Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I submitted disputes to all three credit bureaus TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit reports. Despite providing supporting documentation and following the proper dispute process, the credit bureaus failed to investigate properly and did not correct or remove the inaccurate items. 

This is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : 15 U.S. Code 1681i which requires the bureaus to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation within 30 days ; and 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) which requires them to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 

The inaccurate information continues to negatively affect my credit score, which is impacting my ability to get approved for basic financial needs. I am requesting that the CFPB step in to enforce compliance and ensure that the credit bureaus either verify or permanently remove the disputed items. 

I am attaching copies of the original dispute letters, responses ( if any ), and supporting documentation for your review. 

Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am attaching a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as a result of such theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately blocked from my credit report. This block should remain in effect for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported.

I have contacted Experian multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive resolution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely affecting me as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my economic growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm.

These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit agencies, so I do not understand why this agency continues to assert that these accounts belong to me.

I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than 60 days, I have not received any response. I respectfully request your assistance in removing these accounts immediately.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

I have repeatedly attempted to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, yet no significant action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the inaccuracies on my credit report remain unresolved. This prolonged issue has led to ongoing financial strain and has severely impacted my well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been both frustrating and mentally exhausting. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history, including the timely correction or removal of any outdated or incorrect information. I am urging you to take immediate action to either update or delete the reported late payment entries. Continued failure to act would be a direct violation of my rights under federal law. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a timely resolution.

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against XXXX, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where TransUnion has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as TransUnions inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I have previously disputed Experian, Equifax and Transunion regarding multiple accounts that are inaccurate. As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan — 
Company: Monterey Financial Services LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to report what I believe is a deceptive and predatory financial arrangement that was disguised as a lease. I entered what I believed to be a standard financing plan for a {$1300.00} item through XXXX, with financing handled by XXXX XXXX. I later discovered it was a " Closed-End Consumer Product Lease '' that does not function like a traditional loan or installment plan. 

Like most consumers familiar with common " buy now, pay later '' services or credit card-based financing, I assumed I would have the option to pay off the balance early and avoid long-term interest or fees. That assumption was incorrect. 

The item was priced at {$1300.00}, but I was quoted an early payoff amount of over {$2100.00}, even after having already paid {$400.00}. The total lease obligation exceeds {$2900.00} for a {$1300.00} item. While I understand that financing often involves fees or interest, this structure more than doubles the total cost and removes any realistic opportunity to exit the contract early. 

Although the contract technically states it is a lease, this was not made clear during the purchase process. At no point was it obvious that I was entering into a high-risk lease rather than a traditional loan. The only early buyout option offered was within 30 days, and even that required full payment of the items market value, regardless of any payments already made. 

I take full responsibility for not reviewing the agreement more thoroughly, and I am willing to pay what I owe. However, I strongly believe this type of business model should not be legal. Financing plans for consumer goods under {$2000.00} should not be structured like lease-to-own agreements, which are typically used for vehicles or rental furniture. 

I respectfully ask the CFPB to investigate this financial product and how it is marketed to consumers. Even if this arrangement is technically legal, it appears to violate the spirit of fair lending and transparent business practices. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
