Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I disputed a bankruptcy listed on my credit report with Equifax, Transunion and Experian. I received a response stating the bankruptcy was " verified. '' However, I obtained a letter from the U.S. Bankruptcy XXXX, XXXX XXXX of California, which clearly states that the court does not verify or report bankruptcy information to credit bureaus. 

Because the court does not confirm or release this data, the bankruptcy is legally unverifiable under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Any item that can not be verified must be removed. 

In addition, I have placed security freezes on my XXXX and XXXX consumer files to prevent the credit bureau from relying on third-party public record databases for unverifiable information. 

Despite these facts, the company failed to remove the bankruptcy. I am requesting that the CFPB assist in enforcing the removal of this unverifiable public record from my credit report.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information reported on my credit report concerning a charge-off. Below are the details of the account in question : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX  The highlighted info can be obtained directly from your credit report. If you need assistance with getting your credit report please see the instructions page included. 

It has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off. 
Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score. 
Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is XXXX years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). 
Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper. 
I request an immediate investigation into this matter and the correction of my credit report by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections.

This request is made in accordance with my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( c ). Additionally, I am requesting that you validate the debt in question. Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) of the FDCPA, I have the right to request verification of any alleged debt you are attempting to collect. If you are unable to provide proper verification, or if the debt is invalid, I demand that you immediately cease all collection efforts and remove any record of this debt from your files and from any credit reporting agencies to which you may have reported it. Be advised : You are legally prohibited from continuing collection efforts on any debt that has not been properly validated.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file! 

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.

I received a letter in the mail from XXXX XXXX. It said I owe BNY Mellon {$2700.00}. I called them and told them this was fraudulent.

This is fraud and I would like this removed from my credit report. Also, I am filing a complaint against BNY Mellon for fraud.
