Consumer complaint received 2024-12-02 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY. 

The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system. 

I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: TransferWise Ltd
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XXXXXXXX XXXX  Thursday XX/XX/XXXX, three transactions were started within a couple of hours. They were for XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. They were all in pending status. 

I contacted the company and was told they could do nothing, but open a ticket with a department to which I was not permitted to speak. I was told to expect an email and to standby in case the department rep had more questions. I waited all of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday watching my email and then called again Monday morning. 

The representatives I was able to speak to Monday said they saw no ticket and were unable to help me in anyway other than to open another ticket. I suspect that those in the department handling the fraud may be the true source of the fraud as is often the case with large fraud networks. 

The debit card that was charged and has been canceled is XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding an unknown debt reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report, which is being reported by TransUnion. I have no knowledge of this alleged debt and have not been provided with any documentation to verify its validity. Despite my requests, neither XXXX XXXX XXXX nor TransUnion has validated the debt as required by law. The continued reporting of this account is causing undue harm to my creditworthiness. 

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ), I have the right to request validation of any alleged debt. This validation must include clear documentation proving that the debt is legitimately tied to me, along with information about the original creditor and the amount owed. XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to provide any of this information. 

Additionally, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), TransUnion is obligated to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information they report. By continuing to report this account without proper validation from XXXX XXXX XXXX, TransUnion is violating its legal responsibility to investigate and correct inaccurate or unverified information on consumer credit reports. 

I have contacted TransUnion multiple times regarding this matter, but no action has been taken to address the lack of validation or remove the unverified account from my report. The failure of both XXXX XXXX XXXX and TransUnion to comply with federal regulations has resulted in significant damage to my credit profile. 

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate this matter thoroughly. I seek the immediate removal of the XXXX XXXX XXXX account from my credit report across all three credit bureaus ( TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX ) unless proper validation of the debt is provided. The lack of compliance with the FDCPA and FCRA is unacceptable, and I ask for appropriate enforcement actions to ensure this issue is resolved promptly. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your assistance in rectifying this situation.

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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "
