Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

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.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against XXXX and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where XXXX and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as XXXX and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal dispute and legal demand concerning multiple inaccurate personal identifiersincluding names and addressesthat are currently being reported across my credit files. 
I hereby affirm that I have never used, authorized, or been associated with the listed aliases, and I have never resided at the reported addresses appearing on my consumer reports. These entries are false, misleading, and unverifiable, and they have no lawful connection to me or my financial history. 
The continued reporting of these incorrect names and addresses constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which mandates that consumer reporting agencies follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy in the information they furnish. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), you are legally required to conduct a prompt and thorough reinvestigation of disputed information upon receiving notice of inaccuracy. 
The presence of this false personal information creates a heightened risk of identity confusion and potential fraud, directly harming my ability to obtain credit, employment, or housing under fair and accurate conditions. These errors may also indicate negligent data handling in light of ongoing national identity theft and data breach concerns.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have repeatedly disputed inaccurate information on my Experian credit report regarding two closed, charged-off accounts XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Both were charged off in XXXX, yet Experian continues to report new past due balances and late payments through XXXX and XXXX. 

Once an account is charged off, no new delinquencies or past-due amounts can legally accrue. Reporting new past-due balances after the charge-off date is considered re-aging and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 607 ( b ) and 611 ). 

I have sent dispute letters and a Method of Verification request, but Experian has verified the accounts without providing documentation of how or by whom they were verified.
