Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I receive d a copy of my credit report with the intention of trying to improve my credit and take care of my responsibilities and noticed a few accounts that i wanted a little more explanation on. I am not saying they are reporting right or wrong. I am just saying that I am not 100 percent sure if they are. I also read something called the Fair Credit Reporting Act where it said by law, I had rights to challenge anything I am not sure is accurate. Some of the people reporting things on me, I have never heard of which made me write to you all. 

Are you familiar with something called 15 U.S.C Sec. 168i ( a )? I heard that if you can't provide proof, these accounts must be deleted. Well I want these accounts deleted if they are not 100 percent right and correct, So, would you please check on these and get back to me? I saw on a Credit Site and Board where this lawyer said you have 30 days to compete this investigation. Please investigate the following accounts and remove them if anything is missing or not correct on them

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

I am filing a complaint against TransUnion for failing to conduct a reasonable investigation into inaccurate items on my credit report, which is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/2024, I mailed a dispute letter to TransUnion via XXXX certified mail ( tracking # XXXX ) requesting an investigation into inaccurate items on my credit report. In addition to disputing these items, I also disputed incorrect personal information listed on my credit report. 

To ensure that TransUnion could verify my identity and address, I included a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill with my current address. 

However, on XX/XX/2024, I received a response from TransUnion stating the following : We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. 

According to the FCRA, TransUnion is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation when the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file is disputed by the consumer. It appears that TransUnion has failed to meet this legal obligation by not properly processing my dispute and not conducting a reasonable investigation into the inaccurate information on my report. 

I am attaching a copy of my dispute letter sent to TransUnion, along with their response, as proof of their failure to act.

Company: Westlake Services, LLC (CO)

I initially was trying to find out how voluntary repossession works. The gentleman I spoke with would give me any information untill I said yes that I do want to do a voluntary repossession. Since XXXX the company West lake financial has has called me at least 2 to 3 times almost every day since. I have tried to talk to them several times but due to poor communication between myself and their representatives I dont feel like any issues have been as resolved as they could be. I believe it was XXXX that the voluntary repossession took place. Several days ago I received a letter letting me know the car would go to auction. I knew that letter would come. As I am writing this I just received a call from them. It is the second call of the day. They are calling at a rate that has been feeling like harassment for awhile now. I am now waiting for the car to be sold at auction to find out what the deficiency balance is going to be. Then I can work towards getting that paid off.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX 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.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in 60 days to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

I'm filing this report because I have been a victim of identity theft for a very long time. I have literally contacted every creditor regarding this matter because this issue has been taking place for a very long time. My personal information has been compromised from the first month that I arrived to the United States. I arrived to the US at the state of XXXX  at the end of XX/XX/XXXX and ever since I lived in the state of XXXX. At XX/XX/XXXX, identity thieves used my personal information such as social security, name, date of birth and etc. to open multiple accounts with XXXX XXXX. Later, they used my information to open an auto lease using my personal information with BMW FINANCIAL SERVICES. When I contacted BMW FINANCIAL SERVICES to inform them of this fraudulent activity recently they told me there is a balance over {$8000.00} and it needs to be paid by me. I informed them that I never leased or bought a vehicle with BMW because I can not afford a BMW and that is the harsh reality. However, they still insist that the account is mine. I never signed any documents with BMW and I never leased a vehicle with them because I know my financial capabilities and I can not afford a BMW. BMW is refusing to even conduct an investigation. This is an identity theft matter and BMW representatives are taking this as a joke and not even complying with my request to remove this derogatory account from my records. If this is the case of an identity theft or case of mistaken identity it does not matter to me. I request that this vehicle loan is removed from my records because I never leased or bought a BMW. I've been told the vehicle is a XXXX BMW XXXX XXXX XXXX.
