Complaint narrative:
" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, I received a letter from my doctor 's office informing me that I was in a data breach. I tried to contact Experian to lock my credit down and place a fraud alert with them but their IVR system refused to transfer me to a real person so I can explain the situation. I CALLED OVER 7 TIMES AND THEIR AUTOMATED SYSTEM WAS LIKE " I can only transfer you under special circumstances '' AND HUNG UP ON ME! If I want to speak to someone, TRANSFER ME TO A PERSON. DO NOT TELL ME YOU CAN'T TRANSFER ME AND THEN HANG UP! My parents were victims of identity fraud and had to go through the same things as I did. Call Experian, go through their IVR, get hung up on, etc. At no point was I able to lock my Experian report down since I could not get ahold of anyone to do so. Keep in mind I called at XXXX XXXX  on a MONDAY, NOT XXXX XXXX  ON A FRIDAY! If a company is going to have a phone number to call, expect people to want to talk to an actual peson, NOT A FREAKING ROBOT THAT WON'T UNDERSTAND THICK DIALECTS OR ACCENTS! I also tried to get a credit report from XXXX for Experian but for " some reason '' that specific report had " technical issues '' and " your request could not be handled '' exceptions. This happened every time I tried to access that website. Does not matter if I used a different browser, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) mode, cleared cache and cookies or anything else. It even didn't work trying a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DEVICE ALTOGETHER! All the same results.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates XXXX XXXX XXXX. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section XXXX ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than XXXX days before the payment due date. 

This company never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section XXXX ( b ). 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their persistent failure to respond to my dispute letters concerning inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite multiple efforts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not fulfilled their duty to acknowledge or investigate my disputes, as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after several submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirmation of an investigation, or correction of the disputed information. This lack of action is a clear violation of the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days. 

I request that you update, block, or delete the inaccurate accounts and unauthorized inquiries listed in my credit report. 

Please review the attached letter for additional details. Thank you for your assistance.
