Consumer complaint received 2025-10-08 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the three major credit bureausXXXX XXXX and TransUnionfor ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with Metro 2 Format and CDIA industry standards.

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court.

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information Metro 2 and CDIA Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency may not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself. '' Cushman v. Trans Union Corp., 115 F.3d 220 ( 3rd Cir. 1997 ) These harms are measurable, preventable, and attributable to willful negligence and disregard of consumer protection law. 

XXXX XXXX  XXXX Account XXXX : XXXX Relief Requested : I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take appropriate supervisory or enforcement action and require XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion to : Immediately delete all negative items previously disputed that can not be verified with complete documentation Cease reporting unverifiable data and require original source validation for all disputes Re-review investigation procedures and prohibit reliance solely on e-OSCAR as a substitute for human reinvestigation Certify in writing that corrective actions have been taken and notify all furnishers and third-party users of the updated information

Complaint narrative:
The reported late payments and charge-off accounts are inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable. The furnishers have failed to provide original, documented proof that these alleged delinquencies occurred. Without legally required validation, continued reporting of this negative information is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I purchased an XXXX XXXX from XXXXXXXX XXXX through XXXX. When the package was delivered on XX/XX/XXXX it contained cinder blocks. I immediately called XXXX and reported the situation. XXXX said I needed to reach out to the third party seller. I did this and they asked me to send pictures. I did this. Next day they asked for different pictures... I sent them. Third day they requested a video be sent to an email provided.... I sent. Then told me to be patient and wait for an investigation. I waited a week and got no response. I contacted XXXX again and they told me to file an A-Z guarantee claim ... I did. Next day it was denied with no explanation. I appealed the decision and within a few hours it was denied again with no explanation. I contact XXXX and was told there was nothing they could do, but request the third party seller to refund the purchase. XXXX did send the request ( twice on separate occasions ) and the seller refused. I then reached out to Capitol One and filed a dispute claim. Last week I was sent a letter stating that XXXX responded and told Capitol One that I had received the package that I ordered and that I never submitted any complaints to them regarding this situation and that I never returned the product. I called Capitol One and was told that I could send in evidence to support my claim, but that it would likely do no good because XXXX clearly stated I had not made contact with them and that I did not return the product. I told the agent I did not have a product to return and that I could submit information showing that I did in fact reach out to XXXX and the seller. Agent stated that if I could prove that I sent back the package that i was responsible for the purchase. I am now filing a complaint here.I am wanting this fraudulent purchase taken off my account under the fair credit billing act due to goods not received as promised.

Company: Spring Oaks Capital, LLC

Complaint narrative:
A collection account is being reported on my credit file that has not been properly validated. I exercised my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by requesting validation of the alleged debt. The furnisher failed to provide any legitimate documentation proving that the debt is mine, that the amount is accurate, or that they have the legal authority to collect it. 
Despite the lack of verification, this account continues to appear on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requiring only accurate and verifiable information to be reported. The continued reporting of an unvalidated account is inaccurate and misleading.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
This letter is a formal notice of dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurately reported late payment dates on the above-referenced account appearing in my credit file. 
The reported derogatory payment data is factually and legally incorrect and constitutes a violation of my rights under multiple federal statutes. 
Creditor Name : [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] FCRA SECTION 602 RIGHT TO PRIVACY ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) Under the FCRA, I have a right to privacy in the handling and dissemination of my credit information. The credit bureau is not permitted to report data that is inaccurate, unverifiable, or misleading, especially when such reporting creates a false impression of delinquency.

FCRA SECTION 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) NO WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION GIVEN ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from furnishing account information without the consumers written instructions. I have never given written authorization for the dissemination of false or misleading late payment information.

TILA SECTION 1666b IMPROPER LATE PAYMENT DESIGNATION ( 15 U.S.C. 1666b ) According to the Truth in Lending Act, a creditor may not treat a payment on an open-end credit account as late for any purpose if received by the due date or within the grace period.

Reporting a late payment that was not legally late is a blatant violation of this federal protection and exposes both the data furnisher and the credit reporting agency to liability under 15 U.S.C.

1681i.

Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: Branch Messenger, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I was targeted by a fraudster impersonating Uber Support. They convinced me to authorize a transfer of {$250.00} from my Uber Pro / Branch account, under the pretense of validating my identity due to a complaint. 

The scammer guided me step by step : verifying my license plate, car color, then having me link a card and authorize the debit so that I could be compensated after using the " add funds '' feature. In reality, I was adding funds to the card I added to the account, instead of to the account from the card. The funds were sent to an external account held at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( routing XXXX, account ending in XXXX ). 

I did not receive any benefit from that transfer, and it was done through deception. Immediately upon realizing, I filed a police report ( # XXXX ), contacted Uber / Branch / XXXX to dispute, and requested a full reevaluation under Regulation E. 

Uber Pro / Branchs dispute team denied recovery, stating the transaction was authorized via biometrics. XXXX has not yet responded to my fraud report request. I still can not access my Uber account, even using an unrelated device, which suggests the issue is tied to how theyve locked or banned my account. 

I seek a federal investigation, reversal of the fraudulent transfer, and restoration of my account access.
