Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

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.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute multiple unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, which I believe to be fraudulent and potentially linked to identity theft. Upon reviewing my report, I identified several inquiries from companies with which I have had no interaction. I have not applied for new credit, nor have I provided consent for these checks. Despite previously disputing these inquiries, they remain on my credit report, which is unacceptable. Their continued presence raises serious concerns about the security of my personal information, the potential misuse of my identity, and has caused me significant anxiety and stress.

Complaint narrative:
No provisional credit while Bank of America investigates debit card dispute I paid {$5000.00} with my Bank of America debit card to a vendor who never delivered the services. Bank of America is investigating the dispute under Visa/Mastercard rules , but they refused to issue provisional credit during the investigation. 

As a result, I am out {$5000.00} while waiting for a potentially lengthy resolution, with no temporary protection on my account. I believe provisional credit should be extended so customers are not financially exposed during disputes of this size.

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion has repeatedly violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by reporting inaccurate accounts and unauthorized inquiry on my credit report, despite multiple complaints and disputes. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ), furnishers must ensure accuracy, yet errors persist. Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) requires a reasonable investigation of disputes, which TransUnion has failed to conduct. Their continued noncompliance has caused financial harm, and I request immediate corrective action.

am writing to urgently report a very serious incident in which I was scammed out of over {$13000.00} by an individual or group, and then received violent threats against my life and the lives of my family members. 

After I sent the money, the individual ( s ) refused to provide what was promised. When I questioned them or tried to seek help, they responded by threatening to kill me and harm my family. I take these threats extremely seriously and fear for our safety. 

Please treat this matter with urgency. I am requesting immediate investigation and any assistance you can provide in identifying, blocking, or reporting the responsible party to proper authorities. And recovering all of my funds and getting my money back. This flows along with my previous claim.

Company: CCF Intermediate Holdings LLC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I went in to inquire and set up a title loan with TitleMax at the branch off of XXXX XXXX in XXXX. I was rushed through the contract with no explanation of what a CSO was or the boundless limits on CAP fees. The loan is currently set at 291 % APR. My car was reposessed on XX/XX/year>, and held until XX/XX/year>. Upon arrival, I was forced to pay a {$200.00} rekeying fee and the new key fob does not even work. Furthermore, immediately after paying {$1600.00} to retrieve my vehicle which was still being withheld from me, I was forced under duress to sign a new contract with no TitleMax representative available to me to answer any questions I had regarding the new contract. Its also imperative that I mention only the signing pages of the contract were presented to me at the time of renewal. Finally, just before retrieval of my vehicle, the repo center operating under TitleMax attempted to coerce me into signing a disclaimer form regarding my items in the car BEFORE they were even returned to my possession. I have strong belief this violates UETA, 393.201 of the Texas Finance Code, and FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692f.

The reported late payments and charge-off accounts are inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable. The furnishers have failed to provide original, documented proof that these alleged delinquencies occurred.

Complaint narrative:
In reference to this now closed case XXXX I request once again to have XXXX delete their latest entry from off my credit reports. This company by their on response indicated that the money was no longer owed to them, yet they decided through some executive not to honor my initial request. This is nothing more than blatant Harrassment and it's illegal!!!. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681 and 1681-b2 no person, entity, creditor is allowed to enter anything on my personal credit report without my WRITTEN consent! I did not, have not and will not authorize this agency to illegally enter Charge Off after a Federal Court Judge decided that their initial contract was null and void the payment since XX/XX/XXXX were as the Federal court prescribed under my now discharged XXXX XXXX. Therefore, entry 's unto my credit report are ILLEGAL seeing that ALLY seeks to usurp the authority of Federal Courts mandate which they are legally bound to adhere to! Moreover, FCA 31 U.S.C 3729 prohibits these actions from taking place on my credit reports forward.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I'm writing to dispute inaccurate late payment notations being reported on my credit file for an account that, to my knowledge and records, has been paid as agreed and never late. 

I want to be very clear here : I am requesting validation of these reported late payments, because as someone who monitors their credit closely and makes every effort to pay on time, this came as a complete surprise. If youre going to report something as serious and damaging as a late payment, it better be backed by clear, verifiable, and accurate documentation not vague data or automated reporting errors. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are required to report information that is 100 % accurate, complete, and not misleading. Reporting a consumer as late when they have not been late is defamatory, unfairly lowers credit scores, and can create real harm from higher interest rates to declined applications. I am not going to tolerate that on my record, especially when its inaccurate.
