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

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent and unauthorized information on my credit report under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and 15 U.S.C. 1681b, and to request that this information be blocked and removed immediately.

I have attached a copy of my police report/FTC identity theft report ( FTC REPORT XXXX : XXXX ) as proof that this information has been reported improperly. 

Legal Basis : Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681b and 1681c-2 Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681b Reporting Without My Consent : According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the inclusion of information in a credit report requires express written consent.

I never provided such consent for this account to be reported on my credit history, which constitutes a violation of the FCRA.

Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 Fraudulent Information Must Be Blocked : This section mandates that any fraudulent information on a credit report must be blocked immediately when the consumer formally notifies the credit bureau .

While this account may have been opened in my name, it was reported without my authorization, making it fraudulent and requiring immediate removal. 
Fraudulent Information to Be Blocked The following information on my credit report has been reported improperly and must be blocked and removed immediately : XXXX XXXX Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I formally request that this fraudulent information be blocked immediately from my credit report. This information must remain blocked for one year, after which I may request an extension of the block. During this period, this information must not be reported as valid nor allowed to reappear on my credit report.

Previous Attempts and Lack of Response I have made multiple attempts to contact the credit bureau regarding this fraudulent account, but they have failed to provide a solution to this issue. 

This has significantly impacted me, preventing me from acquiring a new home for my family. 
This account has been removed and not verified by other credit bureaus, so I do not understand why you continue to claim this account belongs to me. 
I have requested copies of the contracts from the company in question, but after more than 60 days, I have received no response. 
For these reasons, I request immediate action to block and remove this information from my credit report.

I live in CA and this would be disastrous with all the problems getting insurance in CA.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against XXXX, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where XXXX has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as XXXX 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint against TransUnion for willful and repeated violations of federal law. TransUnion refuses to correct my credit file despite multiple disputes, knowingly reporting false and inaccurate information. This concerns the fraudulent XXXX ( XXXX ) account, which I have disputed numerous times. TransUnion is the ONLY credit bureau reporting this accountXXXX and XXXX have never reported it. This raises a critical and urgent question : Why is TransUnion reporting an account that the other major bureaus do not? Are they fabricating their own version of my credit report? Are they willfully ignoring the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), assuming I will give up? I want to make this clear : I NEVER AUTHORIZED this account to be reported, nor have I ever had any relationship with this creditor. Under 15 USC 1681b ( f ), TransUnion has NO legal basis to report this account. Yet, despite repeated disputes, they refuse to remove it. This is not a simple oversightthis is deliberate noncompliance. TransUnion is knowingly violating federal law, specifically 15 USC 1681i, by failing to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation. Their repeated disregard of my disputes proves that they are acting in bad faith. At this point, TransUnions actions are not just negligentthey are intentional and illegal. Under 15 USC 1681n and 1681o, TransUnion is fully liable for statutory damages, actual damages, and punitive damages. Each violation carries penalties of at least {$1000.00} per occurrence, and with multiple disputes already filed, these violations are compounding.

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has once again failed to uphold its legal duty to ensure accurate credit reporting, and I am beyond frustrated with this blatant negligence. They are falsely reporting late payments on my XXXX XXXX XXXX account ( Account # XXXX ) even though my payment status clearly shows Paid as Agreed. How is this even possible? XXXX and XXXX have reported this account correctly, yet Equifax stands alone in misrepresenting my payment history. This reckless inaccuracy is unacceptable and is actively damaging my credit profile. Under 15 USC 1681e ( b ), Equifax is legally required to ensure maximum possible accuracy in consumer reports. Instead, they are violating this obligation by reporting false late payments that never happened. I am formally disputing these errors under 15 USC 1681i and demand an immediate reinvestigation and correction of this misinformation. I expect Equifax to update my credit file and provide written confirmation once this is resolved. If Equifax refuses to correct these errors, they will be in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and will be held legally accountable under 15 USC 1681n for willful noncompliance. This is not just an inconveniencethis is my credit, my financial stability, and my future at stake. I will not sit back and allow Equifax to continue damaging my credit due to incompetence or negligence. Fix this immediately.
