Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC)

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NC, XXXX XXXX, TransUnion, XXXX Re : XXXX XXXX XXXX accounts To Whom may concern, On XX/XX/XXXX I filed a dispute/complaint through the CFPB pertaining to two fraudulent files furnishing on my consumer report. I requested a investigative consumer report Pursuant to 15 USC 1681d ( a ) done by all consumer reporting agencies by phone and through the CFPB initially pertaining to the two fraudulent accounts. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX responded back that the account had been either disputed or they provided me with results already. In which both responses are unacceptable. I never received anything. Due to my right to privacy as a consumer being violated Per USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) by furnishing and sharing my information without my knowledge or consent. I filed the dispute/complaint on XX/XX/XXXX ( # XXXX # XXXX # XXXX ) requesting Pursuant to 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) the description of the reinvestigation method referred to in 15 USC 1681i ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ). I requested all documents involved in the reinvestigation. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) if the completeness or accuracy in a consumers file is disputed the consumer reporting agencies shall conduct a reinvestigation to determine if disputed information is inaccurate and record status, or delete the item from file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30 day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer. I filed this dispute through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on XX/XX/XXXX, its currently XX/XX/XXXX. I havent received any description of the method of reinvestigation thats assured to me the consumer in 30 days by Congress. This is very detrimental to me the consumer in these grave times of economical hardships, with all the scrutiny of millions of inaccuracies and non-investigation accusations coming against the consumer reporting agencies from Congress and Consumers alike. As well as its being openly admitted by the consumer reporting agencies of discarding millions of disputes a year without investigation. Discarding any dispute without investigation violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act FCRA. Its already has been reported that CFPB has cited you Consumer Reporting Agencies for accepting insufficient investigation reports from data furnishers without an independent investigation. Which as a consumer, this misuse of power and responsibility is a grave concern to me in these hardship times of economical struggle, scams, identity theft and so forth. I request both fraudulent accounts be deleted from consumer report pursuant to 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ). Pursuant to 15 USC 1681n theres civil Liability for the willful noncompliance of the FCRA. Which will be my next step.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MO)

I would like someone from Equifax to contact me who can freeze a minor 's credit or verify a minor 's credit has been frozen. Your company has refused to freeze my minor son 's credit, and I am at the point of lodging complaints with the XXXX, my state 's attorney General, my state 's consumer protection division, the Department of Justice ( as it is federal law you are breaking ), the Federal Trade Commision, a private lawyer, and the Federal Consumer of Financial Protection Bureau simply to get a response from your company. 


I have submitted all necessary documentation multiple ( up to 5 ) times since I have been trying since XX/XX/2022 to get my minor son 's credit file frozen, and you have refused to do so. The first time I mailed in all necessary documents, I received no response from you at all. I have called you at least four times, minimum, and no one has been able to answer any questions over the phone or direct me to anyone who can help. I have mailed and faxed you all necessary documents five times and only receive form letters back telling me they can not find the file or asking me submit the exact same documents I just did. ( I have had multiple people check the documents I have sent against the form letters. ) I have also faxed you at least two times and emailed explaining the situation and asking for someone to call me back and have received no response. 

At this time, I have no idea whether you have created a file for my minor son that is not frozen and puts him at risk of identity theft, or if he has a frozen file with an incorrect address ( that he has never lived at ) that puts him at risk of identity theft with documents sent to someone else, if he has a frozen file with a correct address, or if he has no file and no freeze that puts him at risk of identity theft. 

In summary - you refuse to freeze my minor son 's credit according to the federal law. You will not answer my questions by phone, mail, or fax. You are breaking federal law, and I need someone to contact me to resolve this immediately.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (CA)

My name is XXXX XXXX. My husband, XXXX XXXX, passed away on XX/XX/XXXX due to a XXXX. I am on Social Security and XXXX. I have been raising my Grandson since he was an infant. Nationstar states that I can not be granted a loan modification because I was granted a loan modification in XX/XX/XXXX. That modification was granted to my husband, and not me, as I have only assumed the loan recently, and after his death. My Nationstar loan is set to go up yet again in XXXX, XXXX. I am barely keeping my head above water as-is, and Nationstar states that I would have to go late on my mortgage to be reviewed for modification. I find it unfair that I am being punished for making my financial obligation to Nationstar my XXXX priority. From what I understand, my income qualifies me for a loan modification and I, personally, have never been granted a loan modification as I was never on the loan prior to my husband dying, so there denial of my last assistance request is unjustified.
