Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several unauthorized inquiries currently listed on my credit report. These entries were made without my consent and have negatively impacted both my credit standing and score. 

Despite previous assurances from your agency that these inquiries would be removed, they remain. This continued failure to act is unacceptable. 

These potentially fraudulent inquiries raise serious concerns about identity theft and are causing ongoing financial and emotional distress.

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

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am attaching a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as a result of such theft within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. 
The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX  XXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately blocked from my credit report. This block should remain in effect for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported. 
I have contacted XXXX multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive resolution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely affecting me as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my economic growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm. 
These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit agencies, so I do not understand why this agency continues to assert that these accounts belong to me. 
I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than XXXX  days, I have not received any response. I respectfully request your assistance in removing these accounts immediately.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

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.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a complaint regarding a debt collection agency that has failed to provide proper validation of a debt they claim I owe. Despite my formal written request, the agency has not supplied documentation verifying the debt, nor have they provided proof of their legal authority to collect on it. 

I requested debt validation in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g, and the agency has either failed to respond or continued collection efforts without providing the required proof. These actions appear to violate federal law. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate steps to ensure the agency ceases collection efforts until they comply with the law. I also request that any reporting to credit bureaus be suspended or removed until proper validation is provided. 

I have included supporting documents such as copies of my original request, proof of delivery, and any collection notices or communications from the agency. 

Thank you for your time and assistance in resolving this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I have previously disputed Experian and Equifax regarding multiple accounts that are inaccurate. As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.
