Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX-VERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court US Bankruptcy Court that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Complaint narrative:
Im writing with serious concern after reviewing my credit report and finding multiple credit inquiries that I neither initiated nor authorized. When I checked my credit report in XX/XX/year>, I was alarmed to see several unfamiliar inquiries listed under my name. 

These inquiries are not associated with any actions I have taken, and their presence is both unexpected and distressing. I am concerned that they may be indicative of attempted identity theft. I respectfully request your assistance in investigating and removing these unauthorized inquiries from my credit report as soon as possible.

Complaint narrative:
Im filing this CFPB complaint out of complete frustration. This is already myfollow-up, and I still havent received any proper correction or response from XXXX  and TransUnion. They continue to report late payments on my XXXX  ( XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) accounts, even though XXXX, another major bureau, is showing a clean and positive payment history. How is it that only XXXX  can get it right? This is a clear violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which says CRAs must follow procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of whats reported. This has not been done. This isnt just about lateness ; its about inconsistent, inaccurate, and unverified data being reported as if its factual. The payment history being shown across the three bureaus is not the same, which proves there has been no proper investigation. Thats a direct violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ). The law says furnishers must verify data before its reported, and CRAs must ensure accuracy. Theyve both failed. Also, under 15 U.S.C. 1681b, there is no permissible purpose for XXXX  and TransUnion to include unverified late payments on my report. I never gave them any written authorization or consent to report these late, and its affecting my creditworthiness. As defined under 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), these types of transactions, especially ones based on internal account history, are not even supposed to be included as part of a consumer report. All payments on the affected accounts were made on time, and Im also citing 15 U.S.C. 1666b under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ), a creditor cant legally treat a payment as late if it was received by the cut-off date. Reporting any of them as late is not just inaccurate, it's a federal billing violation. Im demanding that XXXX  and TransUnion immediately delete these late payments and update my file based on verified and accurate data, like XXXX  already has. If they dont fix this, Im fully prepared to pursue legal action for willful and negligent noncompliance under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o. Ive already disputed this. Ive followed up. And Im done waiting. I need these accounts to be fixed now, or Ill take the next step.
