Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report related to identity theft. I submitted my initial dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, along with a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report and additional documentation supporting my claim. However, your agency has failed to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Violations of the FCRA 1.Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute. Despite providing a comprehensive FTC Identity Theft Report and detailed supporting evidence, I have not received confirmation of any substantive investigation into the disputed items.

2.Failure to Notify Me of Investigation Results ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ) The FCRA mandates that consumers be notified of the results of an investigation within 30 days of submitting a dispute. To date, I have not received any such notification, nor have I been informed of the outcome of your review or the process by which my dispute was evaluated.

3.Failure to Block Inaccurate Information Promptly ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to block information resulting from identity theft upon receipt of appropriate documentation, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report. This has not occurred in my case.

Precedent Cases Supporting My Position Your failure to comply with FCRA requirements is not only a violation of my rights but also exposes your agency to liability, as demonstrated in precedent cases : XXXX XXXX TransUnion XXXX ( XXXX ) : This case emphasized that credit reporting agencies have a duty to conduct reasonable investigations beyond relying on the data provided by furnishers. 
XXXX v. TransUnion LLC ( XXXX ) : The Supreme Court upheld consumer rights in disputes related to credit reporting inaccuracies, reinforcing the accountability of credit bureaus under the FCRA. 


Requested Resolution To resolve this matter, I demand the following actions : 1.Conduct a reasonable and thorough reinvestigation of the disputed accounts and transactions associated with my identity theft.

2.Provide a detailed written summary of your investigation, including the steps taken and evidence reviewed.

3.Immediately block or remove all inaccurate information resulting from the identity theft.

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint by filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and potentially pursuing legal remedies.

XXXX de XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear, XXXX I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report that I believe is harming my financial well-being I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Report Act and request a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies, as required by federal law. 
Recently the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit against XXXX for its failure to properly investigate consumer disputes, citing 'sham investigations ' and other unlawful practices. These practices. as outlined by the CFPB, include ; Conducting inadequate investigations that fail to address consumer disputes properly. Reinserting previously disputed and inaccurate information without explanation. Failing to notify consumers about investigation results effectively. 

These allegations highlight systemic issues that directly undermine consumer protections and perpetuate the inclusion of inaccurate information on credit reported. I am deeply concerned that my dispute may be mishandled in a similar manner. 
Please review the inaccurate information being report :

Complaint narrative:
I have a credit card with XXXX XXXX that is administered by Citibank. My computer crashed that housed my password for my account. I tried resetting the password multiple times on the web page https : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and every time it denies me the right to do so and tells me that for security reasons, I must call them at XXXX -- XXXX. I called and spoke with XXXX who muted me while she talked to someone else and when she returned she barely listened to anything I said. She ultimately told me that my phone number was not on my account and the call was discontinued. I called again and spoke with someone that sounded very muffled and I think he said his name was XXXX. Again, this rep barely listened to anything that I said. Told me to go to the web site and reset it there. I told him that I had already tried that multiple times and it told me to contact them. He was not sure what to do then so he had me try it again while I was on the phone with him, so I did and it errored again. So, he had me close the browser and try again. I did so and it denied me access to changing my password again with the same message. Then he had me clear my browsing history. I did so and tried it again and it did not work again. He did not believe that I did as he instructed me- which infuriated me because at that point I had been going back and forth with him for more than XXXX minutes only to be told that I am not doing as he advised. I just want access to my account so that I can manage it. Why is that so hard?

Complaint narrative:
Dear Experian Dispute Department, I am writing to formally request the removal of a hard inquiry from my credit report that I have no knowledge of. I recently reviewed my credit report and discovered an unauthorized hard inquiry conducted by XXXX on XX/XX/year>, XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>, XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), hard inquiries require my explicit consent. I do not recall authorizing this inquiry, and as such, I believe it is erroneous or fraudulent. I kindly ask you to provide documented proof that I gave authorization for this inquiry. If no such proof exists, I request the immediate removal of this unauthorized hard inquiry from my credit file. 
Additionally, as part of the recent lawsuit settlement against Experian regarding inaccurate credit reporting, I understand that the credit bureau is obligated to ensure accuracy and fairness in reporting. Given this legal precedent, I urge you to take immediate corrective action. 
Enclosed, I have included a copy of my credit report highlighting the unauthorized inquiry, as well as copies of my identification for verification purposes. Please investigate this matter and provide a written response within 30 days, as required by law. If the inquiry is not removed, I request a detailed explanation along with documentation proving that I authorized it. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your resolution and confirmation of the removal of this inquiry.
