Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against TRANSUNION for failing to provide the method of verification for multiple disputed items on my credit report, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Despite my repeated requests, TRANSUNION has continuously refused to provide the required documentation or method of verification, instead responding only with a generic " verified '' statement. This failure to substantiate verification violates my rights as a consumer. 

I request that the CFPB require TRANSUNION to remove all negative items that they have failed to verify according to FCRA guidelines. 

Details of Violation : Lack of Transparency : Despite my repeated requests, the credit bureau has failed to disclose the method of verification, which is a right under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). 
Failure to Remove Unverified Information : Since they are unable or unwilling to show how the information was verified, I am requesting the removal of this unverifiable items from my credit report. 
I respectfully request that the CFPB enforce compliance with the FCRA and require TRANSUNION to REMOVE the disputed items from my credit report if verification can not be adequately substantiated.

Complaint narrative:
A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, Experian unexpectedly removed an Extended 7 Year Fraud Identity Theft Alert from my credit report that should not be removed unless I remove it within the roughly 6 years remaining time. I tried calling Experian on Sunday XX/XX/XXXX when I was notified by a different consumer credit reporting agency, but Experians automated system would not allow me to place the alert back my account or speak with customer service to get answers on why it was removed. There is someone actively trying to steal my identity and I am more vulnerable now because of what Experian has done. Time matters. I tried calling Experian again just now 7 times on XX/XX/XXXX and I am unable to get past the automated system to speak to anyone. Why did Experian remove the fraud alert without my permission? Thankfully the Extended Fraud Alert is still listed on XXXX and XXXX. And not being able to speak with anyone at Experian about something this important truly angers me! Can CFPB please help me? Can the CFPB require Experian be accessible to consumers to have access to live customer support in cases of emergencies involving Fraud and Identity Theft Alerts? Leaving a person exposed for days while a complaint works its way through agencies because Experian is blocking consumer call connections to customer support staff causing further harm to consumers?

Although the loan was originally set for a XXXX term, I paid it off approximately XXXX  years early, fully closing the account in XX/XX/year>. This early repayment highlights my commitment to responsible credit management and timely payments.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for 1099-C Form Account Charged Off To Whom It May Concern, I am writing regarding an account that appears on my credit report under your companys name and is marked as a charge off. This indicates that you reported this balance to the IRS as income due to cancellation of debt. Pursuant to this status, I am formally requesting a copy of IRS Form 1099-C ( Cancellation of Debt ) for my records.

On my credit report, it is indicated that this account has been charged off, suggesting that the debt has been canceled and reported as such to the IRS. If this is correct, a Form 1099-C should have been filed and provided to both me and the IRS as required by law. Please provide me with a copy of this 1099-C form, as this is necessary for my tax records.

If you do not provide this form or can not substantiate that this account was properly reported to the IRS, I will consider taking legal action for statutory damages and potential fraud. Failure to provide accurate documentation may be a violation of both federal tax law and credit reporting standards.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving the requested documentation within 15 days.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a letter regarding the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report, but it's now been over 30 days, and I haven't received any response. This lack of action is really concerning. According to Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), youre required to investigate disputed items within 30 days, and if you don't, those items must be removed from my report.

Since it's been more than 30 days, I expect my credit report to be updated immediately, reflecting the removal of the disputed accounts. If this isn't resolved quickly, Ill have no choice but to consider legal action, as this ongoing delay has caused me considerable stress. 

Additionally, I was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breaches, which makes me even more worried about how my personal information is being handled.

More than 2 years ago, I paid off a personal consolidation-type loan with OneMain in XXXX, NC. I recently purchased a new vehicle and while working with the finance manager saw that OneMain ran a credit check on me on XX/XX/year>. I did not request, nor approve them to run a credit check on me, and this now shows on my credit report as a hard inquiry.

I request that OneMain does not run any further credit checks on me going forward! My name with their company may be XXXX XXXX ( my maiden name ).
