Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute with Transunion concerning a potentially inaccurate account listed on my credit report. I gave them sufficient time to investigate the issue, as outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). However, I did not receive any formal acknowledgment, update, or conclusion to the investigation. The account in question remains on my report without any confirmation of its validity. This lack of response and failure to verify the accuracy of the information violates my rights under the FCRA. I am requesting CFPB 's help to hold Transunion accountable and ensure that proper procedures are followed moving forward.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Consumer Name XXXX XXXX XXXX, Consumer Social Security Number XXXX, Consumer Date of Birth XX/XX/XXXX Contents of Complaint : This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the TRANSUNION 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.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Clearly this is a system, SOP, trained behavior on Best-Buys part as several associates say that this is their normal procedure. Normal corporate procedure is trained, and encouraged, and management that has been with the company has said this is always how we do it. Best Buy has damaged my credit, refuses to take ownership for their part in predatory lending with advertising 24-48 months no interest around the holidays. Citibank puts it through, and ruins people credit to get the sales done for Besy-Buy only to blame the consumer for the purchases. What exactly is this agency supposed to do???? - clearly lying and predatory lending behavior should be kept in check. It appears, however, that they are either funded, employed, given cart XXXX to close out cases - when the case is clearly not resolved from the customers perspective - nor communication between the CFPB and the consumer regarding the case. There are other avenues for consumers whom have been wronged by business schemes, lending schemes, and lying to customers to get a sale. Cameras and listening devices are everywhere. So if they think that consumers dont know that - all that information is public information and can be requested under several freedom of information acts. As a consumer I think the CFPB is not looking out for the customers best interest. Clearly this could be a simple case to resolve, However, they choose to let the bank make the decision and close out the case. What are they then actually going to help the customer. It is now XXXX and the charge was around XX/XX/year>. Each day goes by credit rating drop. However, I am sure that the sales rep at Best Buy, and the manager have gotten their bonuses based on sales. Predatory sales through their customary, trained, SOPs in urging customers to put the sales though, and they will automically raise credit. In Summary, Best -Buy encourages and trains for predatory lending by retailers with promotional credit cards on the holidays only to get the sale, and then ditch the support. The banks say it is not them. The CFPB allows banks to respond and close cases without communication with the CFPB and the consumer. What is the CFPB actually do if not to protect customers from predatory lending or gaps between retailer and credit card companies. Because this case illustrates predatory lending and the loopholes companies use against consumers this will be submitted for review with several other federal oversight agencies to include the XXXX XXXX

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a debt claim falsely attributed to me, totaling {$250.00} for XXXX medical appointments on XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year>, and XX/XX/year>. The claim was forwarded to IC System XXXX XXXX, a collection agency, which has contacted me for payment. 

Details : Repeated Denials from XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX, the company alleged to have referred this debt, has repeatedly informed me via telephone that there are no records of any outstanding balances or invoices under my name. 

Lack of Evidence : Despite my requests, neither XXXX XXXX nor IC System has provided any valid documentation or proof substantiating the debt, such as detailed statements, original invoices, notes from the doctor or medical professional for the specific appointments that were not paid for, or any type of correspondence about the alleged debt. 

Attempts to Resolve : I have made multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly with Open Loop and have requested debt validation from IC System in compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Both parties have failed to provide the necessary documentation to validate this alleged debt. XXXX only provided a letter noting dates of service not paid for, but no supporting documentation was provided. XXXX XXXX has no record of these charges. 

Concerns : The lack of documentation and contradictory information from the creditor raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of this debt claim. This situation has caused undue stress and potential harm to my financial standing. 

XXXX Requested : I request that the CFPB facilitate a thorough investigation into this matter. I seek confirmation that the debt will not be reported to credit reporting agencies until fully validated. Should the debt be found unsubstantiated, I request its formal withdrawal and cessation of all collection attempts, in compliance with FDCPA guidelines.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding identity theft that has resulted in unauthorized accounts and credit inquiries appearing on my credit report. These actions violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 609, 604, 611, and 605A.

Section 609 of the FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information in my credit report and make it available to me upon request. The fraudulent accounts that have been opened in my name are inaccurate, and the credit bureaus have not removed them after my disputes.

Section 604 of the FCRA states that credit reports may only be accessed with my consent or for certain permissible purposes. Unauthorized credit inquiries have been made by companies I do not recognize or have not authorized. 
Section 611 of the FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies investigate disputes in a timely manner ( within 30 days ) and correct any inaccuracies. Despite my attempts to dispute these fraudulent accounts and inquiries, they remain unresolved.

Section 605A of the FCRA allows consumers to place fraud alerts or credit freezes to prevent further unauthorized access to their credit reports. I have taken these actions, but the fraudulent information continues to persist.

Despite my efforts to resolve this issue, these fraudulent items remain on my credit report and continue to harm my credit score and financial stability. I am seeking assistance from the CFPB to enforce my rights under the FCRA and ensure the credit reporting agencies comply with their legal obligations to correct these inaccuracies.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Trans Union and Experian Equifax Credit Services, I am writing to you regarding a recent alert I received about a thirty-day late payment on my XXXX XXXX XXXX account. I would like to dispute this alert per my credit agreement. As stated in my agreement, my due date for payment is the XXXX and any XXXX late payments should be calculated from the XXXX or after. However, my payment was actually processed on the XXXX and was paid before the XXXX. I have attached evidence of this for your reference. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that this has happened with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I kindly request that you correct the reporting on my late payments as my accounts have always been paid before the XXXX passing date. It is important to me that my credit report accurately reflects my payment history and current status. I have attached further evidence for your review. I urge you to correct my credit report immediately to reflect that my payments have been current. I greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and your efforts to ensure the accuracy of my credit report. Thank you for your time and understanding. 
Please provide me with the below mentioned items : * The amount you claim the Respondent owes you * An explanation showing me how you have computed the amount.

* Copies of any documents that prove I agreed to pay the alleged amount * Confirmation that the account has not crossed the statute of limitation ( SOL ) period I would like to inform you that in case your agency has reported invalidated account information to any of the XXXX main credit bureaus such as TransUnion, Equifax, Experian, then it will be regarded as a fraudulent action under both federal and state statutes. Due to this reason, if any negative item is reported to any of my credit reports by your agency or the agency that you represent, then I will be compelled to take legal steps against you for the below mentioned reasons : * Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( F.C.R.A. ) * Violation of the F.D.C.P.A.

* Use of my copyrighted property * Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 1681b * Misrepresentation of facts
