Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts though your company claims to have verified these. 

Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me.

As in Cushman v TransUnion, Stevenson v. TRW ( Experian ), and Richardson v. Fleet, Equifax, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a letter regarding the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report, but it's now been over 30 days, and I haven't received any response. This lack of action is really concerning. According to Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), youre required to investigate disputed items within 30 days, and if you don't, those items must be removed from my report.

Since it's been more than 30 days, I expect my credit report to be updated immediately, reflecting the removal of the disputed accounts. If this isn't resolved quickly, Ill have no choice but to consider legal action, as this ongoing delay has caused me considerable stress. 

Additionally, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which makes me even more worried about how my personal information is being handled.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I noticed several discrepancies in the reporting of an account on my credit report across all three credit bureaus ( TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX ). the details are inconsistent between the bureaus. Specifically : The last activity date is reported differently across the bureaus : TransUnion : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX These dates should be consistent as they represent the last interaction with the account. 
The account closure descriptions vary : TransUnion : " Charged off as bad debt. Account closed due to transfer of balance. '' XXXX : " Account closed due to transfer. Amount balance reported as a loss by credit grantor. '' XXXX : " Charged off account. Account transferred or sold. '' These descriptions create confusion about the actual status of the account and whether it was transferred, sold, or resolved. 
The payment history for this account shows a " Charged Off '' status ( CO ) for multiple months, which I believe is inaccurate because the account was closed. If this account was resolved, this history unfairly reflects negatively on my credit report.

The reported balance owed is {$0.00} across all bureaus, but the status remains " Charged Off. '' If the account has been settled or resolved, this status should reflect " Paid '' or " Settled. '' The term length is reported as 31 months, but it is unclear if this reflects the original terms of the agreement or if there was a modification. 

These inconsistencies are misleading, harmful to my credit score, and do not reflect the accurate status of the account.

Complaint narrative:
I called XXXX XXXX XXXX and spoke to the Fraud Department about my consumer profile and put them on notice of the information that arose out of identity theft and let them know that the information needs to be deleted from my consumer profile and to send me an updated copy of my consumer report with the correct information...

I let them know I only have one name, one address, and one phone number ; and I also provided The correct information to them and they continue to report this inaccurate information on my consumer profile... 

I told XXXX that they're violating my consumer rights which is against the law and is up to {$1000.00} per violation plus actual damages they continued to violate me by sending frivolous correspondence in the mail which by the way is mail fraud because I believe ignorance of the law is no excuse when XXXX is not taking proper precaution to make sure that XXXX is reporting 100 % accurate information
