Consumer complaint received 2023-02-17 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to report that I have been the victim of identity theft, as evidenced by unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. According to 15 U.S.C 1681, credit report agencies are acting unlawfully and defaming my character by allowing these inquiries to appear on my credit report without my permission. These unauthorized inquiries have resulted in significant damage to my credit score and have made it difficult for me to apply for credit. As a result, I believe that the credit bureaus have violated my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting act, which requires that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate and up-to-date information about consumers. I urge the CFPB to take swift action to address this issue and ensure that credit reporting agencies are held accountable for their actions. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide to rectify this situation and restore my credit report to its rightful state. Thank you

Complaint narrative:
Theyre saying I owe I debt that I never consented too. Then added it to my collections, which in turn made it a bit difficult to take out a person loan thatll help consolidate my credit card debt. Theyre trying to get paid twice and Im not having it. They already filed a 1099. So they should be the ones paying that debt. Especially since I didnt give them the consent to sell my information

Issue: Getting a credit card — Problem getting a working replacement card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a Capital One Savor Card XX/XX/XXXX and was approved. I was told I would receive the card within 14 days. I waited over 20 and called after not getting it and it was cancelled and I was told a new card would be sent and I would receive it by XX/XX/XXXX. It is the XXXX and still no card so I called and explained I did not want to cancel the card only to be in the same place 3 weeks later with no new card and the agent promised me before cancelling the current card on the way that the replacement card would be sent a different way with 3 day express shipping waived no fees due to the fact a month after opening account I had no card after waiting thru 2 cards sent. He cancelled the card but could not follow thru on sending one express said he had no way to do it and now I am stuck with no card on the account as I said don't send out a 3rd card just to be in same situation as I was lied to and the supervisor told me pretty much tough luck he lied to you but I can't activate the card he cancelled and I can't honor the express shipping and refused to get anyone higher leaving me with no card no account essentially. I told him I would open this and he had no cares.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I called Experian at XXXX today, XX/XX/XXXX to freeze my credit. I provided my data and was told I had to continue online or mail in a request. Having provided proper identification to the consumer reporting agency, they are required to offer a toll-free telephone to allow consumers free of charge to freeze their credit within one business day.

Please note that I am continuing to incur damages as a result of Experian not freezing my credit pursuant to the regulations in the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act of 2018 and value damages at no less than {$500.00} per diem.

I request the immediate freeze of my account and the remittance of the damages incurred by Experian.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
15 US Code 1681e states that every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title.

I am not satisfied with my previous dispute because I have reason to believe that this company did not follow reasonable procedures when investigating the items that I disputed on my credit report, I believe that the company 's investigation was done by an automated eOscar system which is why the investigation yielded inaccurate and false information 15 US Code 1681i ( Section 5 paragraph A ) states that Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) PROMPTLY DELETE that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

From my understanding this company could be held liable for willful noncompliance under 15 US Code 1681n especially due to the statutory and actual damages i've suffered

Complaint narrative:
I have been disputing this account for a few months now and havent received anything concrete to keep it on my credit file. This is a violation of my rights. I do not believe the credit bureaus have been throughly looking into my disputes. I have attached my dispute letters that include, metro 2 compliance data as well as consumer law challenges under the Fair Credit Reporting Act! How are these accounts simply coming back as verified with no proof of thorough actual work being done. This is beyond messed up! The credit bureaus have been violating our rights for years. How long will the CFPB let this nonsense stand! 

I am reaching out to the CFPB today because I am hoping that you will be able to get me some real answers and have my best interest at heart because the credit bureaus obviously dont!

I submitted multiple written disputes to XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion regarding incorrect, invalid, inaccurate, and potentially fraudulent information on my personal consumer credit reports with XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion. 

The responses from XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion clearly violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). There was either no proof of any investigation and no proof of any verification of the disputed items to conclude the items were " verified as accurate and should remain ''. I demanded proof and documentation of the investigation to verify these disputes items when I requested the items be removed from my credit report. I have sent multiple written disputes including challenging hard inquiries, collection accounts, charged-off accounts, late payments etc. The FCRA requires original documentation verifying these items belong to me and a signature which nothing was provided to me from XXXX, XXXX, or TransUnion. I have not received any documentation to date from XXXX, XXXX, or TransUnion that shows proof these accounts were authorized and signed for by me so the FCRA requires the credit bureau agencies to delete them.
