Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

When I investigated my credit report, I realized that some of the information was erroneous. The 3 credit bureaus are required to authenticate the accounts under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ). It is not acceptable to treat the reporting accounts as unconfirmed information without producing proof within the legal time range.

Issue: Received a loan you didn't apply for — 
Company: ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. (DE)

I received an email stating that I was declined for a loan from NetCredit.com because they could not validate my information. I did not apply for this loan and received no funds. I reached out to them to notify them of the fraud and to deleted the account and rescind any credit reporting they may have submitted to the bureaus. They immediately declined and told me I had to submit a police report before they would take any action ( they even asked me to include my current banking account information in that report?? ). They told me that because of their privacy policy, which I consented to when I applied for the loan ( even though I just told them I did not apply for the loan ), they could not delete my personal information ( though obtain fraudulently ). I asked if they could at least provide the last four digits of the bank account that would have gotten the loan, and they have not responded. I just wanted to verify it wasn't a current account. I then simply went on their website, signed in ( after updating the password ), and got the application and the information I had asked for ( that's just poor customer service imo. They could have instructed me to do that on my own ). I determined on my own that the application had very old account and telephone information, and got the IP address the applicant used to apply ( turns out it was from a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in NY. I worked for XXXX for almost 20 years, but left in 2022 ). They have yet to provide me with any assistance and I have escalated my complaint.

Please see the attached documents including a copy of my complaint to the credit bureaus, my police report, a letter from my federal probation officer, a copy of my complaint to the ftc for identity theft, and a copy showing what date the credit bureau received my complaint about identity theft appearing on my credit reports.

I am the victim of identity theft. It is my understanding that once notified, the credit bureaus have to remove the fraudulent accounts from my credit reports within 4 business days. They have not. I am still fighting to get these fraudulent items off of my credit reports. I was incarcerated for a number of years and the attached police report detail and the letter from my probation officer prove that. Yet these fraudulent accounts have not been removed from my credit report. This is severely hindering me from being able to obtain credit myself. Please help me to resolve this matter.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ), consumer reporting agencies, including Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX must handle their responsibilities fairly and respect consumers ' privacy rights. As per 15 USC 6801, financial institutions, including XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX, are obligated to protect customers ' nonpublic personal information. However, I haven't provided written consent for disclosing my information to Equifax, XXXX, or XXXX by any financial account on my report as required by 15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ). 
Moreover, 15 USC 6802 stipulates that a financial institution can not disclose nonpublic personal information without informing the consumer of their right to nondisclosure. Unfortunately, I was not informed of this right by the information furnisher. Additionally, Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX are reporting adverse information without my permission, violating 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ), which prohibits furnishing inaccurate information. 
Furthermore, Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 1681e, and 12 CFR 1016.7 affirms my right to opt out of such reporting at any time. Therefore, I am exercising my right to opt out of their reporting practices.

I am writing to address the ongoing issue concerning inaccurate information within my credit file, specifically related to accounts associated with your company. This matter is of great concern to me, and despite my previous attempts to rectify it, the situation has not been resolved satisfactorily. 

I have sent a total of six previous letters to your company, all via certified mail. Please find the attached receipts for the certified mail with the following tracking numbers : XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. These receipts confirm the delivery of my requests for the removal of inaccurate information from my credit file.

I would like to draw your attention to 15 U.S. Code 1681c2, which states that it is a crime to threaten a lawsuit with no intention of pursuing it. Rest assured, my intention is sincere, and I am prepared to take legal action if necessary.

Despite my previous efforts, your company has failed to conduct a proper investigation into the inaccuracies on my credit report, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. My previous letters clearly outlined the reasons for my dispute, and these concerns are far from frivolous. 

This final request serves as a last opportunity for your company to rectify this matter. I expect a thorough investigation into the accounts in question, and I request that you provide me with documented proof of this investigation. Failure to comply will leave me with no choice but to file a civil suit in my county for damages.

I take the accuracy of my credit report seriously, and the lack of professionalism and assistance from your company has been deeply disappointing. I am well aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and I am prepared to pursue them to the fullest extent of the law. 

