Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Re : Final Demand for Removal of Child Support Reporting on Credit Report To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as my final demand for the immediate removal of the child support reporting on my credit profile from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. I have previously requested that this erroneous report be deleted, yet no satisfactory resolution has been provided. I hereby reiterate that I never authorized the child support agency to report information to your respective credit bureaus regarding this matter. Furthermore, there is no evidence to support that I gave any consent or agreement to allow such reporting. The reporting of this child support debt is
unwarranted, and its continued presence on my credit profile is harmful to my creditworthiness. I consider this to be an unlawful action that has caused, and continues to cause, tangible harm to my financial standing and reputation. Please note that 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( I ) ( 7 ) mandates that when a consumer disputes the accuracy or completeness of information on their credit report, the credit reporting agencies must investigate the dispute within reasonable time and provide a description of their reinvestigation procedure within 15 days of the consumer 's request. Your failure to act in accordance with these statutory obligations constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

I request the following immediate actions be taken : 1 Immediate removal of the child support reporting from my credit profile with all three credit bureaus.

2 Compliance with 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( I ) ( 7 ), including providing a detailed description of the reinvestigation procedures.

3 Compensation in the amount of {$3000.00} from each credit bureau for the violations under the FCRA, including failure to delete the disputed report upon my request and failure to comply with the legal reinvestigation procedure.

Please be aware that this letter is my final attempt to resolve this matter before I seek formal legal action, including filing complaints with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and potentially pursuing a claim for damages resulting from these violations.

I expect a written response from all three credit reporting agencies within 15 days of receipt of this letter, providing evidence of the requested removal and an explanation of your investigation process. Failure to comply will leave me no choice but to escalate this matter legally. Send all pdf files to the CFPB complaint portal and send check for monetary damages to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX PAYABLE TO THE ORDER OF : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am not sure why CITI bank has robo calls asking me for making me pay my credit card ending in XXXX, but this is the only credit card I get these calls for. Every month most of my credit cards go past the credit limit, but I have NEVER missed a payment. I always make my payments each month and have never had any late payments in my life. I have asked them before to stop calling me about asking to make a payment. I always make a payment. But they do not comply. I do not give them authorization to call me and ask me to make a payment. My payment is not due until the XXXX of every month so I don't understand why I am getting calls for CITIBANK.
