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.

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 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any 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:
TransUnions investigation results ( XX/XX/XXXX ) on my XXXX savings account ( ending XXXX ) did not fix the error. Instead, TransUnion re-labeled the tradelines Loan Type as Deposit Acct Overdraft Protection and continued to report a credit charge-off. 

That is wrong and contradicted by the record. My official XXXX savings statements submitted to TransUion Directly shows Total Overdraft Fees : {$0.00} every period, including when the account went negative. 

I never opted into or signed any overdraft agreement, and XXXX managers confirmed there was no overdraft protection on this savings account. 

Savings accounts do not carry overdraft lines. By standard banking practice, a savings account is a deposit product only. There was never any extension of credit, and therefore no debt that could lawfully be charged off. 

Timeline ( key facts from the statements ) : XX/XX/XXXX : {$1000.00} debit balance {$620.00} ; Overdraft Fees : {$0.00}. 
XX/XX/XXXX : {$1000.00} debit balance {$1600.00} ; Overdraft Fees : {$0.00}. 
XX/XX/XXXX : {$1600.00} deposit, balance restored to {$0.00} and Overdraft Fees : {$0.00} throughout. 

TransUnion ignored the evidence. Despite my uploading these official statements ( showing {$0.00} overdraft fees and no overdraft coverage ), TransUnion still reported Loan Type : Deposit Acct Overdraft Protection. Calling that an investigation is just parroting the furnisher and not a reasonable reinvestigation under FCRA 1681i. The coding is also internally misleading ( deposit account in one field ; Charge-Off in pay status ), violating the 1681e ( b ) accuracy standard. 

I have attached the XXXX statements with the periods, transactions, and Total Overdraft Fees : {$0.00} lines highlighted, further proving no overdraft existed and no credit was extended.

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my credit reports, I found multiple accounts and inquiries being reported inaccurately and without proper validation. XXXX XXXX is showing an account that is listed as current, but at the same time reports severe delinquencies ( 30120 days ) throughout XXXX and XXXX. An account can not be both current and severely delinquentthis contradictory reporting is inaccurate and misleading. 

XXXX XXXX is reporting a charged-off account for {$110.00}, marked as disputed, subscriber disagrees. Despite prior disputes, no validation or supporting documentation has ever been provided, yet the account remains listed as derogatory. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a collection account for {$1600.00} allegedly tied to XXXX XXXX Bank. This account has been marked as disputed in the past, but no chain-of-custody, assignment, or proof of ownership has ever been provided to validate its accuracy. On Equifax, the same XXXX XXXX account is reported under a different number, creating duplicate reporting across bureaus. 

In addition, Experian continues to show multiple hard inquiries from lenders, credit card companies, and auto dealers XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, and XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX Many of these inquiries were not authorized and are unfairly damaging my credit profile. Despite my disputes, these inaccurate accounts and inquiries remain unresolved.

Complaint narrative:
Multiple unauthorized accounts appearing on my credit report are directly connected to identity theft incidents, and I have never granted written consent or provided any signature authorizing their placement on my file. These fraudulent entries have created substantial hardship in my personal and financial life, preventing me from securing essential credit for major purchases and causing ongoing stress for my family. The inaccurate reporting has damaged my creditworthiness and blocked legitimate opportunities for financial growth. I am demanding immediate corrective action to remove these disputed items, as their continued presence violates my consumer rights and misrepresents my actual credit obligations.

Complaint narrative:
I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.
