Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
* I am writing to dispute a fraudulent account that appears on my credit report. The account details are as follows : - **Account Name : ** XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Also known as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) - **Account Number : ** XXXX - **Date Opened : ** XX/XX/2024 - **Balance : ** {$190.00} This account was not authorized by me and was opened as a result of identity theft. I have never had any dealings with this company and did not consent to this account being opened in my name. This fraudulent account has severely impacted my creditworthiness and has caused undue stress and hardship. This account was previously removed from my credit report but has inexplicably reappeared. I am requesting its immediate removal once again and that it be permanently blocked from reappearing on my credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I am entitled to have fraudulent information resulting from identity theft removed from my credit report. Additionally, Californias Identity Theft Protection Act ( Cal. Civ. Code 1798.93 ) reinforces my right to dispute and demand the removal of fraudulent accounts. This repeated reappearance of the account violates my consumer rights under both federal and state law. I demand that this account be removed and blocked from my credit report permanently and that I receive confirmation of this action in writing. Failure to comply with this request will leave me with no choice but to pursue further action, including legal remedies under the FCRA and California state law.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I spoke with someone on XXXX XXXX about purchasing a new camera for the price of {$670.00}. I asked for video of the camera working which they sent me, as well as a photo of the camera with the date written on a piece of paper sitting next to it which they also sent. We discussed forms of payment and settled on XXXX, since at this point, I was very certain that this person had the camera. They sent me photos of them packing up the box, and a photo of the outside of the post office which states no cell phones are allowed inside. They assured me that the package had been shipped and sent me a screenshot of the tracking screen with the last XXXX digits crossed out. They explained to me, that their mom doesnt want them to share the full tracking number until payment has been sent. I then sent {$670.00} through XXXX with my Wells Fargo checking account. 

I reached out to Wells Fargo after realizing I had been scammed, and they put in a fraud form for me but I havent heard back at all and its been several days. The XXXX I sent money to was XXXX XXXX but theyve also have a XXXX by the name of XXXX XXXX. I went back on XXXX XXXX and their XXXX account has since been deleted. I found another listing similar to the one I fell victim to, and low and behold, someone wrote a review saying it was a scam and listing out exactly the same thing that happened to me.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
For several years now a few times a year I get a Notice of Adverse Action via email from XXXX XXXX to a very old email address I do not actively use ( XXXX ) It always has extremely out of date information listed for me. 
Every single time it happens I contact them via the email address they provide in their email and they skirt the blame and say my info was used on a third party site and no loan was given. They refuse to provide me any information about the application like the XXXX address, the device use, or even the name of the third party lead generation company yet they claim they want to help me. 
They also promise they will block my info and never contact me again, yet like clock work a few months later I get another Notice of Adverse Action and have to spend my time dealing with their continued fraud. 
To be clear I have NEVER applied for any loan like this, in fact through my consulting firm I advise leading companies like XXXX XXXX and in fact their investors have probably used my service in the past. I have also never used any lead generation credit company for any kind of credit application and in fact I have not applied for any form of credit in well over 5 years. 
Their harassing of me needs to stop. I find it amusing that they claim they can not block my information. If they can not perform that basic task then there is no way they comply with dozens of federal and state regulations. Simply through XXXX  they owe me well over $ XXXX and I will be pursuing a complaint regarding that with the FTC. 
It is time they are punished for their violations. XXXX seems to be an easy one. If they contact me and send me a check for {$5000.00} I will not engage an attorney and seek a XXXX figure settlement.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: FIRSTBANK PUERTO RICO
State: PR

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding the inaccuracies in the payment history reported by XXXX on my credit report. I have repeatedly requested XXXX to provide detailed records of my payment history, including evidence that the payments were made on the dates they reported. Despite my requests, XXXX has not provided adequate documentation to support their claims. 

It is my firm belief that XXXX has reported payments on incorrect dates, resulting in negative marks on my credit report. These inaccuracies are severely impacting my credit score, and I strongly contest the validity of the information they have provided to the credit bureaus. 

I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and assist in correcting my payment history to reflect the actual dates on which payments were made. The removal of these incorrect late payment marks is crucial to restoring the accuracy of my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
