Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of information on my credit report maintained by your bureau. Upon reviewing my credit history, I discovered the presence of a late payment entry that I neither acknowledge nor recognize. 
Account Information : XXXX XXXX - Those payments were made on time. I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. Either there may be a system error or this account may be with another holder with the same name.

I believe that this late payment entry may be the result of inaccurate information or a possible mix-up with another account holder who shares my name and similar information. 
I kindly request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and, if necessary, remove it from my credit report. I understand the importance of accurate credit reporting and the impact it has on my financial well-being. 
If there is another account holder with the same or similar name and information, I urge your bureau to take the necessary steps to differentiate our accounts accurately to avoid any future discrepancies.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a letter to the credit bureaus requesting them to correct these accounts due to inaccurate, unverifiable information.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I am writing to formally complain to Equifax regarding their failure to respond to my dispute letter and address inaccuracies on my credit report. 

On XX/XX/2024, I mailed a dispute letter to Equifax, explicitly requesting an investigation into several inaccuracies on my credit report. These inaccuracies encompass inaccurate items and incorrect account information. Additionally, I disputed incorrect personal information listed on my credit report, including incorrect addresses and incorrect names. 

Despite my diligent efforts to rectify these inaccuracies by following the appropriate dispute procedure, I have not received any response from Equifax regarding the investigation results and Equifax has failed to provide any acknowledgment or resolution of my concerns. 

Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the dispute letter I sent to Equifax, which serves as evidence of my attempt to rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Given Equifax 's failure to respond and provide the investigation results, I am now demanding that Equifax immediately and permanently remove the disputed items from my credit report. These inaccuracies not only undermine the integrity of my credit profile but also have the potential to adversely affect my financial well-being. 

According to the FCRA, if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file at a credit bureau is disputed by the consumer, the bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate. 


I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau intervene in this matter and take appropriate action against Equifax for their failure to respond to my dispute letter and address the inaccuracies on my credit report.

I am now informing your Company that any unauthorized continued reporting will result in legal action. As the accounts which are listed in this letter are my personal information and you DO NOT HAVE MY PERMISSION to report any of it.

Failure to do so will result in a federal suit to the fullest extent including compensation based on the FRA section 29. I Do Not consent to this private personal information to be reported.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Sent card you never applied for
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (OR)

On XX/XX/14 I received a credit card from Barclay 's Bank Deleware for a Wyndham Rewards credit card that I did not apply for and was sent using my maiden name. Upon calling the company they were incredibly unhelpful. They would not provide me the information needed to provide to the police department to start a police investigation and a paper trail for the incident. When I was finally able to get through to the investigations department they were not helpful and did not take my complaint seriously. After almost an hour on the phone and talking with multiple people I was finally able to get a case ID number although they continued to ask why I needed this information. None of the employees I spoke to seemed to take this issue seriously. 

Additionally, when calling Wyndham Rewards to get additional information from the customer service representative about how a rewards account was opened in my name without my consent, they were equally unhelpful. They also seemed confused as to why I would want to close my account even after explaining multiple times that this was a fraudulent account. While the account was opened using my email address, I asked why I had not received an email with information upon opening my account, the customer service representative had no answer and continued to tell me that I would not receive any further emails- which was not the issue. I have yet to receive an email confirming that my account has been closed. This call, which should have been quick, took upwards of 30 minutes.
