Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an Experian & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

However, my contact with that company was responding to pre-approval invitations that I turned down after not liking the terms and conditions after completing the pre-qualifications. I was not made aware that I was applying for any loans. Thank you all for looking into this

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
The rescission language in TILA, 15 U.S.C. 1635. I looked over the document you provided, and I did not see or sign any rescind documents allowing you to report to anyone. That is the document I requested. They sent the information about my purchasing the vehicle. When I sent the 2nd request to Capital One Auto Finance, they stated it was duplicated. How can it be a duplication, when you never responded correctly the first time? So, I am sending it again for the 3rd time, and I hope this time it will reach a desk that can read and comprehend English. I like the 3 disclosure copies I signed to give Capital One Auto Financepermission to report to the consumer reporting agencies.

Complaint narrative:
I regret to inform you that I can not accept your decision to dismiss my identity theft claim by attributing it to an error or a misrepresentation of material fact. It raises serious concerns as to how and why you possess the authority to determine what constitutes a material fact. It's worth noting that your role does not grant you the powers of a judge or jury, nor any inherent right to make such determinations. 
According to the guidelines set forth by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), when an FTC identity theft report has been filed with a law enforcement agency ( which the FTC itself is ), the protocol is to adhere to the law and investigate accordingly. 
XXXX XXXX I am willing to grant you one final opportunity to process my request concerning my identity theft. Failure to do so will compel me to seek legal recourse through the judicial system. In such a scenario, you will be held accountable for the damage caused to my reputation, credit, and the emotional distress I have endured throughout this ordeal. It is highly likely that what constitutes a material fact will become abundantly clear during legal proceedings, and you may be required to compensate me for your negligence. 
I implore you to take immediate action to resolve this matter within the five-day timeframe mandated by law. 
Please manage your responsibilities accordingly.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
After sending the FTC report of identity theft in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/2023, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sent me a letter on XXXX XX/XX/2023 saying that they are refusing to remove the collection for XXXX  at XXXX. They then threatened to extort me. This is a racketeering activity and conspiracy to commit racketeering activity carries a sentence of imprisonment of 20 to life. Telling me that I must pay this amount or we will violate your right to privacy by reporting late payments to the credit reporting agencies without your written permission to ruin your financial reputation which equals extortion. They made false allegations that they sent me a letter to my address which they do not have and it was delivered. It most certainly was not certified because I never received such a letter. I sent them my identity theft affidavit as well as the XXXX at XXXX. I attempted to file a police report but they said I have to do it in person from the place I resided when the incident occurred but I do not reside there anymore. They have been harassing me and have extorted me by adding negative information to my credit report in an attempt to collect an alleged debt that they have not proven to be mine. This is the second time someone has sold my social on the internet and I have experienced identity theft but all three credit bureaus have allowed them to add such negative information. This makes XXXX, Transunion, XXXX an accessory and conspiracy to racketeering.
