Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts and inquiries 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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax are reporting accounts on my credit report that are past the seven-year reporting period, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The following accounts from XXXX XXXX are outdated and should have been removed from my credit report : XXXX  # XXXX Balance : {$3800.00} Closed Date : XX/XX/year> XXXX  # XXXX Balance : {$2800.00} Closed Date : XX/XX/year> These accounts have exceeded the seven-year reporting limit, yet they are still being listed on my credit file. I have disputed these accounts in the past, but they have not been removed, and this is causing ongoing harm to my credit report. 

According to FCRA Section 605 ( a ), negative information must be removed from a consumer 's credit report after seven years from the date of first delinquency or account closure, whichever is later. These accounts should no longer be reported, and I am requesting immediate removal. 

Desired Resolution : I would like the CFPB to ensure that XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax remove the outdated accounts from my credit report immediately and provide written confirmation of this action. I also request that they comply with the FCRA and FDCPA guidelines by removing the information that is no longer legally reportable.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to address inaccurate and unverifiable late payment entries reported on my credit report by several companies, including XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TN XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. Despite my efforts to dispute these entries directly with the credit bureau, Experian, they have not been corrected or removed. 

Specifically, the credit report lists the following disputed entries : XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX Reported late payments : XX/XX/XXXX ( 30 days late ), XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX ( 30 to 150 days late ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX Reported late payment : XX/XX/XXXX ( 30 days late ) TN XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX Reported late payment : XX/XX/XXXX ( 120 days late ) XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX Reported late payments : XX/XX/XXXX ( 30 days late ), XX/XX/XXXX ( 30 days late ) I believe these entries are inaccurate and/or unverifiable.

Additionally, I requested the " method of verification '' to confirm these entries comply with FCRA guidelines. To date, Experian has not provided sufficient documentation to substantiate these entries or address my concerns.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TrueAccord Corp.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
An entity known as " XXXX '' says that I owe them {$780.00}. I had never heard of " XXXX '' before the threatening emails trying to collect money from me. I do not have an account with XXXX. I have never applied for an account with XXXX. I have no idea as to who XXXX may be. They are ruining my otherwise stellar credit rating over a debt that I do not owe. After receiving several absurd emails saying that I owe them a debt, I called them. Two different times ( XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> ). I called XXXX and they demanded my personal information. I refused to give my personal information to such people. They were completely uncooperative. 

This is starting to look a lot like extortion. Ruin someone's credit rating if they refuse to pay an amount they do not owe. I plan to file a complaint with any governmental authorities needed.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
It is crucial that consumer reporting agencies uphold their grave responsibilities when it comes to the handling of consumers personal credit files. After performing a re-investigation upon my credit file for account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX pursuant to 15 USC 1681ia1a , your company failed to follow proper procedures regarding correspondence to me the consumer, in the handling of the reinvestigation. 
As clearly outlined within, 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) ; 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy Subchapter 7 states the following ; ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a detailed description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description. 
Further outlined within 15 USC ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) ; ( 6 ) Notice of results of reinvestigation ( A ) In general A consumer reporting agency shall provide written notice to a consumer of the results of a reinvestigation under this subsection not later than 5 business days after the completion of the reinvestigation, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by other means available to the agency.

The correspondence mentioned above was NEVER made to me and therefore, your company is in direct violation of the FCRA and is now liable for monetary damages detailed within 15 USC 1681n and 15 USC 1681o. 
Not only was a proper reinvestigation not performed as the derogatory account mentioned is erroneous to begin with, your agency failed to follow the FCRAs clear rules in the handling of correspondence to me in association with the account in question. Please delete this erroneous account as I have sought legal counsel in this matter and intend on seeking damages associated with this complaint if this issue is not resolved. Thank you for your time.
