incompleteness or inaccuracies, the furnisher of information is obligated to notify the other credit reporting agencies. In this case, <REDACTED> and <REDACTED> has already taken corrective action by deleting the inaccurate account.

Dear Legal Department, This credit dispute is being submitted as a new evidence dispute. The accounts that are being disputed, does not belong to me. Below is my sworn statement concerning these credit issues. It is my sworn statement that I declare under penalty of perjury ( " under the laws of the United States " if executed outside of the United States '' ) that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Further, I certify that I am qualified and authorized to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and a willful misstatement or omissions of material facts constitutes a federal criminal violation punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable l1S perjury under 18U.S.C. 1621. The tradelines listed below are items currently within my credit file, and none of these are related to any transaction that was made by me. It is my official statement that someone and/or several people have opened these accounts and made transactions on these accounts without my knowledge or authorization, my personal information has been used to obtain goods, services, or money : and the person ( s ) responsible for creating these accounts. I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, which I have enclosed within this dispute package. I have reached out to all of these creditors and have made them aware that these accounts were fraudulently opened, and they have known this for several months, but have yet to remove these accounts from my credit reports. Some of the creditors have been cooperative and have removed the accounts, but others have refused to remove the fraudulent accounts. Therefore, I have come to you, the credit reporting agencies to resolve these issues. The law says that you must block these accounts while being investigated, and I expect that you will do so. I made an attempt to file a police report, but I was informed by my county that it did not constitute as an emergency and that they would not file the report because I didn't have any information on the person who used my information, nor did I know how my information was obtained by this person. In addition, it has also been discovered that these STUDENT LOAN ACCOUNTS were also being listed within my credit file. The fact is that these Student Loan Accounts are not mine. I did not open these accounts and did not even seek a high education or attend college. So, these accounts do not belong to me.

I am writing to let you know your agency is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I have spoke with a Consumer Law Attorney and have studied the FCRA as well as the CFPB <REDACTED> opinions for FACT checking. What I learned is the items on my credit report should not be reporting at all without my consent. The only person to give consent is the consumer and that is me!! You are allowing improper use of credit reporting against what <REDACTED> has written. The consumer controls the credit reporting not the agency. It is the policy of <REDACTED> that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers non public personal information.

I am fully aware of my rights under the FCRA, and I will not tolerate <REDACTED> reckless disregard for federal law. In <REDACTED> , the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reinforced the strict limitations imposed by the FCRA , ruling that consumer reporting agencies can not include certain adverse information beyond the statutory timeframe. Your failure to adhere to these reporting guidelines constitutes willful noncompliance, as outlined in 15 U.S.C. 1681n, exposing <REDACTED> to legal liability for damages, including punitive remedies. Because of <REDACTED> negligent and unlawful reporting, I have suffered financial and professional harm, including the loss of employment opportunities due to inaccurate or outdated negative information being improperly included in my consumer report. This is unacceptable, and I demand the immediate deletion of the following erroneous and outdated items from my credit report : Accounts. <REDACTED> Procedure in Case of Disputed Accuracy- INCOMPLETE AND INACCURATE INFORMATION <REDACTED> Account Number : <REDACTED> Please remove it from my credit report. 6.

There is some inaccurate information reporting. <REDACTED> Account Number : <REDACTED> Please remove it from my credit report. Delete this account. Oh by the way I hope you understand that the FCRA states in the section below Adverse Action Notice : I also want to bring to your attention that the continued reporting of this unvalidated debt has had a significant adverse impact on my life. I was recently denied credit when applying for a job, as the employer conducts a credit check as part of their hiring process. The adverse information you reported contributed directly to my disqualification. This constitutes an adverse action under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681m. The denial of employment due to this unverified and potentially inaccurate information is not only distressing but may also be unlawful if the debt is not properly validated. As a result, I am requesting that you immediately investigate this matter and cease all collection activities until you can provide proper validation. Relevant Case Law Supporting My Request : 1. <REDACTED> , <REDACTED> ( <REDACTED> . <REDACTED> ) This case affirms the requirement that a debt collector must provide validation of the debt upon request and must cease collection efforts until proper validation is provided. 2. <REDACTED> , <REDACTED> ( <REDACTED>. <REDACTED> . <REDACTED> ) In this case, the court ruled that if a debt collector fails to validate a debt as requested, they can not continue to pursue collection activities. 3. <REDACTED> , <REDACTED> ( <REDACTED> . <REDACTED> ) This case highlights the necessity for a debt collector to provide accurate and complete information about the debt in question when validation is requested. Failure to comply with my request may constitute a violation of both the FDCPA and FCRA, and I reserve the right to pursue legal remedies to protect my rights. Please respond to this request within 30 days, as required by law. Pursuant to my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692 ( g ), I am formally requesting validation of this debt. According to the FDCPA, I am entitled to request and obtain verification of any alleged debt that a debt collector claims I owe. Specifically, I request : 1. Proof that your company is legally entitled to collect this debt. This includes any contracts, agreements, or assignments that show that you have the authority to collect on this debt. 2. Detailed accounting of the alleged debt, including a breakdown of the amount you claim I owe and how it was calculated. 3. Proof that I am the correct debtor. This includes any signed agreements or contracts that bear my signature and that demonstrate my legal obligation to pay this debt. If you claim these items are 100 % accurate and verifiable, then I need you to provide me with copies of any documentation associated with these items bearing my signature, as I believe none exists. When you find no signed agreement bearing my signature, I need you to remove these items from my file. Please note Im sending this letter certified to protect my rights. Ive researched online that you make a habit to not comply with the above listed FCRA statute. If you choose to ignore my request to block these items, I will be referring this matter to my attorney for further action. Please do not make this a litigious matter... Lastly, you have 30 days to complete this investigation, as per Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), and I am keeping careful record of your actions, including your Method of Verification. I do not consent to <REDACTED> or any means of automated verification. Sincerely, <REDACTED>

I sent in a letter to the company to have them validate the debt. I specially ask the to attach copies of agreement with their client that authorizes them to collect on the alleged debt, agreement that bears signature of the alleged debtor and a complete payment history on the account so as to prove that the debt amount they wish to collect is correct. They never sent me neither of those documents. The only documentation that they provided to me was a bill from <REDACTED> bill cycle date <DATE>-<DATE>. THAT IS NOT PROPER VALIDATION!

I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL OF THESE FRAUDULENT ACCOUNTS FROM MY CREDIT REPORT, AS I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THEIR INCLUSION. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THIS INACCURATE INFORMATION BE DELETED PROMPTLY TO ENSURE THE ACCURACY AND INTEGRITY OF MY CREDIT FILE.

On Saturday <DATE> someone accessed my account without my knowledge and attempted to send themselves money through <REDACTED> with the name <REDACTED> . On Sunday <DATE> I called USAA and informed them, they told me that my account had been compromised and that they fixed it. Later that day my account was once again compromised and a deposit of {$2000.00} was made. The person was named <REDACTED> , they sent themselves {$330.00} through <REDACTED> once more. The moment I realized someone was in my account I called USAA in tears. The created a fraud claim and told me to call back on Monday <DATE> at <REDACTED> my time for an update. I called today Monday <DATE> and was informed that the fraud department found that it wasnt fraud. I was then told to create a dispute because the person on the line didnt understand how it wasnt fraud. I was then on the phone with USAA for an hour and a half being transferred by multiple people just to be told that they will open yet another fraud claim as well as a dispute. Before this my account had {$140.00} my account now has - {$190.00} that I can not afford due to being laid off cause of COVID-19. They told me it would take YET ANOTHER 1-2 business days to figure out what has been happening. USAA has been no help throughout this and has put me through more emotional damage and trouble than the initial experience.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with <REDACTED> and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

<DATE> Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. Account Information : Creditor 's Name : <REDACTED> Account Number : <REDACTED> Dates of Late Payments : <DATE>, <DATE>, <DATE> and <DATE>. Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by <REDACTED> . I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : I made my payments on time. The payments were due on the <REDACTED> of each month, and both payments were submitted on the <REDACTED> of the respective months. I have included bank statements and payment confirmations to verify that the payments were made before the due dates. There appears to have been an internal error by <REDACTED> , where the payments were not correctly processed or credited to my account on time, leading to these inaccurate late payment reports. Additionally, no notification or communication was sent to inform me of a late payment, which further supports that the reported delinquency is in error. Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. Sincerely, <REDACTED>

I am filing this complaint against Affirm Inc. for inaccurate credit reporting. On <DATE>, and <DATE>, Affirm charged off two of my accounts and transferred the debts to third-party collection agencies, <REDACTED> and <REDACTED>. Despite no longer owning the debts, Affirm continues to report a balance owed on my credit report, which violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ). I contacted Affirm on <DATE> to dispute the incorrect balance reporting and requested that my credit report be updated to reflect a {$0.00} balance and a " Transferred/Sold '' remark as required by law. Affirm Acknowledged the Debt Was Sold : In a written conversation, Affirm confirmed that my accounts were sold to collection agencies. Affirm Has Not Corrected the Reporting : Despite my dispute, as of <DATE> via certified mail, my credit report still incorrectly shows an outstanding balance under Affirms name, causing damage to my credit profile. My credit report falsely reflects active debts with Affirm, even though they no longer own the accounts. This misreporting is lowering my credit score and affecting my financial opportunities. Affirms failure to follow proper reporting standards is misleading and illegal under the FCRA. If Affirm does not correct this inaccurate reporting, I request that the CFPB investigate Affirms credit reporting practices and take enforcement action to ensure compliance with the FCRA.

I pulled my credit file on <REDACTED> and saw that Ally Financial pulled my credit report without my permission. I called and spoke with a rep in the customer service department <REDACTED> agent # XXXXand he stated that he would send it to the fraud department and after investigation they will contact the credit bureaus. The problem I have with this, they only asked for my name and address, which I provided. I explained to him that that was generic information and I couldn't imagine that that's all the info he needed. In there phone system I put my social security number and no account popped up. He couldn't explain to me why Ally pulled my credit on <DATE> without my consent ; therefore, I have placed freezes back on my credit report and I am filing this complaint. I need this off my credit report and this company to be held accountable fir fraudulent practices.

It is improper to penalize me for events that occurred more than seven years ago on a zero-balance account <REDACTED> Inquiry Date : <DATE> Hard Inquiry Issue : This appears to be a duplicate of the previous inquiry on the same date, possibly due to system error or improper pull Law & Instruction : FCRA 607 and 611 provide for the correction or removal of duplicated or inaccurate information in a consumers file Story : Multiple entries for the same inquiry date are misleading and damaging to my score. I did not approve multiple inquiries and request immediate deletion of the duplicate record I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate these matters thoroughly and take appropriate enforcement or corrective action to ensure my rights as a consumer are protected. These inaccuracies have caused serious damage to my credit score and financial wellbeing, and they remain unresolved despite my good faith efforts to communicate with the furnishers and the credit bureaus.

I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

I am writing to file a complaint regarding specific negative items reported on my consumer credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified inaccuracies in the reporting of these negative items, which have adversely impacted my financial standing. Despite numerous attempts to address these inaccuracies with the reporting agencies, the negative items remain unchanged, affecting my ability to secure credit and loans. I believe these inaccuracies stem from erroneous reporting or misunderstanding of my financial history.

On <DATE>, my husband and I purchased an automobile at <REDACTED> in <REDACTED> . We authorized <REDACTED> to pull credit. They mistakenly pulled the credit for <REDACTED> twice through <REDACTED> . My husband 's credit was locked and they were trying to pull a joint application inquiry, so it pulled my information and when my husband unlocked his credit report, they pulled my information again. I tried to correct this with <REDACTED> and they said I would need to contact the credit bureau. The credit bureaus said I would need to file a complaint so they could remove it from my report. I did not authorize 2 credit pulls. Both were on the same day. I was recently turned down for credit due to this duplicated pull. On <DATE>, I only authorized <REDACTED> to pull credit. <REDACTED> , <REDACTED> , <REDACTED> and COAF were not authorized to pull my credit. The auto dealership, <REDACTED> of <REDACTED> somehow submitted the application, which was intended only for <REDACTED> , to be sent to multiple credit companies. These companies did not have my known authorization to inquire about a loan. On <DATE>, I visited a dealership to purchase a recreational vehicle. I authorized <REDACTED> to pull credit. I did take a loan out through <REDACTED> for the purchase. However, I never authorized the dealership to use multiple lenders. The dealership discussed the loan terms through <REDACTED> prior to me authorizing the credit application with <REDACTED>. An unauthorized credit pull was made by <REDACTED> to and shows up through a <REDACTED> Credit report twice during the day. I was told to contact the credit bureau to clear up the reporting matter. The credit bureau said I needed to file a complaint so they could document the matter and remove the duplicate inquiry from my report. These unauthorized credit inquiries recently caused a denial of credit through <REDACTED> due to too many inquiries. My credit score is above <REDACTED> and I have managed my credit for over 30 years with no derogatory issues. My debt to income is adequate for credit. These credit inquiries caused a financial loss of {$40.00} due to the promotional offer from <REDACTED> that was declined for reasons stated above. <REDACTED> was contacted and confirmed that the denial was a systemic decline due to the number of inquiries. Furthermore, the purchase that was to be made with the credit was for medical reasons and delayed the delivery of necessary accommodations for my father.

These errors violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to ensure accuracy, consistency, and completeness in credit reporting. Discrepancies Identified : Inconsistent High Balance : High balance reported as {$270.00} contradicts the secured credit card limit of {$500.00}. Missing Verification Dates : <REDACTED> and Equifax fail to provide a " Last Verified '' date. Conflicting Account Remarks : <REDACTED> and <REDACTED> list contradictory remarks ( " Charged off as bad debt '' vs. " Dispute resolved '' ), while Equifax adds further discrepancies ( " Account was in dispute - now resolved '' ). Erroneous Payment History : Equifax lists 64 instances of being 90 days late, which is implausible given the timeline. Account Type Variations : Inconsistent classification of the account type ( e.g., " Secured credit card '' vs. " Credit line secured '' ). Date of Last Activity Discrepancies : <REDACTED> ( <DATE> ), <REDACTED> ( <DATE> ), and Equifax ( <DATE> ) report conflicting dates.

<REDACTED> , Texas, <REDACTED> <DATE> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) <REDACTED> , IA <REDACTED> Subject : CFPB Late Payment Removal - Final Request Dear CFPB Representative, I am filing a formal complaint against <REDACTED>, <REDACTED> and TransUnion for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for account # <REDACTED>. Despite multiple written requests for correction ( letters dated <DATE><REDACTED> ] and <DATE><REDACTED> ), my requests have been ignored, constituting a violation of multiple federal statutes, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). Violations Committed : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Violations : Under 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The continued reporting of this inaccurate late payment demonstrates a failure to comply with this requirement. 15 U.S. Code 1681i mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of consumer credit files. In my case, this obligation has not been upheld. 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) requires that consumer reporting agencies maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy in credit reports. 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) states that certain transactions and experiences should not be considered part of a consumer report if they do not meet specific criteria. Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Violations : The TILA emphasizes the necessity of accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The wrongful reporting of a late payment has damaged my creditworthiness, causing undue financial harm. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ) Violations : 15 U.S. Code 6801, 15 U.S. Code 6802, and 15 U.S. Code 6803 require financial institutions to protect consumer privacy and ensure the accuracy of financial reporting. The mishandling of my credit information suggests a failure to meet these obligations. Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : This act holds creditors accountable for providing timely statements and preventing unfair penalties. The continued presence of this late payment on my report contradicts this protection. Identity Fraud and Misreporting - 18 U.S. Code 1028A : The continued reporting of false information could be classified as a misrepresentation of identity or fraudulent reporting, which carries legal consequences under federal law. Formal Request for Correction : I formally demand the immediate removal of the inaccurate late payment notation from my credit report. If this issue is not resolved immediately, I will escalate my complaint further, including potential legal action and filing additional complaints with relevant agencies. Reference to PAANL ( Paid As Agreed Never Late ) : The terms of our agreement have always been met, and the account in question must reflect the status of " Paid As Agreed, Never Late. '' I request documented proof supporting the claim of late payments, including : Dates, amounts, and all communication records indicating that the payments were actually late. In the absence of valid proof, I expect an immediate correction of my credit report. If, after investigation, you fail to provide verifiable proof of late payments, I demand that the account be updated immediately to reflect its accurate status as " Paid As Agreed, Never Late. '' Per the FCRA, I expect a timely investigation and a written response within 30 days from the receipt of this dispute letter. Failure to comply will be considered a direct violation of multiple federal laws. Errors & Discrepancies Identified : Inconsistent Account Status : TransUnion reports the account as Closed, while <REDACTED> and <REDACTED> report it as Paid. This inconsistency should be corrected to reflect the same status across all bureaus. Conflicting Payment Status and Delinquency Reporting : The account is marked as Current in all three bureaus, yet the two-year payment history contradicts this by showing late payments ( 30 days late in <REDACTED> and <REDACTED> ). If the account is current, there should be no late payment history. This is a direct violation of 15 U.S.C 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which prohibits furnishers from reporting inaccurate information. Date of Last Reported Activity Inconsistencies : TransUnion states the last reported date as <DATE>, while <REDACTED> reports <DATE>. The reporting date should be uniform across all bureaus to ensure accurate data. Missing or Misleading Comments : <REDACTED> : Closed or paid account/<REDACTED> balance, while TransUnion simply states Closed and <REDACTED> does not provide any comment. The comment section should consistently reflect that the account is closed and paid in full. Incorrect Payment History : The two-year payment history for <REDACTED> and <REDACTED> shows late payments ( 30 days late ), even though the account is marked as Current. This contradicts the payment status and needs immediate correction. Resolution Requested : Immediate removal of the late payment notation from my credit report. Written confirmation of the correction. Acknowledgment of compliance with federal laws. I trust that you will promptly rectify this issue and ensure my credit report reflects accurate information. Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter. Sincerely, <REDACTED>

On <DATE>, I received a debt collection phone call from the firm, <REDACTED> of <REDACTED> , <REDACTED> , <REDACTED> ( no last name given ) stated that <REDACTED>, the company managing my long-term <REDACTED> benefits, had turned over debt collection to them for " <REDACTED> offset.

He said that his collection company would intercede with <REDACTED> on my behalf about the debt, and that he'd be " checking on '' the debt every few weeks! I tried explaining this directly to my <REDACTED> claims <REDACTED>, <REDACTED> , that referring me to a collection agency about money I was never paid without even asking me about it, she said that a separate department of her company handled " recovery '' of " overpayment '' of Social Security benefits and that she would ask someone to call me about this issue. <REDACTED> , a <REDACTED> from <REDACTED> , called me and said much the same as <REDACTED>. I wrote a letter, which I mailed and emailed to <REDACTED> asking for a transcript of the recorded phone call during which I clearly and repeatedly dispute this debt in its entirety.

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

<DATE> Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. Account Information : Creditor 's Name : <REDACTED> Account Number : <REDACTED> Dates of Late Payments : <DATE> Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by <REDACTED> . I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Reason for Dispute : The payment was made on time, but it appears that there was an internal processing delay that caused the payment to be recorded late. I have attached bank statements that confirm the payment was withdrawn from my account before the due date. Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. Sincerely, <REDACTED> .

Failure to Notify in a Timely Manner : <REDACTED> failed to notify affected consumers, including myself, in a timely and transparent manner, violating legal standards under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.

I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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.

On <DATE>, <REDACTED> ( <REDACTED>, <REDACTED> ) responded through the CFPB portal stating they would not delete the entry, citing policy and claiming it must remain under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Berkshire is refusing deletion on the grounds of internal policy not legal obligation while Ive made multiple efforts to settle and resolve the issue amicably. I was initially open to settling the account for {$570.00}, but now request full deletion with no payment based on : Misrepresentation of FCRA obligations Denial of modern banking tools like <REDACTED> goodwill attempts and ignored legal discretion Ive suffered harm including account denials and bias in screening due to this reporting.

I submitted a credit repair request to a company, but they failed to respond within the 30-day timeframe required by law. This failure to respond has negatively impacted my credit and caused difficulties for me. I am now considering submitting a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), in order to address the situation and protect my rights as a consumer.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the <REDACTED>, Experian, and <REDACTED> data breach.

