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. (LA)

I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in a XXXX & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

For the past ( 3 ) months, on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX  I have sent several letters to each of the major credit bureaus. 

The letters clearly instructed the bureaus to correct my credit report based upon the Metro2 Code Compliance standards. 

My request for correction has been ignored without proper action taken, particually by Experian. They have repeatedly sent me notice that they " have not taken any action on my alleged request ''. 

After several calls, letters and cover letter attempts to get them to ACT on my behalf, the response from them appears to now be a stalling tactic to not take proper action on my account, per my request. 

Information on my report is inaccurate and I simply want the items requested removed and/or deleted from my credit record.

" 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. 


This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Sent card you never applied for
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (MA)

On Friday XXXX, I opened mail addressed to me ( my last name had a typo ) from Chase. Inside the mail, it contained a physical credit card ( Chase Freedom Unlimited visa ; my name was there but with the same typo as what is on the mail address ). The credit card listed the credit access line and cash access line, and the credit card had instructions to verify the card. It also included supplemental information, including cardmember agreement rates and fees table, Rewards, Guide to Benefits, Cardmember Agreement, and Personal Information summary. 

I plan to contact Chase to have them cancel this credit card/credit line, as well as report this as fraud. 

I did pull a credit report through XXXX, and I did note the following : -My full name was listed, but I saw an additional name with the same typo as what was on the Chase credit card -I saw 1 hard inquiry in XX/XX/2023 for JP Morgan ( Chase ) -I saw multiple soft inquiries for JP Morgan ( Chase ) I am also planning on contacting XXXX to dispute these inconsistencies in my credit report, as well as assess my options regarding a potential credit freeze. 

Therefore, based from what I saw on my credit report, and because I did not apply for a credit card through JP Morgan Chase, I believe that this is some form of fraud.

This has been going on since XX/XX/XXXX in which online credit reports were blocked. Equifax requested information on identity which was provided. On XX/XX/XXXX spoke with **** who said the issue was fixed and the online would be up in two hours. It was not. I called again and spoke to *** who said allow 24 hours. 
I checked today, XX/XX/XXXX, per *** she said it releases once a month. This is incorrect information as historically my credit report was accessible regardless of duration.

I am writing to express my deep frustration and dissatisfaction with the multiple unsuccessful attempts I have made to rectify late open account associated with my financial profile. The persistence of these inaccuracies is causing significant inconvenience and distress. 

The late open account that has been inaccurately associated with my financial history are adversely affecting my creditworthiness and overall financial well-being. I first brought this matter to your institution 's attention, and since then, I have made several diligent attempts to have it resolved. Regrettably, my efforts have not led to any meaningful resolution. 

I initially submitted a request to correct this late open account, providing all the required documentation and evidence to demonstrate their inaccuracy. However, my dispute was denied without a clear explanation or thorough investigation. 

Undeterred, I submitted a second request, reiterating the evidence that these late open account is indeed erroneous. To my dismay, this request was also denied without any indication of progress or resolution. 

I can not overstate the serious consequences these late open account has on my financial well-being. They have hindered my ability to secure loans, credit, and favorable interest rates, making it exceedingly difficult to meet my financial obligations and achieve my financial goals. 

I urgently request that your institution takes immediate and effective action to correct this situation. I expect a comprehensive review of the late open account and, if found to be erroneous, their prompt removal from my financial records. Furthermore, I request written documentation confirming the correction of this inaccuracy and its impact on my credit score. 

I also urge your organization to improve its dispute resolution process to better serve customers. The repeated failures to address this matter properly have eroded my trust in your ability to handle financial matters accurately and fairly. 

Please maintain open and transparent communication with me throughout the resolution process and provide regular updates on the status of my dispute. With this, I am asking for your assistance to correct this account in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$5600.00}.
