Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am sending this to you today because I have pulled my most recent credit report and I am extremely confused. It is very troubling as these items are reporting as incorrect and inaccurate information. I would appreciate your assistance to solve this problem. 
I have done research at my end and as you and myself both aware, there are laws that guarantee that credit bureaus report accurate information. According to the FCRA, the information provided should be 100 % accurate, 100 % verifiable, and reported in a timely fashion. I am well aware you have 30 days to complete this investigation. Your failure to comply with federal regulations is a serious violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and could possibly result in an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission. 
I must demand that you run a thorough investigation for each and every mistake listed, and a complete report MUST be provided to me after you have completed the investigation.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I applied for new vehicle loan with XXXX XXXX and while my loan was promptly approved, the credit score provided to XXXX resulted in a tier 2 finance rate ; 5.94 % vs 5.29 % over 72 months. Trans Union was the source and they reported my score to XXXX at XXXX, per the letter XXXX subsequently sent me. 

The problem is, I have been monitoring my Trans Union credit score for years on XXXX XXXX and it was specifically reported at the same time as my loan application to have been XXXX. The other two credit bureaus are closer to the XXXX than they are the XXXX ; I've never had any credit score that low by any of the three credit reporting bureaus in I don't know how long. 

The same goes for the free credit score provided on XXXX 's own website which shows me at a XXXX. XXXXXXXX XXXX tells me that that Vatange 3.0 score comes from Trans Union. 

The end result is I have a tier two loan rate that over the life of the loan results in thousands of dollars more interest. This is a deceptive and fraudulent ( because it costs me more money ) practice by Trans Union and they need to be asked why all other sources being shown to me have been reporting my Trans Union credit score significantly greater than what they reported to XXXX when I asked for a loan.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

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.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Sued you in a state where you do not live or did not sign for the debt
Company: Mandarich Law Group, LLP

Complaint narrative:
My father, a retired XXXX  citizen, in the United States forwarded the a letter to me in XXXX where I have lived since XXXX. The letter states that it is from a debt collector and provides contact information for a law firm. 

The letter indicates that there is pending legal action on collections for a large sum of money charged in XXXX. It indicates that they intend to sue and further costs may be incurred. Since I do not have any familiarity with the law organization or the named creditor, nor can I place the charge amount in my own transaction history, I believe this may be a scam. 

I am also suspicious since it was sent to my XXXX  relatives address rather than my correct international address. The letter itself states that contacting family members regarding the information it contains is not legal, yet that does seem to be what they have done. 

I received no response from the company.

I received a letter to my home address asking for confidential information to be mailed to Celtic Bank ( serviced by Continental Finance Company ) so that my application could be completed. I never applied for or have heard of this card. I attempted to contact the bank and the credit card company and was not able to get through to anyone as I am not a customer. I am unable to use the reference number they provided to get through to customer service and the phone number provided on the Continental Finance Company website led to a help line who had not even heard of the XXXX XXXX or Continental Finance and Celtic Bank.
