Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

On XX/XX/2024, I mailed certified documentation for the second time to address fraudulent accounts on my credit report due to identity theft. Despite submitting all required documents, including a police report and an FTC report, the company has refused to honor my request to remove these fraudulent accounts. I have taken every necessary action to prove that I am a victim of identity theft, yet they continue to ignore this fact. 

Additionally, the company has merged my credit file with another consumers file. This has resulted in the wrongful addition of a XX/XX/XXXXXXXX on my credit report. I did not authorize any of these accounts or pull my credit in the last two years.

I request that the company take immediate action to remove the fraudulent accounts and rectify the errors made to my credit file.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (LA)

I am rejecting this response because : The Credit Bureau recent response to my complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Despite my numerous attempts to dispute these erroneous accounts and rectify the situation, TransUnion has failed to adequately address and resolve the issues at hand. 

Over the past several months, I have repeatedly contacted The Credit Bureau, providing detailed information and supporting documentation to demonstrate the inaccuracies present in my credit report. Unfortunately, each attempt has been met with insufficient action and a lack of proper investigation into the matters I raised. This ongoing negligence has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and has had adverse effects on my financial well-being. 

I am now seeking the intervention and assistance of the CFPB to help resolve these persistent issues. The Credit Bureau failure to correct these inaccuracies and conduct a thorough investigation is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, they have breached my consumer rights to a fair and accurate credit report by not fulfilling their obligation to investigate disputes properly and correct any errors. 

The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must investigate disputed information and make corrections if inaccuracies are found. 
The Credit Bureau continuous disregard for this responsibility has not only violated my rights but has also perpetuated the damages being done to me as a consumer. 

I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that The Credit Bureau adheres to the FCRAs requirements and conducts a comprehensive review of my disputes. I am seeking a resolution that includes the correction of all inaccuracies on my credit report and a guarantee that my consumer rights will be respected moving forward.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC. (FL)

I am writing to follow up on the response provided by PennyMac Loan Services regarding my dispute. The creditor claims that they sent their responses to an incorrect address. However, this is inaccurate and does not excuse their failure to respond to my dispute within the legally required 30-day period under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). In my original dispute letters, I provided my correct and current address multiple times : - My address was clearly stated in the dispute letters themselves. - The envelope included my return address. - I enclosed a copy of my driver 's license and an electric bill, both showing my current and correct address. Additionally, I sent dispute letters with this accurate information on multiple occasions : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. PennyMac Loan Services had **ample opportunities** to mail their responses to my correct address, but still failed to do so. Given that I complied fully with the dispute process and provided proof of my correct address on several occasions, I request that this account be removed from my credit report. The creditors failure to respond within the legal timeframe, combined with their mishandling of my dispute and failure to send responses to the correct address, violates the FCRA. Additionally, under the FCRA, consumers are entitled to statutory damages up to {$1000.00} for such violations. I respectfully request that this be taken into consideration when addressing the creditor 's non-compliance. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely response. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request.

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MI)

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

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 XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.
