Consumer complaint received 2024-09-19 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute inaccurate information that appears on my credit report. I am exercising my right to dispute this information under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). 
The following item on my credit report is incorrect and I request that you investigate and remove it : Creditor Name : [ XXXX XXXX Bank ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Reported Late Payment Date : [ XX/XX/year> ] This late payment report is inaccurate because the payment in question was never actually late. The issue arose due to a dispute regarding an escrow account payment, which was charged unfairly for a reported lapse in our insurance policy. We were actively disputing this charge at the time, as we had continuous insurance coverage and believe the reported lapse was an error. 
During this dispute process, we continued to make our regular mortgage payments on time. Unfortunately, it seems the disputed escrow amount was incorrectly flagged as a late payment. 
I request that you investigate this matter and remove the erroneous late payment report from my credit history. If you are unable to verify the accuracy of this information, it should be promptly deleted from my credit report as required by the FCRA. 
Please provide me with the results of your investigation within 30 days, as required by the FCRA. If you find that this information is indeed inaccurate, please send me an updated copy of my credit report. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am formally requesting an investigation into TransUnion for conducting unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit file without my consent. I have never signed any application or given authorization for these inquiries to be made. Despite multiple requests, TransUnion has failed to provide any proof of my authorization for these actions, such as a signed application or a contract along with my valid driver 's license.

These unauthorized hard inquiries raise serious concerns regarding TransUnion 's compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates a permissible purpose for accessing and reporting consumer credit information under 15 U.S. Code 1681b. Under the FCRA, a consumer reporting agency may only provide a consumer report under specific conditions, including written consent from the consumer. Any violation of this provision not only breaches FCRA regulations but also subjects TransUnion to liability.

Here is a list of the unauthorized inquiries that have negatively impacted my credit score a
nd financial standing : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I have not provided any entity with the authority to access or pull my credit, and TransUnion 's failure to comply with FCRA regulations has caused undue harm to my credit standing. Under the FCRA, TransUnion is required to correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information within 30 days of receiving a dispute. I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate TransUnions practices, hold them accountable for failing to comply with the law, and take immediate action to remove these unauthorized hard inquiries from my credit report. Additionally, despite my repeated communications, including sending notarized documents via first-class mail. TransUnion continues to ignore my requests, subjecting me to ongoing psychological harassment through their unauthorized actions. I need verifiable proof of who initiated these hard inquiries, along with proof of identity, to confirm who authorized them. Please investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure that these illegitimate inquiries are removed from my credit file immediately.

Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
The last check I received from my job was {$19.00}. Because I am getting a certification and they took money out of my check. That is just an example of how unstable my finances can be at times. On top of that I still have to pay my rent and my bills. I tell Sallie Mae that I can not make a payment. They begin harassing me, calling me multiple times a day. They even began calling family members, distant family that arent even really related to me by blood, and have even asked about someone in my family who isnt even alive!!! The harassment and disrespect have gone above and beyond in my opinion. Calling me after XXXX XXXX  also. Trying to use my number to fill their quotas, at this point Ive been put in emotional distress over it and have chosen to consult a lawyer.

Company: Zions Debt Holdings
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for service with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to provide monitoring services to my home. I setup auto pay to ensure payments were made on time. XXXX sold to XXXX and my account was transferred and I maintained the auto payment until I canceled the service in XXXX XXXX XXXX. This month I received an alert on my credit report of a collection which drastically lowered my credit score. I contacted the company regarding this error and was told to provide proof. I submitted to them a few receipts showing the payments were made and that the account was closed in XXXX XXXX XXXX  but they still have not agreed to remove the derogatory reporting. The company is ZIONS DEBT HOLDINGS, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They have been sued and lost to numerous parties for their practices. I communicated to them I am willing to go to court to have this removed but will ask CFPB for assistance to avoid the expenses of a trial. This error is causing me financial hardship and emotional/mental stress as I am not able to make life saving medical equipment purchases due to credit collections.
