Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I recently reviewed my credit reports and found multiple accounts and inquiries being reported inaccurately. Several accounts are showing incorrect balances, inconsistent dates of first delinquency, and in some cases duplicate reporting of the same debt. A number of charged-off and collection accounts are being updated with misleading or unverifiable information, including continued reporting of past-due amounts after the accounts were closed. Some tradelines appear to have been re-aged to remain on my report longer than legally allowed. In addition, there are hard inquiries that I did not authorize, and no documentation has been provided to show a permissible purpose for them. Despite prior disputes, the companies involved have failed to correct or remove these inaccuracies, and they continue to negatively affect my credit profile.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, OH XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Equifax Information Services, LLC XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX RE : Second Dispute Inaccurate Post-Bankruptcy Reporting Account : [ Creditor Name ], Account No. XXXX To Whom It May Concern, This is my second written dispute regarding the above-referenced account. I filed for XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of XXXX  ( Case No. [ insert case number ] ). 

Despite my prior dispute, Equifax is still reporting late payments in XX/XX/XXXX ( 60 days late ) and XX/XX/XXXX ( 90 days late ) on this account. These entries are factually and legally inaccurate because : 1. The automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. 362 prohibits any collection activity, including new delinquency reporting, after the bankruptcy filing date.

2. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) and 1681i, requires Equifax to ensure maximum possible accuracy in credit file information and to correct or delete any data that is inaccurate or unverifiable. 
3. Once I filed for bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX, the account should have been updated to reflect a bankruptcy indicator ( XXXX ), with no new late payments reported after the filing date and a balance of {$0.00} if discharged.

Equifaxs continued reporting of post-bankruptcy late payments after my initial dispute constitutes willful noncompliance with the FCRA. 

Demand : Remove all late payment notations dated after XX/XX/XXXX on this account. 
Update the account to show bankruptcy status with no past-due amounts after the filing date.

Provide me with an updated copy of my credit report reflecting these corrections within 15 days.

If Equifax fails to make these corrections, I will escalate this matter by filing a complaint with the CFPB and pursuing legal remedies, including arbitration or federal litigation, for violations of the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter and am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution.
