Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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.

Company: V and H Portfolio

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed this with the credit the Vance and Huffman LLC along with Equifax. I never received documentation from Vance and Huffman verifying that I owe this debt, let alone whom I supposedly owe the debt too. Since they were not able to verify this debt according to the Fair Debt Credit and Collection laws, it should be removed from my credit reports immediately. I also disputed this with Equifax and all they did was put on my credit report that I disagreed with their findings. Equifax never informed me of how they came to the conclusion that I owed this debt, nor have they sent me proof of their verification.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, This is a formal supplement to my previous CFPB complaint filed on XX/XX/year>, against Equifax regarding inaccurate tradeline and address reporting. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 1681i ( a ), Equifax was legally required to complete a reinvestigation within 30 days of receiving my dispute. That 30-day period expired on XX/XX/year>. However, as of today, I have not received any substantive response or final results of a reinvestigation. 

A generic acknowledgment that a dispute is being reviewed does not satisfy the FCRA. The law requires that the credit reporting agency provide : 1. The final results of the reinvestigation.

2. The name and contact details of any data furnisher consulted.

3. A copy of all documentation used to verify the information.

Equifax is now in violation of FCRA 1681i ( a ), and I request immediate enforcement action from the CFPB to ensure compliance and protect my rights.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of a late payment on my credit report in relation to the above-referenced account. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors are required to provide a reasonable time for consumers to make their payments before assessing late fees or reporting the payment as delinquent.

Under the law, a payment must not be treated as late unless the creditor has provided a minimum of 21 days between the date the statement was mailed or delivered and the due date. After reviewing my records, I believe that this standard may not have been met, or that the payment was in fact made within the proper timeframe and incorrectly recorded as late. 
Therefore, I request that you : Conduct an investigation into this matter ;, Provide the specific billing statement in question, including the statement date and due date ;, Correct any inaccuracies found and remove the late payment from all records and any credit bureau to which it was reported ;, Provide written confirmation of the outcome of your investigation., Please consider this letter a formal dispute under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I expect a response within the time allotted by law. If this matter is not resolved appropriately, I am prepared to escalate the dispute to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and other relevant regulators.

I am filing this complaint regarding the BEST BUY/CBNA account ( account number : XXXX, opened on XX/XX/year> ), which is inaccurately reported and outdated. Despite my dispute, no investigation was conducted, and the incorrect information remains on my credit report. 

This failure to correct the inaccurate reporting violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and negatively impacts my credit profile. The continued presence of this erroneous information shows a disregard for data accuracy requirements.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Company: LEXISNEXIS

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations.

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.
