Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute several inquiries listed on my credit report that I did not authorize. Upon reviewing my credit file, I noticed multiple inquiries from companies with whom I have never applied for credit or given permission to access my report. 
I have submitted dispute requests and provided documentation to support my claim, but the inquiries remain on my file without resolution. These unauthorized inquiries negatively impact my credit score and raise concerns about potential identity misuse or reporting errors. Despite my follow-ups, the issue has not been appropriately addressed. 
As a consumer, I have the right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe to be inaccurate or fraudulent. I am requesting that a full investigation be conducted to determine the origin and legitimacy of these inquiries.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency is willfully and negligently violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by continuing to report fraudulent accounts and unauthorized inquiries that resulted from a data breach. Despite my submission of a formal dispute under Section 605B [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ] with a sworn affidavit and proof of identity, the agency has failed to block or delete the disputed items within the required four business days. Additionally, the agency has not provided any verifiable proof bearing my signature or electronic signature, as required under Section 604 [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ], to justify the permissible purpose of these inquiries. These actions violate my consumer rights under federal law.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the three major credit bureausExperian, Equifax, and XXXXfor ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with Metro 2 Format and CDIA industry standards.

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court.

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information Metro 2 and CDIA Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency may not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself. '' Cushman v. Trans Union Corp., 115 F.3d 220 ( 3rd Cir. 1997 ) These harms are measurable, preventable, and attributable to willful negligence and disregard of consumer protection law.

Complaint narrative:
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Bank of America XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Re : SECOND WRITTEN REQUEST Verification or Deletion of Unverified Accounts To Whom It May Concern, Please be advised this is my SECOND WRITTEN REQUEST. The unverified items listed below remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct.

In the results of your first investigation, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly. Who verified these accounts?

You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

The law is very clear as to the civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent noncompliance ( Section 617 ) if you fail to comply. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. 

I demand the following accounts be verified or deleted immediately : BANK OF AMERICA, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Type : Secured Credit Card Balance : {$120.00} Date Closed : XX/XX/XXXX Status : Charge-Off Thank you for your time and help in this matter.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was previously an Authorized User on XXXX XXXX accounts. XXXX XXXX confirmed in writing that these XXXX accounts were deleted and no longer report to the credit bureaus. I attached XXXX official deletion letters as proof. 

Despite this, Equifax continues to report the deleted accounts. On XX/XX/2025, I submitted the XXXX deletion letters through Equifaxs dispute portal under confirmation # XXXX. I also called Equifax to escalate with the official letters, but they refused to process a manual update and insisted I redispute the same information. 

XXXX properly removed these XXXX XXXX accounts based on the same deletion instructions from XXXX. Equifax is the only bureau refusing to correct them. 

Equifaxs actions violate FCRA 1681e ( b ) ( requirement of maximum possible accuracy ) and mishandling furnisher documentation violates 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ). I request Equifax immediately remove these XXXX XXXX accounts and provide written confirmation.
