Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Delta was the only airline still struggling with this incident. We were forced to purchase additional tickets on a different airline to get to my job on time in XXXX.

This is despite the fact that an American Express Travel consultant stated, on a recorded line, that the full trip change cost would likely be covered. We are asking for full coverage of the cost of the flights ( {$2500.00} ).

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage was through loandepot until XX/XX/XXXX. The second portion of my property tax was due for the amount of XXXX, but was never paid by loandepot from my escrow account. In XXXX I inquired about my property taxes and was told they would investigate further and to not pay any taxes or penalties. My property has XXXX XXXX  because I am on a land lease. XXXX XXXX  is for the state body that owns the land, and this shows it being tax exempt, however, there is a second XXXX  that is for tax purposes. After calling multiple times, giving the appropriate XXXX, sending the tax statements, they continued to say I was exempt. Every week I would receive an email that says they were still investigating and that they would reach out, but that date continued to get pushed further until my loan was eventually handed over to XXXX. My escrow account was eventually refunded to me after loandepot performed an escrow analysis. Loandepot actually paid the first installment of the property tax in XXXX of XXXX. I eventually paid the taxes and penalties from my personal account because I did not want a lien placed on my home.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
My credit report has certain accounts that I'm not familiar with. Since I never gave them permission, they could be the product of identity theft. Having previously discussed this with you, I'm writing to request that these accounts be promptly deleted from my report in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit bureaus rectify erroneous information on consumer credit reports. These accounts have caused me stress because they are on my report. It's been difficult to deal with the impact because they don't represent my financial responsibility or credit history. I'm ready to take legal action to protect my rights and find a solution under the FCRA if we can't work this out. The inaccurate items that appear on my credit report have been a big obstacle for me. They're getting in the way of my important financial goals, like buying a house and taking care of my family. I hope we can resolve this issue quickly.
