Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be no confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Equifax XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Second Notice Failure to Respond and Demand for Deletion Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( FCRA ) To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as a second and final notice regarding my previous written request, dated XX/XX/year>, demanding the blocking and deletion of fraudulent and unauthorized accounts from my credit file pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

To date, I have not received any acknowledgment, investigation results, or confirmation of deletion from Equifax within the legally required timeframe. This lack of response constitutes noncompliance with federal law and further damages my consumer rights under the FCRA. 

As previously stated, my personal data was compromised in the XXXX  data breach, resulting in the fraudulent and inaccurate reporting of accounts and inquiries on my credit file. You are again being instructed to immediately block and permanently delete the following items : You are hereby demanded to comply immediately by : 1. Deleting and blocking all listed accounts, inquiries, and negative information.

2. Notifying all furnishers of this deletion as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( b ).

3. Providing me with written confirmation of full deletion within five ( 5 ) business days of receipt of this letter.

Enclosed again are copies of my government-issued ID and FTC Identity Theft Report for verification. 

If I do not receive written confirmation of compliance within the timeframe stated, I will proceed with formal complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and may pursue legal remedies for your failure to uphold your obligations under federal law.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

I then opened a scam report. This was also denied because there was nothing they could see that was wrong with the transaction, despite explaining why the transaction was a scam and/or fraud. 

Cashapp did not take the necesary steps to protect its users from scams taking place involving extortion and failed delivery of goods.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am reporting multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) committed by the credit reporting agency. Despite my proper submission of an identity theft report and request for blocking of fraudulent information under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), the agency failed to remove and block fraudulent accounts from my consumer report within the required four-day timeframe. 

The agency has continued to report inaccurate, inconsistent, and fraudulent information, causing ongoing harm to my creditworthiness and financial reputation. I provided documentation supporting my identity theft claim, yet the accounts remain. Additionally, I requested documentation proving I was ever late on certain accounts no such proof was provided, yet the derogatory remarks persist. 

This failure to act constitutes willful non-compliance and negligent reinvestigation under : 15 U.S.C. 1681n Willful non-compliance with the FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681o Negligence in reinvestigating disputed information 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 Failure of furnishers to report accurate data Furthermore, several accounts are reporting inconsistently across credit bureaus, in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681e, which requires maximum possible accuracy in consumer reporting. Despite multiple notices, the agency has ignored these issues, demonstrating reckless disregard for federal law and for my consumer rights. 

The fraudulent and inaccurately reported accounts include, but are not limited to : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX This ongoing inaction is causing emotional distress, loss of credit opportunities, and clear violations of my federally protected consumer rights.

I am writing to dispute fraudulent information that appears on my credit report pursuant to XXXX XXXX. XXXX, and to formally request that this information be blocked or removed. I am including a copy of my identity theft report issued by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) XXXX as supporting evidence for my claim.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block or delete any information identified by the consumer as resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days. 
The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX As outlined in 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I am formally requesting that this fraudulent information be blocked or removed immediately from my credit report. This information should remain blocked for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no fraudulent data should continue to appear in my file. 
I have contacted the credit bureau reporting these fraudulent accounts multiple times, and they have failed to provide me with an effective resolution. This situation is severely affecting me and feels like a never-ending cycle. I do not understand how these accounts can still be reported as mine when I have already proven otherwise. 
Please help me by removing these accounts immediately. I am including my FTC report again, hoping that you will make a better and fairer decision in my case. Thank you for your attention.
