Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MA)

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.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

I want to emphasize the severe financial and emotional distress that this negative rating has caused me and will continue to cause until it is resolved.

I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

Hello, Me and my wife tried to cancel a dispute that was submitted to equifax on XX/XX/XXXX. When we called the customer service department on XX/XX/XXXXa woman taking my information was very rude to me and said that my dispute could not be canceled. Because she could not verify my identity, after I answered her questions all correctly as they were asked. The reason why I wanted to cancel was that the dispute that I submitted was researched by me further and I found that the creditor was right and I was incorrect about a payment that I had missed on XX/XX/XXXX. However that was not the only reason why I wanted to cancel, you see me and my wife just recently got kinship care of our Grandson and we have to provide a bigger home for him. We were told by our mortgage loan officer that if we have a dispute on our report then it could hurt our chances of getting a mortgage. When we explained our urgency about this to equifax they said that we still could not cancel the dispute. I ask to speak with the supervisor ( Brian ) and he was just as rude and playing games with me such as saying when were you born in XX/XX/XXXX? I explained how important it was for us to get this canceled and he still would not work with me. Then I was blocked from the status page and could not find anyway to file a grievance online with them. I was treated horribly as well as my wife. Can you please help me with this issue? People should not have to go through something like this when it is their choice to cancel a dispute. And yes it is noted on my report that a reinvestigation was in progress after we ask them not to.
