Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (LA)

My complaint doesn't exactly fit with the descriptions that are available, but I think it's valid. The complaint i have is around inaccurate information being released as part of my credit report. Specifically, when it comes to credit utilization. I fully understand that credit card companies have the right to lower credit limits but when that new number is reported to the credit reporting agencies it causes a cascade of inaccurate results. The key to note is that my utilization hasn't changed so when the credit companies ' lower limits they are in fact influencing the utilization score. Example If I have a card that had a {$10000.00} available credit and I used {$1000.00}, a year later the cc company decides for whatever reason to lower it to XXXX, I've gone from a utilization of 10 % to a utilization of 66 % but the argument stands I didn't utilize 66 %, the credit card company created this utilization and now the user has to deal with the consequences of inaccurate classification and reporting. Which typically lead to other creditors reviewing utilization and deciding they will lower available credit to similar levels, and it just keeps going. I've had this happen a couple of times, and I never fault the creditor it's within their right, but " my utilization '' needs to be the factual number of my use with the credit that I had available. Additionally, I already know Pay down your card to get your utilization percentage back, that still doesn't change the fact that my credit score can be impacted by arbitrary actions a creditor can take. It doesn't change the fact that my utilization score can be manipulated by the creditor and as such is not a true representation of my actual use.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

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, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (SD)

Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity.

Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate.

C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports.

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards.

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB , FTC and my Attorney General.

OFFICIAL CONSUMER COMPLAINT and FORMAL DEMAND a thorough CHECK of the required CERTIFIED COMPLAINT REPORTING OF PHYSICALLY VERIFIED valid, true, accurate, complete, and timely of the reported alleged claims. Furthermore, I challenge you to provide evidence supporting these claims. As a consumer, I have the right to contest the reportability of any information that is deficient in any way. I demand that you promptly and PERMANENTLY delete any alleged claims of inquiries, delinquencies, or derogatory remarks if you are unable, unwilling, or fail to demonstrate lawful evidence as requested throughout this notice. This removal must be carried out without exception or delay.

To Whom It May Concern : My consumer rights are being violated with this inaccurate information! I have a right to be treated fairly by those who control it, so please provide me all available details on how they came up short in their responsibilities towards accuracy and compliance. I am officially challenging you to review your data on file for me! With the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) section 611 ( 15 U S C 1681I ) and Metro 2 compliance standards, I challenge all inaccuracies or deficiencies of reporting. The credit report I received was not accurate, which surprises me because you should be adhering to the FCRA and applicable Metro 2 data field formatting standards.

As a consumer, I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It is not complete and does not meet applicable standards because according to law you are required for both FCRAs as well as Metro 2 compliance which must be done truthfully with correct information being provided timely so that none of my rights are violated I am aware that you have been sending out form letters in response to many of the disputes and challenges that consumers have submitted, regardless of the specific information that they have provided. This is illegal, as each dispute and challenge must be addressed individually and on its own merits. My letters were created using software that is available to everyone. If you don't process my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i.

Keep in mind, you are not allowed to delay processing letters from consumers based on the assumption that help from a third party may be available. This is not a legal exception. I am the author of any letters you receive with my name on them. Either I or my advisors wrote them with my full knowledge and consent. I am aware that there is no law that says you need to provide a Power of Attorney in order to delay processing letters from a consumer. If you do not process my letters in a timely manner, I will consider it to be an intentional disregard of my rights as a consumer. I will then contact my lawyer to take legal action.

Company: Harvard Collections, LLC (TX)

A CFPB complaint was submitted in regards to account with Harvard Collection Services on XX/XX/XXXX in regards to a medical account that had not been validated despite 2 good faith attempts with the agency. On XX/XX/XXXX the company responded by stating that they had already removed 2 of the accounts from my credit report and that the 3rd one was in the process of seizing collection activity and that a request for account to be deleted from all 3 credit bureaus was also being submitted. Upon reviewing my credit on XX/XX/XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX the account was still on my credit report and reflecting a new date and no validation has been received nor any verification that this account truly belongs to me and is accurate. I am requesting that this account be deleted immediately as NO validation has been received to confirm that the account belongs to me and that it is valid and accurate. Furthermore, the agency has now falsely reported a newer date for the account and has FALSIFIED their intention of seizing collection activity and removing the account from my report.
