Consumer complaint received 2025-07-03 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress.

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Shellpoint applied lender risk insurance on a line of credit at a property. This is not a line of credit I have ever used, and I only have it for cases of emergency. I received a statement saying that a considerable amount was due on the loan, which confused me as there were no draws listed on the loan. After many harassing phonecalls, I was finally able to connect with a manager and insurance department- they had me spend hours proving that I had insurance on the property. On XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX they sent me a letter saying that I was correct, and that insurnace did exist on the property. During that time I received harassing phone calls where when I requested emailed documentation related to the status of my loan shellpoint would " transfer me to a manager '' and then hang up. Additionally, Shellpoint sent a letter saying my home would be foreclosed unless I made this payment. 

After this update on XX/XX/XXXX, I logged into my Shellpoint account to be sure that there were no other issues, but a payment still remained due. This was for fees and interest associated with the lender applied insurance policy. Again, no draws have ever been made on this account. 

Further, Shellpoint continues to harass me regarding this matter, calling me sometimes multiple times weekly. When I explain the situation they say that the issue is resolved, but then continue to call and say I have a debt due. Further, when I ask to speak with managers or to file a complaint, they transfer me and then hang up. 

I have spent many hours dealing with this and the stress is impacting my life. They are also not complying with requests for documentation, and do not provide any identification on the phone.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a credit inquiry that appears on my credit report. I did not authorize this inquiry, and it was made without a permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Let me be very clear : I did not apply for credit, services, or any transaction that would warrant this inquiry. Whoever pulled my credit had no legal grounds to do so, and this unauthorized inquiry is a direct violation of my rights under the FCRA, which strictly limits who can access a consumers credit report and for what reasons. 

This inquiry is not only unwarrantedits damaging. Hard inquiries affect my credit score and overall financial profile, and in this case, I am being penalized for something I never agreed to or initiated. Thats unacceptable.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: CAVALRY INVESTMENTS, LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I originally opened an account with XXXX in XXXX. Due to financial hardship, I was unable to continue payments, and the account was eventually charged off. Cavalry Portfolio Services later purchased this debt.

However, I never opened an account or signed any contract with Cavalry Portfolio Services. They chose to purchase this debt on their own I did not authorize or agree to any new obligation with them. 

XXXX is now falsely reporting to the credit bureaus that the account was opened in XXXX. This is inaccurate and misleading. The correct date of account origination is XXXX with XXXX. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ), negative information can not be reported for more than 7 years from the date of first delinquency. XXXX is attempting to re-age this debt to keep it on my credit longer, which is illegal. 

I have already disputed this with TransUnion, and XXXX has failed to correct it. 

I am requesting that XXXX immediately update or remove this account from my credit report, and that all inaccurate information be permanently deleted. 

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.

Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
