Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

The items listed below are reported on my credit file and were found in my reports with 3 credit reporting agencies. These items were opened fraudulently. Ive informed all parties of the issue & provided the necessary documentation to support my claim. The credit reporting agency ( CRA ) & data furnisher ( DF ) are not complying with federal law regarding identity theft. Additionally, the credit reporting agency & data furnisher have not provided any evidence of an open contract, signed contract, or any valid proof this was opened, authorized, or created by me. Since this is a strict violation of FCRA laws I need the items removed from my file.

I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts though your company claims to have verified these. Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the XXXX in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AE)

My accounts 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 to be removed/updated.

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.

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 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. ''

I am submitting this complaint regarding the failure of Equifax to remove fraudulent collection accounts from my credit report despite multiple disputes. 


I have disputed a fraudulent collection account with Equifax several times, accompanied by supporting documentation, including emails from the original creditor, a police report, and an FTC report. These documents demonstrate that I do not owe the debt listed. 

This collection account has been removed from two other credit bureaus but remains on my Equifax report, negatively impacting my credit score. I am concerned about the lack of action taken by Equifax to investigate and resolve this matter. 


I request that Equifax conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and remove the fraudulent collection account from my credit report. I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Under 15 USC 1681s-2 , furnishers are obligated to provide accurate data to the credit bureaus, yet these inaccuracies have remained unresolved despite my efforts to dispute them directly with the furnishers. 
These errors are having a negative impact on my life, including limiting my ability to access credit, hindering financial opportunities, and causing unnecessary stress. Furthermore, the presence of inaccurate information heightens the risk of identity theft, as incorrect or unresolved disputes can leave my personal and financial data vulnerable to misuse. Despite filing a dispute, Equifax has failed to conduct a proper reinvestigation, as required under 15 USC 1681i-5.

This is about the fourth or fifth time now in the year XXXX, I keep telling the bureaus they are listing inaccurate information or incomplete but they only delete certain items not all. Here are more details on the accounts that should be deleted! 

To whom it may concern : According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 611 of FCRA, credit bureaus have a responsibility to delete any information from credit reports that is inaccurate or incomplete. This is important to note, as even if an account has only been speculated upon or never confirmed in any way, the burden falls on the credit bureau to provide evidence of its veracity before it can be placed on a credit report. If the information in a credit report is wrong, it was never proven to be factual, and the consumer has the right to take legal action against the credit bureau. After disputes online and multiple complaints via the CFPB and disputes by Certified Mail, inaccurate information continues to be listed on my credit report and should be deleted immediately. I have compiled a list of date on my report attached to this complaint and one has been sent via USPS mail to the agency.
