Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint FTC Report Number : XXXX as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be no 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: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, 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 enclosing a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer files a report of identity theft, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as being the product of such theft within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. 


The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be frozen XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately frozen from my credit report. This freeze must remain in effect for a period of XXXX year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported. 
I have contacted TRANSUNION multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive solution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely impacting me, as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my financial 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 bureaus, so I don't understand why this agency continues to claim these accounts belong to me. 
I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than XXXX  days, I have not received a response. I respectfully request that you help me by removing these accounts immediately.

They said they are still processing the affidavit and after processing it they must wait XXXX  days before reissuing my check. I had XXXX XXXX XXXX weeks ago and need the money to pay medical bills.

Complaint narrative:
When reviewing my credit reports, I found multiple accounts and inquiries being reported inaccurately and without proper validation. XXXX XXXX XXXX  is reporting two separate credit card accounts as charged-off with balances of {$510.00} and {$690.00}. These accounts contain inconsistencies across bureaus and no proper validation has ever been provided. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a {$20.00} account as charged-off and written off, which is disproportionate and harmful for such a XXXX-dollar account, and no original documentation has been provided. XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX is reporting a secured card as charged-off with a {$110.00} balance written off, but continues to list derogatory history even after closure. XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a {$500.00} account as charged-off, yet the account remains derogatory despite being disputed and no evidence has been supplied to verify the accuracy of the balance. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX are both being reported as charged-off accounts that were sold to another lender. They each show {$0.00} balances, yet continue to be listed as derogatory and remain on my reports without proof of ownership or chain of custody. XXXX XXXX  is reported as charged-off with {$3300.00} written off, but is also listed as a collection account with no legal validation. XXXX ( XXXX ) is reported as charged-off and transferred, but still shows derogatory reporting even though it has a {$0.00} balance. 

Finally, two active collection accounts remain : XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$690.00} ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$620.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). Neither collector has provided any proof of assignment or ownership of these debts. In addition, Experian and TransUnion continue to report multiple hard inquiries from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and others. These inquiries were not authorized and continue to harm my credit profile. 

Despite multiple disputes, these inaccurate and unverifiable accounts and inquiries remain.

Complaint narrative:
The reported late payments and charge-off accounts are inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable. The furnishers have failed to provide original, documented proof that these alleged delinquencies occurred. Without legally required validation, continued reporting of this negative information is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Reporting unverifiable derogatory information damages my credit standing and reflects negligent and unlawful reporting practices.

I already sent all required documents, including my FTC Identity Theft Affidavit, ID, proof of address, and other evidence, yet nothing has been resolved. Under the FCRA, fraudulent information should be blocked within four business days, a fraud alert should be placed to protect me, and a proper reinvestigation should be done. Instead, I keep receiving generic responses that say verified as accurate, without any proof or sources. This is unfair, unlawful, and continues to harm me.

Complaint narrative:
The consumer reporting agency has willfully violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports, by furnishing or reporting information on my credit file without any permissible purpose, written consent, or legal authorization. At no time did I grant authorization for this agency to obtain, use, or disclose my consumer information, and the continued reporting of such entries constitutes an unlawful act that compromises both the accuracy and integrity of my credit file. This misreporting has directly harmed my creditworthiness, caused emotional and financial distress, and placed undue barriers on my ability to secure credit, housing, and employment opportunities.
