Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to address inaccurate and misreported information that has been wrongfully included in my credit report. There is an account listed that does not belong to me and appears to be mistakenly linked to my profile. This error is severely damaging my credit standing and raises serious concerns regarding my ongoing issue with fraud and identity theft. This incorrect reporting is a direct violation of my rights as a consumer and is unfairly impacting my financial reputation. I have already disputed this with XXXX and XXXX, and they have confirmed its removal from my credit file. However, it still remains on my report with your bureau, which is unacceptable. This incorrect reporting is a direct violation of my rights as a consumer and is unfairly impacting my financial reputation.

Complaint narrative:
The date of medical service was XX/XX/XXXX when I was still in the military not only was XXXX XXXX going to cover the XXXX but the place XXXX XXXX didnt get their billing provider XXXX that matches their TAX ID, sounds shady or like a big clerical error to me. Anyways I got out of the military XX/XX/XXXX and got multiple letters to which I called the number back and told them the issue but they didnt go correct it or look into it. Not a brain cell of theirs intuitively thought hey lets get our tax ID right and get our {$430.00} No instead they want to slander a Veterans name and credit by sending this to collections. I called XXXX XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX to go over the issue and have proof of the amount to be covered. So the fact that both sides let this fall and Im the one to suffer really makes my blood boil.

I am formally disputing the following negative items on my credit report : XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XX/XX/year> These entries remain unverified and questionable.

State: MS

Complaint narrative:
Request for Immediate Removal of Inaccurate Fraud Alert Statement on Credit Report TransUnion and Equifax I am submitting this formal dispute against TransUnion and Equifax, regarding an inaccurate fraud alert placed in the personal statement section of my credit report. 

This inaccurate statement is not reflective of my current situation, and its continued presence is causing direct harm by obstructing my ability to obtain credit. Several lenders have denied or delayed my applications as a result of this flag, which wrongly implies that I am a victim of identity theft or that some fraudulent activity has occurred which is not the case. 

I have contacted TransUnion and Equifax multiple times by phone in an effort to resolve this issue, yet no action has been taken. 

Despite repeated requests, the fraudulent alert remains on my profile, and I have received no resolution, written confirmation, or proper investigation to support its presence.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to request the deletion of a specific account from my credit report with TransUnion Consumer Solutions due to inaccurate and inconsistent information, based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
Details of the Account in Dispute : Account Number : XXXX Creditor Name : XXXX Incorrect information identified in reports from all three credit bureaus.

Legal Grounds for Information Deletion : Right to Accurate Information ( FCRA, Section 609 - 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) : I request that the authenticity of this account be manually verified with the original creditor, rather than relying on the automated e-OSCAR system, and that I receive a detailed explanation of the verification process.

Reinvestigation of Disputed Information ( FCRA, Section 611 - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : Under this section, I demand a full reinvestigation of the account and immediate correction of any inaccurate information.

Deletion of Inaccurate or Unverified Information ( FCRA, Section 611 ( 5 ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) ) : In accordance with the FCRA, if the information can not be verified, it must be removed from the report.

Responsibility of Information Furnishers ( FCRA, Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) : The creditors inability to validate this information warrants its removal.

Compliance with Accuracy Procedures ( FCRA, Section 607 - 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : The inaccuracy in my report suggests a failure to adhere to required accuracy procedures.

Permissible Purposes for Access ( FCRA, Section 604 - 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) : I request confirmation that access to my report was legitimate. If it was not, I request the removal of any unauthorized data.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA, Section 1601 - 15 U.S.C. 1601 ) : TILA reinforces my right to accurate information, and the presence of this inaccurate account contradicts that right.

Supporting Case Law : In Cortez v. Trans Union, LLC ( 617 F.3d 688 ), the responsibility of credit bureaus to adequately investigate consumer disputes is emphasized. Dennis v. BEH-1, LLC further reinforces the obligation to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure accuracy.
