Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against LexisNexis for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. 



Despite my submissions, LexisNexis 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 ( CRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, LexisNexis ' 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 LexisNexis complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXX XXXX XXXX account that I fully paid off. Initially, TransUnion reported the account as paid off, which was accurate. However, later they incorrectly reported the account as open and in debt again, despite my providing documentation showing that the account was fully paid and closed. 

I have already disputed this information directly with TransUnion, but they failed to correct the error. This inaccurate reporting violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit bureaus report only accurate information. FCRA Section 1681i requires credit bureaus to investigate and correct any inaccuracies, and Section 1681e ( b ) demands that they maintain reasonable procedures for accuracy. Additionally, FCRA Section 1681s-2 requires that furnishers of information report accurate data.

TransUnion is now violating my rights under the FCRA, and I am requesting that they immediately remove this incorrect information and fully correct my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I reviewed my credit report and found several fraudulent accounts that do not belong to me. These accounts were opened without my authorization, negatively impacting my credit score. I have contacted the creditors involved and confirmed that these accounts were opened fraudulently. Additionally, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the credit bureau is required to investigate and verify all reported accounts, yet they have not provided proper verification. I am submitting identity theft reports and supporting documents, including an FTC report, to prove that I did not authorize these accounts. I request immediate action to have them removed and my credit report corrected.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers.

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I was approved for an Unemployment Forbearance Plan by PennyMac, effective XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX, with {$0.00} monthly payments due. In XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX to resume my regular payments, expecting to return to my original amortization schedule. Instead, I was placed into a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX program. 

At no point was I clearly told that resuming normal payments was an option. I was also not fully informed that accepting the modification would extend my mortgage term to 40 years, which significantly increases the long-term cost of my loan. I only discovered this extension months later. 

I believe this constitutes a lack of informed consent and a failure to provide transparent servicing options. I have never missed a payment outside of the forbearance terms and acted in good faith to remain current. 

I have now submitted a RESPA Request for Information to PennyMac seeking full documentation of what options I was offered and what I signed.
