Consumer complaint received 2022-12-01
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

After becoming aware of multiple accounts in bad standing attached to my credit report that were not mine I sent letters to each of the credit bureaus disputing ownership. I spent some time familiarizing myself with the protections afforded to me under FCRA law, that a company can not report an unverified account. In order to verify an account, substantial documentation containing my signature, acceptance and agreement to pay said account must be provided. Additionally, an updated physical credit report as well as the verification documents must be sent to me as a response to any mailed in dispute within 30 days of receipt. I sent my first round of letters in XXXX of XXXX to which I received no written response in 30 days, but rather emails saying the accounts have been verified. I sent another round of letters in XXXX of XXXX at which point no investigation took place because " the accounts had been verified. '' Just today I have mailed my XXXX set of letters disputing these accounts to which I've received XXXX proof or verification. XXXX, XXXX and Transunion have all failed me in the process uphold their responsibility under FCRA law. They have failed to upkeep integrity in their reporting and are willfully causing extensive damage to my creditworthiness and history by their actions. I have never missed a payment in my life, I've worked extremely hard for what I have and the willful and intentional harm done is making it difficult for me financially.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

Saw that there was an account I did n't recognize when I reviewed my credit report. XXXXt/XXXX. I sent them a request for validation to prove it was mine because I do n't recognize them. They never answered. I sent it registered - I have proof they received my letter. However they never sent me a reply - after 30 days I sent the original letter as well as my proof of delivery over to equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. They should delete this as this is not my debt. They say they have investigated and that it is mine. But how is that XXXX/XXXX has listed a debt, they wont send me any information, how in the world can the agencies validate it? This debt is not mine, and if they can not provide me documentation proving this debt is mine, it needs to be deleted immediately by XXXX, eqifax, and XXXX. I am very frustrated and the inability to resolve this. Perhaps I should hire a lawyer. I will attach documents.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AL)

On XX/XX/2024, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were falsely reporting. This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information. I respectfully request to be provided proof of these alleged late payments, and payment history. Per my records I have always paid these accounts on time and never paid late. The following late payment information therefore needs to be reinvestigated as it is inaccurate, and then removed from my credit file as it is falsely reporting.

On XX/XX/XXXX my business partner and I called to redeem the points as advised by the American Express team in order to transfer the primary card user to me. Once we got a hold of the membership rewards team to complete the task as advised we were told we were unable to as the point were under review and we should have got correspondence. I asked when did it go under review and it was that same day when we tried to redeem. We have been cardholders since 2016 and pay all the bills on time. We operate an e-commerce company and have built our accounts and points. Since we didn't want to lose all the hard work points we earned we decided to transfer. We have been nothing but loyal to Amex and don't understand why they decided to make things difficult to simply use the points we earned fairly.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

I was sent a XXXX  card ( I believe for rent payments ) from XXXX XXXX. I have tried contacting XXXX XXXX several times to make sure that the account is closed. I have not received any confirmation in writing that the account has been closed. I still receive e-mails and letters from XXXX XXXX about this account. 

I have been told that the fraud office is closed. I have been disconnected when trying to reach them. I have been told that I should call them directly since the representative can't connect me. 

XXXX XXXX opened a fraudulent card in my name. I have been a homeowner for over 30 years, and I have substantial unused credit lines. I didn't need a card to pay rent. Even the most cursory analysis would have indicated that the application is fraudulent. 

To me this is evidence that XXXX XXXX still does not have proper controls in place. I don't bank with them, and I don't plan to bank with them.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

On XX/XX/2018, I, XXXX sent a final inquiry to Equifax regarding my rent payment activities. 



Subsequently, Equifax has removed these activities without any prior notification given to me, as required by the FCRAs 623-15 U.S. C. 1681s-2 et.seq. ; 628-15 U.S. C. 1861w et.seq. disposal of records provisions. 



Although Equifax initially reported my rent history for several months prior to any unexplained removal, in which did cause my credit score to rise, their most recent actions of an unlawful removal has further caused an injurious falsehood against me. 

Furthermore, after several attempts to remedy this violation caused by Equifax, Equifax has continuously failed to communicate to me in any form describing their results and or recent actions against me when questioned. 



Such non-compliance by Equifax has caused additional harm and injury by means of blocking me from acquiring certain purchases due to the unlawful removal of my rent payment history and current activities. 



Therefore, I am requesting CFPB to compel Equifax to meet FCRA standards by correcting its egregious behavior and apparent error.

Company: ERC (MA)

Dear CRA/ ERC/ XXXX CFPB ; Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be
immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.
