Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I initially made a dispute, but then I realized that the payment was accurate. However, I did want to explain the circumstances surrounding the late payment. I have a chronic XXXX and have to take a medication daily to treat it. Starting in the summer of this year, the medication went on a nationwide shortage that can be tracked according to the FDA. Without my medication to treat my XXXX, I was unable to keep track of my expenses diligently. I spent much of my time communicating with providers, pharmacies, and insurance. I would like to ask for removal of this late payment due to extenuating medical circumstances that prevented me from making payment on time. Aside from that late payment, I am completely current across all payments and accounts.

It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute inaccurate and misleading information on my TransUnion credit report as provided under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 611 and 623, which require consumer reporting agencies to ensure the accuracy and verifiability of the information they provide. 

The specific item I am disputing is : [ Account Name/Number or Public Record Information ] : [ Describe the error, e.g., This bankruptcy filing is inaccurately reported or unverifiable. ] Upon investigation, I have confirmed that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a consumer data aggregator, does not report bankruptcy filings directly to any credit bureaus. This fact is widely established and demonstrates that any public record information purportedly originating from XXXX must be independently verified by TransUnion for compliance with FCRA requirements. 

Your reliance on XXXX or any similar data aggregator as the sole source of bankruptcy information is insufficient under FCRA Section 607 ( b ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies maintain " maximum possible accuracy '' in the data they report. It is your legal responsibility to verify the accuracy of this information directly with the original public record source ( e.g., the court where the bankruptcy was filed ) before including it in my credit file.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against PORTFOLIO RECOVERY regarding an issue with an account that has been reported on my credit report. I believe this report to be erroneous, and despite my efforts to resolve the matter directly with the company, no action has been taken to address the situation. 
Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed an account reported under PORTFOLIO RECOVERY with the account number XXXX I am not aware of ever opening an account with this company and have no recollection of any transactions or communications with them. 

I contacted PORTFOLIO RECOVERY on XX/XX/year> and provided them with the account number listed on my credit report to seek clarification and request the deletion of this erroneous entry. 

The company informed me that the account number I provided does not exist in their system. Despite this, they refused to take further action to delete the entry from my credit report. 
This inaccurate information on my credit report has negatively affected my credit score and financial standing. The lack of resolution from PORTFOLIO RECOVERY has caused undue stress and frustration.

Complaint narrative:
" 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "
