Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their continuous failure to address my dispute letters concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me.

Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of identity theft caused by the XXXX Data Breach. My personal information was compromised and found on the dark web, leading to fraudulent accounts, names, addresses, and inquiries appearing on my credit report.

Despite providing proof of identity theft through my FTC Identity Theft Report, TransUnion has failed to remove fraudulent information and has not provided the legally required Method of Verification ( MOV ) for these accounts. 

This letter serves as formal legal notice to TransUnion regarding its ongoing violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and my demand for immediate correction of my credit report. 

VIOLATION # 1 FAILURE TO BLOCK FRAUDULENT INFORMATION ( 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 ) Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, TransUnion must block fraudulent information within four ( 4 ) business days after receiving a valid identity theft report. 
TransUnion has failed to comply with this law by continuing to report fraudulent accounts and inquiries despite my FTC Identity Theft Report.

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I noticed two unauthorized accounts on my XXXX credit report, which I had to pay to access. I checked my report because I was denied a personal loan from XXXXXXXX XXXX, and my XXXX credit score was significantly lower than other bureaus. Upon reviewing the report, I found I was listed as an authorized user on a Citi Bank credit card I do not recognize. This card was maxed out and in poor standing. 

I immediately contacted XXXX customer support to address the issue and formally disputed the account, requesting removal as an authorized user. I have no knowledge of this account or its owner. Additionally, it appears that this same card is duplicated on my report. 

On XX/XX/year>, after receiving a response from Citi Bank regarding my dispute, I called Citi directly. They confirmed they have no record of me in their system and, therefore, can not remove me as an authorized user. I then contacted XXXX again, as my dispute was marked " Closed, '' yet the accounts remained. XXXX was unhelpful and insisted that I needed to have Citi remove medespite Citi stating they have no record of me and can not assist. 

XXXX refuses to explain how they obtained this erroneous information and why it remains on my report despite clear evidence that my Social Security number has never been associated with these accounts. This misinformation directly impacted my creditworthiness, as my loan denial explicitly cited my XXXX report, including the negative account. I believe this is a serious violation, and XXXX failure to correct this issuedespite my formal dispute and supporting informationis unacceptable. Additionally, I am paying for XXXX credit monitoring service to track my dispute, yet they have provided no meaningful assistance in resolving the matter.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Experian for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Experian consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Experian 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Experian complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation. I XXXX XXXX, a consumer, am notifying you that I dispute these alleged debts pursuant to 15 USC 1692G. I request that you provide to me verification of this alleged debt. Verification consists of a formal declaration in where you swear to the truths and statements of the facts of the matter, have first hand knowledge and must be notarized. Since this debt is disputed through the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, you are required to cease all collection of this alleged debt which includes reporting to my consumer report with Experian, Equifax, and Transunion. I hereby inform you that you do not have my consent to communicate with me through any medium. Furthermore, I did not consent to you having my personal and private information. This constitutes aggravated identity theft. I also did not consent to you reporting information in my name to the consumer reporting agencies. Pursuant to 18 USC 8, I owe no debt. These companies are violating my consumer right to privacy pursuant to 15 USC 1681b 2. These companies also have NO permission to report ANYTHING using my info pursuant to 15USC1681 4. 

These are the accounts that I've marked as inaccurate and need to be removed from my credit report immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.
