Subject : Complaint Against XXXX for Refusal to Update Personal Information Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX, Equifax, XXXX for their refusal to update my personal information on my credit report. On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a personal information update letter to XXXX, Equifax, XXXX, requesting the correction of my address and other personal details. This letter was accompanied by the necessary documentation, including a copy of my driver 's license, Social Security card, and a utility bill to verify my address. The document was also notarized. 
However, on XX/XX/year>, I received a response from XXXX, Equifax, XXXX stating that my request could not be processed because I did not provide a government ID. This statement is incorrect and misleading, as I had included all required documents, including a government-issued ID, in my initial submission. 
Attached to this complaint, you will find a copy of my original personal information update letter and all supporting documents that were submitted to XXXX, Equifax, XXXX. 
I believe that XXXX, Equifax, XXXX 's refusal to update my information is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under sections 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ( Compliance procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy ). 
XXXX, Equifax, XXXX 's failure to acknowledge and properly review the provided documentation is a direct violation of my rights under the FCRA. According to the FCRA, consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports and must be provided with a fair and reasonable investigation of their dispute. By ignoring the documentation I provided, XXXX has failed to uphold their obligation to conduct a fair investigation, thereby violating my consumer rights.

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (OH)

I was in a car accident on XX/XX/XXXX and my vehicle was totaled. I worked with insurance to pay the vehicle loan off. Under my insurance claim, XXXX checks were coordinated with the bank and then issued by XXXX on XX/XX/year> and sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX  for the total loan payoff amount to release the title. On XX/XX/XXXX and even exactly one day after my loan due date, I called in to customer service to check on the status of the loan payoff as my loan was not delinquent and I wanted to avoid negative credit reporting and fees. Per my discussion with a customer service representative, they informed me that there would be no issue with billing, and that I should not take any action on my loan or make any payment myself.

However, I received a notice on XX/XX/XXXX that my loan was sent to collections, I received a {$35.00} fee, and a negative credit reporting result as they reported my loan account delinquent. The information provided by the customer service representative misled me. The outcome was unfair and deceptive. I paid the loan off in full later that same day on XX/XX/XXXX, inclusive of the {$35.00} fee. On that same day I also disputed the fee, and I disputed the negative credit reporting, on account that the actions taken by the bank in misleading and then punishing me caused me harm and could not be reasonably avoided by me, since I was following the direction of the bank representative. 

In answer of my dispute, I received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX, which was dated XX/XX/XXXX, that the information reported to the credit bureaus was accurate. First, I do not doubt the information is accurate and that was not the nature of the dispute. Second, I disagree with the bank 's decision to charge me a fee and to report the negative credit information anyway as the whole situation was unfair to me.