I anticipate your prompt response and the resolution of this matter. If I do not receive a satisfactory reply within 30 days, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action.

I recently pulled my Credit Report and saw many errors. I did not have knowledge of these two debts. They are not mine and when I attempted to resolve this issue with the creditors they only wanted me to pay and would not help me at all. It is very unfair that I have debt on my report that does not belong to me. Please help me to remove this so I can move forward. The creditors should be thrown into jail for how they speak to people and especially when it is not the individuals debt. Please Help! The last  two  accounts on my Credit Report that I have no knowledge of are an   XXXX   XXXX   company that states they represent  XXXX   XXXX . I have no knowledge of this debt and it should not be reporting on my Credit Report. The other is  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX . It also should not be on my Report Because THIS DEBT IS NOT MINE. I have tried and tried to work this problem out and have n't been helped yet! Please Help!! There are als o 2  accounts that are reporting on my report that are too old. They should not still be there. It is illegal for them still to be reporting and they are  XXXX   XXXX  and an account by the name of  XXXX . Thank you.

Hi, This is an official complaint regarding the handling of my student as a doctoral student. I am at the end of my coursework and working on my project. This has never happened to beforehand, and the person handling my appeal is be negligent. I have sent documentation and also explained my circumstances. She insists on getting a credit report, but there is fraud on it and other incorrect stuff. I start school on XX/XX/28. I am tired of explaining and her denying my school loans because of XXXX collections of accounts that need to be corrected. 



That is incorrect. My stuff is under investigation for fraud. So that is only possible once they are done fixing everything. So, I need to reach out to someone myself. You are holding up the process and making it difficult for me to complete or complete anything. I explained the situation, and you need to be helping. I don't need payment arrangements on balances or information that is correct or fraudulent. Plus, the medical bill is coded wrong and should be covered under my insurance. I called XXXX, and they told me to call XXXX and XXXX, which must be corrected. My charge card from XXXX was just closed because of identity theft. You can not get a credit report when it is under investigation. So, this is my formal complaint to the CFCB and the Federal Trade Commission, and I also forwarded it to XXXX University.

Issue: Closing an account — Can't close your account
Company: KEYCORP (OH)

I closed my  Keybank che cking account around   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  . Almost  two yea rs later around,   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  , I get an overdraft notice from them. Evidently after my account was closed, it was forced open when an  XXXX  autopayment went to that bank in error. I had told my  XXXX  agent I was changing banks. i set up autopayment through my new bank. Evidently,  XXXX  insurance in error withdrew my payment from both  Keybank  and   XXXX   XXXX   for almost  two yea rs and did not find the error until they looked into it.  XXXX  gave me a check for the amount withdrawn from the  2nd  bank which I repaid to  Keybank. T hey still want extensive overdraft and late fees and never notified me of this until the relvolving credit line that was associated with the account reached its maximum ( no letter in the almost  two yea r period to notify me this was happening ). Now  Keybank  tells me   XXXX   XXXX   is responsible for the bank fees assessed over that time frame.  First Keybank said  they would go after  XXXX  for those fees. Now they say it is my responsibility to go after  XXXX . I have no idea who to contact for this matter. I prefer not to work through my  XXXX  agent and deal directly with the correct department.   I do n't know what to do now and have been harassed by debt collection calls from  Keybank th roughout this time frame. I just do n't have a lot of extra time to deal with this working full time til almost the time the bank closes each day. I owe the bank around {$1800.00} per them minus the insurance check I gave them on the cash reserve credit account portion as of  XXXX  and {$79.00} on the checking account portion.  Keybank  account  XXXX . The  XXXX  premium was a life insurance policy. Can you tell me, should  XXXX  pay these fees ( since it was their error that caused all this )? I think it is a bad practice that bank accounts can be caused to reopen once they are closed out ( I had no idea this could happen  ). The  bank account is frozen but still assessing late fees from my knowledge. Any copies you need will need to be forwarded by mail.