Collection From : <REDACTED> I am filing this complaint regarding an unresolved issue with a former apartment complex where I resided from round <DATE>. Recently, I was contacted about an alleged outstanding balance owed to this apartment company. I immediately requested written documentation or proof of the debt in order to validate the claim before taking any further action. However, I was informed by representatives of the apartment company that they were unable to provide any records or documentation regarding my lease, payments, or account balance because the property management team had changed since I moved out, and they no longer had access to my information. This situation is highly concerning and problematic for the following reasons : Lack of Documentation : I am unable to verify the accuracy or validity of the alleged debt, which puts me in an unfair position. Without proper documentation, I can not determine whether the amount claimed is correct, whether any charges were added in error, or if this debt is even legitimate. Consumer Rights : Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I have the right to request verification of any debt that is being claimed. It is unacceptable that the apartment company and/or any collection agency can not provide proper verification. Potential Impact to Credit : If this unverifiable debt is reported to credit agencies or sold to a collection agency without appropriate validation, it could unjustly harm my credit rating and financial standing. Negligence of Record Keeping : It is concerning that the apartment company did not maintain or properly transition important tenant records when management changed. Regardless of staffing changes, consumer records and financial documentation should be retained and made available to former tenants upon request, particularly when disputes arise. I respectfully request that the CFPB review this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that : The apartment company and/or any third-party collectors cease all collection activities until proper validation of the debt can be provided. The company be held accountable for failure to maintain essential records that impact consumers. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, <REDACTED>

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove any items which is found to be fraud due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Please remove these items. <REDACTED> <DATE>

In <DATE>, I was the victim of a fraud scheme involving someone impersonating Wells Fargo. <REDACTED> I received a text from a five-digit number stating there was suspicious activity on my account. I replied that I didnt recognize the transaction. Minutes later, I received a call from someone claiming to be from Wells Fargo. The caller sounded legitimatethere was hold music, and they confirmed personal details like my phone number. They told me there were three suspicious charges on my credit card in Florida and instructed me to temporarily transfer funds from my credit card to my checking account to secure the money. I complied. Then they asked me to download a program to my computer that would give them access to my account. At that point, I became suspicious, pretended to take a call from my husband, and contacted Wells Fargo immediately. Wells Fargo confirmed the call was not from them and that the only unusual activity was the transfer I had just made. I did not share my Social Security number, home address, or account numbers. Wells Fargo told me to report the fraud and file a claim, which I did. They temporarily closed both my debit and credit accounts and issued me new cards. The fraud claim was eventually resolved, and in <DATE>, Wells Fargo refunded all fees. However, the issue resurfaced. Despite the resolved claim, I began receiving monthly cash advance chargeseven though I never took out a cash advance. I called Wellsfargo again, trying to figure out why did they start charging me on cash advanced again and was informed that Wells Fargo had failed to properly update my checking account number back in <REDACTED> despite the fact my cards have been replaced 23 times since then. Most frustratingly, on <DATE>, I received a letter stating that my claim was denied because no fraudulent activity could be identified. Yet, all of this started when I reported fraud within 5 minutes of it happening. Today, I spent over an hour on the phone with Wells Fargo trying to reach someone who could explain why these cash advance charges have resumed, and no one could help. Ive been a loyal Wells Fargo customer for 16 years, and I dont believe I deserve to be treated like this or charged for activity I did not authorize. I'm not a criminal. I did everything right : I acted fast, reported the fraud, cooperated fully, and even went in person to follow up. Yet the issue continues, and now my claim is being denied without proper explanation. I respectfully request the CFPB to review this situation and assist in getting Wells Fargo to properly resolve the recurring charges and fully correct the impact of this fraud incident.

Reported late payments was in <DATE>. <REDACTED> reported me late to the credit bureaus adversely affected my credit. <REDACTED> was prohibited in reporting me late as I was making modified, on-time payments as a part of the deferral agreement, and the agreement was made under the protection of the Cares Act regarding credit reporting an scores. <REDACTED> was not supposed to report me late as long as I was making payments under the deferral agreement. According to the law, when you make an agreement with your creditor to modify repayment, the creditor needs to report to the credit bureaus that you are current on your loan. <REDACTED> failed to do that and reported me late severely damaging my credit score and costing me several business loans and credit cards. The Cares Act was extended by Congress in 2022.
