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: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

On XX/XX/year>, I contacted TransUnion to cease and desist the inaccurate and incomplete information being reported on my credit file. I disputed several items and requested that TransUnion furnish the following as required by law : The procedures used to verify each disputed item as per 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), The name and qualifications of the certified individual conducting the investigation, and Documentation related to charge-off accounts, specifically as mandated by 15 U.S.C. 1666b.

Instead of fulfilling my request, I was informed by a TransUnion " specialist '' that no actual person conducts the investigation. Instead, the process is delegated to a machine-operated system called e-OSCAR. I find this method entirely inadequate, as it fails to consider the specifics of my dispute, the documents I provided, and the detailed nature of my claims. How is this system in fairness to the consumer? 

Issues Raised : The e-OSCAR system does not satisfy the standards of a reasonable investigation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Automated verification without human oversight or thorough document review can not ensure accuracy and fairness.

TransUnion has not provided the procedures it used to verify the disputed information nor the name of the individual ( if any ) responsible for reviewing my case.

No evidence has been provided regarding the charge-off accounts, in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1666b, which requires that billing errors and charge-offs be properly investigated and substantiated.

Violations of Consumer Rights : This lack of transparency and failure to conduct a proper investigation is a direct violation of my rights under the FCRA and has resulted in the continued reporting of inaccurate information on my credit file. The automated approach taken by TransUnion has deprived me of a fair and individualized review of my dispute. 

Request for Investigation and Action : I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau : Investigate TransUnions use of the e-OSCAR system and determine whether it meets the requirements for a reasonable investigation under the FCRA. 
Require TransUnion to provide the procedures used to verify my disputed items, along with evidence supporting the charge-offs, in compliance with 15 U.S.C. 1666b.

Ensure that TransUnion performs a proper investigation that involves the review of the documents I have submitted, as well as the details of my dispute. 
I have enclosed copies of my communications with TransUnion, the documentation I have provided them, and their responses, or lack thereof. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I trust that the CFPB will take the appropriate steps to ensure that TransUnion is held accountable for their failure to uphold my consumer rights.

I am writing to express concerns regarding the verification practices of the XXXX major credit bureaus : TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX. I believe that my consumer rights have been violated in the course of my attempts to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. 

On XX/XX/2024, I sent notarized affidavits to all three credit bureaus requesting that they provide detailed information regarding the verification methods used to substantiate the accounts listed on my credit report. Unfortunately, despite repeated requests, I have yet to receive any substantive evidence to support the accuracy of these accounts. 

I have sent a total of XXXX affidavits to each credit bureau, all of which were sent by certified mail and included a notarized signature. Each affidavit specifically requested proof of verification sent to my address for the disputed accounts. However, the only response I have received is a generic statement affirming the accuracy of the accounts without providing any supporting documentation. 

I believe that the credit bureaus ' failure to provide adequate verification for the disputed accounts constitutes a violation of my consumer rights. I am requesting an investigation into this matter and take appropriate action to hold the credit bureaus accountable for their practices. 


XXXX of Events : XX/XX/2024 : Sent initial affidavits to TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX. 
XX/XX/2024 : Sent second affidavits to XXXX and TransUnion. 
XX/XX/2024 : Sent second affidavit to XXXX. 
XX/XX/2024 : Sent third affidavits to all three credit bureaus. 

As of XX/XX/2024, I have yet to receive any substantive response from the credit bureaus regarding my requests for verification. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their continuous failure to address my dispute letters concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

I sent my FTC report and my ID with proof of my address to EQUIFAX and EQUIFAX refuse to investigate and remove the unauthorized inquiries from my credit report. I have reason to believe and do so believe EQUIFAX is refusing to investigate and remove the unauthorized inquiries from my credit report because I didnt send a copy of my social security card. I have provided EQUIFAX with my social security number to authenticate and verify my account several times when I called the company on numerous occasions regarding this matter. I have successfully verified my account with EQUIFAX numerous times and each representative of the company refused to do their job. Someone stole my social security card and I recently went to apply for another one. The Social Security XXXX gave me a confirmation receipt with my social security number at the appointment. The confirmation receipt is all I have to submit to EQUIFAX until my card arrives in the mail. Please see my initial dispute here.

My account with TransUnion was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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.

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. 


TransUnion Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
