Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

Im submitting this complaint against XXXX  Equifax, and XXXX due to their total disregard for my consumer rights under the FCRA/FCBA/FDCPA. For several months now, I've been disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information showing up on my credit report by this company. I have requested intimate information about the alleged accounts, including a copy of an agreement with my signature on it, but I have yet to receive anything. These companies continue to electronically verify these " ghost '' accounts without providing any legally binding evidence, such as a signed contract and complete accounting of the record, as required by law. They're clearly lying and thus the reason Im asking for proof. However, these companies refuse to provide it, which is not right and is not compliant with the FCRA/FDCPA. Im absolutely fed up. My life has been in complete ruin as a result of this. It's causing XXXX XXXX  and financial XXXX, preventing me from getting approved from credit that I am rightfully entitled to, and not to mention the ample amount of time that I must take out to try and resolve this matter myself. This has brought a great deal of harm to my family as a whole as well. Ive just had enough! Please help! I hope to hear from you soon.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MI)

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

I submitted a dispute to Experian, XXXX and XXXX for an account that I was not familiar with. The account name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the amount is {$730.00}. XXXX completed their investigation and removed the account. XXXX and Experian completed their investigation and advised the information was accurate. I spoke with XXXX over the phone and the representative stated that their investigation was concluded by the creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) who actually sent the account to them to place on my credit report, not by XXXX or a third party. I spoke to the creditor, and they could not give me any information regarding the account, other than it was sent to them by another company, and they would only accept payment. This seems to be a conflict of interest. XXXX was not able to find evidence that I had an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I also disputed an account with XXXX Collections for {$200.00} that was on my credit report as a charge off, but it was paid with the original company. I did not have any business with XXXX Collections. All three bureaus completed their investigation process and Experian removed this account as it was not accurate. The remaining two bureaus updated the account as paid. None of the three bureaus have the same information. Neither of the above accounts should be on my credit report. I have attached the copy of the two disputes that were updated as mentioned.

Dear Discover ; I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.
