Consumer complaint received 2023-02-06 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
According to 15 USC 1681 i ( 5 ) I requested an investigation by the credit bureaus to make sure everything was accurate. 

After 30 days I received, but did not accept the investigation results and noticed everything was the same. The consumer reporting agencies which is TransUnion did not remove anything. 

The date reported is not correct, date opened is not correct, date closed is not correct, and date of last payment is not correct on both credit reports. 

Which is a violation. This is impacting me from moving forward to buy a house for my family. 

I've attached a letter from XXXX stating the account was paid in XX/XX/2021, as notice was sent to my daughter XX/XX/2021. These errors are being reported by TransUnion about me. 

In addition, I've attached my previous credit report showing how TransUnion has violated my rights.
