Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of all incorrect names and addresses associated with my credit file across all credit bureaus, as well as to request that only the following information be retained : Correct Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ), consumer reporting agencies are required to ensure that all information in a consumers file is accurate and up-to-date. Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681i outlines the obligation of credit reporting agencies to investigate disputes and remove inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information.

The inclusion of multiple incorrect names and addresses in my credit file is a violation of these provisions and creates confusion that could adversely affect my credit profile. This also infringes on my rights to accuracy and fairness under the FCRA. 

I have identified the following inaccuracies that need to be immediately removed from my credit file : 1. All incorrect or alternate names other than XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
2. All incorrect or alternate addresses other than XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX. 

Please consider this letter a formal dispute under the FCRA. I request that all credit bureaus be directed to promptly correct my records and to provide written confirmation of the changes. I also request that all other names and addresses be permanently removed from my file to prevent further inaccuracies. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

The items listed below are reported on my personal credit file and were found in my reports with 3 credit reporting agencies. These items were opened fraudulently. Ive informed all parties of the issue & provided the necessary documentation to support my claim. The credit reporting agency ( CRA ) & data furnisher ( DF ) are not complying with federal law in regard to identity theft. Additionally, the credit reporting agency & data furnisher have not provided me with any evidence of an open contract, signed contract, or any valid proof this was opened, authorized, or created by me. Since this is a strict violation of FCRA laws I need the items removed from my file.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a vehicle in XX/XX/year> with an agreement to pay the down payment within one month. Due to an unexpected doubling of my mortgage that month, I contacted the company to request an extension. They granted me until XX/XX/XXXX to complete the payment, with a schedule to pay {$100.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, with the remaining balance due by XX/XX/XXXX. Despite adhering to this arrangement, they added a late fee on XX/XX/XXXX. When I called, the representative assured me the late fee would be removed once I paid the {$1700.00}. However, the late charge remains on my credit report, and the payments I made are not reflected. I disputed this with XXXX, but my dispute was denied, leaving the incorrect information unresolved.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax Missing Credit File Information Today, I attempted to file an online dispute with Equifax regarding a cyber scam incident negatively impacting my credit. However, when I logged into my Equifax account, all my banking and credit card information was missing. Since I could not complete the dispute online, I contacted Equifax via telephone to complete the dispute, but they could not retrieve my information. I spoke to an agent at an Equifax call center in XXXX, and they were insulting and unprofessional. The call ended without a resolution. 

XXXX and XXXX Cyber Scam I am writing to bring to your attention a distressing situation in which I was the victim of a cyber scam, often referred to as a " Pay-It-Forward '' scam, that has resulted in significant financial and emotional distress for me. XXXX and XXXX view them as legitimate transactions when they are not. I filed a police report and reports with the Colorado AG 's Office, the FTC, and the FBI 's IC3 unit. 

On XX/XX/year>, an individual posing as a Good Samaritan approached me online and offered to assist me with my credit card charges in exchange for my participation in a " pay it forward '' act of kindness. Believing in their goodwill, I agreed and subsequently transferred funds to a supposed needy individual, only to later realize that it was a fraudulent scheme. 

Despite my good faith efforts to resolve the situation and dispute the charges with XXXX and XXXX, both institutions have refused to acknowledge the fraudulent nature of the transactions and have insisted that the charges are legitimate. As a result, my XXXX card now shows a negative balance of {$2400.00}. 

Moreover, when the scammer realized that their deceit was uncovered, they escalated the situation by threatening me with physical harm, which exacerbated my sense of vulnerability and fear. 

I am seeking your intervention in this matter to help rectify the situation. The details of the scam are as follows : Date of Incident : XX/XX/year> Amount Lost : {$1800.00} ( Current negative balance - {$2400.00} ) Methods Used : Online communication via XXXX Threats Received : Threats of physical harm upon the scammer 's discovery I urge the CFPB to take this matter seriously, assist in holding the responsible parties accountable, provide guidance on how I may recover my losses, and ensure that these charges are not deemed legitimate.
