Complaint narrative:
Federal Law Supporting Deletion The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 1681i and 1681s-2, provides grounds for the deletion of inaccurate information from your credit report. 

Section 1681i requires that if a consumer disputes the accuracy of information on their credit report, the credit reporting agencies must investigate the dispute, typically within 30 days. If the information is found to be inaccurate or can not be verified, it must be corrected or deleted. 
Section 1681s-2 holds furnishers of information, such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX responsible for ensuring that the data they report to the credit bureaus is accurate and complete. If a furnisher of information fails to report accurate data, they are in violation of the FCRA, and the information must be corrected or removed by the credit reporting agencies. 
These federal laws protect your rights as a consumer and require that inaccurate information be promptly addressed and removed from your credit report. If the information in question ( i.e., the outstanding balance ) is inaccurate, the law supports its deletion.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Around XX/XX/XXXX I noticed a problem that XXXX of my creditors had marks about the balance increase almost {$1500.00} from what the company had reported to me in the mail and online. Upon my own investigation with the creditor, they agreed as well as me that the information was sent correctly to TransUnion and Equifax but those XXXX bureaus reported incorrectly resulting in my credit being docked between XXXX pts. I called Equifax and clarified the issue to which they corrected it and my score rose within XXXX hrs, TransUnion took longer as there was a pending dispute, but once the dispute was clear they fixed the balance but my credit remains depleted by XXXX pts. I'm dissatisfied with this since they're the ones that can't do their jobs properly to the point that I have to do it for them, and I still get penalized

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the collection account that Midland Credit is reporting to the credit bureaus regarding an alleged debt from ( XXXX ). Upon recently reviewing my credit reports, I was shocked to find this account listed. I have no knowledge or record of ever holding an account with ( XXXX ), nor have I received any prior communication from your officeincluding but not limited to a phone call, text message, email, or the XXXX notice required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). This lack of notification raises serious concerns regarding the legitimacy, accuracy, and ownership of this alleged debt. This erroneous reporting has caused me significant harm, including difficulty obtaining credit and jeopardizing my pending home loan application. Under the FDCPA, I have the right to request to dispute its validity. Given that I have not received any required notice or verification as outlined under 15 U.S.C. 1692g, this collection account appears to be in violation of federal law. I am hereby requesting that you immediately remove this collection account from all consumer credit reporting agencies ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) as it is unverified and disputed.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to request immediate intervention due to serious violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) by TransUnion Consumer Solutions. Despite previous requests for correction, these violations continue to negatively impact my credit report and financial standing. 
Details of the Complaint : 1- Failure to Ensure Maximum Possible Accuracy The FCRA requires that credit bureaus and creditors ensure the accuracy of the information they report. My credit report contains inaccurate entries from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and XXXX, that remain unverified despite formal disputes, causing significant harm to my credit score and credibility. Previous attempts to address these inaccuracies have been inadequately handled, demonstrating a failure to uphold FCRA standards for accuracy. 

XXXX Inadequate Investigation and Reliance on Automated Verification Systems Under FCRA , 15 U.S.C . 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) and 1681s-2, creditors and credit bureaus must conduct thorough investigations of disputed information. However, my previous disputes have been met with automated responses through systems like e-OSCAR, which fail to meet legal requirements for a complete investigation. This approach neglects a comprehensive review of the disputed entries, perpetuating inaccurate information on my report. 

XXXX Non-Compliance with Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Requirements As outlined in TILA, creditors must issue clear and accurate billing statements and disclose essential account information to consumers. TransUnion Consumer Solutions has not adhered to TILA requirements in handling my account, resulting in erroneous charges and inaccurate reporting. This failure to comply with TILA has compounded the inaccuracies on my credit report, further violating my rights as a consumer. 
4- Violation of FDCPA Standards for Accuracy and Non-Deceptive Practices The FDCPA mandates that debt collectors and furnishers of information must report accurate, verifiable data. The accounts in question have been repeatedly reported inaccurately, with misleading information that has not been corrected despite my disputes, constituting a violation of FDCPA protections.
