Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address a serious matter regarding inaccuracies in my credit report that have arisen due to identity theft. Despite my previous attempts to rectify this situation, it has come to my attention that the erroneous items have not been removed as required by law. Under section 605b of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is mandated that any items found to be opened due to identity theft must be promptly removed from my credit report upon receipt of an FTC fraud report. As such, I have submitted the necessary documentation to support my claim, yet the fraudulent items listed below remain on my credit report : These items were opened without my consent or knowledge, and I am adamant that they be removed from my credit report immediately. In accordance with the FCRA, I am giving you formal notice that if these items are not removed within the next four business days, I will be left with no choice but to pursue legal action. My intention is to resolve this matter amicably and without the need for litigation. However, I will not hesitate to involve my attorney if necessary to ensure compliance with the law. Furthermore, if you claim that these items are 100 % accurate and verifiable, I demand that you provide me with copies of any documentation associated with these items that bear my signature. As I know no such documentation exists, I expect that this information will be promptly deleted from the credit file associated with my Social Security number. I urge you to take immediate action to address this issue and prevent further harm to my credit and financial well-being. With this, I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraud items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, AR XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, AR XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$1500.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$1500.00} XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/2023 XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I'm writing to discuss a problem I found on my credit report. It says I was late with two payments on an account XXXX and XXXX, but that's not true. I always paid on time. 
According to the law, when a consumer reporting agency makes a report about someone, they have to make sure the information is accurate. This means they need to check everything and show proof of verification. 
I've attached a copy of my credit report so you can see the mistake. Can you please check it and find proof that I was late? If you can't, I need you to fix the mistake and say I paid on time. 
This mix-up is causing me a lot of stress, especially since I'm a single dad with XXXX kids to take care of. I really need this fixed quickly to make things easier for us. 
Thanks for your help.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing issue regarding late open account on my credit report and express my frustration with the multiple unsuccessful attempts to have them corrected. Despite numerous efforts on my part, the inaccuracies persist, causing significant distress and damage to my financial standing. 

Since discovering the late open account on my credit report, I have diligently followed the prescribed procedures outlined by your agency to rectify this issue. I have submitted formal disputes, provided supporting documentation, and cooperated fully with your investigation process. However, despite my persistent efforts, the inaccuracies remain unresolved. 

The presence of these inaccuracies not only undermines the accuracy and integrity of my credit report but also poses a serious threat to my financial stability. As a responsible consumer, I find it unacceptable to be unfairly penalized for inaccuracies that do not accurately reflect my credit behavior. 

Furthermore, the lack of progress and communication regarding the status of my disputes has further exacerbated my frustration and eroded my trust in your agency. I have not received any updates or explanations regarding the reasons for the repeated failure to correct this inaccuracy, leaving me feeling disregarded and powerless in protecting my financial interests. 

I demand immediate and effective action to thoroughly investigate and rectify these situations by expediting the correction of the late open account from my credit report. Additionally, I request transparent communication and regular updates regarding the steps being taken to address these matters. With this, I am asking for your assistance to correct this account in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$2000.00}.
