Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern. This letter serves as a formal request for the immediate deletion of fraudulent information appearing on my credit report, in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Despite multiple disputes and the evidence I have previously submitted, this account continues to be reported, which constitutes a violation of federal law. 
Enclosed you will find a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the Federal Trade Commission, FTC Report Number : XXXX. 
As required under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, once an identity theft report is provided, a credit reporting agency must block the disputed information within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. You have failed to meet this obligation. 
The account that must be immediately removed is : XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX This account does not belong to me and is the direct result of identity theft. Other credit bureaus have already deleted it after being unable to verify its legitimacy. The furnisher has failed to produce any signed agreement or verifiable documentation for over XXXX  days, confirming that this account can not be validated. 
However, EQUIFAX continues to report it, knowingly allowing inaccurate and harmful information to remain on my file. 
Your failure to remove this fraudulent account has caused ongoing financial and personal harm, including credit denials and the inability to move forward with essential financial goals such as home ownership. 
This situation is both unacceptable and unlawful. 
I am demanding that you immediately block and delete this fraudulent account from my credit report. 
If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will proceed with filing additional complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and the Office of the Attorney General for your continued noncompliance with federal law.

Company: Yamaha Motor Finance Corporation USA
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
The Yamaha Motor Finance ( XXXX XXXX ) account appearing on my XXXX  credit report was opened without my knowledge, consent, or authorization. My husband opened this account and used my personal information without my permission. I did not sign any credit application, contract, or authorization form. I am not a joint borrower and never agreed to be one.

Because I never opened or authorized this account, the information being reported about me is inaccurate and does not belong to me.

There are clear inconsistencies across the credit bureaus that demonstrate the account is not valid : XXXX  completed an investigation and deleted this account entirely because it could not be verified.

XXXX  has never reported this account on my credit file. 
Only XXXX  continues to show this account, despite it being disputed multiple times. 

I disputed this account with XXXX  several times, including in writing, and provided evidence that I did not authorize or sign for this account. Despite this, XXXX  still shows the account, which suggests that Yamaha Motor Finance is either incorrectly verifying the information or not conducting a proper verification.

This account is harming my credit and falsely represents me as responsible for a debt that I did not create.

I am attaching supporting documents, including dispute letters, screenshots showing bureau inconsistencies, and proof that XXXX  deleted the account.

I am requesting CFPB assistance because Yamaha Motor Finance continues to verify an account I never opened.
