Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Greetings, I am writing to officially dispute inaccurate information on my credit report that I understand is harming my financial well-being. I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and request a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies, as required by federal law. 
Recently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit against Experian for its failure to properly investigate consumer disputes, citing " sham investigations '' and other unlawful practices. These practices, as outlined by the CFPB, include : Conducting inadequate investigations that fail to address consumer disputes properly. 
Reinserting previously disputed and inaccurate information without explanation. 
Failing to notify consumers about investigation results effectively. 
These allegations highlight systemic issues that directly undermine consumer protections and perpetuate the inclusion of inaccurate information on credit reports. I am deeply concerned that my dispute may be mishandled in a similar manner. 
Please review the Inaccurate Information being report : Under the FCRA, you are required to : Conduct a proper investigation into my dispute. 
Inform me of the results of your investigation in a clear and comprehensible manner. 
Provide me with any documentation you rely on if the disputed information is verified as accurate.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
