Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
Im beyond frustrated with the continued presence of false, damaging information on my Experian credit report. These aren't minor oversights or accidental typosthey are substantial and harmful misrepresentations that continue to sabotage my financial progress and personal stability. Ive gone through the formal dispute process in good faith, hoping the issues would be corrected responsibly, only to be met with silence and negligence. The failure to properly investigate and resolve these errors has left me feeling ignored, disrespected, and financially punished for mistakes I did not make. As a consumer, I have a legal right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to a credit file that is completely accurate and substantiated by real, verifiable documentation. It is not my job to chase down proofIve done my part. If Experian can not produce direct and unquestionable evidence to support the continued reporting of these entries, then it is obligated by federal law to delete them immediately. This isnt a requestits a demand for compliance. If you continue to ignore my concerns, I will treat this as a willful violation of my rights and take further action to hold you accountable. My creditworthiness is not something I take lightly, and you should not either.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the credit bureaus continue to mishandle my XXXX student loan account. This is an open account that is currently reporting as in good standing. However, the bureaus are still carrying a 90 day late payment in the history. This is contradictory and misleading. An account can not be reported as current while also being labeled as derogatory. 

I have disputed this with the credit bureaus multiple times. This is my third round of disputes, and they have failed to correct or delete the inaccurate reporting. Their refusal to fix this issue after repeated notice is a willful violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 USC 1681i and 15 USC 1681s-2. The reporting also fails to comply with XXXX standards, which require consistency and maximum possible accuracy. 

Because of the Equifax data breach, I am already a victim of compromised personal information. The continued mishandling of my credit file makes me more vulnerable and has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness. 

I am asking the CFPB to step in and require the credit bureaus to permanently delete the inaccurate late payment remark from my XXXX account and update the record to reflect pays as agreed. This account is open, current, and should not carry a derogatory mark. The bureaus continued reporting of this false information is unlawful and must be corrected immediately.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law. ''

Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
