Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Complaint narrative:
Recent findings by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) have highlighted major concerns regarding Equifaxs failure to conduct proper investigations. The CFPB has alleged in a lawsuit that Equifax violated consumer protection laws by performing inadequate investigations, failing to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

According to XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Equifax is required to conduct a complete reinvestigation of disputed items within 30 days. Additionally, under XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ( a ) ( 5 ), any inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information must be corrected or removed promptly. Failure to comply with these requirements constitutes a violation of federal law. 

I am disputing the following unresolved negative items on my credit report : XXXX - XXXX - {$140.00} Despite my repeated disputes and submission of all necessary documentation, these items remain unverified. This inaction has caused significant financial harm and emotional distress. 

As guaranteed by the FCRA, I am entitled to an accurate credit report. I request immediate action to verify or remove these items to resolve this ongoing violation of my rights.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the presence of fraudulent information on my credit report, in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request the immediate blocking and removal of this information. Enclosed with this letter is a copy of my police report, along with the identity theft report filed with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as supporting evidence of my identity theft claim. 

Pursuant 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 fraudulent within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked and removed immediately : XXXX / XXXX Additional Legal Basis : Violation of Section 1681b of the FCRA Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681b establishes the permissible purposes under which a credit bureau may provide a credit report to third parties. This law clearly states that a credit bureau may only furnish a consumer report under specific circumstances, one of which includes obtaining the consumers express written consent.

As I never provided written or express consent for the inclusion or reporting of the fraudulent information in question, there is no valid legal basis for this information to remain on my credit file.

Requested Actions Immediate blocking and removal of the fraudulent account listed above.

Written confirmation of the removal of the fraudulent information.

Assurance that the deleted information will not be reinserted into my credit report in the future.

Several times, I have contacted the credit bureau reporting these fraudulent accounts on my report, yet CREDIT BUREAU has failed to provide a solution to this issue. This situation has significantly affected me, preventing me from acquiring a new home for my children. Furthermore, these accounts have already been deleted and not verified by other bureaus, which raises concerns as to why they remain on my report.

I have requested contracts from the company in question containing my information, yet after more than 60 days, I have not received any response. Please help me delete these accounts immediately. I am once again attaching the FTC report in the hope that you will make a fair decision regarding my case.

I appreciate your prompt response and resolution to this matter. I expect a reply within the legally required timeframe.

I have made multiple attempts to resolve these discrepancies by submitting disputes and providing supporting documents, yet no corrective action has been taken.

The ongoing stress caused by these unresolved issues has made it difficult to focus on daily responsibilities.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systematic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence i provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
