Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding Transunion 's failure to properly investigate my consumer report dispute, in direct violation of their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XX/XX/year>, I filed a formal dispute with Transunion to correct fraudulent and inaccurate information appearing on my consumer report. Instead of conducting a proper investigation, Transunion responded with a stall letter that neither addressed my dispute nor took steps to resolve the inaccuracies. 

I am aware that the CFPB has recently filed a lawsuit against Transunion for these very same practices namely, their systemic failure to properly investigate consumer disputes. I am a direct victim of this misconduct. 

As a XXXX veteran who suffers from XXXX, this experience has been extremely stressful and emotionally triggering. I am currently in the process of closing on a mortgage, and I am under strict time constraints with only XXXX week remaining to finalize my home purchase. Transunions refusal to lawfully process my dispute is putting my homeownership at serious risk, compounding my stress and potentially causing irreparable harm to my financial future. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Transunion fully complies with the FCRA, properly investigates my dispute without further delay, and removes the fraudulent and inaccurate items from my consumer report. I also request that Transunion be held accountable for the injury and distress they have caused. 

I am attaching supporting documents, including copies of my dispute submission and Transunions stall letter, should you require further evidence of their noncompliance. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding an account originally held with TARGET that has been charged off and is now being reported by TARGET my credit reports. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and IRS regulations, once a debt has been charged off and a 1099-C is issued, it is considered canceled debt and classified as income, not an active liability. Therefore, it is no longer legally collectible or eligible to be reported as a current obligation on my credit file.

Despite this, TARGET is continuing to report the account to all three major credit bureaus ( Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion ) without providing proper verification or legal documentation such as the original signed consumer contract. This is a violation of FCRA Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and Section 607 ( b ).

I am requesting the immediate removal of this account from all credit reporting agencies due to its inaccurate and unlawful reporting. Failure to do so is harming my credit profile and violates my rights as a consumer.

These entries are incorrect and do not accurately reflect my actual payment history.

Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I purchased the XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX of XXXX ( Bridgecrest ) in XX/XX/XXXX. I mentioned that the transmission sounded funny to XXXX who sold me the car. He said that there wasn't anything wrong with it. A XXXX later I had to have the transmission replaced. Within XXXX  days I had to have the transmission replaced a second time along with the axles serviced. Along with a few other things. I fell behind on payments because I had out of pocket costs. Whenever I tried to change my payments they would say they never got the payment and reversed it back to my account and put it back to the original payment. The all the repo threats started when I told them that I was talking to a lemon law lawyer. I just found out about 15 USC 1605 which states the finance charge is the sum of ALL charges. Which mine is around {$25000.00} but the vehicle cost around {$20000.00} and the total is around {$47000.00}. Plus under the XXXX XXXX XXXX it states that it is federally not allowed to involve cash in the transaction but I was required to pay a down payment. They repossessed my car without letting me get anything out of it. All my paperwork is in that car which they took almost XXXX hours away so I have no way to get to it.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint regarding Equifax, Experian and TransUnions continued reporting of several negative items that remain inaccurate, unverifiable, and in violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Metro 2 standards.

Despite previous disputes, the following accounts have either been verified as reported, updated, or left in active dispute status without substantiated proof or method of verification from the original creditors : 1. XXXX XXXX XXXX Auto Loan Charge-Off Updated 2. XXXX XXXX Credit Card Charge-Off Active Dispute 3. XXXX XXXX ( Multiple accounts ) Credit Cards Charge-Off Active Dispute 4. XXXX XXXX XXXX  Credit Card Charge-Off Active Dispute 5. XXXX Charge-Off Verified As Reported 6. XXXX Charge-Off Verified As Reported 7. XXXX Loan Charge-Off Verified As Reported 8. XXXX XXXX Credit Card Updated 9 . XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Collection Updated These entries are materially inaccurate in terms of payment history, charge-off dates, and balances. Some contain misclassified or re-aged statuses that violate FCRA 1681c ( a ) and 1681e ( b ). Furthermore, neither Experian nor TransUnion provided a clear * * method of verification * * as required under 1681g and 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ).

I am requesting the CFPB to investigate this matter and require the credit reporting agencies to either : - Delete the accounts that can not be 100 % verified with original documentation, or - Provide complete, itemized verification in writing including account-level data from the original creditors.

Noncompliance with these consumer protections justifies legal relief under 1681n and 1681o.
