Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. A couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint against TransUnion who can not authenticate me when I call. I initiated a dispute on an inaccurate item on my credit report. In response, TransUnion has requested that I send highly sensitive personal information, specifically a copy of my driver 's license and Social Security card, through the mail for identity verification. 

I am extremely uncomfortable with this request and believe it exposes me to an unnecessary and significant risk of identity theft. I am a survivor of identity theft. Mailing such documents is an outdated and insecure method of verification. In an age where data security is a primary concern, a large credit reporting agency like TransUnion should have a secure, digital method for consumers to upload verification documents. 

I am willing to provide the requested information, but only through a secure online portal. My goal is to proceed with the dispute of the inaccurate information on my credit report without having to risk my personal security by sending my most sensitive documents via the postal service. 

I request that TransUnion provide a secure alternative for identity verification so that I may complete my dispute process. 

Sincerely, Concerned Consumer

State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am attaching a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as a result of such theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately blocked from my credit report. This block should remain in effect for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported.

I have contacted TRANSUNION multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive resolution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely affecting me as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my economic growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm. 
These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit agencies, so I do not understand why this agency continues to assert that these accounts belong to me. 
I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than 60 days, I have not received any response. I respectfully request your assistance in removing these accounts immediately.

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:
I have previously disputed Experian and Transunion regarding multiple accounts that are inaccurate. As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint against US Bank for its failure to comply with federal credit reporting regulations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The bank is reporting a tradeline under account number US BANK XXXX ( opened XX/XX/year> ) with a balance of {$5100.00} and derogatory late payment remarks to the major credit reporting agencies. 

I dispute the accuracy of the late payment remark. I recently submitted a written request to US Bank, under FCRA Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), requesting verifiable documentation specifically, the original signed agreement or contract that substantiates this account and the alleged delinquency.

To date, US Bank has failed to provide any documentation or evidence of the debt. Their investigation concluded without furnishing any physical proof to support their reporting. This not only undermines the legitimacy and accuracy of the reported account but also constitutes a direct violation of FCRA 1681e ( b ), which mandates that furnishers maintain procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy.

Additionally, this derogatory remark is causing ongoing harm to my creditworthiness, affecting my access to fair credit opportunities.
