Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA)

On or Around XX/XX/year> - the undersigned filed a dispute with Capital One Bank regarding merchants who continued to charge the account, the disputes were given cases : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. Plaintiff sent all documents to Capital One, including receipts, emails, contracts, and photos. Still, Capital One allowed the merchant to continue to charge my account despite the cancellation. I had to call back and explain that the charges need to be re disputed again. I sent all docs via regular Priority Mail and faxed them to Capital One via XXXX paying {$2.00} per cases - on the same Capital One cards. It is believed that Capital One just opens the dispute and closes it for compliance purposes without actually looking at the documents being sent. As it relates to CASE : XXXX- Capital One asked for proof of my attempts to return, and this was sent in the original packet ; I resent the information, and then within XXXX minutes, there was a letter stating they are canceling the dispute and closing the case - again without even looking at documentation. On Case XXXX, I had XXXX XXXX and provide the canceled contract from XXXX XXXX XXXX, which they said was enough, but then they provided a letter on XX/XX/year>, and did the same on XX/XX/year> stating I never sent the requested items - and this was despite the representations made on the phone. For Case XXXX I am unable to dispute or sue a foreign company, my only recourse was to file a dispute, Capital One said the dispute would be honored as long as I sent the email showing I tried to return the item but they refused, this was despite the merchant response had the email where I tried to return the item and they refused.

This is in response to my first complaint XXXX. CFPB contacted Equifax and Equifax sends me a letter wanting me to prove my identity by sending a copy of my SS card and a copy of a bill with my po box on it. They have had information sent to them at least 6 times. They claim they can not find a file with my information on it. I have credit freezes on my credit reports and fraud alerts and extended fraud alerts. I have had to get a po box due to mail fraud. There is a consumer statement regarding my identity theft on my credit reports. These people are not even looking at my information. You can have a po box and a street address. They have had information proving all of this by the Arkansas Attorney General 's office plus I have sent it several times one time being certified. I can not count on them saying they receive it if I send delicate information again. If I am having to send it again then I want a name of someone that can be held accountable. I have had IDENTITY Theft each time I have to send out information it puts me at risk again. They send their standard letter that does not tell you anything about anyone actually doing anything to solve a problem. Please help me with this. Thank you, XXXX XXXX, ( if you need proof of my ID theft, please let me know. )

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally lodge a XXXX regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. Several months ago, I requested a Debt Validation Letter from this organization as per my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). However, to date, I have not received any response or the requested validation of the alleged debt. 

In the absence of a Debt Validation Letter, I am unable to verify the legitimacy of this debt. This failure to respond constitutes a violation of the FDCPA, which mandates that a debt collector must provide validation of a debt upon request. 

Given this lack of response, I am formally requesting that this alleged debt be removed from all credit bureaus immediately. The failure of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to provide the requested validation leaves me with no other recourse but to seek your assistance in ensuring that this erroneous debt is expunged from my credit records. 

I trust that the CFPB will take the necessary steps to address this issue promptly. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

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.

XX/XX/XXXX 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 : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX. 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 : Payment Processed Late Due to System Issue : My payment was made on time, but XXXX 's system delayed processing it. I have attached a copy of my bank statement showing the payment was initiated before the due date. 
Incorrect Reporting Due to Account Closure : The account was closed, and no further payments were due. Despite this, the payment was incorrectly marked as late. Attached is the communication from XXXX confirming the closure of the account with no outstanding balance. 
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, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
