Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against TransUnion for ongoing violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to correct inaccurate information on my credit report despite multiple disputes over the past six years and not properly validation of information.

TransUnion has reported two accounts on my credit file that do not belong to me, most notably an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. Despite numerous disputes submitted over the years, including XXXX as recently as XX/XX/year>, TransUnion continues to claim the information is accurate without providing any proof or documentation that these accounts are legitimately mine. 

What is more concerning is that : XXXX of these accounts has been present on my report for over XXXX years, and every time I dispute it, they respond with a generic statement claiming it is " verified as accurate '' with no supporting evidence After I submitted a dispute in XXXX, I also filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). I was informed by CFPB that they were still investigating, but I later received a separate communication from Transunion stating they would not be removing the account. Then On XX/XX/XXXX they place notes on my file indicating I Voluntarily Surrendered a Vehicle that was not mines.This contradiction further undermines their credibility and their investigative process. 
Following my most recent dispute, TransUnion updated the account and lowered my XXXX XXXX by XXXX points, even though they are not legally permitted to update or alter disputed information during an open investigation especially when it has been on file for several years without proper verification. 
This inaccurate reporting has caused me significant emotional and financial distress, including the inability to purchase a home or obtain any form of credit due to lowered scores and false debt attribution. 
I have filed a police report and formally notified TransUnion of potential identity theft and fraudulent reporting yet they continue to report inaccurate information. 
These actions constitute a violation of the FCRA, which requires credit reporting agencies to conduct proper investigations and remove unverifiable or inaccurate information in a timely manner. 

I am requesting the immediate removal of the following from my TransUnion credit report : All accounts related to XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX Main or any other disputed entries that have been contested multiple times without valid supporting documentation. 
Failure to comply will result in escalation to : The Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) My State Attorney Generals Office Potential legal action under FCRA provisions

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute multiple unauthorized inquiries that appear on my credit report. I have sent each bureau everything attached to this claim prior to escalating to this step and have received stall tactics saying my identity cant be verified, or an inaccurate item coming back as verified in less than 24 hours which shows first a real person did not investigate but instead an EOSCAR SYSTEM.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), I am entitled to dispute any information that I believe to be inaccurate or incomplete.

I have identified accounts and inquiries listed on my credit report that I did not authorize or provide written consent for. This is a total breach of privacy and trust when it comes to consumer reporting.

Complaint narrative:
RE : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In the past I have informed Equifax that this account had fraudulent charges totaling {$6400.00}. I executed an FTC Identity Theft Report regarding those fraudulent charges. The current reported balance is around {$220.00}. After the {$6400.00} is credited back to me, the balance on this account should show a credit of at least {$6200.00}. I say at least because there has been interest charged on top of those fraudulent charges.
