Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

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.

Complaint narrative:
These accounts are being reported illegally. Under the No Surprises Act ( 2022 ) and updated FCRA guidelines, medical debt under {$500.00} may not be reported, and all medical debt must meet strict verification requirements. This account was transferred to a third-party collector without my consent, violating the FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) which prohibits false or misleading representations. Any document or agreement was signed under duress during a medical emergency and is not legally enforceable. This is a deceptive, unlawful attempt to collect, and I demand immediate removal from my credit file in compliance with federal law.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against TransUnion for reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite my efforts to dispute the information, TransUnion continues to report incorrect data, which is negatively impacting my credit score and causing undue harm.

The inaccuracies include accounts or information that do not belong to me, outdated or incorrect balances, or other details that I have disputed with supporting documentation. TransUnion has failed to properly investigate or correct these inaccuracies in a timely manner, as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

This is not the first time TransUnion has been cited for failing to ensure the accuracy of its credit reporting. The CFPB recently fined TransUnion for repeated violations of consumer protection laws, including deceptive practices and failure to correct errors in consumer reports.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite having sent several letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by identitytheft.gov as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ).

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under identitytheft.gov clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through identitytheft.gov, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid.

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX ) : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Wells Fargo Fraud Handling No Case Number or Follow-Up, Identity Theft Concerns To Whom It May Concern, On XX/XX/year>, I received a letter from Wells Fargo referencing an account that I did not open. I immediately contacted Wells Fargo via the phone number listed on the letter. I informed them that the account was fraudulent and not associated with me.

I spent approximately 45 minutes on the phone being transferred between departments, including the fraud department multiple times. One representative told me the account was now closed and that a fraud investigation would take place. When I asked for a confirmation number or any form of written acknowledgment, she stated she could not provide one. I was transferred again to someone who allegedly could provide confirmation, but the call was abruptly disconnected with a message that the office was closed. 

I called back right away and was again transferred repeatedly for another 37 minutes. Still, no one could provide a reference number, case number, confirmation, or any documentation. The final person I spoke to said the account had been sent to the " Escalation Department, '' but she could not provide any contact information or next stepsonly that I had to wait for a call. 

This handling is unacceptable for a fraud case involving identity theft. I have no written proof that the account is closed or that a fraud investigation is taking place. I am left with no documentation and no way to follow up. 

I am requesting that : Wells Fargo immediately confirm the closure of the fraudulent account, Provide me with a written confirmation that a fraud investigation is underway, Supply a case number or other tracking information, Provide a clear and accessible point of contact for further inquiries.

I believe this situation may violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), and I request that the CFPB look into the banks failure to provide due process for a fraud report.

Thank you for your assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX
