Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the three major credit bureausExperian, XXXX, and XXXX ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with Metro 2 Format and CDIA industry standards.

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court.

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information Metro 2 and CDIA Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency may not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself. '' Cushman v. Trans Union Corp., 115 F.3d 220 ( 3rd Cir. 1997 ) These harms are measurable, preventable, and attributable to willful negligence and disregard of consumer protection law.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against TransUnion for reporting multiple inaccurate items on my credit report and for failing to ensure the accuracy and integrity of my consumer information as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

My credit report shows an address listed as XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, which does not belong to me. I have never lived at that address, nor have I ever been associated with it in any way. This is a serious error that needs immediate correction and removal from my report. 

Additionally, my credit report is showing a XXXX XXXX account ( Account XXXX. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX opened on XX/XX/XXXX, reported with a late payment. This reporting is completely inaccurate. I have always made all my payments on time and have never been late. This false reporting is harming my credit profile and must be corrected immediately to show a perfect payment history with no delinquencies. 

My report also lists several unauthorized inquiries from the following companies : XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX  ( XX/XX/XXXX ). I did not authorize or consent to any of these companies accessing my credit information. Under FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ), there must be a permissible purpose for obtaining a consumers credit report. Since I did not apply for credit or grant permission for these inquiries, they are unauthorized and must be deleted from my file immediately. 

I am requesting that TransUnion conduct a full investigation into these matters and remove all inaccurate and unauthorized information from my credit report. These errors have caused harm to my credit standing and have interfered with my ability to obtain fair credit opportunities. I expect TransUnion to comply with the FCRA and provide me with written confirmation once these corrections are made.

These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express iny concerns regarding chimes handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Chime numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Chime failed to investigate my claims adequately. XXXX informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that Chime has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams.This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Reporting Violation of FCRA The details below are being reported in violation of several sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 
Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Type : Credit Card Account # : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Status : Charged off / Written off {$9900.00} Last Payment Date : XX/XX/XXXX Status Updated : XX/XX/XXXX Balance Updated : XX/XX/XXXX Balance / Past Due : {$9900.00} Errors and Violations Found : 1. Incorrect and Inconsistent Dates ( FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) The account shows multiple conflicting update dates Status Updated : XX/XX/XXXX and Balance Updated : XX/XX/XXXX. A creditor can not continue updating or changing charge-off dates, as that misrepresents the accounts age and payment history. This practice violates FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( furnishing inaccurate information ) and can be considered re-aging.

2. Continued Negative Reporting After Charge-Off ( FCRA 605 ( a ) and 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) ) Once an account is charged off and closed, it can not continue to accrue past due balances or be updated as if it were active. Reporting a {$9900.00} past due as of XX/XX/XXXX when the account was already charged off is misleading and violates FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) by misrepresenting the Date of First Delinquency ( DOFD ) to extend how long it remains on my report.

3. Reporting a Written Off Account with a Balance ( FCRA 607 ( b ) ) When a creditor writes off an account, the balance owed should be listed as {$0.00} ( since the creditor has declared it uncollectible ). Listing the balance as {$9900.00} written off and {$9900.00} past due simultaneously is contradictory and violates FCRA 607 ( b ) ( failure to maintain maximum possible accuracy ).

4. Continuing to Report After a Completed Dispute ( FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ) The comment Completed investigation of FCRA dispute consumer disagrees shows that this account was already disputed, yet it remains unchanged despite lacking verifiable documentation. Under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), Experian must delete disputed information that can not be fully verified with the original creditor.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
This letter is a formal notice of dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurately reported late payment dates on the above-referenced account appearing in my credit file. 
The reported derogatory payment data is factually and legally incorrect and constitutes a violation of my rights under multiple federal statutes. 
Creditor Name : [ XXXX XXXX XXXX  ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] FCRA SECTION 602 RIGHT TO PRIVACY ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) Under the FCRA, I have a right to privacy in the handling and dissemination of my credit information. The credit bureau is not permitted to report data that is inaccurate, unverifiable, or misleading, especially when such reporting creates a false impression of delinquency. 
FCRA SECTION 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) NO WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION GIVEN ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from furnishing account information without the consumers written instructions. I have never given written authorization for the dissemination of false or misleading late payment information.

TILA SECTION 1666b IMPROPER LATE PAYMENT DESIGNATION ( 15 U.S.C. 1666b ) According to the Truth in Lending Act, a creditor may not treat a payment on an open-end credit account as late for any purpose if received by the due date or within the grace period. 
Reporting a late payment that was not legally late is a blatant violation of this federal protection and exposes both the data furnisher and the credit reporting agency to liability under 15 U.S.C.

1681i.
