Company: Transform Credit Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, I received an alert from my credit monitoring company, XXXX ( part of XXXX ), that an inquiry had been made on my credit report on XX/XX/2022, from Transform Credit , Inc. ( Transform ). When I subsequently contacted XXXX, I learned that someone had applied for credit from Transform in my name using my personal information. Because I had no knowledge of this application and had not authorized it, XXXX informed me I was a victim of identity theft and put a fraud alert on my credit report. 
However, when I attempted to alert Transform about the fraud and identity theft, it would not answer the phone and said it would not provide a call back. Instead, Transform texted me back requesting personally identifiable information to find my account. I responded that I do not have an account with Transform, had received a credit alert that it had made an inquiry on my account, and I was not willing to provide my personal information by text. Instead, I informed Transform that if I did not hear back from it, I would file a dispute with XXXX and a complaint with the CFPB. I subsequently emailed and wrote a letter to Transform and still have not heard back.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
For a long time now, over a year, my XXXX credit card has not appeared on my Experian credit report. 
I have tried to call XXXX and Experian to resolve this issue, to no avail. 
Around XX/XX/XXXX or so, I opened a dispute with Experian about the issue. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was told the dispute is closed because they can not add items to my credit report as the result of a dispute, and refused to look into the issue further. 
XXXX has assured me that they send monthly reports to Experian just as they do the other bureaus, and on my request, has sent them off-cycle reports, so I believe the issue to be Experian 's fault, despite their insistence that it is not and that they will not do anything about it. 
As a result of this, my Experian credit score is XXXX points lower than my XXXX and XXXX scores.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Equifax about a collection on my credit file that was initially listed as being from XXXX XXXX XXXX with a balance of {$120.00} and had a status of UNPAIDthen after contacting the company requesting proof of the account and threatening legal action the account was then updated to PAID with a XXXX balance. However this does not fix the problem that the account never should have been on my report in the first place. I already spoke with a supervisor named XXXX XXXX who then provided information that was completely wrong, so I contacted XXXX XXXX directly and had them provide the entire statement history of my account in order to show that the amounts and dates they were claimed were factually incorrect. I have uploaded that information directly to Equifax as they requested it however just in case they try to claim they didnt receive it I am including it here along with proof of the fax being received. This is a direct violation of federal law since they claimed to have verified the information as accurate despite it not being so. 

Both Date of Last payment and Amount of Last payment are both incorrect and therefore the account should be deleted immediately. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX Original Amount : {$120.00} Last Payment Date : XX/XX/2022
