Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I received an alert from XXXX XXXX that there was a new hard inquiry on my credit report. I checked and the inquiry was from XXXX XXXX. I called them and they told me someone tried to apply for a credit card with them using my details. I told them this is fraud and they cancelled the application. This was within 20 minutes of the application being made ( or at least within 20 minutes of the inquiry showing up on my report and me getting the alert. ) I receive several monitoring alerts from many companies, so I was able to recognize the fraud quickly. 

I went to dispute the inquiry on my credit report as well, but Experian said they couldn't do that online. So I called them on XXXX XXXX ( they were not open previous days due to the XXXX holiday ) and told them the inquiry is fraud and I need to make a victim statement. They asked if I reported to the police or FTC. I said no, I just called XXXX, and they told me to come report to the FTC as well and send them a copy.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
