Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have been working on my EQUIFAX credit profile and I noticed there is an incorrect addresses on my report. I am writing to dispute the errors on my credit report. I request that these errors be corrected immediately. Enclosed, please find copies of the relevant documentation that support my dispute, including. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. The INCORRECT Addresses that should be deleted are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX and there is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX. I am under the impression that it seems as if a company has taken advantage of obtaining my personal address for their benefit. There is a huge risk of having the incorrect address on my consumer report because this could potentially be identity theft. I know that under the following law the CRA has to delete inaccurate information. 1681i.

Lastly, see the below where there must be maximum accuracy and unfortunately they are not practicing this law. 1681e. Compliance procedures Section ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I contested the following information included on the attached files with TransUnion and up until this day, they still hasn't responded to all the letters I mailed them. I tried multiple times to resolve this problem with them because I do not wish to pursue legal actions against them but they have been neglecting the duties mandated by the FCRA. This has caused me so much emotional and mental stress because they are degrading my credit rating by reporting erroneous information and preventing me to obtain the necessary credits amidst the pandemic. My credit rating and credibility has always been really important to me and I started researching about it and reaching out to people who might have an idea what to do and they referred me to your website. TransUnion has violated so many laws, the investigation results and status were not communicated to me. I explicitly requested verified documentation for the supposed information reporting on my credit file, but I have yet to get anything. Despite being disputed, there is still a lot of inaccurate information on my credit report. I was not notified about the investigation as well as the results so I'm not even sure whether or not they did the investigation. If they did, the errors on my credit report were not fixed despite their " investigation ''.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Received letter this year XXXX in XXXX from Loancare stating the following... 

" According to our records, we issued you check number XXXX for your mortgage loan in the amount of {$4100.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. Refunds are usually due to excess funds in the escrow account. As of XX/XX/XXXX, our records indicate that this check has not been cashed. '' It then requests I confirm information and mail back to them. I called to confirm this was legit and through many phone conversations and push back, I finally got someone to confirm this was legitimate and to simply follow the directions of the letter. 

I called back to get confirmation they received it since I handed directly to mailman and they again gave me the run around without confirming. The letter shows they now have until 8 weeks after XX/XX/XXXX to issue a new check. That seems ridiculous and I don't believe they ever sent initial check or I would have cashed it.

Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: PR

Complaint narrative:
On two occasions ( XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023 ) I have applied for credit with Pentagon Federal Credit Union, and despite having excellent credit, both have been denied claiming that they have NOT been able to obtain my Credit report with XXXX. I also applied for credit with XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/2023 ) and was also denied claiming they couldn't get my credit report with XXXX either. This serious error or discriminatory act on the part of XXXX has caused me great suffering because I needed to purchase construction materials for the renovation of my residence. My credit score at the time of application was over 800 points. 

Pentagon Federal Credit Union ( PenFed ) was again very irresponsible in pointing out again that I had several derogatory events on my credit history. The real reason should have been that they couldn't access my credit report, but to get out of trouble for the second time, they tell me as the reason that I have several derogatory events on my report, which is TOTALLY FALSE. My credit score is over 800, my credit history is excellent, and I have NEVER had any derogatory events on my credit record.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I have bought many prepaid gift cards from American Express ( over 30 in the last decade ). I never had an issue with them until recently when XXXX of the cards I tried to use had a {$0.00} and {$3.00} balance when they each should have had {$300.00}. Because they were bought over a year ago ( but not attempted to be used until recently ) the credit card company whose credit card I used to pay for the prepaid cards said they could not help me in filing a dispute. When I called the American Express gift card customer service, they told me they could not help. They said to contact the merchants where the cards were used. I told them that I could not do so because I did not make the purchases that drained these XXXX cards and so I dont know who the merchants are. All I know is that whoever stole the card numbers and made the fraudulent purchases did so online because I had the physical cards with me and had never lost them at any point. They said there is nothing they could do. I tried twice more to talk to XXXX other customer service agents in case someone perhaps with more customer service experience knew how to go about solving this fraud case but no one was helpful or even sympathetic. I dont understand how in good conscience American Express can say that it is my problem to try and fix this when they are the ones that sold me cards with compromised numbers that didnt deliver the amount that I had paid for fair and square. You can not pocket my money and then turn around and essentially tell me that you didnt do a good enough job to keep the product safe but that is somehow now my problem. It is not and it should never have been.
