Complaint narrative:
E

quifaxs repeated failure to address my disputes with care and thoroughness is now more than just negligenceit has become a pattern, one that echoes the same serious concerns the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has already investigated. I will not allow my credit file to remain stained by errors that Equifax has failed to verify or remove, especially when that failure comes at a direct cost to my well-being and future. You have an obligation to treat consumer disputes seriously, and yet it feels as though my concerns have been dismissed entirely.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i, Equifax is legally required to reinvestigate all disputed items within 30 days, and to delete any information that can not be fully and independently verified. That means verifiable proofnot assumptions, not recycled data from unreliable sources. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ), any information found to be incomplete, inaccurate, or unverifiable must be corrected or removed entirely. I am demanding immediate corrective action, not another automated response. If you fail to do your job now, I will escalate this matter through every available channel. You are not just mishandling datayou are mishandling lives.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
These entries are incorrect and do not accurately reflect my actual payment history. I have made multiple attempts to get these discrepancies investigated and corrected, yet no meaningful action has been taken. Despite providing all necessary documentation and following up several times, these errors remain unresolved. This ongoing issue has caused financial stress and has taken a serious toll on my well-being. Dealing with these inaccurate entries has been frustrating and exhausting. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to a credit report that accurately represents my financial history. This includes the prompt correction of outdated or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate action to update or remove these late payment entries, as failing to do so is a direct violation of my rights under federal law. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a resolution as soon as possible.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Ive recently discovered several late payment notations on my credit report that are completely false, and I want to make it clear that I will not tolerate these inaccuracies being used to misjudge my financial character. These harmful entries are dragging down my credit score, affecting my access to opportunities, and putting unnecessary strain on my mental and emotional health. Some of these alleged late payments were in fact made on time, while others may stem from clerical mistakes or internal processing delays that were never communicated to me.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that every piece of data on a consumer report be factually accurate and verifiable by original documentation. That means if these late payment entries can not be backed up with real, dated billing statements or signed agreements, they should not be reported at all. I am demanding that these entries be immediately corrected or removed, depending on what the documentation proves. If the credit reporting agencies or furnishers continue to ignore this matter, I will interpret that as a willful and deliberate violation of federal lawand respond accordingly. I deserve better, and I will fight until this is made right.

Complaint narrative:
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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
What happened? ( Complaint narrative ) : I am a victim of identity theft and have submitted disputes and identity theft reports multiple times to Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion under FCRA 605B. I also submitted an FTC Identity Theft Report and a police report, requesting an immediate block and removal of fraudulent accounts as required by law. 
Despite this, the credit bureaus have continued reporting these unauthorized accounts and failed to block the disputed information. Additionally, they failed to update my personal identifying information, such as removing incorrect names, addresses, and employment entries, even after multiple requests. 
I also requested the Method of Verification ( MOV ) under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ), but I have not received any documentation or response. The reinvestigation processes were clearly automated ( via e-OSCAR ), not manual, and relied on frozen XXXX files, which makes the verification invalid. 
This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 605B, 611, 607, 616, and 617. These errors have caused damage to my credit, stress, and hardship. I am seeking an immediate block of the fraudulent data, correction of my personal file, and confirmation in writing of the actions taken.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
LOAN # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NC XXXX Freedom Mortgage Dear Freedom Mortgage I am writing to formally express my deep concerns regarding the recent actions taken by Freedom Mortgage, which I believe to be unacceptable and unjust. I have been locked out of my home on XXXX separate occasions due to false claims that the property was vacant, despite my prior communications notifying your office of my temporary absence while caring for my father, who has since passed away. 
The involvement of XXXX  has further escalated this situation, as they not only locked me out, cut my water off, but also unlawfully accessed my property, stealing belongings and breaking into my locked closet. I have patiently attempted to address these grievances, including my efforts to work out a deed in lieu, which was acknowledged as a viable option by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX. Unfortunately, these discussions have yielded no progress, and I have only received monthly correspondence indicating that my case is still under review. 
The ongoing neglect and discriminatory actions I have faced from Freedom Mortgage are intolerable. Should I face any further attempts to foreclose or experience another unlawful lockout, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action against your firm. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Despite my : Verified in-school enrollment ( XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ), Documentation provided to both lenders, Submission of a bar study deferment form, Open dispute with XXXX, And active complaints with CFPB and XXXX XXXX  Attorney General, XXXX has now increased the balance on my private loan by approximately {$2000.00} in a single month. This was done without disclosure, itemization, or legal justification while I remain in a protected deferment period. 

In addition to this sudden and unjustified debt inflation, they : Lowered my XXXX  credit score by XXXX points during a legal dispute Are reporting a status in violation of FCRA and Truth in Lending rules Are attempting to create false delinquency where none exists This constitutes a pattern of retaliatory, abusive, and misleading conduct and is now causing material financial harm. I request immediate federal review of both XXXX and their servicing partner, MOHELA. 

I respectfully demand : A freeze and correction of all inaccurate and inflated balances Removal of any negative marks applied during dispute Immediate cease of illegal debt accumulation during verified deferment An itemized accounting of how this increase occurred Penalties imposed if found in violation of UDAAP or FCRA I am pursuing legal aid and will continue to escalate this matter if unresolved.

Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Tate and Kirlin Assoc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because Tate & Kirlin Associates continues to contact and harass me via phone calls and voicemail message. Also, I sent a certified debt validation letter dated XX/XX/year>, formally disputing the alleged debt under the FDCPA. 

Despite my legal right to validation before any further collection activity, I received at least one voicemail message and unsolicited calls from their office. These actions are both intimidating and unlawful, and they violate my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which prohibits contact until validation is provided. 

I clearly requested all further contact cease until full validation is received. Their disregard of this request and continued collection efforts constitute harassment and a willful violation of federal law.
