Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

" 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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.

It between the thousands of emails I did notice one from XXXX stating that some account info had been changed. I immediately called XXXX and the between the Fraud and Online banking teams they were able to take back control of my account.

They then created a new account for me and informed me that the balance and payments including my automatic payments would automatically transfer. So I had assumed I was all set. However on XX/XX/XXXX I was informed by my credit monitoring service that a derogatory credit comment was placed in my file by XXXX  for non payment. My credit score plummeted by XXXX points and all my existing lines immediately put limits on my accounts. 

I figured this was a clerical error and XXXX  would immediately fix this mistake on their part. Upon calling several agents admitted this was a problem with XXXX  and refunded my late fees. However I was informed on XX/XX/XXXX ( after several days of calling and opening a customer service case # XXXX ) they had denied my request to fix this erroneous report, further victimizing me. I need this erroneous report removed and my credit file restored to what it was prior to this fraud attack and victimization by XXXX  XXXX XXXX.

**Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Complaint** **Complaint Against : ** - **Company : ** TransUnion LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX - **Website : ** www.transunion.com **Complaint Summary : ** I am submitting this complaint against TransUnion LLC regarding multiple unauthorized reinsertions of inquiries on my credit report, which violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under **15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) **. Additionally, these inquiries were not made for **permissible purposes** as defined under **15 U.S.C. 1681b** of the FCRA .

**Details of the Complaint : ** 1. **Reinsertion of Previously Removed Inquiries** : I successfully disputed a series of unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, and TransUnion removed them. However, these inquiries were later reinserted into my credit report **without providing me with written notice within five business days**, as required by **15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) **.

2. **No Verification of Inquiries** : TransUnion failed to provide proof that these inquiries were verified with the creditor before reinserting them. The FCRA requires the credit reporting agency to confirm the accuracy of any reinserted information. I have not received any such documentation. 

3. **Permissible Purpose Violations ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) ** : The inquiries that were reinserted do not meet the criteria for **permissible purposes** under **15 U.S.C. 1681b**. These inquiries were not authorized by me, nor were they conducted for legitimate reasons such as reviewing my application for credit, insurance, or employment.

4. **Negative Impact on My Credit Score** : The unauthorized inquiries and their improper reinsertion have negatively impacted my credit score, and I believe this constitutes an unfair and deceptive practice in violation of the FCRA.

**Desired Resolution : ** I request that the CFPB : - Investigate TransUnion 's actions regarding the improper reinsertion of inquiries without proper notification or verification.

- Require TransUnion to remove all unauthorized inquiries from my credit report immediately.

- Provide me with proof that these inquiries were verified with the original creditors before being reinserted, including evidence of permissible purpose.

- Impose any necessary penalties on TransUnion for violating FCRA reinsertion laws and permissible purpose requirements.

I also request that TransUnion takes corrective action to ensure compliance with the FCRA in handling consumer disputes and reinsertions going forward.

**Documentation : ** - Attached is my correspondence with TransUnion , including dispute letters, removal confirmations, and credit report details showing the reinserted inquiries.

I want to be absolutely clear : I did not approve these transactions to be in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. So, I formally ask to block and remove them from my record. This isn't a mistake, nor is it based on any misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my clear consent or instruction. I'm stressing this to show how serious my request is. It's based on accurate info, and I'm not trying to deceive or manipulate the situation.

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

The following items listed below are all in violation of my privacy rights under the Privacy Rights Act of 1974, also 15 USC 6801, 15 USC 6805 and 15 USC 6802 obligation to disclosure of personal Information. Per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer I am now opting out of any and all authorization I the consumer may have given to anyone listed below written, unwritten, verbal, and nonverbal per 15 USC 6802. I am invoking my rights under 15 USC 6802 to opt out of the disclosure of my information. XXXX, XXXX, Equifax, and also all the companies listed below should be penalized for there unlawful actions violating my rights, all are guilty of either reporting or disclosing my information. I Have attached a report of my credit report from all XXXX bureaus and you will be able to see the proof of discrepancy within the credit bureaus. All the credit bureaus are reporting different dates of accounts being open, different charge offs, payment history, all inaccurate reporting violating 15 USC 1681. Each violation is subject to {$1000.00} fine per violation made by each party involved. XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, This company is reporting a charge off balance of {$120.00} to XXXX and XXXX only and is in violation of 15 USC 1681 inaccurate reporting. Credit bureaus have to all report the account with the right dates of open, balance, and payment history all must be the same or it is in violation, inaccurate reporting, and must be removed immediately, subject to a {$1000.00} fine per violation if not removed. This inaccurate charge off is in violation of 15 USC 1681 inaccurate reporting and is being reported by a third party debt collector which is now a " certificate of indebtedness '' which means it is now income and can not be reported to my credit report as it in violation of the law. However this company obtained my information, they violated my rights by disclosing it to the credit bureaus and the credit bureaus violated my rights by reporting it to my credit report. This is also in violation of my privacy rights in the Privacy Rights Act of 1974 and needs to be removed immediately. XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Late Payment reporting by Equifax, and XXXX only, completely in violation of 15 USC 1681 inaccurate reporting, 15 USC 6801 illegal to report transaction history, 15 USC 6802 disclosure of personal information. I signed a privacy agreement with this bank that they wouldn't disclose my information to a third party company and all three credit bureaus are third party companies, therefore illegal to report of my credit file. The bank can't disclose my information and the credit bureaus can't report it. They both owe for compensation.
