Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion has reported inaccurate, unverifiable, and misleading information on my credit file in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ). Despite previous disputes, TransUnion has failed to provide proper validation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), which mandates a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information.

Under FACTA Title I, Section 151, consumer reporting agencies must ensure that all reported data is accurate, complete, and properly verified. Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 6801 of the GLBA imposes a duty to protect the accuracy and confidentiality of consumer information, which includes preventing the dissemination of incorrect data.

Additionally, the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), under 15 U.S.C. 160
1 et seq., emphasizes the importance of clear and accurate financial disclosures. Any failure to provide verifiable and accurate information not only violates consumer rights but also subjects TransUnion to regulatory penalties.

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. 

Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: ADIR INTERNATIONAL LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX and the charge account beginning XXXX from Curacao appeared on my report as being opened XX/XX/XXXX. The account reflects as reporting 30 days past due starting XX/XX/XXXX. The account then appears as being charged off with a balance of {$2200.00} in XX/XX/XXXX. I never opened this card, nor did I make the purchase ( s ). Upon researching the company, Curacao appears to be a centrally located in California, with a few stores in Nevada and Arizona. I reside in South Carolina and have never been to California Nevada, or Arizona. Nor do I know anyone living in California. I have contact the company on numerous occasions over the last few years to attempt to get this resolved. In XXXX I was promised by the company after filing a fraud claim that this would get removed from my credit report. It has still not been removed. I have called the company and gotten passed around between departments attempting to find out why this was not resolved and trying to get an address to write a XXXX XXXX dispute. I had to eventually request a supervisor just to get this address and I am still unsure they understood the request and gave me the proper address to right a formal XXXX XXXX  dispute to the company. Which according to FCRA laws, the company is required to have an address for XXXX XXXX disputes. I filed a complaint with the XXXX XXXX a few months ago, and Curacao declined the dispute and refuses to remove this fraudulent account from my report. I want this removed as soon as possible. It should not take 4-5 years to resolve this kind of issue. This company is the WORST at handling this!!!!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting a reinvestigation into multiple items appearing on my credit report, as they are either fraudulent or inaccurately reported. Several accounts listed are not mine. I did not authorize, open, or benefit from them. These items appear to be fraudulent, and I have not received any disclosures, billing statements, or signed agreements as required under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) and the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ). Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611, I request a detailed reinvestigation and disclosure of the verification process, including the identity of the furnisher. 

Additionally, an active account is being reported with a late payment status, which is factually incorrect. I have made timely payments, and this inaccurate reporting violates FCRA 623 and the DoddFrank Acts prohibition against deceptive practices. This negative reporting misrepresents my creditworthiness and causes substantial harm. 

I request a manual, factual-based reinvestigation, not an automated E-OSCAR response. Under FCRA and CFPB guidelines, furnishers and credit bureaus are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and correct or delete inaccurate information. I expect updated reporting and full compliance with the legal timeframes outlined in FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
The information youre reporting is inaccurate, harmful, and directly tied to an incident where my identity was compromised. Let me be absolutely clear : I opened the following accounts legitimately : XXXX Acct ending in XXXX, Routing : XXXX ( Opened XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX  XXXX XXXX Acct ending in XXXX, Routing : XXXX ( Opened XX/XX/XXXX ) But I did not authorize the suspicious activity that followed. That activity occurred after my phone and wallet were stolen, which contained my Social Security card and other personal details. This event left me exposed to identity theft, which directly impacted these accounts.Your report of negative information tied to these accounts is reckless. You're punishing me for being a victim of fraud and thats not just wrong, its illegal. Let me remind you of your obligations : Under the FCRA, you are required to verify and remove information that results from identity theft or can not be confirmed as accurate. 
Failing to act on a legitimate dispute especially after receiving notice of fraud is a violation of federal law, and I will not hesitate to hold you accountable. 
So here is what I expect : Immediate deletion of the negative entries tied to these XXXX accounts, a written confirmation that theyve been removed from my file Your assurance that no further reporting will be done based on fraudulent activity If I do not receive a timely response and resolution, I will move forward with the following : Notifying the Federal Trade Commission and Consulting legal counsel for civil action. This is not a casual dispute this is a demand for you to stop allowing fraudulent information to damage my financial reputation.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have repeatedly attempted to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, yet no significant action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the inaccuracies on my credit report remain unresolved. This prolonged issue has led to ongoing financial strain and has severely impacted my well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been both frustrating and mentally exhausting.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history, including the timely correction or removal of any outdated or incorrect information. I am urging you to take immediate action to either update or delete the reported late payment entries. Continued failure to act would be a direct violation of my rights under federal law.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a timely resolution.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Experian 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 Experian 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 Experian 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 Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: Zions Debt Holdings
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir or Madam, I believe I am the victim of unlawful credit reporting and fraudulent re-aging of debt. 
As a result, my credit has been harmed. 
A derogatory collection was filed against me XX/XX/XXXX by Zions Debt holdings ( according to my credit report opened XX/XX/XXXX ) for {$550.00}. 
I first became aware of the derogatory collection filing through routine monitoring of my XXXX score and credit report ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 
I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX times Saturday XX/XX/XXXX there was no answer and I did not leave a message. 
A caller by the name of XXXX XXXX returned my call that morning XXXX am ( she called my number despite me not leaving a message ). 
She informed me that the debt was from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) dating to XXXX and asserted that a debt validation notice had been previously sent to me at my previous home address and to my email, of which she verified was correct. 
I moved from that previous address in XXXX. 
I have never received an email from Zions Debt Holdings. 
In addition, I have never been contacted in any form by XXXX XXXX XXXX nor has XXXX filed a derogatory claim to a credit reporting agency regarding this debt. 
XXXX XXXX stated she would provide me a validation report during our conversation, once again after verifying my correct home address, email and phone number. 
I have yet to receive a validation statement in any form.

Federal and State law require that credit reports remain accurate, complete and verifiable. 
The above actions are in violation of Federal and XXXX  law. 
Federal law prohibits a debt collector from reporting a derogatory debt to a credit reporting agency before either speaking to the consumer or sending a debt validation notice and ensuring delivery. 
I was never contacted by XXXX XXXX XXXX either through mail, email or by phone, nor has there been a good faith effort to contact me. 
In the XXXX of Ohio, debt collectors are required to provide validation information within XXXX days of their initial contact. 
Further, I have never received a debt validation notice from this company. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
