Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly XXXX5 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fullfill its legal obligation under the FCRA to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving incurrate or unverifiable accounts unsolved. The CFPB has recently filed a lawsuit against experian alleging issues with reporting, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to report accuracy. Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite evidence I have provided. This is creating great harm to myself. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as my formal notice of dispute concerning certain account listed on my credit report that I believe was accessed or reported without a permissible purpose as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681b.

Under the FCRA, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific, lawful purposes listed in 1681b ( a ). Any entity that accessed my credit file without my authorization or without a valid legal reason has done so in violation of this federal law.

Upon reviewing my credit reports, I found entries that I did not authorize, nor did I initiate any transaction that would justify such access. These unauthorized entries violate 1681b ( f ), which prohibits users from obtaining a consumer report without a permissible purpose. 

Legal Precedent : In the case of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX. ), the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, stating that a credit report pulled without a valid permissible purpose under FCRA constitutes a willful violation, which is actionable. 

Furthermore, multiple credit bureaus were defendants in recent lawsuits filed in XXXX  for re-reporting or permitting access to consumer reports after the accounts were removed, which is also considered a willful disregard of consumer rights.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681c2.

The listed credit reporting agency is reporting accounts, inquiries, and/or collections that do not belong to me and were added without my consent. These items resulted from the unauthorized use or distribution of my personal information and qualify under the legal definition of identity theft.

I have submitted an official FTC Identity Theft Report detailing the affected items. I am requesting the immediate block and deletion of all unauthorized or unverifiable accounts, inquiries, and collections under federal law.

The CRA has no permissible purpose or verifiable source to continue reporting these items. If they can not verify each disputed item with documented evidence, they are legally required to remove them within 4 business days under 15 USC 1681c2.

I am attaching : FTC Identity Theft Report My government-issued ID Social Security card Proof of address A list of disputed accounts/inquiries

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I filed formal disputes with the credit bureau concerning inaccurate and unverifiable account on my credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 611 ( a ) ), the bureau is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation within 30 days, consult with the original furnishers, and provide me with written verification or remove the information if it is unverifiable. Instead, the bureau appears to rely on automated systems ( such as eOSCAR ) without requesting or reviewing original source documents, in violation of its duty to maintain maximum possible accuracy under FCRA 607 ( b ) / 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). In light of the 2023 CFPB enforcement action ( CFPB & FTC v. TransUnion ), in which your agency was fined {$23.00} million for systemic reporting failures, I hereby request that my dispute be handled with due diligence and in full compliance with federal law. The CFPB concluded that superficial or automated procedures fail to meet the FCRAs reinvestigation standard. I requested detailed information about their reinvestigation process and copies of any verification or certification they obtained from the furnishers. They failed to provide this documentation and have continued reporting the disputed item without proof.

Company: Bull City Financial Solutions, Inc
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against a company named BULLCITY FINANCIAL SOL, which has reported a collection account on my credit report without my knowledge, consent, or a valid agreement. I have never entered into any contract or agreement with this company, nor have I received prior communication from them regarding this alleged debt. 

Under FCRA Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ), I have the right to request all information in my consumer file, including the sources and documentation used to verify the account. I requested validation from BULLCITY FINANCIAL SOL and the credit bureaus but have not received any documentation that includes a contract with my signature or a valid itemized statement proving this debt is mine.

According to FCRA Section 611 ( a ), if a consumer disputes the accuracy of any item, the credit reporting agency and the furnisher are obligated to conduct a reasonable investigation. No such evidence has been provided to confirm this debt is valid, verified, and accurately reported.

Under FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ), data furnishers must not report inaccurate information and are required to update or delete information that can not be verified. This account appears to be erroneous, unverifiable, and likely reported without proper validation.

Furthermore, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) Section 809 ( b ), I requested validation of the debt in writing. As of this complaint, the company has not provided any legal proof of the debt, including a signed contract or documentation of ownership. Under FDCPA Section 807 ( 8 ), it is unlawful for a debt collector to communicate information that gives a false representation of the debt, including placing unverified accounts on a credit report.

BULLCITY FINANCIAL SOL has failed to meet the legal requirements for verifying this debt, and I believe this is a violation of my consumer rights under both the FCRA and FDCPA.

I am seeking immediate investigation into this matter and appropriate corrective action.

Company: MOHELA
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Borrower Defense to Repayment against XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX was approved ( Automatic Discharge Group ) and my Federal Loans with XXXX XXXX were discharged ( all but a small balance- which I have already submitted a compliant ). 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX loans should all be discharged. 

I submitted an application for Defense to Repayment on XX/XX/XXXX, it was IMMEDIATELY denied on XX/XX/XXXX. I've attached that application and their denial letter. The loan details are also attached. This loan was taken out in XXXX, almost 20 YEARS AGO. 

How this loan has not been paid off my now, is beyond me. I am pretty certain they have been raising my interest rates with no notification. I've also attempted to 'refinance " this loan after receiving emails from them directly and ALL ATTEMPTS to refinance were denied ( for a XXXX balance ). However, 3 years ago I was approved for a $ XXXX mortgage. 

My opinion is that this lender is using practices that keep these loans from being paid off and keeping people in debt. I noticed a few weeks ago that the Private Loan application for Borrower Defense is not available. I sent them a message asking for information why my application was immediately denied and they just sent me another denial letter with no explanation. 

This servicer also has these loans listed for an Institution that I never attended : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX. I called to ask them why this is listed and they had no explanation. So, they are attempting to collect a 'debt ' for an institution I never attended. 

Your help is appreciated. 

Thanks, XXXX XXXX, XXXX
