Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information reported on my credit report concerning a charge-off. Below are the details of the account in question : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> * * The highlighted info can be obtained directly from your credit report. If you need assistance with getting your credit report please see the instructions page included. 
It has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off. 
Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score.

Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). 
Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper. 
I request an immediate investigation into this matter and the correction of my credit report by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this letter to you because I feel extremely upset and I need to block, delete, or dispute all incorrect information in my credit report obtained from Transunion. In order to exercise my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681i, which states that it is your duty to provide me with all actions you took to verify the data in my credit report. If you can not verify the items I am requesting to block, delete, or dispute, it is your obligation to remove them from my credit report immediately. 
Furthermore, under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( 15 USC 6802 ), I have an essential right to privacy regarding my financial information. Additionally, 15 USC 1681 ( 4 ) under the FCRA states the importance of maintaining my privacy as a consumer in credit reports.

Without legal function, as shown in 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ), it has been established that Experian shouldn't have a credit report on my behalf. Transunion has neither my permission nor a valid purpose to disclose my credit report containing my personal information. The absence of such a purpose makes the presence of this information a violation of my privacy rights, which is very frustrating for me.

I can also add, 18 USC 1028a which talks about identity theft and its associated penalties, emphasizing that identity theft is a serious crime. Furthermore, by using my personal information without my authorization, it is a criminal act against my privacy and they are violating my rights as a consumer.

According to the law 15 USC 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are required to block information that results from identity theft. The transactions in question were not conducted by me. If my information has been compromised due to identity theft, I expect Transunion to take all necessary action to correct and block this information as ordered by law. 
Moreover, this means I request a formal investigation into my dispute and the removal of any incorrect information from Transunion records if it is determined that no permissible purpose exists for maintaining this information. I expect Transunion to comply with the FCRA, 18 USC 1028a, and 15 USC 1681c-2 to fix any issues related to identity theft.

I hope for a prompt response to this situation in the next 30 days, along with the results of your investigation. If my report is not corrected or removed in accordance with the law, I will take legal action. This is happening to me, causing my mental health to diminish and a constant turmoil of emotions.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

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, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I recieved a text message claiming to be from my bank ( truist ). The message said, did I authorize a transfer of {$2400.00}, answer with a y or n. I answered with an n. Right after that, I recieved another text message that said a representative will contact you shortly. About 5 mins later, I recieved a phone call from XXXX, claiming they were truist bank. Telling me to go into on line banking so we could reverse the transfer. They even sent me a code to verify me on line. They then had me go into XXXX, and transfer money. I contacted truist the next morning, after I thought that seemed odd. Truist said they couldn't recoup the funds. This was way too easy for someone to get scammed. Should be a waiting period before funds are transferred. So u have time to check and see if it was a scam.
