Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal and urgent complaint regarding the inaccurate personal information that is being reported on my consumer credit report. I have made multiple attempts to rectify this issue, yet it remains unresolved, and I am extremely frustrated by the lack of action taken to correct these errors. 

The inaccurate information being reported is as follows : Incorrect Address - XXXX XXXX CT, XXXX, AL, XXXX Incorrect Address - XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, AL, XXXX Incorrect Address - XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA, XXXX EMPLOYER - XXXX XXXX EMPLOYER - XXXX XXXXhis inaccurate information is damaging my credit profile and severely affecting my financial wellbeing. Despite my attempts to dispute this with the credit reporting agencies and the responsible entities, the incorrect data continues to be reported, showing a blatant disregard for the accuracy and fairness requirements set forth under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I am demanding immediate removal of the erroneous personal information from my consumer report. It is unacceptable that my credit is being harmed due to mistakes that are not mine. The credit reporting agencies and the entities involved are clearly in violation of the law, and I expect swift action to resolve this matter. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau launch a full investigation into this matter and take immediate steps to ensure that my credit report reflects only accurate and verified information. 

I expect this issue to be addressed and resolved without further delay. If this situation is not remedied promptly, I will be forced to take further action, including pursuing legal options to hold the responsible parties accountable for the ongoing damage to my credit and personal reputation.Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I expect a prompt response and resolution to this issue.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I've noticed several items on my Equifax credit report that dont appear to be fully accurate or reported in a way that reflects my actual credit history. Some of these accounts are outdated, conflicting, or formatted in ways that seem to go against industry standards like XXXX XXXX and I believe some may be violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) as well. 

Heres what stands out : XXXX or more accounts are showing a charge-off status but are still reporting active balances. In addition to that, they seem to be updating with CO ( charge-off ) notations every single month which makes it look like Im continually missing payments on an account thats already been closed. That doesnt seem right and may be re-aging the debt, which isnt allowed under FCRA XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

A couple of tradelines are listed as closed while also marked as in collection. I dont think those statuses should be showing at the same time, and it creates confusion about whether the account is settled or still active. 

There are also issues with the dates. Some accounts have inconsistent or inaccurate dates for things like the Date Opened, Date of First Delinquency ( DOFD ), and Date of Last Activity ( DLA ). If those arent reported correctly, it could extend how long the negative info stays on my report which I understand is a violation of FCRA XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ). 

Lastly, Ive seen a few revolving accounts with utilization listed over XXXX XXXX That doesnt seem possible based on my actual usage, so its likely that the credit limits arent being updated properly. 

Ive tried addressing this before, but the problems havent been resolved and at this point, I need these accounts to be reviewed with more attention to compliance.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I'd like to emphasize that I am the one submitting this complaint and there is no third party involved. Despite having sent multiple letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by identitytheft.gov as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under identitytheft.gov clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through identitytheft.gov, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid.

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report. 
XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX ) : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.
