Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have made multiple attempts to get these discrepancies investigated and corrected, yet no meaningful action has been taken. Despite providing all necessary documentation and following up several times, these errors remain unresolved. This ongoing issue has caused financial stress and has taken a serious toll on my well-being. Dealing with these inaccurate entries has been frustrating and exhausting. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to a credit report that accurately represents my financial history. This includes the prompt correction of outdated or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate action to update or remove these late payment entries, as failing to do so is a direct violation of my rights under federal law. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a resolution as soon as possible.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion is reporting a late payment for the XXXX account ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) that is both inaccurate and unverifiable. The account currently shows a {$0.00} balance and no ongoing payment obligation, yet it is being reported as past due. This is an inaccurate portrayal of my payment history and creates a false narrative of delinquency, which directly impacts my credit profile. A zero-balance account can not legally be marked as late unless there is written proof of a specific missed payment prior to the payoff. I have attempted to request validation from the original creditor, but no supporting recordssuch as payment ledgers, account statements, or official documentation confirming the delinquencyhave been provided. TransUnion has an obligation under 15 USC 1681e ( b ) to report only accurate information, and under 15 USC 1681i, it must delete any item that can not be verified during a reinvestigation.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I was approved for a XXXXXXXX XXXX  business credit card and fulfill the spend requirement for the introductory offer. XXXX XXXX closed my account without notice and did I never received the bonus to my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX approved me again for the same card they closed without notice. I fulfilled the spend requirement and again they are refusing to honor the bonus claiming I received it on my previously closed account. Attached are my XXXX XXXX account activity which show I never received a bonus. XXXX XXXX  claims my bonus was awarded, but not sent which is the same as not receiving it. 

In total XXXX XXXX was able to collect over {$25000.00} of merchant processing fees and failed to award two bonuses that I should have received. If my first account was closed for fraud then why did they approve me again for the same card. They keep referring to the terms and conditions of the account as a way to hide and refuse to honor their obligations. From my perspective XXXX XXXX are the ones engaging in fraud now. The regulator should take action to prevent this type of fraudulent behavior in the future.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Pressler & Pressler, LLP
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because I was sued by a debt collector, Pressler, Felt and Warshaw seven days before I ever received a legally required debt validation notice. The letter I eventually received was dated XX/XX/2025, but it arrived on XX/XX/2025 in an envelope with a private postage meter showing the same backdated date. I believe this was an intentional attempt to circumvent the FDCPAs 30-day dispute period. To make matters worse, the certified mail from the court summons showed as delivered to an individual '', but it was in my mailbox but I never signed for it. The postal carrier forged my signature on the green card, his supervisor confirmed this and a formal investigation is now underway with the XXXX police, XXXX XXXX. This combination of deception, forgery, and lack of due process has caused me significant distress, and I believe the debt collector acted unlawfully in initiating a lawsuit without first properly notifying me and honoring my legal rights. I have all envelops and letters.
